You could probably make it work, but comments could be difficult to include.

Sage advice.
I went through the same thing and eventually reached the conclusion that a VM really is the best method. I did get a working LXC Docker setup going, but I could just not get it to be as stable as a VM long-term.
When did you last use FreshRSS? It now supports creation of custom feeds using XPath scraping. ie. turn a website into a full RSS feed.
That’s good to hear. Looks like something worth revisiting once it’s been tested well.
I would have used Owncloud Infinite Scale but the fact you can’t use your own existing files makes it a complete non-starter for me. I don’t want my files locked behind Decomposed FS.
Unless I’ve read things wrong, which is entirely possible.
Thanks, I’ll give it a go!
I suppose it’ll be easy since my whole stack uses IPv4, so I’ll be simply adding another interface on without service disruptions.
Each year I seem to think “this will be the year I set up IPv6 in my homelab” - but then I never get around to it.
If I have to run both v4 and v6 concurrently, there isn’t much incentive/motivation for me to use v6 locally.
Maybe I’ll get around to it when there’s a net benefit for me for my use case, or when I’m forced to.
Am I just imagining it to be more complicated than it actually is?
My router runs pfsense and I have 6 VLANs each with its own subnet - Management, Trusted, IoT, Cameras, Guest, and Web Facing Servers.
Ah no wonder it’s experimental.
It’ll get there eventually.
Can you view an external library using your own folder structure and not in a timeline display? I was under the impression Immich can’t do that, at least not without manually creating them all as separate albums or by using a script.
Eg.
I have photos from the last 30 years stored in this type of folder structure:
2002
I’m less interested in using it for photo backup since I’d prefer not to use an automated tool since I curate everything in my library so that it stays organised - I’m looking for something for viewing/displaying and sharing.
One feature that I hope that Immich adopts is to allow for external libraries to be displayed in an existing folder structure. There’s no built-in way to do this and requires a script that uses albums as a workaround. A lot of photographers have organised folders by date/event that span years/decades, so it’s not practical to create these manually with albums.
The closest I’ve found is a cron script which does album generation automatically, but it’s not a ‘future proof’ solution since it could stop working at any time.
Memories (Nextcloud), Photoprism, and Photoview can do this.
Ah! Good to know! I haven’t touched my Mac client sync settings in a while so I’ll check this out.
Looks like that feature is still in beta and therefore only available in the beta client. The stable release still uses the .nextcloud extension workaround.
Is that still the case for the Nextcloud macOS client? Because this post from the devs from a few months ago implies that the .nextcloud file extension behaviour is temporary and that they’re meant to be using Apple’s File Provider API, same way that Dropbox and OneDrive do.
Syncthing doesn’t have an ‘files on demand’ feature though. The way that cloud storage providers do it is by having placeholder files which are selectively synced. Resilio Sync can do it, although it does change the file extension for the placeholder files to .rslsync temporarily.
One of my clients referred to Zip disks a few days ago. That really sent me back. Only my rich friends had Jaz drives, whereas the rest of us were still using Zip disks and optical media. Those early USB thumb drives at USB 1.0 speeds were also painfully slow.
My portable storage journey progressed from 5.25” floppy disks, 3.5” diskettes, Zip disk, CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, 2.5”/3.5” external HDDs and now portable NVME SSDs.
I have a Xeon E2416G which is the Xeon equivalent of the Coffee Lake Core i7-8700.
What sort of workloads are we talking about in Proxmox? How important are the chipset features of C246 vs Raptor Lake to you?
This sounds ideal for either Photoprism or Photoview.
Immich can’t do what OP wants. It works great for individual personal libraries, but not images that are pre-sorted into specific folder structures and need to be displayed based on that structure.
My Arc A380 has been great. Intel Quick Sync is so well supported across all platforms.
Arc A310 is also a great option since you can find them in single slot low profile varieties too.
The next release of TrueNAS SCALE in October is dropping Kubernetes in favour of plain Docker/Docker Compose. That may be worth a look?
