Same. It works great.

I don’t want to be too specific for opsec reasons. But windows 10 is the OS. OFX aka OpenFX.
I’m familiar with Proxmox, virtualbox, and KVM/KVM manager.
If I want to set up a PC to virtualize multiple operating systems, but with the feel of a multiboot system, what virtualization software would you suggest?
My goal is for the closest I can get to a multiboot system (windows, Debian, fedora) but virtualized so I can make snapshots. It should feel like I’m on baremetal when inside the VM.
Virtualbox is clunky with lots of pesky UI cluttering the screen and Proxmox doesn’t seem great for this use case.
Most important term to research regarding arr apps is “hardlinking”. Make sure you have your apps configur ed with hardlinks. Everything else is pretty easy and self explanatory.
I replaced the drives, installed the newest version of PVE, then restored all of my VMs from local USB backup. I had to reconfigure a number of things such as HDD pass through and other network settings, but in the end the migration was a success.
I don’t work in IT at all. My self hosting journey started when I got sick of feeling powerless in the face of big tech companies who are increasingly ripping off customers or violating their right to privacy. There’s also the general mistrust that comes from my data being repeatedly breached or leaked because share holder profits are more important than investing in basic security.
When I say local I mean automated PVE backups the same as it would be through PBS. If that makes any difference.
I have a remote pbs but the backups aren’t current because there was a connection error. I have Proxmox backups locally to a USB thumbdrive. That’s what I was going to restore from.
So I use Fusion360 for the technical building of components; framing, drywall, cabinets.
I export this to 3dsmax and flesh it out for archviz. Rendering with V-ray.
Unfortunately there aren’t any good options for pirating either of these softwares.
3dsmax and vray also have very steep learning curves.
There are also better alternatives than Fusion360 which include BIM features, but they’re insanely expensive unless you own a profitable architecture firm.
This is the way. Frigate just had a major update and the UI is now amazing.
Appreciate the thorough reply. Mind sharing which service you used to download your Spotify tracks?
I feel you but I’ve already got curated playlists of over 3,000 songs me and friends have spent a few years putting together. I actually don’t mind the idea of pulling each artists whole disco as lidarr does. My current roadblock is the lack of good resources/tools that automate the process.
Is there a way to automate downloads? As mentioned in my original post I’m hoping to essentially mirror a few Spotify playlists and have my server automatically download either all of the songs on the playlist or all of the songs by the artists appearing on the playlists.
Yeah I think we’re talking about the same thing. Got any guidance on how you set that up?
I would say pretty secure. Of course, I would ensure all of the proper firewall, app pins, 2FA are in place in case my phone was ever compromised.
I’m already accessing all of the services now over the web with authentication. This new configuration would shift thos services from being public to only devices on my private mesh network with the proper certificates.
Yep. The models I have don’t have motion detection.
You can probably find a visual walkthrough of the GUI by searching youtube.
There’s a login page. After you authenticate, there’s a live view page, a review/recordings page if you are recording to SD card in camera, and a few settings pages.
I’d say you could absolutely access the camera standalone, but at least the cameras I have don’t do any detection or notifications. That’s where the NVR comes in. I know reolink has cameras that do all of the above including AI detection.
I know you’re in zigbee, but I’ve tested many different wall switches and IMO Zooz Zwave switches are the best option.
They’re cheap, reliable, and most importantly don’t cause LED lights to flicker like every other brand I’ve tested. They also have replaceable paddles so you can change the color of the paddles. I purchased black paddles and used a sand blaster to make them matte like the rest of the outlets and plates around my apartment.
Inovelli is also great however those switches are overkill for most situations and very pricey.
I use a bunch of Amcrest PoE cameras. None with PTZ though. I run them to a dedicated box running frigatenvr. From there I allow access from Homeassistant with the frigate integration.
IP cameras allow you to access the device via web gui where you can view and configure the camera for your needs. Once I’ve set them up I only ever access them again through frigate.
I was in your position recently and decided to install PVE from scratch and restore VMs from backup.
I had a fairly complex PVE config so it took some additional work to get everything up and running. But it was absolutely worth it.
