Hey, I’m in the way of building my homelab already thinking of some apps to run on it… Truenas in a VM, a Debian VM to run docker. And on this point, do you a have some docker apps recommandations? Write down all the apps that worth looking at them 👇👇

      Do you think NextCloud is a good way to store photos, docs…

        It’s great for documents, etc., but I would use something different for photos. Check out Immich and PhotoPrism. I prefer Immich, because it has official mobile apps for Android and iOS. PhotoPrism has an unofficial gallery app for Android, but it doesn’t have sync capabilities. For that, you would need to use a 3rd-party, closed source app called PhotoSync. I think Immich is just the better option.

        Nextcloud is good at general cloud features. It’s not specialized in photo management. If you’re storing memes or cell phone pictures it’s fine, but if you use an actual camera that uses a RAW format, you’re much better off using Immich.

            I use nextcloud and immich in read only mode on top. Works like a charm. I sync my phone over weebdav every night.

          If you’re only using nextdoor for fine sync, seafile or synching will be vastly superior

            That is probably true, however, I personally use it to share with others who are not part of my network, calendar integration, password database access across many devices, rsync backups across *many devices, document editing via Collabora and probably other things I’m not thinking about at the moment. I don’t have the performance issues that others note, but I took all of the performance improvement steps noted in the documentation: have bare metal well-resourced db hosts (for multiple services), dedicated redis cache, properly configured php-fpm, etc.

        I use Nextcloud to hold all my personal and important files as well as my wife and I’s shared photo album. I use an old Surface laptop as a digital picture frame and have it on a random loop slideshow of our pictures album on our Nextcloud.

        We use the iPhone apps to upload our photos and then it shows up on our frame. Works really well!

        NC itself is discussable, but desktop/android clients are awesome. Autoupload and files preview without download are great features.

        I use it, mostly because I wanted to build an analogue to Google Drive/Photos, though it took some work to get it to a point where it felt good. Since the default Photos app feels pretty garbage to me, I installed the Memories app (same thing but better, very like Google photos) as well as Preview Generator & Recognize.

        These seem to do the trick. The automated tagging isn’t without its issues (pretty janky, frankly), but I’m pretty content with it to the point where I’m not looking to change in a hurry. Haven’t tried Immich, though it looks pretty enough like I’d probably just go with it since it does the one task it’s supposed to do, but again, I’m comfy and don’t feel the need to find a new home for my photos yet.

        I’ve used nextcloud for a while now, but it does suffer from jack of all trades syndrome. I’ve started offloading the things I use it for to other services that do a particular thing better. Syncthing for general file syncing across my devices, Immich for managing photos, Radicale for contacts and calendar sync…

        If you’re just looking for an all in one Google Drive like experience for your files though, Nextcloud is as good as it gets.

      I’ve heard of zabbix but what’s the difference with Grafana? If I’ve understand Tubearchivist is a self-hosted “YouTube app”? And how useful is a XMPP server?

        Zabbix collect all the data (for exemple, cpu usage, memory usage, disk space etc…) Grafana take this data from zabbix and display it, You can create dashboards with only the useful data you need!

        TubeArchivist is indeed “selfhosted youtube” but more importantly it’s more of a Youtube Backup, if you watch a lot of content on there, like me, you know that videos gets deleted all the time, and archiving videos that you like is really important (at least if some videos means a lot to you, like me)

        And a XMPP server is just a self-hosted messaging/calls service that works like email and is decentralized. I’m not that familliar with it yet, but i’m loving the concept

          You can create dashboards with only the useful data you need!

          While dashboards are nice to look at, I very much prefer to just configure Zabbix to only notify me in case of actual problems and leave me alone the rest of the time. 😉 Also, Zabbix has capabilities to show graphs and create dashboards as well. No need for Grafana here.

            Alerting is good too yes!

            But when you have multiple Datasource, grafana is great to cross the data and see everything at once, plus Grafana dashboard are better looking imo!

      @foremanguy92_@lemmy.ml personally I prefer CheckMk over Zabbix. I found Zabbix to be an absolute pig. Both are on the complex side. But really, you probably just need something like Uptime Kuma.

        Yes! Uptime Kuma is really awesome too, but it’s just for service availability, nothing more.

        I will check CheckMK but I think that uptime kuma is really bad for me, because this thing is very simple, does not have many options etc. So not a choice for me 🤷‍♂️

    I’ll throw my vote in for Jellyfin as well. My wife had a big dvd and Blu-ray collection and it streams perfectly over local network. If you’re into dev at all, I use mine to as a dev environment and Jenkins container to test and deploy my commits

    While TrueNAS is great I found it to be significantly more NAS-oriented than a general “home server”. It’s certainly capable just very into the weeds with permissions, users, groups, etc. It’s not very noob friendly. If you aren’t primarily dealing with a ton of data, you might want to look into something like CasaOS or Homarr which make sharing data on the network very “set it and forget it” and are more focused on apps.

    Also recommendations include PiHole, Immich, Qbittorrent, Plex (or Jellyfin) obviously, SyncThing, Duplicati, Home Assistant (although you probably want to run that in a VM) and Tailscale and NGINX proxy manager for accessing outside the house.

            (not OP but same boat) Doesn’t really matter to me because google knows my servers external IP which is a non-issue: I don’t expect google to try to attack me individually but crawl data about me. There is no automatic link between my server and my personal browsing habits.

            In terms of attack vector vs ease of use , self hosting searxng is a nobrainer for me - but I do have an external server available for things like that anyway so no additional overhead needed.

        Instead of wifi printing, my printer is attached directly to my Pi, then Common Unix Print Server/System (later Rebranded Cupertino Print Server when apple took over the project many years later) acts as printer announcement, driver and spooler service.
