From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is a question do you know it

So I would like a private part that I would use anonymously and a public part everyone is allowed to know. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T RECOMMEND QUEBES it isn't good at handling GPUs that well and I do have 2 machines like one server and one client but what would be the best setup (and no 2 physical laptops to be carried arround is not a solution neither is dualboot on 1TB)... so let me know

I might just be tired but I'm having a hard time understanding what you're asking.

We are all tired on this day.

Have you considered using Quebes?

If I understand your question, you can just assign some of your server endpoints a public IP/URL and keep some others behind the firewall. My home lab exposes some services to the open internet, while others are only accessible with a VPN.

thanks and then just containering the apps kinda like 2 user profiles but one actual pc user

If you want to run a service in a container for security purposes and it doesn’t need to use the gpu, you can just use any container management software to run it.

Then your “whole pc” is the private part that only you have access to and the stuff in the container is the “public” part.

If the service needs to use the gpu then it might be worthwhile to run it in a vm with gpu passthrough.

No matter what though, you need to say what you’re trying to do. Like exactly what you’re trying to do. Like what specific software packages you’re trying to run and how you want the “anonymous” and “public” sections to be different.

It almost sounds like you wanna run a stable diffusion setup with two different model sets so an authenticated user can make pictures of Donald trumps head on Christina Hendricks body but public users can only do normal generic stuff.

Okay, what do you want?

"Quebes" maybe means QubesOS, so you are searching for an operating system, but since you mentioned problems with GPUs, you probably have Nvidia cards and to that I can only say good luck getting Nvidia cards to run with docker.

[–] danlp6@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well yes basically QuebesOS but with nvidia support

[–] Black616Angel@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

Okay, I cannot really help you with that, because getting Nvidia to run is hard and especially for docker it will most likely not be supported out of the box. You will probably have to install the docker drivers yourself and hope that it works. Sorry, I have an Nvidia card myself and it sucks.

Secondly: Next time be more specific with what you want, what your hardware is and what you want to do with it, because most people (like me) could not really understand, what you meant with your initial text.

Someone already said the firewall, and that’s the most straightforward answer, but there’s lots of stuff a server can be used for and most of those have some facility for making a distinction between unauthenticated users and authenticated ones. So as a second recommendation: use the permissions system.

What are you actually trying to do?
