The question is not why to start, but when do you stop, lol

I’m working in pharmaceutical production industry and I have started selfhosting few months ago.

I wanted to replace google photos with immich, cause my photo collection approached 200gb and I didn’t want to upgrade to 2tb version. My gf also had same problem

Bought second hand mini pc for 100€ to test to see how it goes and if I had decided to go back, i would have sold it.

Initially I was following FUTO guide, but quickly noticed it was too extensive and complex for my setup. I managed to set up immich with reverse proxy, did few mistakes here and there, but when it finally worked, I got hooked. I now have:

• local backups to external drive (borg-web-ui docker)
• ntfy. To send noticiation to my phone after backup had finished
• diun. To notify when docker update is available
• dockgee. docker management
• tailscale. Remote access

All of it comes gradually, I’m tinkering with home assistant vm now.

cooler light is more popular in places where it gets hot: Middle East, South East Asia countries prefer using cooler tones because it gives feeling of freshness and cooleness

I started selfhosting month ago. I’ve came across Borg Web Ui. Its borg, but wrapped in nice web ui. I managed to setup daily local backups to external drive without struggling in the CLI. Borg web ui provides more dumbed down documentation (which is good for me). I’ve also setup to send notification to my phone when the backup is successful. I used NTFY for that
