Very cool. I remember liking trains.fyi when it went around HN a while back, keep up the good work and thank you for sharing such cool projects!

My antiquated (2016 xeon quad-core) PC chugged for a while running this in Firefox (snap) on Ubuntu, and it eventually crashed while I was angling the map close to the ground. CPU cranked up to 80% on each core.

A few questions: - While angling around, it was easy to go under the map, could you set a boundary so the camera cannot go below the horizon? - Would you be able to add the ability to enter an address, so I can get a view that would be comparable to what I'd see if I stood in that same place outside? Maybe you could even add an AR element similar to the SkyMap app on Android.

selfhosted at home.

I'm using OPNsense as the main firewall/router, with the HAProxy plugin acting as reverse-proxy. Cloudflare DNS proxies my home IP address and keeps it hidden from the public, and the DDNS plugin in OPNsense updates the A record in CF when my ISP changes my public IP address every few months.

No way to do it straight from the GUI. If you get the OCC web terminal plugin, you could use a command to get recognize to scan for new files. Properly configured notify_push and cron jobs should get Recognize going within 10-15 minutes after a new file upload, but it depends on what else is in the queue and the server's processing power. The initial runs need to finish before any of this is relevant, though.

Once you get everything ingested and the initial classifications and clustering done, the process runs pretty quickly as you upload new photos.

I've been running Nextcloud in Docker with the Recognize and Memories apps for about a year and half now. It's in an off-lease refurbished Dell Precision tower from 2018.

I'm using docker compose to include some supporting containers like go-vod (for hardware transcoding), another nextcloud instance to handle push notifications to the clients, and redis (for caching). I can share some more details, foibles and pitfalls if you'd like.

I initiated a rescan last week, which stacks background jobs in a queue that gets called by cron 2 or 3 times a day. Recognize has been cranking through 10k-20k photos per day, with good results.

I've installed a desktop client on my dad's laptop so he can dump all of the family hard drives we've accumulated over the years. The client does a good job of clearing up disk space after uploading, which is a huge advantage in my setup. My dad has used the OneDrive client before, so he was able to pick up this process very quickly.

Nextcloud also has a decent mobile client that can auto-upload photos and videos, which I recently used to help my mother-in-law upload media from her 7-year-old iPhone.

I would recommend installing Proxmox on the Protectli bare metal and running pfsense (I prefer opnsense) in a VM. Then you can run your unifi controller in a container on the same device. The i3 should be able to handle that, and you can use Proxmox to share some USB drives over NFS.

I'm love/hating this idea because now I want to burn a LiveUSB running Linux with a QEMU Windows VM already set up on it. I can run it live and have Windows 10 "PE" or I can install it to a host and have Windows up and running fairly smoothly without going through the OOBE.

I've been gradually switching to Edge and I'm sure Microsoft is happy with people like me who are too scatterbrained to change the default search engine (of course now I've spent more time writing this comment than I would have making the switch)

My clients are reporting issues in the DC area as well. AWS status page says everything is up. I can get to CNN but Twitter is down.
