Namesilo, cheap and never had issues

Can be ott yeah. I set mine up to understand how it all works and just kept things going.

No love for kubernetes?

What are you even claiming? Billing is the same ease VM or container.

Cgroups became a thing in 2004 and then Google and Amazon started container offerings in 2008.

And you don’t even need docker there are plenty of alternative engines.

I’d like to point out this is a hot take.

Enterprise infrastructure has been moving to containers for years because of scale and redundancy. Spinning up new VMs for every app failover is bloat and wasteful if it is able to be put in a container.

To really use them well, like everything in IT, understanding the underlying tech can be essential.

Immich-go is stupid easy.

Just dump all your takeout zips in the same folder as immich-go and run the import. Lmk if you need help.

It ingested 60+ zips with 100gb of photos when I used it.

Unifi out of the box settings.

Honestly, if you want small and cheap get a raspberry pi to play around or rent a VM.

If you care about storage too you can get a Synology NAS (pricy) which is pretty newbie proof and comes out of the box with different and photo sync along with support for VMs or docker.

LineageOS on the Shield? Any drawbacks?

You can run tdarr which is automated transcoding.

https://home.tdarr.io/

Tail scale can be self hosted also. But for example, it took me 5 clicks to set up a tail scale network with 3 devices.

Also it’s apparently been buffed to 100 devices for free and 3 custom domains.

Also open source https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale

Tail scale is stupid easy to set up and free for first ten 100 devices and supports 3 custom domains.

Might give it a look, the UI for portainer is frustrating but I mostly use the stacks.

Looks interesting. How does it compare to portainer stacks?

It can but it’s the server hardware that decides your performance, you can just avoid transcoder on the fly and have h264 mp4 and can run JF on a toaster smoothly.

I had the same issue, I used tdarr to re encode to h264 mp4

Codeberg is great

1. The docker install doesn’t take a long time, if you read the instructions you can download their YAML file and run only one command. But on the GitHub they have instructions for desktop app mode if you don’t want docker.
2. It’ll take up more resources outside docker but it’s a small PHP app.
3. No it isn’t.
4. Have a look at the examples, if you are not familiar with docker you might need to look at the embedded desktop app as you’ll run into this issue with any alternative in docker.
