After months of procrastination, today I finally took the time to set up an instance of Panoramax in my homelab. The setup was very smooth. Actually, I had booked the full day for it, and by 12PM the instance was publicly available.

At the moment, I'm not accepting contributions (pictures) since I want to make sure everything is running fine before opening to the public.

Kudos to @panoramax for this amazing project!

@bustikiller @panoramax considering doing the same, does it have a high storage requirement or what did you have to configure to meet the requirements for that?

@strongthany @panoramax it's too early for me to say, but I suspect in my setup the disk will be the first bottleneck to encounter. Last weekend I took 5000+ pictures in ~3h, and that used 16GB of disk space. My multipurpose homelab has just 2TB of total space right now.

I still have to upload them to the server, which will have to store a version with faces and car plates blurred. Not sure if the original picture remains in the server after blurring, or of it's removed.

Still, go for it!

@bustikiller @strongthany With #Panoramax, raw unblurred uploaded pictures are destroyed after blurring by default (GDPR).

2TB of storage allows 300k+ GoPro Max 360° pictures (with their derivates)
