BookLore https://github.com/mvanhorn/booklore/
Killer feature for me was ability to upload books via web.
Edit: just noticed I linked wrong git, thanks @GeekyOnion@lemmy.world

I guess I’m looking for a new service now as well
It does, sometimes… but it is not a huge PITA.
I need to see if FairScan would do a better job.
I don’t think thermal paste is the problem here, the whole box is god damn hot, so it conducts heat well. At wall it measures 14-15w consumption, got it there from like 20-22w that was on defaults. Given that N150 is 6W TDP, the whole system just runs hot.
A fan would help, but I wanted fanless for a reason.
I bought a topton router with Intel N150. I was and still am disappointed with how much it heats up. Enev at idle it’s not really comfortable to touch it.
Damn, I would have thought that glacier would be cheaper and they would claw your eyes out on egress and access.
This is the way.
If router works, you got access to your lab. If it doesn’t, well redundancy was not a requirement / too much hassle to set up.
You are like hitting a data protection layer. Basically your corpo does not want you to exfiltrate data (accidentally nor maliciously).
Your options
Well that settles my idea of entertaining AM5.
I was sorting somethingting similar some time ago with https://www.dwarmstrong.org/remote-unlock-dropbear/
Also there is https://github.com/latchset/tang and https://github.com/latchset/clevis
Then I changed it so my server boots and offers basic functionality like DNS and any encrypted data would wait until I unlock it. When I fiddle with it could be annoying, but otherwise works very well considering I need to unlock it just a few times a year.
I’m running it for about a year and I never noticed any instability. To fair Android app did not always work well.
Nevertheless I never had a problem with updating it once every couple of months. Changlog and upgrade instructions always covered everything.
At such volume it is difficult to come up a service that does not break a bank. Storage is expensive.
Perhaps immich + monthly backups to S3 glacier. That is if you don’t have a second and third site available
If my lab goes down, it sucks, but that’s it. I have no critical service running there.
I have some recoverability, but it requires for the main router to run. If it isn’t running it’s either a HW failure, which I will not fix remotely anyway or power is down. In which case, not much I can do about it neither.
I have router with OpenWRT with Wireguard and main server (NUC) on a smart plug. If the router runs and server is mishaving to the point where I cannot reboot it, I can power cycle it via the smart plug connected to the router.
You mentioned your brother lives 30mins away - well put some tiny server in his house. Having everything at your home is not build for redundancy at all. That’s just the risk management, if you absolutely need access to your server, then 1 site is not going to cut it.
I have been on the same boat a while ago. Of course it was a deployment that caught on and was serving longer than expected.
I don’t recall how many versions I skipped exactly (1-2 years worth of updates). Of course no backups set what so ever.
I looked at change log of I need something specific, there were changes in docker compose file. Did my best effort to make it succeed.
My worst case scenario was that I will have to import everything again and made sure I have all my labels, tags and settings backed up.
Nowadays I’ll just snapshot the whole VM in Proxmox.
They have fairly good prices for small VPS, something like €1-2 and I cannot complain. Perfect for some small self hosting. I cannot comment on their more performant boxes.
1&1 is kind of typical telco, with all the shady stuff and contracts. DSL from them is without any issues. Mobile is kind of problematic, it was fine for past 3-4 years but with their “Fancy 5G net up to 300mbps” has pretty shit so far. Last week I was abroad and my sim would not connect at all. Contacted them via online chat and they said to call them… They fixed it after like 20h
There is a hidden cost to every hobby and everybody is willing to tolerate a certain degree of shittyness.
I have a friends that has a rather old car and something on it is always broken. But he has no problem having 20 different apps for appliances, instead of deploying home assistants. Or having ads everywhere and even trying pihole or at least NextDNS.
On the other hand, I see my car as a transportation tool and when I need it I want to use it without worrying about some random part exploding. But I have no problem running Proxmox and hosting tons of services for my family.
That said, I would definitely not self-host something like NextCloud or any business critical component for my business and just paid somebody for the service.
Take what you have, start small and learn from it.
Old laptops are great, because they have low power consumption and even pretty used up battery will give you power redundancy.
Even a 10yo laptop is something with 4-5th gen Core cpu and that has plenty of power to get you started.
People think that vibe coding is just a product directly from a prompt. Despite even best models doing completely stupid things.
Some people will hate this because they are in it for the coding experience and some agent took it from them.
Some people will hate this because of some missing features or bugs, because they wanted a product and don’t care as much about the process.
Either way, you will not satisfy everyone. Congrats on getting this out to the world!
