What document management solution are you using? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah, jellyfin is more on the consuming side of the stacks. I have NextCloud that does most of the uploading/synching business, getting photos from my phones or tablets or laptop; qbittorrent for taking movies around and put in on the disk, etc.

Eventually all those data would be on a directory on the computer disk and that's where the consuming side starts.

It really does not have to be Jellyfin that does the photos job, but it's already there for music and movies and photo display seems decent. Of course I'm still experimenting (atm trying also Photoprism) so if there's a better option, please feel free to recommend.

I'd honestly prefer something web-based with phone apps. I'll rather be careful with volume mounting and make additional copies of files, including cloud backup, to avoid data loss.

What document management solution are you using? (alien.top)
 

So I'm setting up a home server for personal purposes, among which, storing personal documents/files.. accumulated over the years is now my next target. I've already had:

- Nextcloud to upload/sync files from my mobile devices

- Calibre to manage ebooks, magazines

- Jellyfin to manage multimedia files, including photos

I'm looking for a solution to upload/manage documents. Could be my Ids, could be my rental contract, or recovery passphrases for my accounts, etc.

There are a lot that can be found from here:

https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#document-management---integrated-library-systems-ils

But I'd love to get real experience and advice. Something that can run with docker and maybe, probably integrate nicely with the rest of the above stuff.

How did you choose/config disk for your self hosted storage solution? (alien.top)
 

Okay, so I've have a mini pc running 24/7 as a server. I have set up, among the other things, nextcloud and jellyfin. The pc has 1TB SSD built-in, which should be enough for basic use and storage (books, photos, personal papers). But I'm not becoming more greedy and thinking maybe 1Tb will not be enough, soon, if I want to store, say, blue ray movies, or copy of years of data that are in different clouds, or data lying in several portable drives.

NAS would be slightly overkill I'd say. I'm thinking of something more affordable. Could be another SSD (2TB?) to plug into a spare sata of the mini pc, or 2tb/4tb/8tb connected via usb3. What's recommended speed if hdd: 5400 or 7200rpm, or more? (I'm learning towards 5k4 as I heard it's less heat, thus less power consuming and lasts longer). Capacity & durability over performance (got a 3TB ssd in my gaming pc for that ;)).
