Sweet. Never heard of this before. Thanks. I’ll take it for a spin over the weekend.

Are you hosting in ProxMox too?
Yes, I tried Immich but it’s basically a second job, no thanks. Photoprism is very good, but would need something like Syncthing to auto upload. So I ended up going with Libre Photo. It’s nowhere near as powerful as Immich in terms of features, but for my over 500K photos and almost 50K videos, works like a charm in ProxMox with the “UhuruPhotos” Android app.
I would get a cheap MinisForum/Beelink mini-pc with an i5 and install Yunohost, or Casaos, or Cosmos or something like that, really easy to install, use and maintain.
To access the PC, just add a Wireguard server to your mini-pc server, set wireguard client on the PC, AND and you’re ready.
I got this one for around US$360 and added a SATA 4TB SSD to it, running all my services out of it and have yet to see it hit 50W.

Wise suggestion, really.
I believe that most self holsters actually are more hobbyist lifestyle than people with actual tech background.
I read and research a whole lot, which has taken me down this rabbit hole.
Maybe not 100% in the subject, but I just deployed a Wazuh instance to let me know how any of my hosts, containers and computers may have vulnerabilities. I found a crap load of holes in my services, and I’m halfway through squashing all of them.
If this is a hobby, that’s sure to keep you entertained for quite some time.
The cheapest way I found was getting some TP-Link Tapo cameras that have RTSP and Onvif, and run them under frigate.
Set them up in the app, cloud and all, then add them to your frigate, now block internet for them.
Those cameras are anywhere from 25 to around 50 dollars each. Best bang for the buck I could find.
All my local services follow the same rules as any other service. I have no idea what the passwords are, they are all random and long as fuck in my password manager. 2FA with a hardware key where allowed, TOTP if not.
What possible reason would anyone have to “relax” or security on local services? That would mean having 2 streamlines which only adds friction.
I strongly suggest you move all your credentials out of your browsers and into a password manager.
Same solution as with the baby. Sorry, gotta go hide from my wife before she reads this. I kind of like breathing.
Depends on the color of the dog.
Change the baby for a dog. You’re welcome.
I scheduled them before you, so I’ll let you know once they’re done here (maybe).
While some of the configuratios may differ, what I do is have the tunnep on my UnRaid server and proxy manage the CNAM to my PFSense.
You could do the same with a Raspberry as well.
I just have my kids, wife, close friends and in-laws on SimpleX.
Sure, some of them use mainstream stuff as well, but if they want to reach me, that’s their only option.
Matrix is a pretty good choice for self-hosted. The reason I don’t do it is because I’ve become lazy lately.
This is great advice. Thank you.
If by “average” you mean someone with little to no technical background AND not willing to make too much of an effort, it’s still super easy by getting something like a Synology or QNAP NAS.
Indeed. That’s how I populated my NAS with 3 10TB drives and saved around 120 dollars total, and this was 4 years ago.
These are the ones I got: https://a.co/d/8x58jBY
The only extra thing was disabling the 3v pin, and that was it. Been running rock solid all this time.
Just make sure to research what disks are in the external housings you’re planning on getting, as not all drives need to have pins removed/covered.
I usually create 1 LXC and install docker to it to use it as a template for any other LXC in the future. So, docker on a Debian LXC is how I did it. ProxMox in on bare metal though.
