  • Great starting point! I think option 1 will be better for this scenario. But later if you can, a cheap desktop build will be better for proxmox since you will have more room to expand and play with more things, add more storage even GPU for jellyfin.

    Have fun!

  • Clean, looks great! I'm curious is this more lightweight than xfce mint (my prefered choice to bring back some life to old notebooks)? If it is why? I understand alpine is best choice to build light container images but I don't know how it behave as desktop

    Could you share wp?

  • I perform a backup once a week from my main desktop to a HDD, then once a month I copy important data/files from all nodes (proxmox, rpi's and main desktop) to 2 "cold" unplugged HDD that's the only time I connect them. I do all of that using rsync with backup.sh and coldbackup.sh

    I use syncthing for notes across mobile/desktop/notebook, for that and other important files the backup goes to Google Drive or MEGA (besides the offline backup).

    I want to try S3 Glacier since is cheaper for cloud backup... has anyone tried?

  • +1 for obsidian and syncthing, I like to avoid the use of many applications. So everything related to writing text/notes for personal use I do centralize in obsidian. You can even make some drawings or handwriting with excalidraw, hady for diagrams.

  • What a good timing, I was looking for a YT music replacement.

    Navidrome seems like a good choice but is exactly what you're are saying "classic media player with a webUI". I like the convenience of YT music recommendations and all the music available even the music I don't usually listen to. I would need a much bigger music library or a way to facilitate the music discovery and automate the downloads.

    I know there's is Lidarr to automatically download music but I read some people saying music naming scheme is a mess. So anybody has successfully replaced Spotify or YT music with Navidrome or similar? How is your setup?

  • Maybe it's hard at the beginning but as you keep doing it becomes easier. If you feel overwhelmed take a break for a few days and try again later. I think we all have been there and hit a wall. Self host, open source and Linux communities are friendly you can ask for help and find someone willing to help you, so don't be afraid to ask for help (as I was before). Just take small steps.

    Don't give up. Have fun.

  • Those that are hosting their own mail server, did you stop using regular mail (gmail, outlook etc). Is possible to migrate to self hosted mail? I don't think I can't stop using gmail and other google services that's stopping me from trying to do this.
