Yeah you quite do so, topic title says “popular VPS providers” so I’m reffering to that subject.
I’m well aware that Tech and Me offers the solutions and we should keep doing that.
But we need to separate the intended users we want to reach with this, to move on with the topic question.
- Don’t want to do anything setup wise - Docker/snap
- Want to do a little or learn - VM
- Want to do everything (script wise and see whats happening) and tweak around - VM
Thats how i see it.
Also by portforwarding and firewall rules I meant that buying a VPS at eg. Digital ocean wont require routing but firewall rules. Which have not yet been implemented into the VM, which i think they should (Just a simple echo: these are your open ports, if you want to open more: sudo ufw allow xxxx).
Setting it up at home is where the VM is for designed right now. Some small tweaks need to be done to make it workable for both, Firewall/routing, GSO TSO compression etc
And again for sure i know what you mean but this isn’t about Tech and Me, just about other company’s to offer a nice Nextcloud package.
