  • How many containers are you all running?

    Jump

  • I have about 15 trueNAS apps only 2 of them are custom (endurain and molly socket). They are containers but very low effort handled mostly by the system. I also have 3 LXC. And 2 VMs (home assistant and openWRT). I spend only few minutes a week on maintenance. And then I tinker for several hours a week, testing new apps or enhancing current ones configs.

  • Immich v2.5.0 - 90000 Stars Release, with Free Up Space, non-destructive editing, backup and restore on the web, visual refreshing, and moreeeee! 🎉

  • Neat, I didn't know about quadlets, never used podman. Seems like a fun new thing to learn 😀 thanks

    Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps

  • What is your setup? I have TrueNAS and there I use the apps that are easy to install (and the catalog is not small) and maintain. Basically from time to time I just come and update (one button click). I have networking separate and I had issues with Tailscale for some time, but there I had only 4 services in total, all docker containers and all except the Tailscale straight forward and easy to update. Now I even moved those. One as a custom app to TrueNAS and the rest to proxmox LXC - and that solved my tailscale issue as well. And I am having a good time. But my rule of thumb - before I install anything I ask myself if I REALLY need this, because otherwise I would end up with like a jillion services that are cool, but not really that useful or practical.

    I think what I would recommend to you, find platform like TrueNAS, where lots of things is prepared for you and don't bother too much with the custom stuff if you don't enjoy. Also I can recommend having a test rig or VM so that you can always try first, if its easy to install and stable to use. There were occasions when I was trying stuff and it was just bothersome, I had to hack stuff and I was glad in the end I didn't "pollute" my main server with it.

  • Containers are amazing. But they may not be for everything. It also depends what you mean by containers. In this case I think you mean only docker containers. They are amazing, I love them but they are not the silver bullet. But then if you also think about LXC those two types can cover like 99 % of homelab usecases.

  • Yeah, I think you either have to use their "external library" feature, which makes immich basically just an image viewer or you have to let immich handle everything but then the filesystem settings are very limited. Sadly there is nothing in between. I opted for the second option. I have the basic storage template (with folders for years, months and days) and I think that is ok by me, but I really wish I could also perma edit the photos. Fyi you can still do operations on your images on the filesystem (not renaming or moving though), you just have to refresh metadata and thumbnails for that photo (or video) in immich. I was doing that for the image or video rotations. Its still not very practical to do that, but that is at least something.

  • Yeah, I mean its still good, but I wish I could just say "apply permanently" and have it on the filesystem without having to tinker..

  • I love it too actually, I just wish to have a button that would basically say "apply permanently".

  • Its huge and not huge at the same time. Lots of new stuff, but lots only in some clients. What disappoints me a bit is the lossless editing. On one hand it is nice feature to have, on the other I want my edits to be permanent. I made Immich to save my images in pre-defined structure so that if immich stops working one day (or if I want to perform batch file operations or whatever) I still have my photos neatly organized. This lossless editing means that the changes will live somewhere in database and not on the actual filesystem. I hope they eventually introduce option to apply on the actual file.

  • I see, thank you.

  • EDIT: BentoPDF version 1.16.1 now uses bentopdfteam/bentopdf and is the official account, and bentopdf/bentopdf is deprecated and not maintained anymore

  • Does anyone know how it affects the people using Bento through TrueNAS apps?

  • Exactly. Whenever there is a subscription for something basic it's a huge red flag and no go.

  • Well if it was 3 times cheaper maybe. But for the price I expect capable device, not device crippled by software (and subscription).

  • My wife had one, sadly they have very closed system, its really just for notes, if you try use it as ebook reader it will get complicated and unintuitive real fast. Dont even think about reading web on that thing.

  • Exactly what I wanted to say + don't install something you don't trust.

  • I have cut microsoft out in 2020. Had enough, I can't believe some people still put up with their bs. I know some people have no choice when it comes to work, but in personal life it should be a no brainer. I wonder how many people is on windows just because they have never installed any OS and they just don't know how to. Won't be a small number I guess.
