What is DoH?

I had no idea that Teksavvy passed these along. I thought they took a stance to ignore these.

I use a Radxa Rock 5B running an Android TV ROM. Sits in a 3D printed case and has a silent little Noctua fan keeping it cool. Could be better - the ROM has a little jank to it - but it has taken everything I’ve thrown at it so far.

Looks very nice. Also looks very pricey.

Oh man. Of all the self-hosted projects to not grasp, you picked the darling.

The creator of Immich had the same use case that got me in to self hosting:

1. A new family with child.
2. A whole lot of photos and video to share between the spouse and with extended family.
3. Ballooning Google (One) photos costs, to which I asked: am I going to pay this forever? Storage also caps out at 2 tb, which we are using more than.
4. A growing discontent with the idea of every family moment being harvested by a tech company I do not like.

At the core - Immich allows me a continuity of service and saves money while keeping spousal approval at the required levels.

Ugh, knife to my heart

I’m getting this set up at my parents’. Just gotta remind them not to touch the box!

If it crosses your mind once it’s all hooked up :⁠-⁠)

Thanks for the reply! I have a couple USB 3.0 2-drive docks that just sit out in the open - consolidating in to a single, enclosed unit with a fan would be nice (since mine or open, you really hear the HD spin up/click when accessing it).

What do you use to adjust your drives’ spin down? hdparm? hd-idle? I have one drive that is constantly spinning/accessed so the thermal concerns with the unit do weigh on me.

Reviews on that page are kind of dodgy, but they are for all 3 products listed which makes it difficult to tell which review is for what.

Have you had any of the listed issues? Heat, unrecognized success, etc?

Yeah I’m really curious where the difficulty lies. Nextcloud was one of the earliest, if not the first, services that I deployed on a server when learning about Linux/Docker from scratch. The evolution of my setup has mostly been through my better understanding of container management practices than through anything Nextcloud specific.

My only Nextcloud specific issue has to do with the implementation of a reverse proxy (NPM) breaking the ability for my Nextcloud and OnlyOffice containers ability to connect - and I’ve not been so fixed about it that I haven’t really sat down trying to figure a fix.

I use it. It meets all my needs and doesn’t have and bugs/issues that I’ve encountered. What more are you hoping from it?

Perhaps this fits the bill? Requires a Home Assistant instance.

If this is mostly for Obsidian, use the community plugin and a self hosted CouchDB.

I’ve found it quite good.

I’m happy for them. Immich, along with Nextcloud, was the driving force behind my getting in to self hosting - getting away from the ridiculous and increasing subscription prices associated with keeping family photos and documents.

It has come an incredibly long way in the time I’ve been using it. I’ve kicked them a donation or two, a first for me with OSS, because it continued to provide so much value for me.

I had read earlier that Alex was hoping to transition to working on this full time and I am happy he has been able to see that realized in - what appears to be - a positive manner.

Mp3tag and hours of fixing metadata used to be me, and then I just kind of… Ran out of time for that.
