First thing, disable all auto backup on your phone. This is step 1 for anything.
I did, but turns out, it either did not save the setting or has more than one place to deactivate. I tried again and after turning backups off, there was an option to delete all backups from the cloud, wich I did after saving the photos to my pc and I got back some space. Thanks for your help.
I made a backup from my phone. When I tried logging out of Gphotos, the app did not show any photos at all, so I guess I assumed that there are currently no local photos. I was wrong. I just made a backup and found a "delete photos backup from cloud" button and it worked. Thanks.
edit: Also, my second child was born a week ago, so my brain probably/obviously suffers from too little sleep.
My research has been on surface level, but immich was one I was looking at. I'd like to try something without payment, but in the end, a safe place for all my kids photos would be worth it I guess.
Yeah, I tend to do that and you're probably right.
Was just talking with a coworker and maybe I'll just start with saving images and backing them up to AWS glacier or some other cheap cloud storage. That way my data is safe in case I fuck up my setup.
After reading about proxmox, I decided to go with containers and smaller, specialized services first, as getting to know container stuff is one of my goals for a homelab.
When it's streaming ready probably a bit more. But I guess I'm gonna be tinkering for a bit as suggested in other replies and build stuff successively. So for document and image storage it'll be idling most of the time.
Well, thats a lot to concern, and some points, I can probably not check in the nearer future (like the router beeing my own and not my ISPs. I am bound to the Router by contract. But I will keep that in mind. This made my "look into" list a lot longer :D
I've got my hands on an older Zotac nano that, according to the specs, has idle consumption of 6W. I think thats as good as it gets for a decent budget.
You could listen to some Street Epistemology stuff, especially Anthony Magnabosco. Theres many questions that kept me thinking for days about my own views.
It has been slow and doing weird stuff for years now. It's first or second edition so it is quite old. I don't know if a battery change will fix getting stuck in boot screen.
There's no need. Zen exists on Linux and works just fine.
