For me it’s been about slowly learning, building, and re-building what I have, as I have gotten more knowledgable.

I started with a Windows laptop running 24/7. Learned about Docker Desktop and ran Jellyfin and the *arr stack on it.

I had Linux running on my PC, so as I got more comfortable with CLI, I decided to migrate the server and everything on it to Ubuntu Server. Learned to navigate on SSH better, learned more about networking and expanded the server with more services like Nginx Revers Proxy Manager and exposing services online.

Then I upgraded my hardware and installed Proxmox on the new machine, to better manage that and the old laptop. Slowly getting better at backing up at different levels, heightening security and so on.

Guides are good, but I find experience and steady knowledge building is a better way to grow and not get overwhelmed or burned out.

What’s the hurdle?

Input server, input credentials, no?

4 running nodes for like 5 services? Seems exessive, no?

Can you elaborate on the agents? How do you handle persistant memory, what triggers them? What are they for? ☺️

and afterwards personal shame

Yeah me too. i had (unknowingly) made it necessary for the system to run in fstab, and I had knowingly disconnected it.

But I LOVE copy/pasting complex commands

Why is this even a point of discussion? Immich, period. It’s like people NEED to make it more difficult and laborious than it has to be.

Agree to disagree. When they actively and willingly go for the product that’s screwing them over.

Welcome to JF

Yeah im not gonna use this anime stuff

Yeah, you always hear Mint

Wanna weigh in for whatever it’s worth.

Was super excited when i found Ventoy. Had 2 partitions on the same flash drive, 1 for Ventoy and .isos and one for backing up various files. It was supposed to be the one to rule them all.

When it came to actually using Ventoy to create a new Linux installation, the installation failed and the Ventoy partition became completely corrupted, rendering it unusable and the .isos were gone.

Not sure what happened, but going with Ventoy is not really worth the hassle if I can reliably flash a usb drive that I know will work.

I stream, dirt cheap, as part of a Spotify family plan. €4/month, so I don’t feel like figuring something else out

Brother why are you only talking about this now? It’s very old news at this point
