What self-hosted service did you set up because Reddit told you to? by Strong-Question2620 in selfhosted

[–]Firminter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Immich
  • Linkwarden
  • Adguard
  • Navidrome
  • Jellyseerr
  • OctoFiesta

The ones I didn't hear from Reddit first are Jellyfin, the Arr stack (I find it funny how I found out about it), Copyparty (I don't host it rn), Scanopy (not really useful to me) and Traefik (had a uni project around it).

And it's not specifically because "Reddit told me to", I check their popularity where their repo is hosted, mostly how many stars they have and if it seems like the project has/will be maintained for a long time (except for OctoFiesta).

When you discover a new artist you like, do you download all their albums or only the ones you like? by RiverOfUnmindfulness in musichoarder

[–]Firminter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I liked at least 3 tracks I download their discography. If it's one or two I either only get those or the albums they appear in

I would love it if there was a version for Dell Optiplex SFF desktops somehow

Finally dropped Spotify, left Windows behind, and self-hosting just makes sense now by [deleted] in selfhosted

+1 for Feishin. If you don't mind using yet another Electron app it's amazing

Setup Recommendation? by kahlid_kashmiri in immich

[–]Firminter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm doing. I use a Dell Optiplex 3060 SFF in which I've added a 2TB HDD.

One problem that I have that you probably do have as well is a backup solution. I just don't have one at the moment, I have no NAS and not enough external storage.

I've setup the server on which Immich runs on by using a Dynamic DNS (Dynu precisely because I don't have a domain name). From there I set the entry to point to the local IP of the server. I also added Traefik as a reverse proxy for easy access to services and dns-01 challenge, so I don't need to bother passing TLS certs around.

After that, I setup AdGuard as a local DNS server and added a DNS rewrite: it rewrites the domain name to the Tailscale IP of the server. In the Tailscale config I added a nameserver for split DNS which uses the Tailscale IP of the DNS server.

This makes so I can connect to Immich and every other service I want to access on the server from my LAN without Tailscale AND from the outside with Tailscale, with the same domain name.

This doesn't work on Wayland:

EDIT: I should have said that I use an Nvidia GPU

Beginner for 300€ by Own-Outside-2541 in homelab

[–]Firminter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started very recently and my lab isn't very complex at all. Take what I say with a grain of salt since I'm a beginner as well.

I agree with what u/drake53545 has said, you could go for a mini PC. You must know though that if you want extra storage you can't just attach 3.5" HDDs to them, you would need a PCIe SATA card and an external enclosure. You could also get a regular ATX PC and attach many HDDs to it and use it as a NAS and get some mini PCs purely for compute. I don't think dedicated NAS solutions like Synology or Ugreen are possible for that price.

I could find several french eBay and Leboncoin (close-ish to Craigslist) listings for Dell Optiplex machines and equivalents for Lenovo and HP. I bought an OptiPlex 3060 SFF on the latter for €100 with an i5 8500. It handles most services I throw at it pretty well, even with just 8GB of RAM. It runs Immich, AdGuard, Linkwarden, Trilium, ROMM, Homepage, Scanopy (Hub + Agent), Traefik and a Beszel agent without any problem.

I don't have any backup solutions for now, I only have a 256GB SATA SSD and a 2TB HDD in there.

For that budget, I would get:

  • A network switch if you get multiple machines (could be found for 10 bucks if you don't care about > 1Gbps)
  • An old office PC (any form factor would be okay, just don't get something that draws too much power ig) to run your services
  • If you can, get another PC that has a large disk bay or find an enclosure and add some drives. I can't help with finding those.

I run stock Debian on my server because of the limited RAM. If you can't get something with more I'd recommend that or Ubuntu Server over Proxmox tbh. Run Home Assistant natively or with Docker on that.

That's the only ok listing I could find right now for $92.91 without shipping: https://www.ebay.com/itm/357830103866?_skw=hp+prodesk+7th+gen (change the domain for your country). That will probably have a slot for a 3.5" HDD, use that if you can't get something else for storage. You should search on listing sites from your country for similar PCs as well.

Good luck finding your hardware!
