With Gitea/Forgejo you can run a local actions executor, which builds the images, pushes to gitea’s image registry, and using a script pulls them on the other side and restarts them. Worked fine in our small startup.

Should mention Open Sound Control which is also pretty good. Not exactly a competitor, it was supposed to provide a richer, real time interface. Still popular for certain use cases, including beyond music.

Same. Really happy with it.

I have set up forgejo, which is a fork of gitea. It’s a git forge, but its ticketing system is quite good.

I know you asked about VMs, but fwiw there are GPU-capable containers now: https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html

Used one of these and the setup is as easy as it sounds. It can run Houdini, Stable Diffusion.

Fair enough, i thought it should be noted. The difference was significant at times.

Same here, SMB was significantly slower in our organization than NFS.

Matrix does support voice, and I found the quality to be amazing.

I also played with my kids on lan, and they love it. Had to discipline them a bit to water the plants 😀

The tee program is also very useful!
