  • any other linux distro can do vms and containers, too. arguably it’s easier to do that than with proxmox.

    but yeah, i wanted to check it out so threw it on the drive i pulled from my old broken laptop to check it out and discovered the wifi omission. i even tried to install base debian and ensure wifi was set up first then convert to a proxmox install. sadly, proxmox’s network stack is in conflict with any other linux network libs and actively uninstalled whichever one i had set up during the proxmox conversion.

    i get their reasoning for not supporting wifi after looking it up but imho completely removing it as a possibility is a bit not cool, bro. i wasn’t trying to do any high availability or multiple nodes or anything like that so it wouldn’t have been an issue for my use case anyway.


  • ugh well that sucks butt. i’ll be trying new alternatives tonight i guess lol

    any recommendations?

    update for posterity: i ditched arcane for just managing compose files manually and lazydocker for logs and restarting containers. it’s plenty good for my needs at the moment. tried komodo and couldn’t get it working and didn’t quite like any others i looked into so i dunno what to recommend for a webgui docker manager.


  • switched from portainer to arcane recently. much easier on the eyes and the ability to save compose projects without deploying them yet is exactly what i was looking for. one thing is weird and i should prolly make an issue for it: no horizontal scroll or word wrap function in the compose editor, so for those compose files with extensive comments like npmplus you’ll have to have open in a text editor or webpage to read to the end of lines.
