NUCs are where to go. Intel chips good for transcoding and 3 year warranty. Had 1 die out of 3 die in 4 months and got a full replacement. Got another so I’m running 4 now and been about a year. Running tons of stuff and measured power to about $2.5/mo/pc.

Ah yeah it sucks to host on your actual computer, especially if you are using the laptop portably. I just wanted to point out storage isn’t too bad if setup right. Best of luck finding a good host for your needs!

Curious here how is storage an issue? Lemmy is 90% text and if you do the proxy for pictures its like 10%. If you use pictures from elsewhere and don’t use pictures it’s all text. I have had lemmy hosted for over a year now and it’s using under 35GB. I have a not that subscribes to top posts on larger instances so I should have a lot of communities loaded.

Edit: oh yeah Pictrs integrates with S3 api now so you can offload image storage to cloud for pennies.

At least one great thing about bitwarden, the passwords are stored on each device, so you kind of already have backups. That being said backups for vaultwarden is still beneficial.

I had a person that hated me in high school and put up a fake profile with a picture taken of me at school. So don’t forget enemies posted!

Requirements for immich

Other notable resources:

Hardware accelerated Machine learning requirements

Hardware accelerated Transcoding for videos

You’ll need a stronger CPU (or maybe multiple since you can run machine learning multiple machines) handle the load if not using a supported discrete GPU. Also for transcoding videos if you want to do that you’ll have to look at compatibility of the CPU with what it can encode/decode and what format you want to store.

That being said , it barely use CPU resources with immich 99% of the time with the exception when media is backing up to it.

The client sets up its transcoding profile (like what it supports for direct play, etc for auto transcoding) or the client has to specifically request a different quality. Findroid has had PRs for the second one and I did one of them updating based off the older PRs.

This is because it doesnt support transcoding. It does direct streams only.

There are forejo runners and they seem compatible with a bunch of github actions. I created one that builds a docker image and publishes it on the repo.

Lidarr to download music, has Spotify playlist integration, only problem is it pulls by alblum not by song.

LMS to play music, it supports selecting tags to use.

Picard to tag the music. Kinda optional, but using plugins it can pull genre, moods, and BPM, which I liked using to make a smart playlist to get songs I like the sound of without 100% hand picking out of thousands.

The only time I use caddy is to serve static files… I then put a nginx proxy in front of it to expose it lol

Honestly I believe it. I had a VP of sales / marketing overriding requirements making them more difficult from the CEO after getting screamed at by the CEO who wanted the product (probono project) to be quick and easy for initial release.

He also ordered IT garbage for a site once (consumer PCs running Windows not server edition)

And to top it all off went behind supervisors backs in engineering departments asking for daily spreadsheets trackong their time because "if you can go to the bathroom you have time for this.

All leadership was toxic though like the CEO screaming at him lol.
