  Exactly what I came here to say, paperless app already have a scanner no need to fiddle with file sync and stuff 😊

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What else should I selfhost?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I would look into PiHole vs AdGuard home. Lots of people are locked in on PiHole, but they never tried the other and AdGuard is currently more user friendly and easier to use than PiHole. Not starting a flame war here, everyone will have different view, just look at PiHole vs Adguard home and make your own decision (or try both).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many containers are you all running?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have about 15 trueNAS apps only 2 of them are custom (endurain and molly socket). They are containers but very low effort handled mostly by the system. I also have 3 LXC. And 2 VMs (home assistant and openWRT). I spend only few minutes a week on maintenance. And then I tinker for several hours a week, testing new apps or enhancing current ones configs.

  Neat, I didn’t know about quadlets, never used podman. Seems like a fun new thing to learn 😀 thanks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What is your setup? I have TrueNAS and there I use the apps that are easy to install (and the catalog is not small) and maintain. Basically from time to time I just come and update (one button click). I have networking separate and I had issues with Tailscale for some time, but there I had only 4 services in total, all docker containers and all except the Tailscale straight forward and easy to update. Now I even moved those. One as a custom app to TrueNAS and the rest to proxmox LXC - and that solved my tailscale issue as well. And I am having a good time. But my rule of thumb - before I install anything I ask myself if I REALLY need this, because otherwise I would end up with like a jillion services that are cool, but not really that useful or practical.

  I think what I would recommend to you, find platform like TrueNAS, where lots of things is prepared for you and don’t bother too much with the custom stuff if you don’t enjoy. Also I can recommend having a test rig or VM so that you can always try first, if its easy to install and stable to use. There were occasions when I was trying stuff and it was just bothersome, I had to hack stuff and I was glad in the end I didn’t “pollute” my main server with it.

  Containers are amazing. But they may not be for everything. It also depends what you mean by containers. In this case I think you mean only docker containers. They are amazing, I love them but they are not the silver bullet. But then if you also think about LXC those two types can cover like 99 % of homelab usecases.

  Yeah, I think you either have to use their “external library” feature, which makes immich basically just an image viewer or you have to let immich handle everything but then the filesystem settings are very limited. Sadly there is nothing in between. I opted for the second option. I have the basic storage template (with folders for years, months and days) and I think that is ok by me, but I really wish I could also perma edit the photos. Fyi you can still do operations on your images on the filesystem (not renaming or moving though), you just have to refresh metadata and thumbnails for that photo (or video) in immich. I was doing that for the image or video rotations. Its still not very practical to do that, but that is at least something.

  Yeah, I mean its still good, but I wish I could just say “apply permanently” and have it on the filesystem without having to tinker…

  I love it too actually, I just wish to have a button that would basically say “apply permanently”.

  Its huge and not huge at the same time. Lots of new stuff, but lots only in some clients. What disappoints me a bit is the lossless editing. On one hand it is nice feature to have, on the other I want my edits to be permanent. I made Immich to save my images in pre-defined structure so that if immich stops working one day (or if I want to perform batch file operations or whatever) I still have my photos neatly organized. This lossless editing means that the changes will live somewhere in database and not on the actual filesystem. I hope they eventually introduce option to apply on the actual file.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have one, how much do you pay for a domain name? Any cheap registrar recommendations?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried many only to settle on cloudflare. The other services were poor or in some cases weird (like infomaniak wanting me to upload my ID). Cloudflare had good prices and the service is stable, no surprises + whois privacy included.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New to Tailscale. Can I use it along with my own DNS and NPM to access my services externally using my existing internal custom domain?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also use advertise-routes to get access to the network as opposed to just the node. Like e.g.

  --advertise-routes=192.168.1.0/24
  

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finding a new registrar/name server for .at⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I did the same. I was not hiding any details. After I asked them about it, they said that they have to do it by law. After I told them I won’t give them my id they returned my money and that was that. I don’t see why there has to be kyc on normal domain…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finding a new registrar/name server for .at⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I tried infomaniak and they were doing kyc on me. I aint uploading my id to a domain company. Apparently they do this often (not always) and they can do it any time and take your access if you dont comply.

  I am actualy paying about 5 bucks per terabyte, but I think I am still on old tarif… Oh wait they still offer it, its now called active archive and its 6 dollars per terabyte.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cheapest way to back up a *lot* of data?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody said this here but storj is one of the cheapest storage out there and it’s has redundancy and is distributed. And if you have truenas, it’s kinda baked right in. They had some hiccups when communicating changes to the community, but overall nice folks.

  Doesn’t activity pub means your workouts, maps would be essentially public? That would be something for stalkers, and big tech would surely scrape that too.

  It feels quite equal now that immich is stable. I was actually waiting for that, because I knew the updates before the stable release were sometimes painful and I didn’t want to do that on my production env. 😀

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finding a private self hosted Google Photos alternative that doesn’t profit from my photos⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In immich you can also get the files organized in folders. I have it year > month > day. You can create templates for how you want to organize it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finding a private self hosted Google Photos alternative that doesn’t profit from my photos⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Proton services generally are not bad, but I could never use Proton Drive for anything else than mid to long term backups, because they don’t have it integrated with Linux. I am not angry though, it is what it is and I am only in the niche (even-though Linux is the best OS for privacy). Ever since I have setup my Truenas (and Immich) I find myself caring even less about not being able to use Proton drive 😀 That said, once they have integration I want to use it for a few files.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finding a private self hosted Google Photos alternative that doesn’t profit from my photos⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have experience with both Ente and Immich and I can say they are both excellent. I like Ente a little bit more, but Immich is imho better for selfhosting (both are easy to self host). What I like about Immich in that regard is that it keeps photos organized as files too, they can be categorized in folders (like year > month > day and its customizable). I just want to have an option to have access to the files directly on the filesystem and if (big if) Immich dies, I still have my photos accessible and organized in directories without me needing to do anything. Ente uses s3 storage system.

  I have the first one and its good. Could have a bit better range, I suppose that’s where the 2 comes in, but otherwise very stable and easy to use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tutorial series for self hosting beginners?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like you know what you need to study. I’d suggest searching for the topics and reading. Don’t try to skim, there is a lot to read and learn but it will be worth it, it will open many doors for you. Tutorials in this domain have usually an issue that following a track to achieve something the author can’t really explain everything on the path to the depth because, well, it would be lots of reading anyway and it would end up to be documentation rather than tutorial.

  What I tend to do, it may or may help you, depends on your individual way of learning, is I search for a topic to find some good article. Takes time, but then, usually, after the read I have more things from the article I need to understand more. This sort of branching leads to a good wholesome of a knowledge. In the past I used to skim a lot, which resulted in a lots of trial and error instances, eventually it lead to frustration from not knowing what the heck I am doing. When I realized reading and understanding should not really be skipped/skimmed, I started learning a lot.

  Well… Been using Proton since 2020 and ever since that I don’t have spam issues. I am also using aliases, so if somebody sends me way too many newsletters I just disable the alias.
