I have Frigate running with a reverse proxy, a coral, etc. I just use the internal Intel GPU on my CPU and it works with a 1080p and a not-quite-4k stream (4MP maybe?). It’s no sweat for the hardware.

GPU is only used to detect motion, and you can even configure a lower resolution sub-stream from your cameras to reduce that load, but I don’t think you’ll need to.

Once motion is detected, Frigate fires up the coral to determine what is there. A car, dog, person, etc.

I have everything get recorded with no processing to a single WD Purple, the biggest I could afford. It holds months of video before rewriting over old stuff.

I have Amcrest cameras which are rebranded Dahua I think. I’m relatively happy with them, but I’ve always dreamed of owning Axis cameras, though they are a bit pricey. My cameras are on a VLAN that can’t access the internet.

Hope that helps.

I’m not an expert, but I think we need more information.

Sounds good to me.

I can only speculate, but PieFed seems great for a community like blahaj. It makes it super easy root out disrespectful users.

One that stands out to me are the optional notes above the comment box for each community.

On piefed.social I’ve used this to put a note on every beehaw.org community about the ‘good vibes only’ nature of that instance and one community on lemmy.ml has a note about the unusual mostly-unwritten moderation policies employed there.

I like this idea, because it would serve as a last second warning to me(and others) that I might be at risk of participating with tankies.

I’ve certainly seen some toxic .ee users which jives with your theory.

I use apps on my phone, but have no clue how to troubleshoot them. I have programs on my computer that I hardly know how to use, let alone know the inner workings of. How is running things in Docker any different? Why put down people who have an interest in running things themselves?

I know you’re just trying to answer the above question of “why do it the hard way”, but it struck me as a little condescending. Sorry if I’m reading too much into it!

To access things outside of your LAN (for example from your phone while at the grocery store), each service gets a DuckDNS entry. “service.myduckdns.com” or whatever.

Your phone will look for service.myduckdns.com on port 443, because you’ll have https:// certificates and that all happens on port 443.

When that request eventually gets to your router and is trying to penetrate your firewall, you’ll need 443 open and forwarded to your Debian machine.

So yes, you have it right.

Also forward port 80.

That question is a little bit out of the scope of a forum like this. A question like that would better be answered by the nginx documentation. Sometimes the project documentation might have a blurb about nginx configuration specific for that project. For example, Immich.

For the most part, you only have to reference the nginx documentation. I’ve never looked at the Immich config above until now, and my Immich server works great.

I’ve had a reverse proxy for years, but the config files are very foreign to me because I use Nginx-Proxy-Manager. NPM makes nginx usable for dummies like me, at the expense of gaining a deeper understanding of how it works. I’m ok with that, but you might feel differently.

It’s run by the main developers of Lemmy, and they’re both authoritarian communists (which I just got from Wikipedia as I’m trying not to use the pejoritve “tankie”).

Anything that could be perceived as speaking down towards Russia, China, maybe even North Korea, ends up with your comment getting deleted and your account banned for a period of time.

They started Lemmy because @dessalines got banned from Reddit. The backwards thinking is that people shouldn’t be banned for speaking their minds, yet their instance is the absolute worst for that.

By avoiding .ml you are helping Lemmy be what it should be – a decentralized, user owned, user moderated place with sensible decisions behind the scenes.

!linux@lemmy.world and !linux@programming.dev have my support since I boycott .ml whenever possible.

For remote access, wireguard is great. You can access stuff via their internal addresses.

One of the few podcasts I listen to sometimes. Wishing them well and thanks for all of the hard work.

I’m a fan of Dockge. Nice simplicity, easy to update container stacks, etc. etc.

It looks like the hEX refresh is the same price from that vendor.

RB5009 is better but more expensive. There’s a PoE version that can power your WiFi APs in the future.

I also question the decision to put OpenWrt on it. RouterOS is solid. There’s a learning curve, but it’s worth it if you’re a nerd.

A while back, the docker installation instructions just had “lemmy:latest” as which version to pull. The Lemmy devs aren’t the brightest, and the beta versions are included as “latest”. Now the instructions have you put the specific version to pull, like “0.19.10”.

I wonder if that’s what happened?

From the GUI go to Datacenter - Notifications. Add a Notification Target of the Webhook type. Mine looks like this:

See the ntfy documentation for different types of authorization, tags (emojis), etc.

Then edit the default Notification Matcher and enable your new target.

By default I get notifications of successful/failed backup jobs. I want to set something up for drive health using SMART, but I’m just sitting down to figure that out now.

Ah, I responded above thinking you already had ntfy set up. Ntfy is so cool, I definitely recommend taking a look at it. I use it for notifications from Home Assistant, Uptime Kuma, Proxmox, etc. There are other similar things out there like Gotify, but I seem to prefer ntfy.

I think if you’re nerdy enough to self host stuff, you can definitely figure out LubeLogger. You don’t have to use all aspects of it… you can just use it for tracking gas mileage if you want.

If you want it to keep track of maintenance like oil changes and stuff, you have to add them manually and tell it how often you want them done.

For tracking gas mileage and maintenance reminders, all you need are 3 tabs - Service Records, Fuel, and Reminders. You can ignore everything else.

I responded to someone below. Hope it helps.
