I’m looking at some old Intel and Pentium CPUs that are in a NUC. Are cores and max clock speed the only things that matter? Would a Pentium be good enough to run Immich? I have a i7-4790, and the NUCs I’m looking at range from a Pentium J5005 to a i3-1115G4. I do run Docker, does that affect anything?

I’m setting up a new hard drive and formatted it as exFAT. I liked the cross platform support and not having to deal with permissions when mounting the device. BUT it doesn’t support hardlinks, which I want to use for the *arr apps. Is NTFS the best pick, and I’ll just have to live with read only on mac?

Hi, I’m running a ubuntu based backup server. And was wondering if there’s a simple way to encrypt my drives in case they get swiped or something by a break in. But also in a way that the computer can be restarted and decrypt the drive without me needing to stick a key in everytime. Any ideas? It seems basic but I’m not an...

I have a Qnap DAS. It is set up in a raid5 configuration. The problem is that each time I reboot my machine (ubuntu 24.04 LTS), the path of the DAS will auto-increment up by one....

I currently host a single-user Mastodon server for myself but it’s on a very small VPS and I’m wanting to migrate to Pleroma because it’s more lightweight. Is there any way to transfer my Mastodon account to Pleroma without doing the standard migration since I have the Mastodon database for my instance? This is so all my...

I’ve been setting up and testing prometheus and grafana for about a week now, since that seems to be the universally accepted solution for self-hosted monitoring. But I’m starting to question why it is so accepted. On top of prometheus not seeming useful on it’s own (needing grafana to visualize and alertmanager for...

I would like to run code-server but i don’t like the idea of trackers hence codium. I found this old reddit thread but it wasn’t particularly helpful.

Before I dabbled a bit with Docker. I wanted to dabble a bit with Podman because it seemed quite interesting. I reinstalled Pi OS Lite on my Pi 3B+ and installed Podman. Then I figured out what to run and started digging through the documentation. Apparently Docker containers work quite similar and even Docker compose can be...

I am considering hosting something and am concerned about DDOS attacks....

We are changing our system. We settled on git (but are open for alternatives) as long as we can selfhost it on our own machines....

many times I find myself in situations where I’m on some computer which is totally isolated - friends computer, completely newly installed (VM), some corporate remote desktop where I can’t install anything — and I need to transfer some information to this computer....

I bought VPS and configured wg-easy, but speed for download is too slow, while speed for uploading is not so bad. Why this might be happening?

Hello, Im trying to host a backup solution on my k8s cluster for my linux and windows clients. I would like it to use https so its easy to manage ingress. Does someone have any recommendations? thanks...

It’s fairly obvious why stopping a service while backing it up makes sense. Imagine backing up Immich while it’s running. You start the backup, db is backed up, now image assets are being copied. That could take an hour. While the assets are being backed up, a new image is uploaded. The live database knows about it but the...

So I’ve got a Consul cluster running for service discovery on a set of servers, some of which have public IP addresses. On some of these nodes I want to run Traefik (dynamically registered), which are registered on tfk.service.consul which holds a number of A and AAAA records. I want my address tfk.example.com to point at...

I have a proxmox+Debian+docker server and I’m looking to setup my backups so that they get backed up (DUH) on my Linux PC whenever it comes online on the local network....

This is killing me. Videos that are gigabytes in size instead of a couple hundred mb. I don’t have the storage space for this. I don’t have the bandwidth for this. More and more content creators are using 4k video instead of 1080p. Is there an easy way to make it only download videos in 1080p? I’ve found a few commands...

Hi there,...

I’m strongly considering adding another backup location in the form of an old Raspberry Pi and a USB HDD....
