People have been trying to reinvent the million dollar homepage for the last 20 years, to no avail.

Realistically, that era of the internet is over and I can’t say this brings anything novel enough to break through. With that said, scaling and UX are kinda moot points.

    I personally have a K3S cluster I host at home and an auto-scaled cluster in Hetzner. I see different use cases and am happy to have both.

    One thing to mention is that you can also run your own tunnel with something like pangolin on a VPS (CX23 is plenty). Thus, you could have a cheaper could bill if you wanted a hybrid setup.

    Also, I highly recommend moving your node to a data center closer to home.

    I’m running Immich on an old ThinkCentre with the default feature set. Currently looking at:

    • Server: 1.4 GB
    • ML: 288 MB
    • Valkey: 8 MB
    • Postgres: ~500 MB

    There is a bit more overhead for the control plane and cloud-native PG operator/backup pods but my instance fits comfortably inside a ~4GB allocation.

    It’s probably just that I got used to it with XFCE at some point. My main two concerns:

    • I love having the path in the navbar (and not have to Ctrl-L)
    • I don’t like having devices tucked behind “Other Locations” rather than in the sidebar

    Otherwise, I find Nautilus much more aesthetically pleasing.

    I would go with 16GB for the kinds of things you listed.

    If you don’t need a 3.5in drive then I would go even smaller to a mini form factor. It will definitely save you money on electricity. I think it’s the main choice here.

    I would go for refurb, business line SFF machines. Something like ThinkCentre or Optiplex. Specific form factor based on drive needs but the smaller you go the more power efficient. I have one on the bigger side (internal psu) that runs about 12W idle.

    Just double check that it can handle hardware transcoding. Should fit right in your budget!
