What's happening on your servers? Any interesting news things you tried?

I didn't do anyone other than updating Mastodon (native deployment) lately due to a lack of time. Reading so much about Immich caused me to consider trying it in parallel to Nextcloud but I'm not sure if I want to have everything twice.

Not quite homelab, but I'm about to install Linux Mint on my mom's laptop and that had me thinking about creating an off-site backup in her place again since she has a fiber connection. I'm still not sure about the potential design though, but currently my only backup is in the same rack as the live stuff.

Finally finished setting up and testing a Peertube instance. The video stuff and object storage related things certainly make it more involved than other fediverse software, but overall it is working quite nicely. Just need to find some workable solution to using GPU acceleration in containers, but I think I mostly figured it out (might work after a server restart, but my sweet, sweet uptime makes me procrastinate on that πŸ˜… ).

How much storage do you think you'll need with caching external content? Does Peertube even do that?

Not automatically, but you can configure it to mirror certain video channels or individual videos. But I have not looked into that too much yet.

As for storage: a typical video you would find on such a platform with the different stored video resolutions and so on will take between 0.5 and 3 GB... depending on the length and how well it compresses.
