There’s also Netbird as an open source alternative to Tailscale. @damnthefilibuster

theorangeninja ,

How are you using Netbird in your setup if I may ask?

theorangeninja ,

What are ACLs? And do you use the self hosted or the hosted option?

theorangeninja ,

Thank you very much! Can you link to a noob-friendly guide for all the features Netbird offers?

theorangeninja ,

Also conduit.rs

theorangeninja OP ,

We can hope for a fediverse alternative!

theorangeninja ,

Up for the username

theorangeninja ,

How does Immich compare to something like PhotoPrism or Piwigo?

theorangeninja ,

This one right? Futo, Please don’t attempt to create your own Open Source Definition

theorangeninja ,

Let’s hope it stays like that!

theorangeninja ,

Thanks for the detailed writeup, I think I understood it properly now!

Crazy that you have to pay for PhotoPrism to have more users!

Maybe they add these features you want to Immich? Given that it’s still in development.

theorangeninja ,

I guess at this point we have to take what we get.

theorangeninja ,

Yeah I wanted to selfhost photoprism soon but now I have to reconsider that.

theorangeninja ,

Photoview looks nice too, I might try that.

Help for getting started with hardware

I dived into the selfhosting rabbit hole once again and again I am stuck at the hardware part. I’d like to start small-ish to make it realisable. I thought about a NAS (Openmediavault probably). First I wanted to do it on a Raspberry Pi with an external hard-drive but then I read USB connected drives are unreliable and so on....

theorangeninja OP ,

With dedicated NAS you mean a synology or something like that? Because they are not very affordable. Yeah I figured that so I didn’t even ask for a discount.

theorangeninja OP ,

What about some drives in a small form factor business PC (not the new mini PCs)? Too bad airflow to cool it?

theorangeninja OP ,

I also thought about using it as a backup too, but a backup usually has way less reads and writes than a NAS?

theorangeninja OP ,

First thank you for the detailed examples!

Alright, I would like a NAS and (separated) a server with some small services (pi-hole or adguard, jellyfin (getting the data from the NAS), and so on). I thought about running the small services with docker on a RPi 4 and the NAS on a refurbished business PC with SATA drives in the case (I checked ebay and there are mainboards with 4 SATA III connectors and PCI so I could even add more SATA connectors). In a second moment a backup server (maybe with borg) would be a good idea but I could also do manual backups with an external USB HDD for the time being. And I have a tight budget.

theorangeninja OP ,

That’s good to hear, maybe I should reconsider the Pi.

theorangeninja OP ,

The link you posted is not working for me but doesn’t matter. Thank you very much for the writeup!

I found a few of https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HP_8200_Elite_SFF.jpg#/media/File:HP_8200_Elite_SFF.jpg on ebay, refurbished business machines mostly. I think you can fit a drive or two inside there? The mainboards have SATA connectors. Maybe I could also take the mainboard and power supply out and put them in my old tower.

Another thing I thought about was buying a https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Intel_NUC_Haswell_(case_rear_panel).jpg#/media/File:Intel_NUC_Haswell_(case_rear_panel).jpg, put it in my old tower, add a M.2 6xSATA card and put the drives in the bays of the tower.

But probably I should just use my RPi400, hook up one or two big external HDDs (add RAID?) and start there. Then I can better decide what I want and need after testing Openmediavault for example. While talking about the RPi and booting from USB drives. Should I buy a cheap-ish USB SSD and boot from that and not from the SD card? What’s the problem with SD cards?

theorangeninja OP ,

Thank you very much for the insights. Which drives do you use (HDD or SSD)?

theorangeninja OP ,

This case looks good but is a bit out of my budget for now. But to understand this properly, the Node 304 fits a micro-atx mainboard? Which this one from gigabyte is, right?

Most Dell and OEM parts won’t work on standard cases, FYI.

This was very helpful, thank you! I would have spent money for nothing!

theorangeninja OP ,

This describes what I’d like to do. Budget is low and I don’t have a lot of hardware laying around. For the capacity I don’t know yet but for sure 6tb to start with. I’d like to try RAID (heard a lot, never tried it yet) and another backup (maybe something for the future).

This is roughly what I want to to with my system. A synology sounds nice but they are pricey and I’m not learning so much so I’d go another route if possible.

Maybe it’s best if I just hook up some USB drives to my Pi and get my hands dirty with that. If the performance is not too bad (like you said).

theorangeninja OP ,

I have a seagate external drive at home, do you know if that one can be opened too? But good to know, thanks.

I will consider it, do you think a refurbished business 1L client would work too?

theorangeninja OP ,

Sounds good, I will check how much that would cost and consider it. There are probably plenty of resources going over low power cpu right? Thank you!

theorangeninja OP ,

Thank you very much! Can you elaborate on why m720/920 have a better extensibilty? And what would be a resonable data transfer rate for a DAS?

theorangeninja OP ,

Are you refering to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Intel_NUC_Haswell_(case_rear_panel).jpg#/media/File:Intel_NUC_Haswell_(case_rear_panel).jpg as a thin client?

theorangeninja OP ,

Yes, having friends who deal with hardware sounds very good.

I learned a lot from this post about small form factor pcs having different mainboards than towers so I might get a micro atx for my old tower to stay flexible for the future.

theorangeninja OP ,

Maybe they removed it from the accounts because of the recent push from modders to patch an offline mode.

theorangeninja OP ,

The community is dead, unfortunately.

theorangeninja OP ,

Yes exactly, there should be a community or something. But I am not familiar with creating lemmy communities or moderating online forums so I don’t think I am a good fit.

theorangeninja OP ,

Yes you definitely should. It’s great that we have an open alternative to the classic Minecraft with easier modding!

theorangeninja ,

If they abuse their monopoly it sounds like the DMA should be applied.

theorangeninja ,

Get the pitchforks!

Just Nintendo doing Nintendo-things.
