While I get the desire to degoogle and only use open source, it’s a pretty tough journey with a relatively steep learning curve, depending on your technical skill and knowledge. I would suggest looking at the pre-made and keeping their proprietary software as your starting point. Get your docker apps going, with everything backed up and degoogled and your own personal cloud. Then in the future, you can just transfer the data to a more open version.

I use synology and have been really happy with it. Haven’t been so happy with them, trying to force the use of verified drives only, but they backed down. They have a lot of functionality built in and their modified version of Linux works well and offers a lot of the google type cloud functionality out of the box, I haven’t used terramaster or ugreen. My understanding is their software and particularly docker support is poorer, it that was a few years ago. You’ll find devolving is a process, so don’t feel a need to do it all at once.

Just moving from windows to Linux made impromenets for me in terms of connecting to my nas, as nags rather than samba was automatically an option. Synologynhas built in remote access for a bunch of apps through their dynamic dns services, with easy letsencrypt workflows with wizards. Wireguard allows similar access to any docker apps. However, I’ve found it useful to be able to log in and download files from computers not in my wireguard network.

If you have an old laptop, or PC you could start out using it instead of a dedicated nas, which is just a stripped down pc. You would then just put true as or media vault on it.

I was holding off on tailscale, with the intention of doing it eventually as I thought it would be a chore. Took about 5 minutes. Do it now. Before you set up local address bookmarks that you’ll have to change.

I saw the James Bond new casting one and was skeptical, but also half believed. I was skeptical enough to Google for other sources and the joke was spoiled by the top result.

In the event of a server fail, can you export from any device?

Ah, ok. I don’t use reddit any more.

What hype? I was only barely aware it relaunched itself.

Or even any foss projects with social parts that are kid safe.

I’d love to let my kid play daily Scrabble with his grandma overseas with chat. However, .ost games seem to be open to all or closes to chat completely. There is no middle ground.

I think it depends on the instance. So check the instance rules that you are considering. Then message the mods and ask, I reckon!

Couldn’t you just create the communities on an existing server? Obviously it would be good to not be on the biggest one to help spread out the community, as that’s the point of federation. If it’s on a server with existing users, you’re more likely to get members join as it will show in their local feed.

Immich-go is what you’re looking for.

Sorry, must have spellchecked. Vikunja was indeed what I meant.

Vikings has a man an option and also allows task assignment to family members.

Yes, I only realised when you pointed it out before.

Yes, you need the pi separately. I didn’t know it was different tona standard pi. I thought all pis came without case and you could pick and choose what to add.

I have a Nas and use that for torrents, but it’s quite inderpowered. I use an old laptop as a home server for media. However, as it’s old, it’s not very efficient,.so I don’t want to leave it always on.

My router has PoE and this would have been an elegant solution. It works with a Pi, it just provides the form factor, was my understanding.

I’m just about to move house, which I thought was a perfect time to pick one up. I saw the news about no more new stock and then looked and everywhere that ships to me is out of stock.

I’d say you are getting conflicts. Can you put your isp router into bridge mode?

Which router is a router and which is a bridge? If they are both acting as routers, you may have conflicts. Is there only one dchp server? Can the openwrt router access internet (not clients) when proton is off.

If the transcoding is the problem, you could set up a sync thing folder that allows you to just drop on their media and have it sync across to them. It would be duplicated and I don’t know if it’s better than what you’re already doing but it’s simpler.
