But most of the learning and most of the pain comes through that initial setup with the new technology. Yeah.

For sure. You know, this person's, what is his name? Christian, is that right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Christian goes deep. You know, he is self-hosting and he gives a list of things that he is self-hosting. I'm trying to find a list quickly. To the top. My services, yes. Pilehole's in there. RouterOS, I won't read them all. Unify Controller's in there. TrueNAS is in there. I think he even mentions he does it via Proxbox, which I would never do after trying it once.

I don't like to virtualize a NAS and virtualize the access to the disks. It's just too critical. So I feel like a dedicated box to your storage device is proper, even if it's overkill or a waste. You know it's done right. And you can pull the disk immediately if you need to and swap it and do some stuff with TrueNAS to ZFS or straight to ZFS if that's all you have.

VS Code, I thought that was kind of interesting. Yeah, VS Code, I guess it's like a web-based version of it? Or how do you self-host VS Code? So, slight plug, I think they might be sponsoring this episode too. And I'm not saying this because they sponsored it. I truly like their technology. Coder.com is so cool. I think it might be like this because Coder.com is a cloud development environment.

So we've heard of this with like Codespaces, right? And Gitpod. Those are all primarily Docker container based where you're not running in a VM, you're running in a container. Right. And Coder.com does both, but what they do uniquely is when you, I ran, I actually have a Coder.com instance in Proxmox.

So I dedicated a brand new VM I created from Ubuntu, made that the Coder box, and now I can turn that into a cloud development environment. I can have code a new project, a new instance, like a new provision of a thing for me and my developers, which is just me because I was just tinkering with it.

and inside of Coder, the reason why I bring it up is not to plug them, is because whenever you launch the code, you launch VS Code, you can at least, you can launch Vim as well, so it's for all the hackers. You can launch VS Code in the browser, and it will connect to the code on the VM in the browser, like you're literally editing it like that.

I think that's what he's doing here, is he's self-hosting Similar to that, but it's the dedicated layer of just VS Code, where it's remote connecting to somehow the code on your local machine via the browser, probably through the LAN. That's hardcore. That is so hardcore. I don't know why you would do that, but in the coder instance, you do it because of resources.
