I plan to use Surveillance Station in my Synology NAS.
Two PoE cameras on their own physical network. Everything is laying in the closet still as life just gets in the way, but hopefully it will be done this winter or spring.
I also have a Eufy 2k Doorbell camera with a hub for local storage.
None of it is for actual protection though, as burglaries are rare here. It's only because I love tech and to capture interesting moments. I also plan on making time lapses because they are cool.
Glad to hear you enjoy it!
Halt and catch fire. Expected nothing from it but we are really enjoying it.
No worries, mate. The offer stands if you want it.
Have a great new year!
I'm by no means an expert in Linux, but my best advice for someone finding docker complicated is to run Portainer.
It's made my Docker-life so much easier, especially if you run stacks with compose files. It's all graphical via the browser interface.
Need to make a change to to one of your containers?
Change the compose file (which stays exactly like you pasted it originally) in Portainer and re-deploy.
Need to update the container?
Click update and it re-deploys with the newest image.
Want to stop a container?
Just click stop.
The first thing I've done on all my small servers is to get the Docker Daemon running with CLI in the terminal, install Portainer and do everything else there.
So if you're dumb, then I'm dumb too, and it's not very nice to call people you don't know dumb, now is it...!?
Honestly, feel free to ask if you find the motivation to give it another crack and need some help. It's made me go from hating Docker to absolutely loving it.
I agree.
It's easy to forget how much time and dedication running a custom setup can cost, and that quickly drains whatever wife-acceptance-factor you had left.
Think of paying for a pre-built NAS less as just overpriced HW, but more as great software features that work out of the box and a dev team improving functionality for you every day.
It can host a plethora of containers with ease on the side anyways, and if you need something specific that requires more juice: build that on the side and tinker with it.
N100 mini-PC for instance can host anything but heavy game servers for <15W.
Except Norway, where 3-phase IT is still dominant. TN is only being built in newly established buildings/areas.
IT being phase/phase = 230V, with no neutral wire.
Upside is it being more robust to ground faults, but you lose 11/22 kW possibility on EV chargers. 7,2 kW is max (32A @ 230V).
Looking forward to it being gone, tbh…
Sh.itjust.works has been brilliant, tbh.
High uptime, reasonable admins.
Very happy with it
Great gift!
Snag som GelBoxes as well, then you can use them for stuff outside as well
We seem to have followed a similar path, but I am quite satisfied. I do have a family though, so maybe that’s what does it….
It sucked making sacrifices in my 20’s, but looking at where I landed, I would not change it if I could. Would you?
Don’t get me wrong; We are nowhere close to rich, but we managed to buy a decent house and not having to wory about the price of groceries and the bills every month, and that’s all we really need.
Early 30’s for reference.
Yeah I'm not a fan. Used to install them, but we had so many issues.
In some houses, if they turned on a heavy load like a washing machine or dish washer, the internet capitulated conpletely.
I always recommend a better router over HomePlug.
Modems/routers from ISP's are often cheap crap anyways, so just invest in a decent Asus/Netgear/TP-Link and it should be a lot better. Stay away from overpriced gaming versions. A 3 antenna router for 100€ will run probably circles around what OP has and be a lot more configurable.
If money is not issue and the house is big; consider a semi decent mesh. I am super happy with the XT8 from Asus.
Several villages liberated in the Donetsk oblast.
Hopefully the first major update of many.
I'd probably go for a small N100 mini-PC.
Should be plenty powerful for what you need, very low wattage and relatively trivial to get GPU pass through in Proxmox. Alternatively one of the more powerful versions.
This depends on how many cameras, resolution and frequency of course, but you should be able to see if others with similar setups have it running smoothly. You'd be limited on storage, but can set up NFS to your NAS or existing server.
