A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Just upgraded from 10.10. Seems to have gone well. Library scan still going.

E: Couldn't finish lib scan. Reverted to 10.10.

10.11 first library scan will take AGES because of the new db changes or something. My library is huge (~100tb of media) and it took days. Subsequent scans are much faster, like 10-12 minutes on 10th gen Xeon (roughly i5 equivalent) for a full library scan.

Wow.

Ok, I don't have anywhere near that amount of media, but MythTV takes seconds to rescan ~2TB of videos and maybe a minute to get any missing details like fanart, etc.

Similar amount for music - but I feed it the files after I've run them through Picard.

I've not done a complete rescan of eveything for ages, but from memory it's like an hour absolute tops. More like ~30 mins.

And that's on an underclocked CPU (for quietness).

I found the link

“Library scans are expected to take (way) longer in 10.11 because we are now a) properly validating all existing data and b) properly applying concurrency limits. Usually only the first scan after the upgrade takes significantly longer because it will fix some data inconsistencies we can not repair while doing the initial migrations. Any subsequent scan should be faster but if you add a lot of new files it will still take longer than before because of the concurrency limit.”

From the thread for people with more realistic media libraries like yours (5-20tb) the initial scan is more like a few hours. However, if you’re like me and hoard shit expect it to potentially take days
