That’s good to know, thanks :)

I’ve got a few services running on my aging media server, so I want to start doing it properly, and getting a proper home sever going. I’ve used ssh for some of the basics in the past, but I need to start using that more too :)

I’ve only just set it up, mainly for the facial recognition. I had no idea that it could do that type of search too. It’s going to be really helpful with my faulty brain and not remembering words 🙂

The team are helpful too, and helped me with a question when I set it up 🙂

If it’s anything like my server, it’s in the same room, but only connected to the power and network. You can open and close the drive, but it doesn’t have a keyboard, mouse, or monitor 👍

Thanks 🙂

Thank you 🙂

Immich on its own looks good, but if I set it up, I think I’ll definitely install lightGallery to go with it 🙂

You can see [a live demo here](https://immich-demo.note.sx/share/ffSw63qnIYMtpmg0RNvOui0Dpio7BbxsObjvH8YZaobIjIAzl5n7zTX5d6EDHdOYEvo), which is serving a gallery straight out of my own Immich instance.

Sorry, off topic, but is this what Immich looks like out of the box, or have you used any other plugins?

Immich Public Proxy looks like exactly what I want for my family photos, but I haven’t looked into Immich yet. The demo looks beautiful, and is simple enough for the grandparents to use 🙂

I like the idea of Retroarch, but the support is appallingly bad. Every time I’ve tried to set it up, I’ve run into some sort of problem, and the support just isn’t there.

The last time I tried it, I was using a wireless PS3 controller as my main controller, and a SNES type pad as the second. No matter how I set it up, plugging in the SNES pad when Retroarch was running would scramble the PS3 pad. It would stay like that until I reconfigured it. I asked for help on the Reddit sub and got one answer with the link to the setup guide, and got massively downvoted.

Until the support is there, it’s not worth wasting my time.

wanted a new laptop for a while anyways 😋

Always the best reason 😁

Why not just repair the hinges?

I’ll look into that, thanks :)

Thanks :)

Any idea how it compares to Synology Photos?

You can use any computer as a server, you just have to realise that low powered computers will be able to do less than something more powerful.

As you get into it more, you might find that you need better hardware, or more network ports etc., but most of us would probably be ok with a decent PC.
