  My setup is exactly what you’re aiming for: Immich and it’s database resides on the main SSD while the photos and videos are uploaded to my NAS using NFS shares and a bind mount to /mnt/

  It isnt the snappiest experience loading media off the HDD’s but it’s been very reliable.

  My first time I started winging it with a raspberry pi, docker, and nginx and it took me like 2 months to get one service up and running and I didn’t feel it was very secure - fail2ban didn’t work, geoblocking didn’t work, and updates were manual.

  When I re-started from scratch with an x86 device and cosmos it has been shockingly easy in comparison. Not only is it much quicker to spool the service up (app store), they can be automatically updated, the proxy has options for geoblocking, rate limiting, etc. I’ve even got some of the services below built from a custom compose file instead of the app store, some use remote storage and some are set up with OAuth SSO. There’s still mild troubleshooting for a lot of things but it’s been much easier for me to understand and fix issues, plus there’s an active discord community as well.

  I’m all in on Cosmos Cloud, been very happy with it

  Same here lol, it’s been so long that I don’t think I can even take delivery of a 2 seater anymore due to family size changes

  I only have my one anecdote to go off of, but if you are located in the US eBay is full of computer reseller postings and mine arrived in very clean condition. And eBay generally has pretty strong buyer protections.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help me choose hardware for my first custom setup⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The beginning of your post sounds like you are still looking at hardware to buy, but the later half seems like you already have the NUC?

  If not I’d suggest looking at a used HP Mini, Lenovo Tiny, or Dell Micro ex-enterprise PC. They can be had very cheap off ebay, run with similarly low power demands but very capable devices. I run an HP 705 G4 mini Ryzen 5 2600GE with 16gb ram, 256gb SSD, cost me about $95 and averages about 15w

  Additionally here’s an excellent tutorial to do it via Docker Compose in Cosmos Cloud:

  discord.com/channels/…/1283785229923909694

  1. Locate the Docker Compose File:

     • Find the Docker Compose file for the desired service. For example, you can use the Open Chat UI and Ollama setup from the following GitHub repository: Open Chat UI Docker Compose File

  2. Docker Compose Configuration:

     • The Docker Compose file defines two services: ollama and open-webui. This is the configuration

  3. Import the Docker Compose File:

     • Go to the ServApps section in Cosmos.
     • Click on Import Compose File.
     • Click Next and proceed to add or modify the configuration. Replace any ${} placeholders with the desired values, such as latest or any specific version you prefer. You can also make changes later if needed.

  4. Create the Docker Containers:

     • Click Create. The Docker containers will be automatically created based on the provided configuration.

  5. Access the Service:

     • After the containers are created, you can access the service by adding a new URL.
     • Cosmos typically auto-detects the correct port, so you usually only need to create the URL.
     • You can now access the service as usual.

  6. Customize with Labels:

     • Optionally, you can customize the service further using labels such as:
       • cosmos-icon
       • cosmos-stack
       • cosmos-stack-main

  7. Modify Environment Variables:

     • Refer to the documentation for the Docker service and its environment variables. You can modify these variables directly from the Docker or Compose tab in Cosmos.

  That’s it!

  Thanks for editing in the solution!

  Now that I bought different hardware for the cosmos server and my Pi is free I should check out proxmox and unraid though just to compare

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t tried any of those honestly. My previous setup was just a Raspberry Pi running docker with portainer GUI, and nginx pointing to one service. It took me at least a month of dealing with errors, and I got burned out when I could never get geo-blocking or fail2ban working.

  I stumbled across Cosmos when the dev posted about 0.16 release and the main draw for me was integrated reverse proxy, geo-blocking, anti-bot/ddos, and automatic updates. I have only run into a few hiccups setting it up and the discord is pretty active so my issues had either been solved before or someone answered me quick

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What are they reinventing the wheel from, proxmox or something like that? I should take a peek at something else just to see how they compare

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still a noob but I have been shocked at how easy Cosmos Cloud has been to set up compared to my old docker/portainer/nginx architecture. Things just work right away
