Namesilo, cheap and never had issues

No love for kubernetes?

Can be ott yeah. I set mine up to understand how it all works and just kept things going.

I'd like to point out this is a hot take.

Enterprise infrastructure has been moving to containers for years because of scale and redundancy. Spinning up new VMs for every app failover is bloat and wasteful if it is able to be put in a container.

To really use them well, like everything in IT, understanding the underlying tech can be essential.

What are you even claiming? Billing is the same ease VM or container.

Cgroups became a thing in 2004 and then Google and Amazon started container offerings in 2008.

And you don't even need docker there are plenty of alternative engines.

Immich-go is stupid easy.

Just dump all your takeout zips in the same folder as immich-go and run the import. Lmk if you need help.

It ingested 60+ zips with 100gb of photos when I used it.

Unifi out of the box settings.

Starting from zero

I'm interested in exploring the world of self hosting, but most of the information that I find is incredibly detailed and specific, such as what type of CPU performs better, etc. What I'm really looking for is an extremely basic square 1 guide. I know basically nothing about networking, I don't really know any coding, but it...

Honestly, if you want small and cheap get a raspberry pi to play around or rent a VM.

If you care about storage too you can get a Synology NAS (pricy) which is pretty newbie proof and comes out of the box with different and photo sync along with support for VMs or docker.

I'd use pairdrop over this so I don't need to install it on all my devices.

Another reason to use Firefox?

LineageOS on the Shield? Any drawbacks?

How should I host Handbrake?

I'm currently using Handbrake on a windows 11 installation of a desktop computer. I am planning on turning this desktop computer into a NAS and media server to replace my current raspberry pi 4 system. Handbrake works great on this computer, but I was wondering how I could use Handbrake on this system after I convert it into a...

You can run tdarr which is automated transcoding.

Tail scale is stupid easy to set up and free for first ten 100 devices and supports 3 custom domains.

AustralianSimon , (edited )
@AustralianSimon@lemmy.world avatar

Tail scale can be self hosted also. But for example, it took me 5 clicks to set up a tail scale network with 3 devices.

Also it's apparently been buffed to 100 devices for free and 3 custom domains.

Also open source https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale

[Fixed] Jellyfin video stutters on some files (all MKV it seems)

Hello fellow selfhosters! I reformatted my USB hard drive from exFAT to XFS because I needed a filesystem that could handle hardlinks. I remounted the hard drive and now jellyfin webUI has a severe stuttering problem on some videos, all of them are MKV but it may be a coincidence. On android (using exoplayer) the same files...

I had the same issue, I used tdarr to re encode to h264 mp4

AustralianSimon ,
@AustralianSimon@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah it's a great little set and forget kinda deal.

AustralianSimon ,
@AustralianSimon@lemmy.world avatar

It can but it's the server hardware that decides your performance, you can just avoid transcoder on the fly and have h264 mp4 and can run JF on a toaster smoothly.

Looks interesting. How does it compare to portainer stacks?

AustralianSimon ,
@AustralianSimon@lemmy.world avatar

Might give it a look, the UI for portainer is frustrating but I mostly use the stacks.

Alternative github frontends?

Github has become more bloated, slower and more user-hostile with each update (just like all other big corp platforms). SPA navigation slow like hell, the "new" file viewer/browser is hardly usable in my opinion, code search does not work without login, etc. So are there any good alternative FE where the following work (read...

Codeberg is great
