It has always worked fine for me. The occasional upgrade process is manual but literally just a command.

Opensuse’s freaking rolling release just works. This stuff is very mature. It is just different and that scares people.

Lol an old 1070 is my gaming rig. Computers are so friggin powerful these days

It really makes me sad, jeeps used to be awesome till Chrysler started getting bought out, around 2000. It was like when the AMC 4.0 and the Chrysler 318 went, so went Jeep.

Yes, they are inefficient, and slow, that’s not the point, you could offroad in a ZJ with 250k miles on it and be ok.

Opensuse has one too. And dd exists for the brave or the foolish

You’re describing the world wide web, except giving others write access

OK 80 GB is for sure an edge case. Nextcloud won’t even work for that due to PHP memory limits, I think.

Interesting problem. FTP is an option, with careful instructions to an untutored user. Maybe rsync over a VPN connection if it is always the same sender.

Not even sure what else would reliably work, except Tannenbaum’s Adage.

Just looking through the features, things like their own VPN.

Lot of reinventing the wheel going on there. I will be interested to see how it matures.

Sending is someone else’s problem. They have all sorts of different understandings and tools and I can’t deal with them all. So the only alternative is to set them up with an account in (e.g.) Nexcloud or just accept whatever Google service they use to send you a large file.

Sending other people files is easy in Nextcloud, just create a shared link and unshare when done. Set a password on the file itself.

Got any links for howtos on this?

I dealt with a lot of time sinks like this running on consumer hardware. I got a Dell R720 and those problems all went away. Now I have a power and cooling problem. :D

Interested in this too - immich gets so much viral hype I’m a little suspicious of it

That’s such a nice feeling

I run it on BSD and just use the pkg and never have any trouble. Clients are all in the Tumbleweed repos so are the latest which I think helps. Update, run occ update and it always works fine.

Don’t forget that “may you live in interesting times” is a curse

Ive been using exim, hardly a change to my config in many years.so there is almost no point in having a webui to config. Works great. Front end with pfsense and pfblocker, add spamassassin, it is very, very, very solid once you get over the initial configuration hump. Migrate by copying the config file to the new server.

Cheaper than a car payment… By a lot. I budget about 1500 a year and just act like thats my car payment.

Thst seems like a good option. Ive got some test beds to try it out on

Yes of course. So BSD Truenas is dead? That is a True shame, as BSD is rock steady reliable and runs on truly ancient hardware just fine.
