The server is now in its permanent home and it’s a lot tidier than what it replaced!

After a disaster with one of the drives (my own fault) I am having to restore all my movies and audiobooks from the offsite storage, but other than that it’s running fine

Need to restore the Foundry VTT VM, which so far is pretty interesting, and Mealie

Ich baue mein #Homelab momentan neu auf – neue Hardware, neuer Software-Stack. Wenn du Lust hast mitzulesen:

Ich versuche, alles Relevante in meinem Blog festzuhalten – von der Hardware über #dyndns #Traefik und #Headscale als Mesh-VPN bis hin zur Passkey-Integration.

Schau gerne mal rein!

I am running #PhotoPrism on a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB of RAM, using a 1TB SSD as the main and only drive, using the Pimoroni NVMe Base.

So far, I could not properly measure the performance, because I don’t know how to do it, but I am satisfied! Yet, this is definitely not a future-proof solution, since I need way more storage: I still haven’t imported most of my pictures there, and I need to prepare for plenty more to come.

The simplest (yet quite pricey, 261£) option would be to get a Pimoroni NVMe Duo and maximize it with a total of 4TB NVMe SSDs.

I think this is not optimal, though, and probably I could be spending all that money much better… Do you have any advice?

The thing about hosting a personal media gallery is that it requires a lot of resources when indexing the pictures (so only when you add new ones), then it’s super light—correct me if I am wrong, @photoprism. Hence, I’m thinking the best would be an extensible solution where I can add many HDDs and SSDs, without being forced to pump up the other specs too. I would probably be using just one NVMe SSD for the software and the database, and then save everything else in high-performance HDDs, since they are getting cheap and I can get much more storage with less money—of course I am performing a daily backup off-site, as they are more likely to fail, too.

If I am 100% sure that whatever I end up choosing will be solid for many years to come, I am willing to consider spending a bit more on it.
