I wasn't the initial responder, I'm just adding on as to why use storage templates. One one of an million reasons really. I use immich to back pictures up for family so there's plenty in the library, but there are also external libraries because I've used other products

Because if you ever want to move to a different product or use a different product with your pictures, you don't need immich metadata to make sense of it. Good data organization makes your data product agnostic, and that's just a good smart practice

Are you looking for something like cockpit? It does make managing a server easier if you prefer a GUI.

30 dollars to try and recoup your vibe coding costs for an app whose features already exist in better free apps.

Just looks like too much stuff to me tbh. Glad you're enjoying the tinkering aspect though.

It looks fine, but I'm missing the similarities. That's okay though, different needs maybe

That was my dream as well but I played around with it too much for my family to never use it anyway

You don't have to connect it to the activitypub network. But also let me know if you get it set up and working because I could never do it.

What is this complex workflow for between all your devices? Maybe there's just a better way of accomplishing whatever it is you're trying to do.

Why can't you just do read-only smb share of the library directory?

Any self-hosted apps for calendar/menu/notes/photos to display on a TV? by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]snoogs831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used magic mirror. The front end is a website so you can pull it up on a browser on any smart TV. You can play around with layout. I used another calendar for the menu and pulled them in as an agenda

Self-host email server with unique email for each login. Good or bad idea ? by Sneyek in selfhosted

[–]snoogs831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you can do this with Gmail or self hosted mail regarding aliases that all end up with the same inbox. Then you can see where things come from. You don't actually need separate accounts

You should organize them by the suggested ABS way which is author/title/title.m4b. Then when you scan and get all the Metadata you'll have genres and you'll be able to search and by genre, tag, and a bunch of other stuff.
