  • For private use? Hot take, but Arch. It's easy to maintain and not easy to break at all. I think I spend zero time on maintenance other than running package updates. I only reinstall when I get a new computer.

    (I say for private use only because you'll be getting weird looks from people if you use arch on a server in a professional setting, and it might break if you try to update it after five years of not doing it since there aren't any "releases" to group big changes - in practice I run arch on my home server too with no issues)

  • CalDav integration with caching?
  • Interesting, so I guess those API-calls are just fetching the cached calendar on my HA Yellow. Wonder why it's so slow, but I guess there's not much to do about that then. :(

  • CalDav integration with caching?
  • Not exactly. My main use-case here is for my girlfriend and me to see each both of our calendars in one place, and HA had support for it and is a web portal we both have access to. To do automations on them is secondary.

    Currently, whenever I look at the calendar control panel it will load for a bit while pulling all the calendars, and sometimes timeout and not show anything. I believe this to be because it's pulling from Fastmail / iCloud everytime and might be rate limited or just have a poor connection, this wouldn't be an issue if the calendars were stored on the instance itself because then it would only miss the latest entries.

    The idea that maybe I can self-host an app that does it is that if HA can't do the caching, then maybe this self-hosted app can and it wouldn't matter that HA fetches it remotely each time since the remote is on the same local network. Having them as separate calendars is still desirable since that gives some additional information.

  • CalDav integration with caching?

    I have three different calendars syncing using caldav, one on fastmail and two on icloud. When I open the calendar view it's often the case that one or more of these timeout (all of them are afflicted by this), so it seems that these calendars are not actually stored on the server but polled everytime I want to view them.

    Are there any alternative integrations that will periodically sync the calendars and keep them on the server? Or can I self-host an app that does this and will never time out because it's on my local network?

  • Is immich in a usable state yet?

I kind of avoided immich due to the repo saying it's under very active development (#scary).

    Best solution for a distributed filesystem?

    Not sure if this is better fit for datahoarder or some selfhost community, but putting my money on this one.

    The problem

    I currently have a cute little server with two drives connected to it running a few different services (mostly media serving and torrents). The key facts here is that 1) it's cute and little, 2) it's handling pretty bulky data. Cute and little doesn't go very well with big raid setups and such, and apart from upgrading one of the drives I'm probably at my limit in terms of how much storage I can physically fit in the machine. Also if I want to reinstall it or something that's very difficult to do without downtime since I'd have to move the drive and services of to a different machine (not a huge problem since I'm the only one using it, but I don't like it).

    Solution

    A distributed FS would definitely solve the issue of physically fitting more drives into the chassi, since I could basically just connect drives to a raspberry pi and have this raspi join the distributed fs. Great.

    I think it could also solve the issue of potential downtime if I reinstall or do maintenance, since I can have multiple services read of the same distributed FS and reroute my reverse proxy to use the new services while the old ones are taken offline. There will potentially be a disruption, but no downtime.

    Candidates

    I know there are many different solutions for distributed filesystems, such as ceph, moosefs, glusterfs and miniio. I'm kinda leaning towards ceph because of it's integration in proxmox, but it also seems like the most complicated solution in the bunch. Is it worth it? What are your experiences with these, and given the above description of my use-case which do you think would be the best fit?

    Since I already have a lot of data it's a bonus if it's easy to migrate from my current filesystem somehow.

    My current setup uses a lot of hard links as well, so it's a big bonus if the solution has something similar (i.e. some easy way of storing the same data in multiple places without duplicating it)
