While TrueNAS is great I found it to be significantly more NAS-oriented than a general “home server”. It’s certainly capable just very into the weeds with permissions, users, groups, etc. It’s not very noob friendly. If you aren’t primarily dealing with a ton of data, you might want to look into something like CasaOS or Homarr which make sharing data on the network very “set it and forget it” and are more focused on apps.
Also recommendations include PiHole, Immich, Qbittorrent, Plex (or Jellyfin) obviously, SyncThing, Duplicati, Home Assistant (although you probably want to run that in a VM) and Tailscale and NGINX proxy manager for accessing outside the house.
lol fair. Whats good for me is more people educated on the benefits of open source!
I actually think users who click ads are probably the ones who most need to learn about the alternatives!
it’s always some people who used some ancient client in 2008 and never bothered to try again.
The biggest hurdle for widespread adoption of open platforms, imo.
“Add-ons” is a separate category of thing, and more substantial than integrations/Lovelace stuff. If you haven’t noticed any missing you’re probably fine. But some popular ones are DuckDNS and Mosquitto Broker.
You can’t restore a backed-up config in docker, also no add-ons.
They are very noisy. Lots of clicking and whirring. Enterprise drives are not the same as consumer drives. As others have said this is a great price but I would not recommend using them in a room you are trying to focus in.
They generate a LOT of noise. Not a dealbreaker for most but something to be aware of for sure.
Very cool!
That’s not been my experience (the opposite actually), but the cool thing about the Fediverse is that it has room for all. Infinite diversity in infinite combinations!
The greenest/cheapest way is to recycle an old laptop. They’re pretty efficient and unless you’re transcribing video anything in the past 10 years will be plenty powerful. Also the built-in battery is great in case of a power outage.
Then, just get one of those multi-disk USB HDD enclosure and pop some drives in.
For an OS, I like CasaOS which runs on top of Debain. It is a single-line install, and makes running docker apps very easy, for the services you mentioned and many others it can be set up entirely using the GUI.
I could never get photogimp to work. Like literally it would appear to install OK but just nothing would happen, Couldn’t figure it out.
Also holy crap Photopea is actually impressive I did not expect it to be that advanced. Thanks for sharing.
Yes absolutely, I just wanted to highlight that that problem has an existing deterrent in place.
That’s what “subscribed” is for, no?
If a server is going so far as to modify their code to better enable harassment, then that is a bad server and should probably be defederated from.
That looks like they’re going for a Slack-like interface which is awesome.
+1 for Debian, also CasaOS is like a single-command setup for docker and other features with a nice GUI.
I don’t disagree, but discoverability is important. On the flipside there are so many times in FOSS world where I’ve actively looked for a tool for months, only to give up and then months later have someone randomly mention it in a thread where I discover it has existed for years.
