Thank you for the link. I’ve seen it posted a few days ago.
The caching proxy for this tutorial should easily work with any tile server, including self-hosted. However, I’m not sure what the benefits would be if you are already self-hosting a tile server.
Lastly, the self-hosting documentation for OpenFreeMap mentions a 300GB of storage + 4GB of RAM requirement just for serving the tiles, which is still more than I can spare
It’s a server that hosts map data for the whole world, and sends map fragments (tiles)as pictures for the coordinates and zoom levels that clients request from them
This is a guide I wrote for Immich's documentation. It features some Immich specific parts, but should be quite easy to adapt to other use cases.
It is also possible (and not technically hard) to self-host a protomaps release, but this would require 100GB+ of disk space (which I can't spare right now). The main advantages of this guide over hosting a full tile server are :
- it's a single nginx config file to deploy
- it saves you some storage space since you're only hosting tiles you've previously viewed. You can also tweak the maximum cache size to your needs
- it is easy to configure a trade-off between map freshness and privacy by tweaking the cache expiration delay
If you try to follow it, please send me some feedback on the content and the wording, so I can improve it
I’m not sure which distro to recommend (Pop OS seems popular among other comments), I strongly recommend using XFCE (or maybe KDE) for the desktop environment for someone who’s only used Windows before. It should feel familiar enough to them compared to Gnome
I’m pretty sure you can’t run the offline MS office on a Linux computer, even with the recent breakthroughs in the wine/proton area.
While the online in-browser 365 worked fine for me, I’ve found it quite limited. LibreOffice has some compatibility issues documents going back and forth between it and Ms Office.
I usually don’t use any “* Office”, but when I must, one software that works quite well for me is OnlyOffice
