I’d probably go for a small N100 mini-PC.
Should be plenty powerful for what you need, very low wattage and relatively trivial to get GPU pass through in Proxmox. Alternatively one of the more powerful versions.
This depends on how many cameras, resolution and frequency of course, but you should be able to see if others with similar setups have it running smoothly. You’d be limited on storage, but can set up NFS to your NAS or existing server.
I plan to use Surveillance Station in my Synology NAS.
Two PoE cameras on their own physical network. Everything is laying in the closet still as life just gets in the way, but hopefully it will be done this winter or spring.
I also have a Eufy 2k Doorbell camera with a hub for local storage.
None of it is for actual protection though, as burglaries are rare here. It’s only because I love tech and to capture interesting moments. I also plan on making time lapses because they are cool.
I agree.
It’s easy to forget how much time and dedication running a custom setup can cost, and that quickly drains whatever wife-acceptance-factor you had left.
Think of paying for a pre-built NAS less as just overpriced HW, but more as great software features that work out of the box and a dev team improving functionality for you every day.
It can host a plethora of containers with ease on the side anyways, and if you need something specific that requires more juice: build that on the side and tinker with it.
N100 mini-PC for instance can host anything but heavy game servers for <15W.
I agree with this, but would like to add for OP that diversifying is not always a bad idea.
I have a NAS that is mainly running as just a NAS with a few containers to help me download and categorize stuff. It has a AMD CPU, so no HW transcoding, so I added a N100 to host Jellyfin on the side. That little NUC can also run HA, Heimdall, PiHole, Tailscale or any lightweight container with ease. I do it with Proxmox LXC’s.
If I wanted to host game servers, I would probably build a server for that on its own anyways, just because it would be more power hungry and need modularity for future upgrades/changes.
I guess the point is that there is no «one server does it all» for me. I prefer to have servers more suitable for their tasks than having one beast doing everything alone. Makes it suck less when stuff breaks too.
Otherwise I think the comment above is on point.
Honestly mate, I am not a tankie or even politically left in my country, but when looking at the insane results for these enormous companies and the ever increasing greed with ads/price hikes, I’ve just had enough.
I know it’s not morally right to steal, but I refuse to support companies like Alphabet paying their CEO 200+ million a year. If they manage to block me out when skirting their ads, then I’ll find something else to spend my time on.
So you’re right, I just don’t care anymore.
I do pay for Nebula though!
It works, it’s just not working as I hoped. If I get 0.5 I’m lucky on the most popular episodes.
Guessing it’s peering vs seedboxes crushing me as mentioned above.
Appreciate the feedback mate
You might be right and I’m just underestimating how many people have seedboxes in major data centers…
If so, at least my setup is OK but it makes Autobrr for home users a bit less worthwile.
Just one for Qbit. Did I miss something during setup?
When I migrated the Jellyfin server to a NUC instead of the NAS. Now I can get whatever quality I like and just transcode on the fly when necessary. Also picked up some surveillance cameras that I expect will require some storage space.
14 TB soon full. Considering getting two more drives
You’ll be fine mate.
I re-hoisted the flag after a decade and two minions myself this year. The old ways still work fine, but there’s also a ton of new things to make life easier.
Check out the .arr suite, burn uTorrent and get Qbittorrent and try out Jellyfin.
Feel free to ask me directly if you need some pointers.
Cool initiative. Filled it in just now
Saw someone say it was due to Cloudflare.
I’m sure (hope) they will be back soon
Cheers mate!
Have heard about them and must admit I’m a bit skeptical, but I’ll do another round of reading up on them.
MAM looks good as the missus reads a lot on her tablet. Is it mostly English or other languages too?
Might have to set up Readarr as well now…
This is incredible mate!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write it all out.
I’ll keep my eyes peeled for the next few months and try to get in. LST sounds the most fitting tbh. Relaxed and easy as long as you make a tiny bit of effort.
Thanks again for great advice!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
I’ll subscribe and hope for some good ones to open up.
Any trackers you’d recommend in particular?
Yeah it was awesome. I didn’t download a thing for years because the service was good and price was fair.
This year I finally gave in. Paying for 6 different streaming services and still not finding the movie we wanted to watch made me get a NAS and cancel (almost) all subscriptions. We kept Spotify and Netflix.
They can all get bent, literally.
Sure, it was only meant as a way to circumvent ads on the TV
I got a colleague last year, but he is the only one.
Super nice to have Proxmox/Docker/Portainer discussions at work.
Hope you find a new best friend soon!
The private tracker I use has it for PC and PS4, including patch v1 01.
Let me know if you are unable to get it and you need some help. Otherwise best of luck and have a great day!
