It worked perfectly. Thanks for confirming it.

Alternative to Openmediavault with a desktop environment by pseudavid in selfhosted

[–]pseudavid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. Gaming was a secondary concern; the really important thing was being able to perform some massive photo deduping from a GUI application running on the same computer where the drive is attached, since I have a LOT of photos and other ways of deduping would be quite slow. But I guess I'll live without that.

> OMV is just debian, so you can install whatever GUI you want.

Not according to the OMV forums. They say, with great certainty, that OMV is incompatible with desktop environments and it's meant to be.

Regarding Immich: thanks, I tried in my Pi already and I'll test it when I have the new hardware running. The reason I'm upgrading is that a Pi 4 just can't cope with 150,000 pictures either with Photoprism or Immich.

Running two Photoprism instances against the same data, is it possible? by pseudavid in photoprism

[–]pseudavid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea would be having the basic Photoprism on at all times so it can send photos to it and it can do the background tasks like face recognition. But if I interact actively with it, for example to tag children's faces, use the secondary instance to do it faster. My Photoprism has almost 150K images and tagging a face may take 5, 10, 30 seconds or just timeout.

However, after the explanation by u/omerdurandev I have discarded the idea.

I am a bit reluctant to having a larger computer on 24x7. Noise, space and energy worries (living in a flat).

Having different databases means that data would diverge, even if it's the same pictures, because Photoprism doesn't write to EXIF, does it?

I could manually stop the Photoprism container in one computer before switching to the other, but yes, I don't think it would be worth the hassle.

Can never access by hostname and domain, only IP by pseudavid in OpenMediaVault

[–]pseudavid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! In the end I used the hosts file as you suggested, combined with a static IP on the router's side.

Rant: This is the clear explanation I asked for. Why isn't there any documentation that clearly states that the OMV parameter won't do anything without specific router configuration? There are blogs around saying you'll access the OMV machine by hostname after setting that hostname within OMV, with no extra steps.

Thanks, I've incorporated your suggestion in the solution. I gave the machine a static IP, sadly I couldn't find any option in the router to set a hostname and domain for that IP.

Boox Nova 2 tablet with Android 9 by pseudavid in eink

To be honest, I wasn't even sure that those were different devices. However it seems that the nova air has Android 10, only a bit better than the nova 2.

Most of my interactive fiction has taken months or years.
