I’m running the following apps as docker container on a 12+ years old Alienware M14x R2 ( spec: https://dl.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_laptop/esuprt_alienware_laptops/alienware-m14x-r2_reference guide_en-us.pdf).

Upgraded RAM to 16 GB, and replaced HDD with internal SSD for better system throughput.

Instead of Wi-Fi, I connected it to LAN for better network throughput.

The performance is good for me and my wife even though I’m running it in power saving mode.

OS: Ubuntu Server 24

Apps: (On rootless docker)

1. Nextcloud AIO
2. Jellyfin
3. Vaultwarden
4. AdGuardHome
5. DrawIO
6. IT-Tools
7. SearxNG
8. LibMedium
9. Traefik
10. Linkwarden
11. Squid
12. Quetre
13. Portainer
14. Transmission

When working remotely, I’m using Tailscale to access it.

How it gets into the system at the first place?

NextCloud - Self hosted personal cloud solution that you can run on Docker or bare metal.

https://nextcloud.com/

This is the most likely reason why all of sudden there is an uptick in attempt to embed malware in AUR build scripts.

But, if you are lazy like me then https://distrosea.com/

Flatpak does have a concept of Verified Publisher. Many distros ship flatpak app store with default filter set to Verified Publisher only.

I tried maybe, Actual budget but then settled on GNU Cash (Native Linux app).

This can be caused by a faulty RAM. If possible, run memtest from boot screen.

Personally I’m waiting for the day it comes out of “under active development” state so that I can migrate from NextCloud to it.

Any way to run the server as a docker container?

That’s correct, but you can use such low end device as your home server with services like PiHole/AdGuardHome, Invidious, Vaultwarden.

One of my low end home lab server is running invidious (YouTube front-end) on Ubuntu server 24 and just using about 900 MB RAM.

My bad, I meant “known major issues”. If minor issues are not fixed, they document it on release note. But, at no point any fixed release distro ever released breaking changes “knowingly”.

Are you familiar with the term “Regression testing”?

Bugs are of two types - known (found during testing by Distro maintainer) and unknown.

Fixed release fixes known bugs before pushing packages.

It is following the standard development life cycle.

Wayland or X11?

Just to reiterate the same point - in fixed release, a package version is not released until all known issues are resolved.

At no point, it is end user responsibility to bother checking anything before installing a new version.

taking any action required no matter the os

This is not really true for fixed release distros. I can’t remember when was the last time I had to read through the release note before Ubuntu version upgrade, or upgrading any package.
