this is something ive been considering since the start of boxfoxes.

it fits in with my vision, but i'll have to unlearn the thing of being mentally stuck on how my brain works with not allowing other people onto your box, even if that's what *nix was designed to do.

initially i had some crazy idea of creating a LXC ct for each user and giving them root access on that (this would be nice as it allows the user to stuff like their own software), but seems a bit over complicated and isn't a well trodden path (having all users on the same box allows us to do things like webhosting, and would have made the imap server sketch a whole lot easier.

i think it makes sense to still have services run in ct's (probably with podman) if only it allows us to not deal with dependency hell having all the services installed on a single box.

it probably makes sense to keep the physical box running proxmox ve (and while this means all the services continue to be LXC, meh), and just create one big CT/VM for the pubnix stuff.

means it's still behind a NAT but oh well.
