Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I'm running it on in docker and I've connected it to my NAS mounted as a network drive. I set it up a few months ago, do it's better since then.

Don't even worry about the hardware, I've got it set up on a raspberry Pi 5. It'll take a while to do all the classification on your existing library, but new photos get classified fast enough. You're unlikely to need to do a smart search immediately after you've taken the pic.

For clarity, I'm not on Windows (obv, raspberry Pi), and I'm not using docker directly; I'm running HAOS on my pi, and I'm using the immich add-on. I know it uses docker, but I can't tell you the exact command to run.

That’s amazing. I have a Pi 4 currently running home assistant and pihole. Sounds like my pi family might be growing soon. Had no idea the 5 could run those features. Appreciate you
