Just stick with OMV, its solid.

Fair point.

Too fucking bad, pussy.

Anecdotal: I like like my OG UDM. Bought it the year it came out. No issues in almost 7 years.

Unifi is one of those brands where this phrase applies: “when it works, it works really good.”

People will see those comments, buy the hardware, and some of them will have bad experiences. You will hear about those bad experiences way more often than someone who hasn’t had any issues with the same hardware in the same timeframe.

That’s how it is with pretty much every consumer-focused network equipment brand.

They walked it back for now. It’s gonna come back. They’ve already shown they were willing to cross the line, and they will do it again.

Proxmox isn’t really comparable to Docker (or its 3rd party webui frontends) and was never meant to directly run user-facing services. Proxmox simply provides the virtual infrastructure required to host VMs and LXCs that will run your desired services.

IMO, Dockge (not a typo) is a far cleaner and easier solution than Portainer. Its very simple to set up and can easily link to other Dockge instances on other Docker hosts (I have like 4 or 5 VMs just for Docker). It also doesn’t bury your compose files deep inside a specific Docker volume that only allows its own container to access…like Portainer does.

That’s why they’re asking here.

I use Syncthing to sync my database between my laptops, desktop, work computer, personal phone, work phone, and my NAS (which gets everything and is set to never delete anything). NAS is backed up weekly, and the password database is also backed up to a few trusted cloud services.

I’m honestly not entirely sure. I’ve been eyeballing Valetudo for a few years now, but the price of the supported robots was out of my budget until I happened onto the $20 Wyze from eBay. Took a chance and won big. I’m into it a whopping $65. And a bit of labor to swap the motherboard (mine refused to run ADB at all). But that’s the fun part for me.

So, uh, exactly how “old” is that server? Because, if I understood it correctly, it should be based on 8th gen Intel, which makes this a solid piece of equipment in any homelab (provided you can deal with the noise and power draw).

As tempting as that is, I’m not expecting to build up something that hefty. Love the wireminding and all, but I’m hoping to keep this as something I can mount nicely in my teeny tiny network cabinet. The horsepower I’m looking for, alongside the low thermal and power loads, are my goal. Maybe I’ll expand beyond eventually, but who knows?

Understood! I’m just showing you that a tiny/mini/micro PC is incredibly beefy for what it is, especially when you stuff it with an i7 and a bunch of RAM.

Thank you for the suggestion though! Also love the R&C refs :) Still need to finish Rift Apart.

I name all my physical machines after R&C characters. HA is “Ace” as in Ace Hardlight, and the Optiplex on the left (running Frigate) is “Skrunch”… As in Qwark’s monkey sidekick 😂

Rift Apart was super fun. The final battle sequence is awesome for grinding if you wanna 100% the game. I’ve got it down to a science haha.

I use RPi 4 2Gb for Pi-Hole.

Pi-hole will run on far less than that. I run Pi-hole and PiVPN on a Zero W. Uptime is over a year now.

Buy a 7th gen Intel based tiny/mini/micro PC instead of a Pi or NUC. You get much more bang for your buck. 35W max draw. They are far more capable than people give them credit for. I run 3 of them (4 if you count the Mac mini).

That’s kinda their schtick though. They’ve been that way since before they split off from Owncloud.

I just don’t understand why I’d want the hardware at home instead of remote. I don’t have much space at ome, and my home internet is crappy.

Because plenty of us do have space and have good internet. You don’t have to, and that’s totally fine.

Same here. Dockge is also developed by the Watchtower dev.

It’s so much easier to use than Portainer: no weird licensing shit, uses standard Docker locations, and works even with existing stacks. Also helps me keep Docker stacks organized - each compose.yaml lives in it’s own folder under /opt/stacks/.

I have 4 VMs on my cluster specifically for Docker, each with it’s own Dockge instance, which can be linked together so that any Dockge instance in my cluster can access all Docker stacks over all the VMs.

“NAS” is just an acronym for “Network Attached Storage”. Companies have capitalized on that and will happily sell you a “do everything box”…Until you realize that it’s closed-source, overpriced, and underpowered garbage that will go EOL after a couple years, and might even lock you out of using non-approved drives coughSynologycough

A NAS is literally any computer that is setup to host storage that’s accessible over a network. That’s it. Don’t get suckered into overpriced underpowered crap. Dollar for dollar, literally any PC made in the last decade has more horsepower than a brand new “dedicated NAS”. Hell, a Pentium G4560T (i.e. 6th/7th gen Intel) will run OMV or TrueNAS or whatever without a hitch. Stuff an old ATX case with hard drives, load OMV or TrueNAS or something, and go to town.

As someone who daily drives the Pinebuds… Me too. 😅

I’m switching to Jellyfin myself.

To stream remotely from your own server?

If I chose to use Plex’s plex.tv services to expose my server to the internet, that’s one thing. But I have my Plex server exposed through my own infrastructure (NPM + Let’s Encrypt), so fuck that shit.
