  • Start with Docker/Containers.

    Once you understand the basics of it you can start selfhosting all sorts of applications from/on your laptop with very little effort. For Docker Command Line Basics there are tons of free tutorials online. If that’s to big of a step in the beginning, start with a Portainer (spinning it up is basically just copy and paste one little command) the rest can be done from the GUI. Docker will also help you to figure out what you might think is worth „selfhosting“ for yourself. Because selfhosting is almost like clothing: Everyone has their own taste and style.


  • Pretty much also my experience. I migrated HA stand-alone on a Pi4 to a VM on ProxMox (ThinkCenter M720) a couple weeks ago. The direct backup installation did not work so I had to create a new HA and then transfer the backup file over ssh to get it to run.

    One thing I’m curious about: Do you measure the idle power consumption of your NUC and does it really drop down to 6W? Because with a Hypervisor installed I would assume that it never really goes into „idle“ hence the resources are constantly bound.








  • I would agree that curiosity is the biggest driver here. A while back I played around with kali and aircrack-ng and was eventually able to crack one of my neighbors WiFi (big city - lots of signals). Even entered the router which was set up with the “standard credentials” of its type. But in general it’s very unlikely that you will successfully crack any WPA2 Wi-Fi signal. If you want to crack a specific signal it gets even trickier…
