Probably something 7th gen Intel or newer so you can use Quicksync for transcoding on Jellyfin and HW accel on Immich for ML, face recognition, resizing, etc..

Tons of 7th/8th gen PCs pulled from offices on ebay for around $50-80, if you do some creative mounting inside a Midtower (MT) sized one you can fit a couple 3.5" drives and 2.5" SSDs.

NP! That's how I do it on proxmox, I'll start the VM every so often and update it. Only takes a few seconds to clone so it's nice and quick to do.

Simple method is just keep a ready to go VM and clone it.

Yeah it makes sense that they're good at finding similar things.

Not super reliable, one road near me is 25mph and google says it's 65mph.

It's not because they're dumb, it's because it's easy and because it's the OS a computer comes with (with the tiny exception of some systems where you can choose linux).

My sort of turning point where I stopped playing was when they added the ability to just inject skill points.

It was a much more interesting and fun game to me when there was no way around the time investment of learning skills.

You can either:

A) Use a different port, just set up the new service to run on a port that's not used by the other service.

B) If it's a TCP service use a reverse proxy and a subdomain.

It's just a YAML thing, if you do FILEBROWSER_CONFIG:"/config/config.yaml" instead it might work with quotes.

It's interesting because you're not the first person to complain about getting ISOs in Proxmox, but on my instance if I click on my local storage it has an upload ISO button, and a download ISO from URL button right there, so it's really simple.

It can also mount network storage with existing ISOs and just pull from that.

I don't use ISOs very often though, either a Debian 12 container template, or a custom Debian 12 cloud-init VM I made and backed up, so I can just hit restore and it gives me a fresh VM with new networking config and everything through cloud-init automatically.

Is it all automated with versioning intervals and stuff? Or is restic required as a third party step and maintaining a duplicate of data on the server for it to grab?

Overall it sounds like a decent VM manager but is meant for enterprise stuff where they'll be building their own backup systems.

Yeah I mean even if it was trained specifically for that, they often will still be incorrect because they don't actually understand the concepts they're presenting.
