How do you find frigate with the NUC? It works pretty well?

Thanks a lot for Immich and for posting here. Much appreciated the hard work this year and helping myself and family on our self hosted journey.

Performance mostly, encoding is better, reducing load on my NAS and using it specifically for storage. Immich performs better as well, it’s pretty resource hungry I found. I also am planning to set up Frigate for home security and that’s the main reason I wanted something with a bit more power.

I just recently discovered proxmox and am slowly moving my docker containers off my NAS. Picked up a used Intel NUC, i5-8259, 32gb ram, 512gb HDD. It’s been great so far, very happy with its ability paired with proxmox.

I downloaded and tested as well and noticed right away there is no sleep timer which I use every night. I actually quite like the audiobook shelf app. It’s served my wife and I quite well this past year.

Should’ve went for the full 2 decillion

I think it’s mostly to do with their advertising tactics and misleading people in what their service is actually doing.

They also had a data breach and did not handle it well.

Maybe there’s other stuff I don’t remember… I’ve never used them, I’ve been on Mullvad for some years now but considering proton next.

I use an android device and my NAS is a Synology ds923. Jellyfin wasn’t nearly as smooth an experience for me as Plex was. I’m willing to switch to FOSS but it doesn’t seem as good yet…

Do you have an offsite backup? Or do you only backup specifics? Like 10-20% of that?

I’ve been to Paris 3 times, I’m from BC in Canada. April, May and October I went. Had an amazing time every time, people, food, places. It’s one of my favorite cities.

I’ve had this turned off for quite some time (maybe 2 years) and haven’t had it turn itself back on. Using Firefox.

I do use docker, I set up a docker account as well with selected permissions.

I do have a separate backup in a separate building that syncs the most important stuff.

It is backed up to a another drive that’s in a separate building. At least the most important stuff syncs.

Thanks for the reply. I have used VLC forever and here and there for casting. Mostly it’s my parents using Plex that I’m trying to simplify for them. Not sure if jellyfin would help them lol

How’s the android app and casting to Chromecast? If you know… I struggle the most with casting and controlling casted material as well as scrubbing while casting.

What is it that you all are documenting? I’m just getting started and have so far just set up docker and several containers (Plex, the *arrs, qbittorrent, gluetun) and not sure if I should be writing something down?

Thanks a lot. I have looked around and haven’t found anything like this… Maybe my search words weren’t the right ones.

Is there a chassis you know of that has similar dimensions to the DS923? I know it’s a strange concern but size is an issue for me.

I live in Canada where it often gets below -20c in the winter. I have a cheap electric water heater (eco smart) and it does our house of two people fine. It’s a little slow to fill our tub, though. Cold weather has nothing to do with tankless vs storage water heaters. The company we hire to do our plumbing and HVAC installs in new homes we build often recommends Navien gas water heaters. They work great at high flow rates but require direct ventilation of the combustion gas. The last two homes I built used Navien tankless heaters and the home owners are extremely happy with them. Talk to a different installer in your area. HVAC contractors are probably to be the most knowledgeable.
