  • Unfortunatly this is not possible for my setup. I have a Asrock J4050 with its soldered cpu. So I need something like a separate device. USB, SBC with lan, anything like that… Because of that, I was happy when i discovered coral. And to be honest: I did not researched deeply. So I am unaware of its limitation to frigate. I wanted to create my own model and run it on coral. The training was planned to be done on another device.

    Now I need to check if a raspi could be sufficent or if anything else comes up.







  • Well my first reply is: setting up yor own router is like to learn driving with a touring car. You just need to know a lot to set up/handle everything properly. Its just not easy and in m opinion the most wrong point to start.

    DNS-wise I would like to recommend something like pihole. To me it was my first thing I installed and used until this day and also the handling of DNS is quite easy. Maybe you should consider lerning other things before setting up your own router.


  • I use Trilium and I like it. The first thing I would like to mention: Trilium is stale and there is Trilium Next the official successor… More or less… If you choose to try, start with the one that is still in development.

    But to be fair, I does not use it as I wanted to. My plan was to use it completly with markdown but I am to dumb or ignorant to do it right. So I simply use the wysiwig style integration to style my texts.

    I will watch a video that shows me how to properly use markdown in there.

    On the other hand, actually I think about switching to some AsciiDoc Notes/Wiki stuff. Simply because I like the way AsciiDoc works…

    And the last to mention: I have no experience with Authelia.




  • You could create a fresh container, install docker, and create a new template image from it. This way the overhead of installing disapears. The overhead in resource usage for each docker installation would remain the same as before.

    As mentioned in another reply, you could run several container in one lxc. For example with docker compose or podman. Since I have no experience with podman but with docker compose, docker compose is pretty simple.

    But all in all, I prefer to install everything “bare metal” in lxc containers. The main reason is, I don’t want to mess around with the extra layer of configurating ports etc.


  • Just to throw another option in: Lxc are containers too. And they are the other major option proxmox comes with.

    It feels more like bare metal installations, but are more lightweight and share there ressources they do not use.

    I never got why having Proxmox and one VM with several docker containers except I absolutly don’t want to deal with installations at all.

    On the other hands I wanted to learn about linux and the basics of handling proxmox.

    I have something to read for you :

    My Request

    It is a request of me from earlier this year. The boards I mention in the opening post are no good choice. But the Asrock J500x or J5040 (the one I picked in the end) are. For my needs it is enough of everything. Even if some users here think the celerons are “heaters that can do math” ^^

    On the other hand, the cpu is soldered to the board. No upgrade without switching the board either… Even the SODIMM ram needs to be replaced when switching away from an itx-board…

    On the other hand, it is less energy consuming than using an old desktop cpu etc.

    The pico-psu is just sweet 😊

    Edit: fixed link



  • At the moment I do exactly that. Learn proxmox, omv, influxDB and tomorrow grafana comes around to play 😉

    Nevertheless proxmox and omv are the difficult ones if you never used a hypervisor before. And my toughest lesson was: software raid is pretty slow. This took quiet some time to realise that this was the problem.

    But it is great to have a hypervisor to play around with, test different things in containers or vms and if you mess things up, just spin up another in a few seconds and try it again. It just feels less impactfull than reinstalling all stuff on one machine.

    And you learn a lot about networks along the way if you aren’t already familliar with it.
