I love the fact that (until now at least) they have everything as separate services, so “stock” opencloud only does file synching tasks. Works better for me than Nextcloud the last few years.

Are you limited by compatibility on the side of the controller/appliance?

I currently run a Dell Wyse 5something, that one’s low power but passively cooled. Total silence for Home assistant and related services.

I had good results with SFF (Small Form Factor) machines, mostly Dell Optiplexes. More space inside while manageably small. Usually a lot of them around as former leasing machines.

Or go the much cheaper way of standard rig + head tracking.

Same here, separate disk mounted at /docker

Seconded. Works really well for me.

They all will do that, some more, some less. It’s to stop them from sticking in position.

Oh fantastic… That’s another 5 services to test drive.

Yeah. Unfortunately a known problem, even if the cause isn’t always clear.

I run a bunch of Nous WiFi Matter bulbs for things like nightlights and availability display, and they work very well. The Matter server is running as a docker container besides HA.

Ah, well. I only remembered something about a week.

C523 by any chance?

Possibly. Which model?

So what’s the floor here realistically, are they going to lower it to 30 days, then 14, then 2, then 1?

LE is beta-testing a 7-day validity, IIRC.

Will we need to log in every morning and expect to refresh every damn site cert we connect to soon?

No, those are expected or even required to be automated.

whereas the other options basically force you to forever use their database-based system and files are terribly organized, so you are forced to use their interface.

Immich has a “storage templates” section which allows you to choose a folder structure that it will use to store the files in.

Or go the other way and include your folders as external libraries.

Yeah, that’s not going to work. You’ll have to at least rank your requirements. Is size more important, or is it the number of RAM slots? Also, what is “enough CPU/Ram”?

Also also, “unlimited” will only get you unrealistic things like the 10k+ PCI-E SSDs.

Spamming that again?

It grew from a nice Owncloud fork into a do-it-all groupware solution by adding on more and more things without really improving the basis. Each version the performance gets a little worse, syncing gets stuck more often, etc.

Opencloud looks or at least looked good as it started out as an Owncloud Infinite Scale fork, but of course they’re adding on more and more groupware stuff without improving the core first. Maybe we’re doomed to witness the same cycle with each solution, who knows.

Currently working on moving the more family-relevant services to OIDC-based login via Pocket ID passkeys so I can put my parents on them.

Also, still on the lookout for a good Nextcloud replacement. Even Opencloud displays the first signs of feature creep.
