I’ve set up tailscale in the past week and fallen in love with the ease of use. So, this has my vote too. But, if i was doing this, i would chop the file into, say, 500mb parts using 7z or WinZip and then transfer it through SCP (WinSCP if using windows) over tailscale IPs.

Thank you! I’ll look into it.

Your point is valid. I’ll use the learnings from this thread for other, robust, services first and keep an eye on the progress of immich in terms of security.

Thank you, I’ll work it out based on what you’ve told me.

Thanks, I’ll figure the best way out based on the responses.

And lol, I did not know about goDaddy being this bad since this was the first time I purchased a domain. Is it possible to move domains from one provider to another or do I have to wait for it to expire and then register on the other provider?

I read about funnel and it is really cool. But it seems to only expose the services through a *.ts.net type of URL. What I want is to use the domain that I’ve acquired.

I have used reverse proxy in office setup where my local IP was NATed to a dedicated public IP. But in my home lab, I don’t have a dedicated public IP. So, i need to figure a way around that.

For now only Immich, but on a sub domain like I said in the PS. And yes, immich is installed using docker.

ViMusic has not been updated in quite some time. RiMusic is actively being developed.

I cannot complain about this. I grew up in a small settlement and while my parents encouraged my scientific temperament, we were too poor to travel anywhere just to see an eclipse. One of the best celestial show comes around and my town is right in the middle of 22km wide line of totality and we got 45 glorious seconds of darkness. Those 45 seconds cemented my love for space.

I would like to replicate your setup in the future. How do you connect between the two machines, using tailscale or something like that?

Reminds me of “The Gods Must be Crazy” where the tribe uses coke bottle for umpteen things because that’s the hardest thing they can find, besides having other properties like smoothness.

Does portainer, and docker in turn, allow taking/accessing something like point in time snapshots of containers like VM software do? They make it easy to tinker with stuff, knowing that if I mess up, I can go back to a snapshot and be good again.

I don’t have anything to offer but I have a question since I’m on a similar quest. I’m also a n00b when it comes to Docker even though I have best intentions to learn it eventually. In the coming days I want to set up a similar server for photos backup and I was hoping to go with Immich too.

I have heard that Immich occasionally provides updates that are breaking in nature. How does Tipi handle it in such circumstances?

I think it is more important that you cared for them enough to try. Most people don’t even give it a shot. In an ideal world we would have enough time to learn to play, at least for self satisfaction.

Among the few instruments I have, I feel most proud about assembling what is called Jaltarang. I’ve been able to get a full octave plus half on each side which enables me to play few tunes. I suck hard at it too but just the act of setting it up and getting it in tune is satisfying on its own.

If you are curious about how it sounds when played by someone good at it, watch this.

I feel you. What instruments do you have? What instruments do you wish you had?

I am in the same situation as OP and this is the route I’m moving along. I got myself a used 800 G3 SFF based on a comment in a similar thread a few days ago.

It feels like a fine machine that consumes less power, supports upto 64 GB of RAM (I got 2x16 with future upgrades in mind). But the most noticeable thing about it is that it has space for 2x3.5" HDDs that none of the machines this size have, apart from the NVMe disk I put in. I intend to put 2x4 TB disks in it in RAID1 mainly to store family photos and videos. I’m learning docker to set up immich properly- i don’t want to lose anything due to my stupidity in updating things.

I have about a dozen questions regarding the same but I’m scared to put them all in a single post. But I’m trying to follow advice on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCDmHljsinY and hoping things will turn out fine. Based on their recommendation, I’ve also obtained a used g4560 processor to replace the existing dual core processor (i think it is 4400 or something like that) it came with. I hope it’ll be sufficient for stremio/torrentio/RD that everyone is so pleased with.

All in all I’m enjoying the journey of setting it up and my only fear is not of losing the data but of curating it to my liking and then losing the customisations in a fuckup.

Good, you got the clue! Now you gotta be his new best friend and get him just that.

Cool, I’ll try this next time. So far the least damaging way I’ve tried is putting the thing in hot water. The magnet and the base expand by different amounts and it is relatively easy to pry the magnet off. But the thing cools down quickly so it takes a few tries.

I’m proud of you too
