Jellyfin and Immich jave stayed as mainstays after like 2 dozen projects I've tried on. That and a Samba share.
How was setting up immich? Looking to expand and that seems interesting.
Give it a go, I just finished the docker with tailscale setup. Using parts of this guide from Alex from tailscale https://youtu.be/guHoZ68N3XM (for the ones saying don't post yt links, I've not seen an add in the past 6 years or so, just use revanced) 2 hickups I had to overcome: a dns issue and different gpu passthrough then jellyfin uses). Reason was unpriviliged lxc in proxmox in both cases. But I prefer an lxc in this case. Just lost 2hrs looking back at old photos, it works great! Rdy for introducing it to my non tech wife!
Pretty easy.
Beginner here. What do you mean by a Samba share? Do you mean a shared network folder? Or something more elaborate?
Yes they mean a SMB share. A type of network share that works (mostly) with Linux and windows.
do NOT open SMB to the internet. You will get crypto'd in minutes. Just a warning for any newbs coming here.
