What i read here is concerning. Non that i was getting into the swing of drocker … :-( Is LXC the future then?

Ok, I hadn’t realised that the helper script installs docker. I thought LXC was an alternative to docker.

Regarding the VM option, I did think of doing just that but read a lot about it using too many resources with frigate and LXC seems to be more efficient option when it comes to resources

OK, I should have been clearer. With “community LXC repository on github” I actually meant that I used the LXC scripts. It did go through a few questions at the start but nothing relating to storage and camera setup.

That is brilliant. Thanks. I haven’t read this all yet looks like what I need.

Immich and Radicale definitely recommended. I’ve still got paperless-ng and plan to move to paperless-ngx as soon as I find the time. I’ve also got firefly-iii which is a big revolution to how I manage personal finance. Even my 17 old son has got into it … He couldn’t understand where all his hard earnings were going.

Looks like I have two options for Proxmox + Frigate:

a) full VM via a QEMU VM that then has Frigate as app container (Frigate website is not recommending this approach from what I understand)

b) Virtual environment (VE) thgrough the “Proxmox Container Toolkit” where Frigate is as a system container (i.e. docker container directly in the Proxmox environment, which eliminates the VM overhead. See here: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#chapter_pct

Looks like someone has got it up and running in the PCT environment https://www.homeautomationguy.io/blog/running-frigate-on-proxmox

Also, I need to get my hands on a Micro desktop with a PCIe slot so that I can stick the Coral unit in it. Any thoughts for cheap solutions on eBay?

I think vTiger community efition is still open source?

Really helpful, thank.

Let me get this straight. Ur saying that on the laptop I have two instances, one for me and one for my wife and they both sync to nas instance. I have syncthing installed via apt on my Debian laptop. How do u get two instances going?

I just find nextcloud bloated for my use case.

I think hoarder must ne similari to wallabag which i use solely for preserving content I like. I use floccus plus WebDAV for bookmarks saving because floccus is avaible for android too. So bookmarks are the same on all my devices. Sounds like linkwarden does both but I can’t find android app which is a killer for me. Waljabag also is available for android where idomost of my reading.

make me shake … brrr

I’m going to try and see is I can get a VM running on the second Truenas server using the replicated dataset. I only use the second machine to duplicate datasets in case the first machine fails and have to rebuild it.

I’ve been asking myself the same question for a while. The container inside a VM is my setup too. It feels like the container in the VM in the OS is a bit of an onion approach which has pros and cons. If u are on low powered hardware, I suspect having too many onion layers just eat up the little resources you have. On the other hand, as Scott@lem.free.as suggests, it easier to run a system, update and generally maintain. It would be good to have other opinion on this. Note that not all those that have a home lab have good powered labs. I’m still using two T110’s (32GB ECC ram) that are now quite dated but are sufficient for my uses. They have Truenas scale installed and one VM running 6 containers. It’s not fast, but its realiable.

Same here but now struggling to keep on top of it. I wish there was a mobile solution that would just nicely integrate with selfhosted

Is there a mobile app that syncs with self hosted?

So are you saying you have it running on a VM with all data stored on NAS?

I have it as a Truenas Scale app. The upgrade brokemiy installation and the rollback didn’t work. Want to move it to a VM with Docker

All these models appear to ne quote old.Oldrer t’ha the R310, R510 and R610?

This thread has reminded me that I have Ruckus APs that mesh. But support had been dropped because they are “old”. Presumably there is no open source solution that I can flsh these with, still allowing me the meshing?

Exactly. I moved to Jellyfin because Emby introduced the life time support thing

I’m not sure what the right model is to get money flowing in. It seems like they took the easy route. 100 dollars for a server licence is not really that small amount considering that most server users are families? I would have preferred massive fund raising campaigns … I’m a bit lazy and need lots of nagging to get my credit card out … But its right these guys get some income for their work. As long as code remains AGPL … I bet soon there will be a fork like happened with Emby. I ended up purchasing the server licence a a few month later moved to the forked version …🙂
