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.

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

• 2002-06-23 Mum’s birthday party
  — 2002-06-23 Mum’s birthday party-0001.TIF

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.

skittlebrau , 23 days ago (edited 23 days ago) to Selfhosted in Immich public roadmap

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.

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.

Another thing to add - these services can’t use the word ‘buy’ because that implies ownership. They should be forced to use a word like ‘rent’.

Unless I’m missing something, you can’t have multiple user profiles.

I use Infuse on my Apple TV with Plex Media Server as the backend. I can work with that limitation on Apple TV because my wife and kids use the official Plex app while I use Infuse, but ideally I’d prefer if we all used Infuse.

Jellyfin server isn’t lacking, but the weak point is definitely client software, especially on iOS. Unfortunately they just don’t have the same kind of resources Plex do in that regard.

I run Plex and Jellyfin, with watched status between the two synchronised with jellyplex-watched.

skittlebrau , 2 months ago to Selfhosted in Finally got my server to work properly. (Routing with custom local domain instead of ports)

You could use split DNS on your router (or wherever your DNS is) so that when you visit the syncthing address on your local network, you’re being directed to traefik.

I use a domain override in pfsense for syncthing.myhomelab.com which points to my reverse proxy’s local IP.

I put it in quote marks. Obviously I’m not actually forced to use it, but my entire family uses it and it’s the dominant messaging platform in Indonesia - to the point where people get annoyed with you if you send regular SMS or just end up replying to you on WhatsApp. A lot of businesses large and small also exclusively use it, so you’re causing yourself a lot of annoyance if you actively avoid WhatsApp. It’s a crap situation, but it’s reality in some countries.
