Selfhosting is useful when you either need a lot of storage or a lot of processing power. For example, Kiwix is useful to selfhost on a server because a lot of its content can take up terabytes of storage, which a phone may not have. LLMs are also useful to selfhost because they require a degree of processing power that, again, a phone may not have.

In both cases, there is also a need for perpetual access. If you simply hosted an LLM on your home computer, it wouldn't be very useful to access from your phone since your computer won't be running all the time. So, a separate always-on server is needed.

However, t

Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a (ideally) FOSS app that can help me transfer a large amount of files between mobile devices. The exact scenario I'm trying to solve for is transferring large amount of pictures and videos from a family member's iPhone to my Android mobile phone.

I've tried a few solutions (see below list) but they all had some short coming or issue. I would ideally love something that has a mobile app that can be installed, but that's only because in my experience mobile web browsers tend to timeout / hang when dealing with a large number of file uploads at once.

• Filerun - Filerun worked the best in my testing and, if there are no other suggestions, I'll probably return to this one, despite it not being FOSS.
• Pingvin - Worked the next best, but would time out more frequently than Filerun. As long as I would batch the upload to only a few hundred pictures at a time and

Dear fellow selfhosters,

If you use immich and have a digital camera that shoots JPG+RAW, you must have noticed the duplicate images taking up your screen space. I recently found out that immich has a neat feature called stacking where you can group images in the timeline. I wrote a very simple Python script to search and stack the JPG and RAW images in my instance and thought I would share it with the community. Make sure you edit the search parameters and API key and also read the whole script before running it.

For advanced immich stacking use this https://github.com/tenekev/immich-auto-stack

NOTE: I did not know this project existed before I wrote the script :)

Happy Holidays..

Hi, everyone!

For several years, I've relied on NextCloud as a substitute for Google services. The time has come to say goodbye and move on in life. I've decided to replace my NextCloud instance with separate services for files, calendar, photos, notes, and to-do lists.

I've already found alternatives for all services, except for the calendar.

Does anyone have experience with FOSS projects that would allow me to self-host a calendar? I'm looking for something that supports CalDAV, has its own (pretty) user interface (webui), caters to multiple users, and supports multiple calendars.

And if anyone is interested in the alternatives I've found for each NextCloud component, here's the list:

NextCloud Files -> File Browser NextCloud Notes -> Joplin NextCloud Photos -> Immich NextCloud Tasks -> Vikunja NextCloud Calendar -> ???___

Edit:

In the end, I used [Radicale](https://radic

I got immich with SSO up and running. It runs like a dream compared to Photoprism and is simple enough for me, but also has necessary features like user accounts.

There is one thing I couldn't find in the docs:

I already have a library of 5000 photos and 150 videos on my server that sync to my phone with Syncthing to 4 different directories (one for each phone I took the photos on) in Immich. Right now I have that directory as an external library, but I don't think this is the "right way."

My goal:

• No duplicates between phone app and desktop app
• Don't have to re-upload every image from my phone as my network is 100/30 mbps
• Am able to manage my photos from the Immich app and web app (deleting photos that will propagate between devices)

Can I just map the "Upload" folder to that syncthing photo base folder and get parity between my phone and my server? Or do I have to re-upload everything from my phone? Or am I waiting for a feature that doesn't quite exist yet? I noticed som

• I tried to bring up an immich server on a cloud provider server with docker, which is successful, but I'd like to organize multiple services into locations under the top level domain, which is a duckdns.org domain with nginx reverse proxy.
• So I'd like to reach immich under "https://something.duckdns.org/immich/", but I can't seem to make it work, because if I load it, it redirects me to "https://something.duckdns.org/auth/login" (so it uses the top level, not relative to the /immich location)
• If I manually change it to "https://something.duckdns.org/immich/auth/login" the page loads, but it shows an error message "Unable to connect"
• If I put it under the / location, it works, but I don't want that
• Do I need to change something in the docker compose yaml or the .env files to make it work?
• Or is my nginx config messed up?
• On my home server I was able to successfuly set up multiple services in a similar way, I just can't make it work

I would like to try Immich and at the same time I am already using Nextcloud to sync all my photos from my phone. Is there a way to keep my photos on Nextcloud?
