Would you set a gateway? They’re on the same network.

Network interfaces can be assigned multiple IP addresses. You should be able to use DHCP and a link local address at the same time.

That said I think this is easier to do with network manager. I’m not sure how it works with the rpi. But “link local address rpi” is a good search term to start with.

There are apps for lots of devices including Android TV which is what I use.

There is something to be said about CLI applications being risky by default (“rm” doesn’t prompt to ask, rsync --delete will do just that). But I’ve definitely slipped on the mouse button while “drag & dropping” files in a GUI before. And it can be a right mess if you move a bunch of individual files rather than a sub-folder…

Recommend doing a jellyfin server with an *arr stack

That’s a great way to get a cease and desist letter from your ISP.

That, is not a NAS then.

They’re looking to run Jellyfin on the nas. And do a little gaming. That’s not a NAS. It’s a server/desktop that serves nfs shares.

Jellyfin is a NAS?

I’d prefer to use it as a NAS most the time as it has plenty of drive bays and I need somewhere better to run jellyfin than my desktop.

I feel like “NAS” has simply lost all meaning.

Sounds like something like “git annex” is what you’re looking for?

I use this to manage all my photos. It lets you add binaries and synchronize then to a backend server (can be local, can be s3, back blaze, etc).

You can then “drop” files and it ensures a remote exists first. And when you drop the file your still see a symlink of it locally (it’s broken) so that you know it exists.

My workflow is to add my files, sync them to both a local server and b2, then I drop and fetch folders as i need (need disk space? “git annex drop 2022*”, want to edit some photos? “git annex get 2022_10_01”.

I’m using the bpg provider - but I share your pain. Both providers had things that don’t work so I went with the one that supported my use-case better. But it’s not ideal.

I would love an official provider.

everywhere you want to use the files.

Why use SSHFS for that?

So that you don’t have copies of files everywhere.

My work laptop is 16x10 and I do appreciate the extra vertical space.

That’s nice! I’ve always wanted a KVM but yeah, they’re always super pricey…

Are there any specific services that makes more sense to host on a laptop that would be sitting turned on but put away somewhere?

Nothing comes to mind.

One nice thing about using laptops though is the built-in UPS, assuming the battery is still good.

This sort of thing can be a bit of a pain.

chmod -R a+rX /path/to/pictures will grant “world-readable” to things so immich would be able to find them. You’d then want to set something like umask 002 for Nextcloud to create files by default with world readable permission. If it’s running in a container I’m not sure how that is done as I’ve not done it before. You then hope Nextcloud doesn’t set it own file permissions, which it may out of a duty to be more secure.

If you don’t want files to be world-readable you could create a group that nextcloud and immich share then set group ownership. You may need to set a “sticky” bit to maintain the group ownership and then hope the individual applications don’t override it, which they probably will.

If you can get both apps to use the same user or group that would probably be best. With the containerized versions of these you might be able to pass in a UID/GID for them to use?

if you’ve to run for hours to get a new one rebuild a second hard drive is highly likely to fail on that time - specially if they’ve the same runtime, model etc.

If you’re running a 2-disk RAID-1 you have the same problem.

And I restate - that risk is small. You’re not running a data center where you have thousands of disks to see the effect.

“Need” is a strong word. But yes BRTFS RAID 5/6 is unstable but unless you’re only after space efficiency RAID 5/6 shouldn’t be used at all, those shames will put you on the worst position possible if something fails (and also low throughput). When you try to rebuild a RAID 5 with large drives it will probably go into days and you’ll be risking the failure of a second drive and lose everything right there.

I’ve had a RAID5 for 10+ years, had drives fail and I’ve replaced them. Rebuilds are fine and rare. It’s very unlikely to have two drives fail within a week of each other and I don’t want to only get 1/2 my disk space. RAID6 makes that small chance even smaller. If you’re worried about loss you have backups - RAID is for uptime not recovery.

You seem to think the way you’ve done things is the one and true right way to do it and that’s not the case.

… actually it’s a proper filesystem unlike Ext4.

My dude. Just… No. 🙄
