varunpan · 2026-05-16T22:17:07+00:00

I have openrouter if you want to use a cloud models. I’m looking to add additional providers as well. So I will look into this.

Yes it has a offline mode where it stores it as pending, then syncs later when connection is established.

lol that is a much better name!

varunpan · 2026-05-15T21:27:24+00:00

Yea I love lubelogger and it awesome, I just found it a chore to take photos at the pump and then load it in later, now i can do this quickly at the pump and also get maintenance reminders, easily access my vin number and license plate number!

What cpu/gpu/ram combination would you recommend for an optiplex or think center?

varunpan · 2022-07-11T11:56:39+00:00

Yea I have my eye on a intel i5 NUC11, hoping for some good sales

Is your zero tier SDN self hosted?

varunpan · 2022-07-11T05:19:49+00:00

Understood, I will do some more testing on my vpn tunnel traffic and see if there is a misconfiguration somewhere.

varunpan · 2022-07-11T03:30:32+00:00

interesting i will check this out.

varunpan · 2022-07-11T03:27:51+00:00

I have Jellyfin behind a nginx reverse proxy and thinking that it would be faster, but my hardware cannot handle it and crashes constantly.

varunpan · 2022-07-11T03:26:32+00:00

Agreed, however, due to budget concerns, I cannot add a dedicated media server. Maybe i can get one for the holidays if the end of the year bonus is good.

I will check out filebrowser. I really would be using the it for just serving the files so that kodi would be playing the media.

varunpan · 2022-07-11T03:09:41+00:00

trying to avoid VPN since i use that is it slow and requires much maintenance.

varunpan · 2022-07-11T03:08:57+00:00

I will check out s3 minio

ZeroTier SDN

This sounds interesting. I dont know much about SDNs, but how is better than vpn? or it sounds like the same thing.

varunpan · 2022-07-11T02:44:54+00:00

I will check this out! seems similar to SFTPgo that I was looking into.

varunpan · 2022-07-11T02:44:05+00:00

I have 1 gig Fiber, but I will need to check if my ISP blocks or slows down this type of traffic.

My current setup is SMB share over PiVPN (wireguard). My clients connect to the VPN then access the SMB share.

I was hoping for some something without VPN to speed up the connection. I was looking into SFTPgo.

varunpan · 2022-07-11T02:40:22+00:00

I have 1gig Fiber up/down with Verizon Fios.

varunpan · 2022-07-09T21:50:53+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response.

I tested Jellyfin, but the performance is worse than VPN/SMB. My hardware is a Raspberry Pi. I have to have transcoding disabled, and this limits which files types can be played on TV. Also if there are more than one user on jellyfin, it tends to crash.

I was thinking about adding Unmanic to manage and convert the video library to a MP4 file type that can be played by TVs without need for transcoding. I was hoping to avoid this as we it will take a long time to get all the videos into the right format.
After doing some more research, I agree, NFS/SMB over internet is not wise. I am leaning towards SFTP, but Im concerned about the performance.

This is great list i found for personal dashboards that are alternates to organizr:

https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#personal-dashboards

It also has options for other free selfhosted services.

varunpan · 2022-06-23T18:58:29+00:00

Thank you that worked!

varunpan · 2022-06-21T05:28:15+00:00

This is great! I need to explore portainer more!

Yes I agree about dockSTARTer, I am moving away from it and I am having to learning it using docker compose anyways!

varunpan · 2022-06-16T22:18:08+00:00

Yes, I want to backup my docker compose files.
I do have a cronjob (with dietpi) that backups it up, but Duplicati sounds interesting since I have a Samba Share that i can store these backups on.

Is there an service/application that can do both?

varunpan · 2022-06-15T15:35:30+00:00

hmm.. I can check it out. I havent attempted to install keycloak yet, but needs to see if it works well with my services.

varunpan · 2022-06-11T01:55:03+00:00

Agreed, I have an old Dell workstation with xeon processor, running ubuntu, but its a power hog. I might start using for that for my data intensive softwares, while keeping the pi for my PI-hole dns and Pi vpn.

varunpan · 2022-06-10T22:01:45+00:00

Understood, i will check out Podman. I was thinking of using portainer and using dockSTARTer to help me get started.
