Ask HN: Use RPi to host my photos, simple solution like umbrel?

8 points| dkn775 | 2 years ago

I want to be able to use my raspberry pi to access my media drives from in and out the house, hopefully have some other tools like network monitoring and photo galleries and iOS integration.

I liked how umbrel setup, but I am wondering if there is something less crypto focused? Umbrel used tailscale to connect which is I am fine with. Thanks.

These look very cool, I wonder if there is anything supporting rokutv to set photo wallpapers picked from my server, do you happen to know any?

Thanks.

Curious what aspects of Umbrel do you find not satisfactory? I know you said you'd like to see something less crypto focused. Is it the selection of crypto-oriented apps in the app store that you don't like to see? (And I totally get if that's the case, just trying to understand.)

Can I connect an external hdd to the pi that isn’t running umbrel and use it to host the files shared via umbrel file browser?

I recently found out about Immich and it’s been amazing. It even syncs from my iPhone. Very happy.
