I run, my own:
Jellyfin and Immich jave stayed as mainstays after like 2 dozen projects I've tried on. That and a Samba share.
How was setting up immich? Looking to expand and that seems interesting.
Give it a go, I just finished the docker with tailscale setup. Using parts of this guide from Alex from tailscale https://youtu.be/guHoZ68N3XM (for the ones saying don't post yt links, I've not seen an add in the past 6 years or so, just use revanced) 2 hickups I had to overcome: a dns issue and different gpu passthrough then jellyfin uses). Reason was unpriviliged lxc in proxmox in both cases. But I prefer an lxc in this case. Just lost 2hrs looking back at old photos, it works great! Rdy for introducing it to my non tech wife!
Pretty easy.
Beginner here. What do you mean by a Samba share? Do you mean a shared network folder? Or something more elaborate?
Yes they mean a SMB share. A type of network share that works (mostly) with Linux and windows.
do NOT open SMB to the internet. You will get crypto'd in minutes. Just a warning for any newbs coming here.
Jellyfin is great. My latest addition to my media ecosystem was audiobookshelf which is really nice as well if you like to listen to ebooks.
I do believe, you may in fact, perhaps, be a nerd.
You don't happen to have a simple how-to or wiki for these services do you?
Official documentation is all well and good but sometimes it can be a nightmare to follow and understand (Nextcloud for example had me pulling my hair) for us mere nerdlings that haven't achieved full nerdhood yet.
Why GitLab and Gitea?
Duh
I run gitea on a different kind of internet.......
Is that one machine?
Yes just one homelab server.
Actually even its on 1 Linux VM (but that doesn't mean you should also use a single VM). Anyways tldr; Yes.
Edit: ow.. And you should too!
Oh, what's the speedtest server?
I've not run into that yet myself, but I'd love to have one of those.
I run OpenSpeedTest Server.
