It depends on the model you run. Mistral, Gemma, or Phi are great for a majority of devices, even with CPU or integrated graphics inference.

My go-to solution for this is the Android FolderSync app with an SFTP connection.

I’ve been disappointed in general with the XPS line in recent years. Dell has made some keyboard changes that I am not a fan of:

• A touch bar instead of function keys? Why? Did they not learn from Apple’s mistake?
• Changing Fn + Left to Page Down instead Home? And Fn + Right to Page Up instead of End? Once again, why?

I’ve been purchasing the XPS line of laptops since 2013, but I stopped as soon as those changes landed and the Developer Edition of their laptops shipped with inferior hardware compared to the Windows ones.

Of course!

The Docker client communicates over a UNIX socket. If you mount that socket in a container with a Docker client, it can communicate with the host’s Docker instance.

It’s entirely optional.

There’s a container web UI called Portainer, but I’ve never used it. It may be what you’re looking for.

I also use a container called Watchtower to automatically update my services. Granted there’s some risk there, but I wrote a script for backup snapshots in case I need to revert, and Docker makes that easy with image tags.

There’s another container called Autoheal that will restart containers with failed healthchecks. (Not every container has a built in healthcheck, but they’re easy to add with a custom Dockerfile or a docker-compose.)

It’s really not! I migrated rapidly from orchestrating services with Vagrant and virtual machines to Docker just because of how much more efficient it is.

Granted, it’s a different tool to learn and takes time, but I feel like the tradeoff was well worth it in my case.

I also further orchestrate my containers using Ansible, but that’s not entirely necessary for everyone.

You can tinker in the image in a variety of ways, but make sure to preserve your state outside the container in some way:

1. Extend the image you want to use with a custom Dockerfile
2. Execute an interactive shell session, for example docker exec -it containerName /bin/bash
3. Replace or expose filesystem resources using host or volume mounts.

Yes, you can set a variety of resources constraints, including but not limited to processor and memory utilization.

There’s no reason to “freeze” a container, but if your state is in a host or volume mount, destroy the container, migrate your data, and resume it with a run command or docker-compose file. Different terminology and concept, but same result.

It may be worth it if you want to free up overhead used by virtual machines on your host, store your state more centrally, and/or represent your infrastructure as a docker-compose file or set of docker-compose files.

I’m using https://www.kavitareader.com/ with Moon+ Reader. Kavita supports OPDS feeds, which is perfect.

I’m using a combination of:

• The Boox Palma reader, though they have larger tablets if you prefer. I’m not sure about the others, but the Palma runs Android with the Play Store.
• Kavita to host my ebooks online.
• FolderSync with SFTP to sync all of my books ahead of time to my SD card.
• Moon Reader to add my Kavita server’s OPDS feed as an online catalog if I need to grab something manually.
• Calibre to manage and embed metadata.

Nice! I didn’t realize this was a feature of Joplin!

It’s encrypted during transit only (if using HTTPS), though you can look into an encrypted filesystem on the server and the clients you use.

I was going to recommend Ansible as well - documentation as code can never be out of date if you continue using it.
