Ixury for people that can have public IPs! :)

I purchases a few Netgear R6220, and of course flashed OpenWRT on all of them!

Great hardware, cheap, and perfectly supported. A few years old, so I could even find them used at an amazing price point.

I find tdarr too much.

I had your same needs and ended up creating a bash script that run ffmpeg and has quite some flexibility.

Check it out: https://github.com/gardiol/media_fixer

You might want to change the ffmpeg default settings (its documented in the readme, just set some envs) because by default it encode in AV1 with mkv container at 720p, but all that can be easily changed.

Apache is more a web server and less a reverse proxy. Nginx shines as reverse proxy more than as a web server IMHO.

√But lots of people here prefer “simpler” solutions like traefik or caddy, seeing somebody jumping to nginx made me smile positively.

Thank you! I hope my wiki can be useful to you.

Yes, we need more internet like it was, no monetization, no ads, just sharing for the fun of it. That needs to restart back from us. A little tiny part maybe, but worthwhile.

Lots of people talks, but few acts.

Love it!

1000 kudos!

Check my wiki https://wiki.gardiol.org/ I have documented my journey as well, it could be useful for you too maybe.

Also more kudos for using NGINX.

Yes, we are talking of cheap ups… :)

Some cheap Eaton… I got a multi-plug from Eaton, works fine.

I wouldn’t go cheaper…

And remember that for any ups you need to plan replacing batteries every 12-18 months!

Also, true there is more risk, but you should always balance it with advantages.

If your immich is properly protected behind a reverse proxy and encrypted with https, and containerized, preferably root-less container, and you properly back it up, go ahead and enjoy sharing.

Yeah, but if you put everything behind a well configured reverse proxy with proper SSL certs (let’s encrypt) and maybe also a good SSO (not mandatory, but recomended) you will be fine.

These pages have been written for my own usage and use case, so YMWV…

Yes, maybe I need to recheck… Maybe now will work as I intended…

All my photos are sorted into albums, i always browse them by album.

Don’t care for “explorer like” but I need to see them as the albums they are part of, like all together in the same view, and be able to select which album/albums I want to look at

NUT worked fine on everything I thrown at it. Both nice branded ones (Eaton…) And cheapo UPSs unbranded.

I tried photofield and I loved it. What was missing for me was folder view! If it will be ever added, I will switch immediately.

Yes, I would still do raid. Because a disk fail will not cause a blackout. Much better than have your server offline waiting to replace disk and restore backup.

And no way you can backup 18tb in 1tb, restic or no restic.

I mean, why on earth use a windows VM??? Use a very simple Linux one without any GUI just install sane+ScanservJS and you are in business. Zero overhead.

I don’t get you.

The scanner does not support scan to folder. Ok, so there is no other option than using another device to scan for you. Scanservjs fix that for you. Run it in a container of you don’t want it on bare metal, its light and doesn’t require resources unless you scan.

Sane is just Linux scanner engine, any Linux distro can install it easily.

“Munin is actively maintained” from website. Last stable release was in 2021.

Guess its not anymore…

I selfhost ScanservJS, uses sane under the hood and provides a nice web URL for scans. You can store the scans on a network or shared folder for paperless NGX.

I just wish something similar existed for printing as well…

Got an amazon firestick pro 4k. Have just a 1080p TV, but the pro4k hardware is just better than the other models.

Fully satisfied. Works beautiful with Jelly fin TV app.

Has amazon advertising tough, so YMMV.
