That's our secret Raid, we don't want to win.

That's interesting, thanks for sharing! :) I will try it out, as soon as I will have the will to update all my configs with the new app password. Amazing news tough!

Thanks both for the details, I'll keep everything in mind! Do you have any brand or models you would recommend for your experience? I took a look around and I think I will skip it for now as it will increase my budget a bit more than I want, but I'll go back to it in the future.

Thanks for the answer! Absolutely, as I said in another comment I don't think I can push more than 4tb with the inside drive. I found a crucial ssd for that size at a relatively reasonable price (~260€), I might just wait a little bit to increase the budget and go with that and don't worry about it for a while

No worries! I think I got what you meant, just wanted to make sure. I agree with you to separate storage from apps and systems, in this way if something goes wrong with the main drive (I think) I should also be able to restore the system and not lose any downloaded media or data.

You are correct about the IP address (searxng uses the IP of the instance) but aren't metadata stripped or am I reading this wrong? https://docs.searxng.org/own-instance.html#how-does-searxng-protect-privacy

Thanks! I was planning to add a backup storage at one point, I'll probably think about this option then :)

Thanks for the detailed answer! :) Indeed, I read that I would be limited in storage size if choosing the internal option. That said I am not sure I will be using more than 4tb in the next months, considering also that I don't have the need for 4k videos at the moment. Would it be a "waste" to just go for an internal ssd to start, and then upgrade to a larger hdd (external) in the future?

Also, sorry just to clarify, when you say

Make sure you’re not writing logs or anything like that to it, it should be on demand use only

Does downloading media to the drive still counts as a viable thing to do? And I guess the on demand use would be e.g. streaming.

 

Hi all,

Quite excited for my first post here and for being able to join the club :)

I recently bought a Beelink Mini S12 Pro and put Debian on it. I did use yunohost for over a year and I experimented with basic nginx, fail2ban etc. on a vps but I can't call myself an expert around these things. For this reason I installed casa-os to ease my way into docker (maybe in the future I will do everything DIY, I do like the idea). I put everything behind tailscale to be able to access the server outside my home.

My idea is to have a media server (radarr and sonarr for movies and tv shows, plus navidrome for my music collection) and some other niceties like audiobookshelf and maybe immich. I still need to learn most things about the arr stack, transcoding and such, so I don't have any rush.

However, for all these things, I definitely need a larger drive, since the mini pc comes with a 512gb internal ssd.

The S12 also has a 2.5" drive bay (SATA3), but should I go for an internal drive or an external one connected via USB?

Things I am worried about the internal solution is mostly temperatures, everything is so clumped in there and I read some stories about faulty hardware basically heating the sata ssd to death after a while. On the other hand, usb connection is maybe less "stable"? I don't know. Also, if I go with SATA drive, should I go for ssd or hdd? I don't have too much budget to invest right now, so cost is somewhat a limit at the moment.

Seeking any advice here and happy to hear more expert people opinion on this, thanks! :)

Uh, nice thanks for sharing! I was using Notesnook but I will happily try this too

Another mailbox.org user here. I did the same switch as @[email protected] around the same time and I can highly recommend as well. Setting up custom domains is also not hard and well documented in their knowledge-base. I am also using it for calendars and contacts with no issues at all. A plus of their premium (3€/month) plan, apart from custom domains, is that you have access to a series of other things (appointments, videoconferencing etc.) which are a nice thing to have if you need them (as an occasional teacher in academia I enjoyed having the options, especially since I could avoid Google/Microsoft stuff).

The only annoying thing is how they handle 2fa login on their website. I rarely need to login, but when I do I always suffer.
