So I’m setting up a home server for personal purposes, among which, storing personal documents/files… accumulated over the years is now my next target. I’ve already had:
- Nextcloud to upload/sync files from my mobile devices
- Calibre to manage ebooks, magazines
- Jellyfin to manage multimedia files, including photos
I’m looking for a solution to upload/manage documents. Could be my Ids, could be my rental contract, or recovery passphrases for my accounts, etc.
There are a lot that can be found from here:
But I’d love to get real experience and advice. Something that can run with docker and maybe, probably integrate nicely with the rest of the above stuff.
Jellyfin for photos? But why? You have nextcloud that does it better, and you can have immich that does it even better.
Whats the appeal of Jellyfin for this purpose? Like you won’t ever sync, it’s just photos stored somewhere for people to see?
Yeah, jellyfin is more on the consuming side of the stacks. I have NextCloud that does most of the uploading/synching business, getting photos from my phones or tablets or laptop; qbittorrent for taking movies around and put in on the disk, etc.
Eventually all those data would be on a directory on the computer disk and that’s where the consuming side starts.
It really does not have to be Jellyfin that does the photos job, but it’s already there for music and movies and photo display seems decent. Of course I’m still experimenting (atm trying also Photoprism) so if there’s a better option, please feel free to recommend.
