What is everyone else hosting? What am I missing?

    Shinobi seems to be pretty lightweight though. I’m running it in an orangepi zero recording 4 cameras 24/7 and streaming their feeds with no hardware issues from the orangepi. Would frigate be able to run on light hardware?

      Object detection will be a challenge, especially for multiple cameras. It’ll probably be fine if you have an Intel processor with quick sync.

      I’m running Blue Iris on a Windows VM. I also have codeproject.ai on an Ubuntu VM with a Quadro P2000 for object detection (it also does Plex transcoding, the object detection doesn’t stress it very much).

      My previous “home server” was a raspberry pi 4 running home assistant and motioneye for 2 cameras. It was able to handle it with a reasonable amount of headroom. That being said, I couldn’t imagine an SBC being able to handle object detection on top of that.

      I’ve got frigate running on a HAOS VM as an add-on. 2 cameras both running detection with only 2 cores dedicated to frigate.

      Using proxmox on an old Intel 5960x, very minimal usage I’m sure you would see reasonable results on an orangepi. I guess make a backup of your SD / NVME before wiping and testing.

      Been meaning to tweak detection as it’s a bit slow right now, wanting some automations built around person / presence detection utilising zone detection but it’s too slow right now.

    Which nextcloud image do you use? I’ve been having issues with the linuxserver being kinda buggy at times (not loading file previews or not being able to close a preview without editing the URL) the app has performed pretty well but the web ui hasnt been great

      Yeah I’m using the linuxserver one. It was a bit buggy for me, but I feel it’s improved with each update. Especially the new one, v27 I think? I also feel like the longer the server is online, the better it feels, so it may be a caching thing too

          I’m running unRaid on an i5-12400 with 32Gb RAM. I’m also using an NVME cache drive for uploads to Nextcloud and have unRaid scheduled to move the files over to the HDD array every night

          Edit: also the linuxserver MariaDB image for DB. If you’re also running MariaDB, have you done the manual check for errors and update process? That might help?

    If you have any smart devices in your home (and even many use cases outside of that) you could run “homeassistant” to pipe all your different smart devices through a common, extensible, scriptable interface.

    Personal preference: Jellyfin instead of plex

    Some that I run that you don’t seem to have anything for:

    • Lancache (if you have several gaming PCs on the network or host any kind of lan party)
    • surveillance camera software e.g. shinobi
    • I see grafana, but other monitoring services like icinga, librenms, etc
    • Mayan EDMS - I’ve found this really helpful as anything I get in the mail, I scan in, and this makes it all searchable and retrievable.
    • There’s a whole hole you could dig if you start getting into home automation (I use home assistant)

      I’ve been looking at something for my cameras. I got Zoneminder running but configuring its behaviour was a nightmare.

      All I want is to keep a limited rotating backup of a few cameras. Would Shinobi do that?

      So I do have a jellyfin instance, but for some reason it couldn’t play some video formats that Plex could. I haven’t looked into it in too much detail yet though. And definitely need to look into Shinobi or frigate! Thanks for the suggestions!

        Check your encoding settings! Also if you use an iOS client, I highly recommend Swiftfin, as it seemed to support direct play on some files the Jellyfin app wouldn’t play at first. I’m still new to it too, but after I got my GTX 1080Ti set up on the right encoding settings, it’s been nothing but butter with everything I throw at it.

      What about Jellyfin do you prefer? I remember jellyfin not having the greatest hw encoding when I tried but that may be different now.

      I use Intel Quick Sync and getting that to work with Plex through Unraid was a breeze. I certainly did not have the same experience with Jellyfin at the time.

        I’m a huge supporter of open source, so Plex being closed alone makes it gross to me. Very little about Plex felt selfhosted.

        I also like to tinker a lot and jellyfin lets me screw around with much more under the hood - precise encoding settings, dlna customizations, I’m sure there’s more but the primary driver was ideology. I’m not giving my money to some company that’s primarily developing features I don’t want so that I can use my own media to the fullest.

        I’ve had very little issue with hardware accelerated encoding, but I already had the right drivers installed and on unix OSes that’s probably the hardest part

          Thanks for the response! I think I’ll give it another shot when I get home. I’ve been procrastinating some of my home assistant projects so this is perfect haha

    Could you share your settings file, or at least the background and icons? I love the aesthetic

      Whoa haven’t heard of plex_debrid until now. How is the quality with the streams? Can quality be controlled like how downloads are with sonarr/radar?

        Yeah you can. The guy who makes it has done excellent work and has an active discord server. I love it.

      I moved from Organizr to Homepage via Heimdall.

      I had no end of issues with Organizr. It felt like something broke with each update and performance was pretty bad (not to mention some apps just not working with it). Seemed to be pretty common when I last tried it a couple of years ago, there were lots of similar complaints.

      The good thing about Homepage is that the widgets mean you rarely have to go in to each app’s ui, so it actually saves me time.

      Y’know, I’ve played around with Organizr a little bit and didn’t quite like it. I think I had some trouble setting it up or something. I’ll probably go back to try it again at some point

    I need to get back into self hosting. It’s been a while and the server has been off the whole time… Think I need to get the server back up and running and take some inspiration from yourself.
