I'm new to selfhosting and I find myself rarely using the server, only when I need to retrieve a document or something.

I was thinking of implementing something to make it power on, on demand, but I'm not sure if this might be harmful for the HDDs, and I'm not sure how to implment it if so.

What's your recommendation to do so? I'm running a dell optiplex 3050

I would like to have a central Calendar that I could sync everything to it, from my email calendars and my to do list, is there something like that selfhosted or not, that is FOSS?

I would like new images to be uploaded to Immich from my phone and deleted after 30 days automatically, so I was thinking about this flow:

1. I will Sync files to the server using Syncthing

2. I will Copy files from the Synced folder to an Immich Consume folder, (not sure how to copy only new files (maybe use created date)). Then delete images that are older than 30 days which will remove them from my phone.

3. I will upload to Immich using Immich CLI (?) which will use the delete after upload flag.

Basically:  

(1)

Camera, Screenshots, etc =Syncthing=> SyncthingImageConsume/{Folder}

(2)

{Script on SyncthingImageConsume}

SyncthingImageConsume/{Folder} =CopyNewFiles=> ImmichConsume/{Folder}

Then delete older than 30 days.

(3)

{Script on ImmichConsume}

Upload to immich and then delete

would this work? and is there a better way to do it? any tips?

Edit: Solution is in Nginx I disabled these: Cache Assets, Block Common Exploits, Websockets Support.

I can login using the local IP 192.168.1.2:9101, but when I route that with Nginx, It won't.

I have the GUI listen address as : 0.0.0.0:9101

I've been googling for hours but I can't find anything, In browser console it says

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 ()

syncthing.my.domain.com/:1  Refused to execute script from 'https://syncthing.my.domain.com/meta.js' because its MIME type ('text/plain') is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled.

I spent all day today trying to get the routing to work correctly between Tailscale, Nginx and Adguard.

Basically I wanted to be able to be able to use **http://immich.network ** to route to 192.168.1.2:9000

I wanted to share the steps I took so people don't have to go through what I did.

First a few things Local Server IP: 192.168.1.2

1. I installed Ngnix and Adguard, in a Docker Containers, and gave Adguard IPs 3000, 3001 instead of 80 and 443 because Ngnix took it.
2. I went to my router and made it use the DNS: 192.168.1.2
3. I configured Proxy Host in Ngnix ..... immich.network => 192.168.1.2:9000
4. I configured DNS rewrite in Adguard .... *.network => 192.168.1.2

At this point I was able to use http://immich.network finally. I installed Tailscale to be able to access when I'm outside but http://immich.network didn't work.

These helped me https://tailscale.com/kb/1019/subnets + https://tailscale.com/kb/1054/dns?q=global+nameserver

5. I created a subnet..... tailscale up --advertise-routes=192.168.1.0/24
6. I approved it on Tailscale login

At this point I was able to access home server using its local IP 192.168.1.2 but I couldn't get http://immich.network to work.

7. I created a nameserver dns with split DNS but I used my local ip.. 192.168.1.2 => network

Finally everything is working.. I have a feeling that I'm doing it wrong but I'm too tired and it's finally working.

Hello, I'm planning on creating a home server and getting some cameras.

I would like to have the server, cameras and all IOT devices be disconnected from the internet but still be able to access them within the house from different devices and maybe have limited access to them when outside.

Do I need a specific hardware for this? And what router would support this? I'm still in the planning phase but I'm looking for budget friendly solutions.

Thank you
