What spec would you use for Immich?
Immich really doesn’t require much. I’m using a Synology DS923+. The only downside was my initial import of 1TB of photos took quite awhile to complete all the jobs and tasks for optimizing my library, face recognition, thumbnails, etc. Alter the initial import is done it requires almost nothing on

Wie kann ich einen USB Stick mit meiner Fritzbox verbinden, wenn die keinen USB Stecker hat?
Wenn du nur im Haus etwas freigeben willst und auf Redundanz und Fehleranfälligkeit pfeifst (ich denke, dein Rechner hat auch kein RAID zum Booten?) dann ist das komplett ausreichend und stromsparend. Wenn ich dann Daten freigeben will, einfach so oder via VPN, dann macht die das mit Usermanagement

Plex server on an Intel N150 mini PC + external USB3 Drive?
Not really, honestly. I run an N100 MiniPC hooked up to a DS923+ Synology NAS and it's been pretty trouble-free. I went the Windows route as well since I have 40 years of experience with Windows and was able to get everything up and running in an afternoon. The only annoyance is the forced Windows u

Best solution to my storage needs.
Pulled this from a chat gpt response of what you said above... The simplest “best fit” build for your numbers 4 bay NAS + 4 x 10TB or 4 x 12TB drives in RAID5 (or Synology SHR). • 4 x 10TB in RAID5 gives about 27TB usable • 4 x 12TB in RAID5 gives about 33TB usable That lands right in your 20 to 24T

Synology vs alternatives for a first, family-friendly NAS – worth it?
Besides what everyone already said here I would like to add a few things: In terms of storage I’ve been taught going for 2.5 times the storage of what you think you need. Doing some quick maths (200 gb * 3 * 2,5=1.500 GB). Always round up above so 2 tb minimum for a drive. There is no such thing as pl

First NAS for photos/video, Plex/Jellyfin, remote access & multi-user — 2-bay vs 4-bay advice?
I just finished setting up my NAS as well for similar use cases as yours. Did a ton of research and second guessing, but here’s where I ended up: Get a 4 bay NAS. It just gives you so much flexibility for your setup and future. I got the DS925+. Was planing to get DS923+ but after Synology walked ba

HDD enclosure as a shared drive
If you're not hardcore enough to build this, you're looking at buying a NAS (network attached storage). Synology is super easy but expensive. There are other manufs that offer cheaper, but I have no experience with those. I love my DS923+

Change to NAS?
Keep the beelink and get a NAS. I have a beelink like yours. The intel chip is awesome at transcoding. I have a synology ds923+ that stores all my media.

Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive ili nešto četvrto?
Synology DS923+ vrtim doma . Piknuo ga prije godinu dana. Šuti i radi. 4x20TB raid 10. Gore mi backup kompa, laptopa od cure, naših mobitela itd. Ako trebate veće HDDove preporuka za https://datablocks.dev/ Naručio i došli za 3-4 dana. EU based je.

Run services on NAS or dedicated server?
I have it as you say I have a DS923+ that had my docker containers such as plex and others, but since it doesn’t even have iGPU I built a home server with an i5-12400 which can transcode AV1 and more like a beast. I rsync all of plex-media-server data to the docker folder I created on this new pc an
