I follow the good 9pd 3 2 2 rule. Three backups, in two locations, one is remote.

First copy on an external hard drive that gets mounted only for that, then unmounted.

Second copy still at home, on a disk connected to an OpenWRT access point in the patio.

Third copy on my VPS, so remote.

Each night restic take care of all that.

I never tested copyparty… Thank you for the test… Nice! I am using OpenList at this time, but CC is also nice.

Yes it’s docker… Immich is only deployed via docker.

Indeed its your docker mount points / volumes.

Just use Nginx… It isn’t that difficult, after all.

Or try any one of the “simplified” other proxies out there. I never seen the need for NPM anyway, as it just obfuscate nginx configuration stuff from your eyes.

I wrote for my own benefit, and for others who might be interested.

Gentooer here. Emerge sync &; world daily at night.

Weekly a manual check for stuff that doesn’t autoupdate for reasons.

Monthly / biweekly podman compose pull for containers. Manual, because i don’t trust that kind of autoupdate.

Edit: opnSense updates are manual only when I remember because if it breaks, I must be at home to fix it or i lose remote access and that’s bad.

I don’t care for the pwa since I use Markor on android and syncrhing…

Yes the looks are ugly and it’s been a pain with SSO and auth in general…

Let me know!

I like how your project looks more.

I currently use Silverbullet.MD, which is cool, but a bit too much for my needs.

Can you tell me the pros of using jotty instead?

Cool idea!

But why would I use it? What advantage does I give me over traditional MD? The opportunity to use different filesystems on different disks? Or hot-add already formatted disks? I don’t really get it.

I love how smooth is photo field, and the way it makes browsing your photos so unique.

I think it’s a neat project!

I remember trying it. A very neat idea beautifully implemented. But switched to IMMICH, more features, closer to what I needed.

Keep up the great job! Having alternatives is always a good thing.

I loved photofield!

Never used calls…

I have gone down the matrix rabbit hole but i choose Continuwity, which is the successor to Conduwuit after the community drama.

It’s a rust server alternative to synapse, it’s lightweight and works very well.

Fuck synapse, it’s a colossal pain for small servers, not worth it. I also actively avoid anything related to the company behind it since I think they poison what matrix could be.

I wish I started with XMPP, but now I am selfhosted on matrix, so.

The GMK seems more configurable and cheaper overall.

Beside this, there is no real difference as far as Linux support, I think.

this is my own experience.

Sure you CAN do it, but it’s much more difficult than anything lse to self-host at home.

Dahua where top of the class, unfortunately hard to find today. I run like 8 of them.

Reolink maybe, but own one and not really at par with Dahua.

If anybody knows who is the successor to dahua, let me know.

Chaper than that, sorry, it’s going to be shit.

Don’t selfhost email at home. Tons of reasons why won’t work, this is only the tip of the iceberg you are facing.

Indeed selfhost a mailserver, I do, but do it on a VPS. Of course, more the better, but a very cheap VPS is the bare minimum you gonna need.

No workaround there.

Unless you want a photo organizer like Immich, you can upload or better maybe link photos in dokuwik.

And you can write entire pages with photos, something you cannot do in immich or similar tools.

Self host dokuwiki. Simple, easy, effective. I do.

Wait, docker doesn’t require any hardware virtualization that’s only for VMs…
