Yeah, that’s not going to work. You’ll have to at least rank your requirements. Is size more important, or is it the number of RAM slots? Also, what is “enough CPU/Ram”?
Also also, “unlimited” will only get you unrealistic things like the 10k+ PCI-E SSDs.
Spamming that again?
It grew from a nice Owncloud fork into a do-it-all groupware solution by adding on more and more things without really improving the basis. Each version the performance gets a little worse, syncing gets stuck more often, etc.
Opencloud looks or at least looked good as it started out as an Owncloud Infinite Scale fork, but of course they’re adding on more and more groupware stuff without improving the core first. Maybe we’re doomed to witness the same cycle with each solution, who knows.
Currently working on moving the more family-relevant services to OIDC-based login via Pocket ID passkeys so I can put my parents on them.
Also, still on the lookout for a good Nextcloud replacement. Even Opencloud displays the first signs of feature creep.
Nothing besides a mirror makes sense with only 2 storage bays. The overhead would only increase for absolutely no gain.
Your only choice would be a mirror, as you only have two bays. RAIDZ2 needs at least 4 drives to be useful.
Have you checked that you can actually run a different OS on the UGREEN NAS?
Considering the services you want to run on the machine you’ll want all the RAM you can get.
Also, the CPU is already weak by today’s standard, especially with “heavier” workloads like Immich machine learning.
XMPP? Matrix?
That’s cute, but very much a bubble view. Usually not worth the effort unless the devs themselves are users.
Why do I need a messaging system in the first place?
You might not need one, but the majority of users want and/or need one for user management, password reset, notifications etc.
And it is being developed for the majority of users.
Do you know of any other near-universal messaging system to use instead?
Edit: also, the downsides you mentioned depend really hard on the email service you choose to use, or choose to host yourself.
self-hosting
and people who want it to work with minimal friction.
We’re talking (potentially) highly sensitive contents here for the most part. Yes, selfhosting has become easier than ever, but at the same time more people who basically lack the experience and/or patience to actually understand what they’re doing want to start selfhosting. And that simply doesn’t end well in an alarmingly high number of cases.
Yeah sure, of course there are tools that can make life easier. But have a look at the “big” self-hosting packages. A lot of them will need at least some manual configuration. Then there’s the “exposing a host to the open net” aspect, which can (and usually will) introduce a whole different level of attack surfaces.
So combine that with the ever-growing number of self-hosters, and of course you will notice more advice like that.
Nextcloud (later Opencloud) and Immich as primary data sources, backup to:
This worked and works well for me.
Especially older models from the second hand market can get tricky, as getting supported drives will be harder each year. Also, you cannot simply put 18TB drives in there and expect them to work. Also also, a lot of them require SAS drives.
The 1070 is probably a waste of power.
IF you’re going the secondhand enterprise gear route, check which drives you can actually use in them. The Dell will likely only take a dozen or so drive models, sometimes locked down to Dell-flashed firmwares. And those can be expensive.
You know how many server apps will ask for an email address?
Heck even immich asked for an email address! WTF! Ask me for my mastodon or my Lemmy address!
Most people have one or more email addresses (the OG federated messaging system) and email notifications pretty much “just work”. Compared to email usage, Fediverse users are a rounding error.
Post screenshots of what you’re seeing on your system.
Wahrscheinlich reden wir aneinander vorbei.
Ah, apparently I misread, I thought Immich was running on the same Pi.
You could try another browser, but you’ll still have to check other possible sources. RAM usage, system log, etc.
randomly the pi will just be on the home screen instead of full screen chromium.
Sounds a bit like the system running out of RAM and killing off Chromium.
Do you have room for a HDD? Power budget, monetary budget, SATA ports?
The good thing is that a mechanical HDD is still loads faster than needed for serving media, unless you’re hitting massive user numbers, so there’s usually no need to put media on expensive SSDs.
Should not be necessary. Define your Zigbee2mqtt server and it should pick them up automatically.
Setting - devices and services - add integration - MQTT
Zigbee2MQTT only takes care of the devices themselves. The HA MQTT integration pulls those devices in so you can use them in HA. Should look like this
Immich has a “storage templates” section which allows you to choose a folder structure that it will use to store the files in.
Or go the other way and include your folders as external libraries.
