I'm doing this with Immich as the photo storage software, MagicMirror OS on a raspberry pi, and the MMM-ImmichSlideShow module to show the pictures on an old computer monitor.
If you're new to self hosting stuff, this will be sort of difficult to get set up. If you're comfortable with the command line, config files, docker, etc, then it's worth the effort.
UltraViolet almost let you do this, but of course there was all sorts of proprietary fuckery to deal with. They shut down in 2019.
I recommend just getting either:
It doesn't have to be a "server".
That review started off promising, but then the guy starts selling it. Boo.
Same. I still keep portainer around in case I want to browse/manage images and networks from a GUI, though.
Dockge makes it so much easier to update things, though.
A kernel flatpak? That'd be interesting.
I wonder why they are still on 0.18.4. The latest Lemmy version is 0.19.5 and it has some nice features compared to 0.18.x.
Good point about the reviews. I forgot about that part.
I'm a fan of the Flatpak trend. The latest version of Linux Mint has some interesting additions to how things are presented, as far as "verified" and "not verified". Basically their app installer program lets you know if a particular Flatpak should be treated with caution, sort of like downloading a random .exe with Windows.
I recently installed Manjaro with KDE Plasma, and I'd like an easier way of getting Flatpaks out of the box with it. Their solution is to install Discover alongside their own app installer. So now I have two different GUI programs to open if I want to research something to install.
I don't plan on being back at the hospital for a while, so I guess we'll never find out!
I use a wildcard certificate, I wonder how common that is? That might be something they block, but yeah... I wonder why.
https is in the URL, yes. I agree it's weird, especially since my Lemmy instance works. It's hosted by Hetzner but all of the certificate stuff is set up the same way. It could be some sort of residential IP address filter?
Might be better to install it through Obtanium by adding this link https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-manager
