I maintain two Proxmox servers and keep a fully updated Ubuntu Server 24.04 template VM ready for deployment. This template includes SSH with my key pair, Fish shell, ATUIN, Docker, Docker Compose, and my user configured in the Docker group. When deploying a new VM from this template, I only need to update the IP address, configure a static DHCP reservation, change the hostname, and install the target application. I keep the master template on NUC5. For deployments on NUC5, I clone the template directly. For deployments on NUC3, I copy the template over first, then complete the configuration. This document outlines the steps to transfer the template between servers—a process I perform infrequently enough to warrant documented procedures.

Updated my Linux Mint 22.2 laptop to use pipewire instead of pulse audio that I've been using for almost a year due to original sound issues with the laptop.

Complete guide to download, set up, and run Whisper AI on a Linux Mint (Ubuntu) laptop. Have tried the tiny, base and smalle models, and they are close in speed to Whisper AI. The small model is a little slower in my testing but very accurate. Note: this setup also gives you the ability to explicitly set the number of processors to work on the translation part. These instructions explicitly set it to 8 threads, which you can change to whatever you want.

Simple to follow general rules to update docker compose installed applications like Immich, Mealie, Paperless-ngx, etc.

This documents the physical location of the images stored on my Proxmox server for the application called Immich running in a VM on that same host. The physical location is tricky since the app is on one ssd, backups on another ssd and data on yet another ssd. I did this for me when I go looking for the physcial location every 6 months and forget how to do it.
