Awesome stuff. I’m currently reusing my router and media device to host a file sever, radicale (contacts, calendar and tasks) and immich. All this stuff on old HDDs taken from old laptops with a usb enclosure. Get redundancy with rsyncing between drives and everything was essentially low cost. It’s not pretty or the fastest but good enough for my needs.

Netbird and zerotier servers in my router to connect my devices as I’m behind CGNAT. Essentially have contacts, calendar, tasks, files and photos all under my control. No fancy media player but don’t have time to watch films or series outside. Immich was the last step to get rid of google stored files. Good riddance.

Why both Netbird and ZeroTier? Don’t they conflict with each other?

For redundancy. In case one has issues or changes the terms and I’m kicked out. The netbird android app also seems to consume a lot of battery so I’m trialling which one is more battery efficient.

Why not just straight wireguard?

I’m behind CGNAT and wouldn’t want to expose devices to the internet.

Subscriptions? Like Unraid?

I wouldnt recommend anyone using their subscription, but the amount of people owning a perpetual licencense from before is probably higher than after.

0x0@lemmy.zip on 02 Mar 02:22 collapse

There was a company recently who shat on perpetual licenses, can’t remember which.

UxyIVrljPeRl@lemmy.world on 02 Mar 02:26 collapse

There are regularly companies doing that. My trust is low, thats why i dont recommend unraid anymore to anyone. I just wanted to point out that probably most unraid user dont pay a subsciption
