Awesome stuff. I’m currently reusing my router and media device to host a file sever, radicale (contacts, calendar and tasks) and immich. All this stuff on old HDDs taken from old laptops with a usb enclosure. Get redundancy with rsyncing between drives and everything was essentially low cost. It’s not pretty or the fastest but good enough for my needs.
Netbird and zerotier servers in my router to connect my devices as I’m behind CGNAT. Essentially have contacts, calendar, tasks, files and photos all under my control. No fancy media player but don’t have time to watch films or series outside. Immich was the last step to get rid of google stored files. Good riddance.

Why both Netbird and ZeroTier? Don’t they conflict with each other?
- H Ramus@piefed.socialEnglish4 months
For redundancy. In case one has issues or changes the terms and I’m kicked out. The netbird android app also seems to consume a lot of battery so I’m trialling which one is more battery efficient.

I’m behind CGNAT and wouldn’t want to expose devices to the internet.

4 monthsWireguard allows you to tunnel properly. For example, if you have a low cost vps, self-host Pangolin and voilà. Tho idk about android apps, surely there’s some wireguard clients that work perfectly fine with Pangolin

What are the upsides compared to Netbird which is based on Wireguard? Seems a bit overkill for my needs, can connect fine without a VPS.

Can you access immich from outside of your network? If so, how do you do it? I’d like to do it, too, without accidentally opening everything to the internet haha
- H Ramus@piefed.socialEnglish4 months
Yes, either Netbird or Zerotier allow me to connect to my home lan without exposing ports to the outside. Netbird seems more user friendly to setup and there’s good documentation for openwrt.

I wouldnt recommend anyone using their subscription, but the amount of people owning a perpetual licencense from before is probably higher than after.

There was a company recently who shat on perpetual licenses, can’t remember which.
- ÚwÙ-Passwort@lemmy.worldEnglish4 months
There are regularly companies doing that. My trust is low, thats why i dont recommend unraid anymore to anyone. I just wanted to point out that probably most unraid user dont pay a subsciption
