Most of that will be budget based and long term goal oriented. Do you want a 4 bay nas with 10tb drives set up in raid 5 or do you think you’d want a two bay system with 5tb drives set up in mirror raid? Do you want to start cheap and get a second hand thinkcenter off ebay or do you want to buy a brand new NUC and put a 2tb M.2 and 16gb of ram in one slot so you can add the other 16gb later? Some nuc can take up to 64gb of ram and have two 2tb drives in them.
To play off what others are saying i think a mini pc and a stand alone nas may be the better route for you. It may seem counter intuitive to break it out into two devices but doing so will allow room for growth. If you buy a creeper bare bones mini pc and put more of your budget towards a nas and storage you could expand the mini pc without messing with your nas. You could keep the pi in the mix for a backup if your main pc is down or offload some services to it to balance performance.
AudioBookShelf is a beautiful podcast option. OP would have to fully migrate into it but once done it’ll let you listen to an episode on pc, pause, then resume from the same spot on mobile. It’ll auto grab episode as they come out and store them on your system for streaming or local access. The android app is pretty good and i know webapp works well on ios
I’m never a fan of virtualizing network related items for the sake of redundancy, if your server goes down the rest of your network can keep doing it’s thing. That being said, with the hardware you have on your hands i don’t see any solid atonemen argument for bringing in more hardware.
Proxmox is a great base for you to really ramp things up and i’d recommend looking into pfsense as a routing/firewall solution. There’s a bunch of great youtube videos that can talk you through setting it up and using it as your vpn point, adblocking, reverse proxy, and so much more.
Accidentally read the second book thinking it was a stand alone. The story still held up so i made it half the book before i realized my mistake
So in your case the vm is HAOS and Frigate is running inside that?
That would be one hell of a project
If i remember correct the vm i’m running lemmy on has less than 300gigs of storage and i’ve used less than half of that with running lemmy for a couple of months with a hand full of users. I can’t speak to the bandwidth aspect but i’d imagine self hosting lemmy would almost be better suited for low bandwidth so it can pull down the posts over time and hold them locally for you when you’re ready, but thats just a guess.
This looks like a great fit for my use case, i’ll dig into this more, thank you.
I’m seeing a lot of good options involve email servers and if that’s the best route then that’s where i’ll take things but i’d prefer nothing more than a simple, lightweight, calendar service.
What public services do you use that you think you’d want to self host? I’m trying to reduce the data i give to big companies so i starred running an instance of Audiobook-shelf and use it to auto grab my podcasts from an rss feed and keep a copy on my server plus it serves up all my audio books too. Or you could set up a vpn back to your network via wireguard and get the benefits of pihole when you’re not home. If you feel like really digging into things you could host your own lemmy instance, or matrix chat and bridge in other serviced but that requires a bit more advanced knowledge.
Have you looked into syncthing?
Not OP, i’ve heard nothing but good things about cloudflare tunnels but for me they have two major drawbacks. The first is you can’t use them for a self hosted media server such as jellyfin as it violates their terms of service. The second is you have to trust them with all your traffic. Now i have no reason to think they would do anything nefarious but i’m at the point in my threat model journey that the less i trust in any corporations hands the better. Just my two cents.
Splendor duel?! I love splendor but i’ve never heard of duel, sounds interesting! What’s NerdzDay?
What’s the use case to adding qbittorrent to prowlarr?
I’ll have to give this a try, thanks!
I use to do the exact same thing until recently when i found that Audiobookshelf can auto download podcast like podgrab does but in a smarter way. And in my opinion the default naming convention on audiobookshelf is better too. Ditched podgrab and haven’t looked back.
You are correct, they are limited to 2.5" drives. They also take m.2 and if i’m not mistaken those go up to 8Tb and 5Tb for 2.5 SSD. Not the ideal single drive solution but if you had a total size goal it looks like you could hit it with an NUC
Likely not the solution you’re looking for but a buddy and i link a folder via syncthing and anything added to one side shows up on the other.
