Does lemmy have any communities dedicated to archiving/hoarding data?

    Just built one of those using Dietpi as the OS and NVME M.2 for the storage. I have many different ZIMs and running different services and only using about 270GB.

    Works great for offline use. Probably should add an ISO or 2 as well.

      What other services are you running?

      @[email protected] asked what else I was running in a sibling comment to yours and I didn’t have an answer because I’m not… yet : )

        DietPi makes it dead simple to run most of these things as their “software suite” is pretty robust and simple to setup.

        For “user facing” applications:

        • Homer Dashboard as the landing page when going to the .local address in a browser
        • Kiwix for the ZIMs
        • Hedgedoc for personal note taking/wiki
        • Lychee photos for a very lightweight photo album maker/viewer for keepsake photos.

        For “admin side” stuff:

        • Portainer to manage the containers/stacks
        • Watchtower to auto-update the containers while they’re still network connected
        • Transmission daemonized to download and seed the ZIMs or anything else non-pirate related
        • Use jojo2357’s ZIM updater to auto-update ZIMs via cron job while they’re still network connected
        • DietPi-Dashboard as an all-in-one dashboard to monitor and control the RPi from a web interface. (Yeah I know I can do everything SSH’ing in but I’m lazy.)
        • File Browser just in case I want other people to have access to files but since it’s in maintenance mode and I’m unsure I want others to have access, might strip it out

        I try to use containers from LinuxServer.io whenever possible. Mostly just cause it’s what I do on my main server.

        I’m still looking at adding/removing things as I get more time to sit down but I’m pretty happy with it’s current state.
