🏠 Self-hosting FTW!
Just got FreshRSS up and running in Docker, all accessible securely over my Tailnet.
Full tutorial live now. Code on GitHub: github.com/ericmann/freshrss-tailnet
I am running #PhotoPrism on a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB of RAM, using a 1TB SSD as the main and only drive, using the Pimoroni NVMe Base.
So far, I could not properly measure the performance, because I don’t know how to do it, but I am satisfied! Yet, this is definitely not a future-proof solution, since I need way more storage: I still haven’t imported most of my pictures there, and I need to prepare for plenty more to come.
The simplest (yet quite pricey, 261£) option would be to get a Pimoroni NVMe Duo and maximize it with a total of 4TB NVMe SSDs.
I think this is not optimal, though, and probably I could be spending all that money much better… Do you have any advice?
The thing about hosting a personal media gallery is that it requires a lot of resources when indexing the pictures (so only when you add new ones), then it’s super light—correct me if I am wrong, @photoprism. Hence, I’m thinking the best would be an extensible solution where I can add many HDDs and SSDs, without being forced to pump up the other specs too. I would probably be using just one NVMe SSD for the software and the database, and then save everything else in high-performance HDDs, since they are getting cheap and I can get much more storage with less money—of course I am performing a daily backup off-site, as they are more likely to fail, too.
If I am 100% sure that whatever I end up choosing will be solid for many years to come, I am willing to consider spending a bit more on it.

Estaba pensando en empezar a comprarme los componentes para montarme un home server destinado a un almacenamiento algo más serio que el que tengo actualmente montado con un mini-pc y un disco USB.
El caso es que por falta de tiempo y porque hace ya 10 años que monté mi último PC no estoy nada al día de como se mueve el mundo del HW casero y me gustaría pedir opinion a terceros.
De momento lo que he visto se va a parecer bastante a esto de aqui:

Obviad la caja porque ya he visto otra Micro-ATX en otro sitio que me gusta más.
La idea es montar algo que me sirva almacenar, pero tambien para descargas (torrent, Sonarr, Radarr...) y emisión mediante Jellyfin. No quiero comprarme un NAS porque creo que eso limita mis posibilidades. Tampoco quiero venirme arriba y dejarme 1000€ solo en lo básico.
La placa creo que es más que suficiente para poder montarme un servidor con 4x discos SATA/SAS y el procesador seleccionado (i3 14100 3,5/4.7 GHz). En cuanto a memoria, creo que con 16GB voy sobrado. Faltan los discos y la fuente de alimentación, obviamente.
¿Qué opináis? ¿Alguien con experiencia que pueda echarme una mano y tenga ganas?
¡Gracias!
selfh.st/icons - a curated collection of 4,400+ icons - now supports custom colors (bring your own)! I've developed a (self-hostable) lightweight proxy server that can intercept icon requests and apply custom colors based on a hex color code in the URL parameters.
Check out the post below for more details and be gentle as this is my first public #development project...ever.
