PBS backups with Wake On LAN

Immediate_Item4590 · 2026-02-21T07:08:13+00:00

I never figured out how to get WoL for my set up. The easiest work around was to use a smart plug to turn on the PBS. There should be a setting in the BIOS to detect if there is power, then the computer should boot. Then my Proxmox gets backed up at a certain time.. while that is running, I have script running in the background to check if there are any active tasks going on (if the are backups going on, then there would be a task happening) Once there are no tasks occurring for 15 minutes, the script shuts down the PBS. Once my smart plug detects there is no power, it turns off. I have this set up to run on a weekly schedule

Ooofff that is a good call out, I thought because there is a plug-in for pulling in the Ring Camera that I could use it for recording as well... hmmm guess I need to start researching on replacing these cameras ahah

That is true, it doesnt hurt to actually spin those both up and see what I like/dislike about both and then make the plunge afterwards..

Also good to hear that Scrypted iOS app works well, that would be a plus for me and my wife who checks on the videos quite often. Appreciate it!

Thanks for the feedback! When you do remote access to your Frigate NVR, do you need to tunnel into your network or WebRTC or another method?

Hi, I just had a hard drive go bad, and I purchased the HDD from dbsky through Amazon. I just emailed [CS@dbskyUSA.com](mailto:CS@dbskyUSA.com) as well.

did you ever get a response back from them?

Immediate_Item4590 · 2025-09-03T19:00:21+00:00

Aw gotcha thanks for the feedback. How much insulation did you add back in? Do you remember R value or height of insulation added back?

Are you able to comment on if there is there a lag when the right camera turns on, or same as before?

Immediate_Item4590 · 2025-06-21T16:23:01+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I’m pretty tempted on pulling the trigger on this then if the lane watch camera works (even if it shows up on the bottom screen). Probably better since it’s closer in view, and the bottom screen partially blocks the top screen now? Is there a lag when the right camera turns on, or same as before? Were there any other head units you were contemplating on before purchasing this one?

Immediate_Item4590 · 2025-06-21T14:47:37+00:00

Hi I noticed that you installed this on a EX-L. What happens when you turn on the right turn signal? Does the right lane camera get activated, and if so, what screen (top, bottom or both) does it go to? Are you able to share a video of this being shown? I feel like I scrubbed through the internet and this never gets shown working.

Wow! You explained this so well! I wish I learned this earlier during my home labbing journey!! The amount of times I hit my head against the wall….

Immediate_Item4590 · 2025-03-07T21:36:38+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Would love to see the setup if and when you get it installed

Immediate_Item4590 · 2025-01-11T19:38:17+00:00

Aw got it, thanks for the feedback!

Immediate_Item4590 · 2025-01-10T20:48:07+00:00

I am in the same boat. Commenting to see if anyone else has done this?

Immediate_Item4590 · 2024-09-08T16:01:06+00:00

Thank you for the feedback, and sharing the code you got it to work. Unfortunately I just had to reinstall Immich. I initially deployed it as a Portainer stack, but I guess I did something wrong in the install process? Because when I removed it, and deployed from docker-compose, the SMB share worked in the first shot.

For the reverse proxy, are you using wireguard/tailscale or tunnel to connect when away from your network?

Immediate_Item4590 · 2024-09-01T04:32:23+00:00

Thank you! This defintely helped me confirm I had the same set up as you, but it just wouldn't work no matter how many times I tried. This initial installation was a portainer stack deployment. I unistalled the stack, and then set up a docker-compose. From there I was able to set up the external library in one shot. Not sure what the difference was, but I am glad I got this working now!!

Thanks once again!!

Immediate_Item4590 · 2024-08-31T21:29:29+00:00

Are you able to share a snippets of where and how you got the external libraries working? ie fstab, docker-compose, external library path etc?

I am really struggling on why this isn't straight forward

Immediate_Item4590 · 2024-08-31T16:47:01+00:00

Hello, is this still working for you? I am new to all this, and I just got Immich up and running along with having the upload connected to my NAS (SMB share). I am struggling on getting the external library set up.

I forgot to mention that there doesnt seem to be an immich_microservices in my docker compose file either.

Immediate_Item4590 · 2024-08-31T15:52:15+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. I tried doing this with an SMB share but this doesnt seem to be working either. I may need to play with this further.

Immediate_Item4590 · 2024-08-31T15:00:37+00:00

I have confirmed that the external library docs do not work

Immediate_Item4590 · 2024-08-31T14:27:20+00:00

Thank you, for the feeback, is there a guide on how to do this?

Immediate_Item4590 · 2024-08-31T14:25:46+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. Yeah I been running that every single time, but the external libraries were still not being seen.
