I think everybody on here is constantly keeping an eye out for what to host next. Sometimes you spinup something which chugs along nicely but sometimes you find out you've been missing out.

For me it's not very refreshing or new: Paperless-ngx. Never thought I would add all my administration to it. But it's great. I probably can't find the thing I need, but I should have a record of every mail or letter I've gotten. Close second is Wanderer. But I would like to have a little bit more features like adding recorded routes to view speed and compare with previous walks. But that's not what it is intended for.

What is that service for you?

The one that was way more useful then expected is immich. I have over 100,000 photos I took during my life and it usually takes me DAYS to find a specific picture I need.

I installed immich and let it AI scan everything for a week or something. Now I can search for something specific like “it’s a black square in the middle of the photo and has a little knob on it” and it finds me the photo I need.

It’s also cool to see photos of people, organized by the individual by searching their name or clicking on their face.

Is this local only? No clouds reported data?

Of course it is.

You can download different models as well. For me, without a GPU, searching for example 'cat' takes a few seconds, and it is not the most accurate, but still works OK.

This is exactly why I’d want a GPU in a home server.

That and transcoding. Wonder what the best option would be without breaking the bank/wasting too much idle power. All the GPU talk online seems to be for gaming.

AFAIK intel arc gpus are pretty good for that.

I've only just set it up, mainly for the facial recognition. I had no idea that it could do that type of search too. It's going to be really helpful with my faulty brain and not remembering words 🙂

Pet detection is sorta on the roadmap for 2025... I couldn't be happier.

+1 for immich, if I didn't already know I would be doing photo backups it would have been my entry. For things "I didn't know I needed"

I think that's the last prod I needed to finally switch.
