It’s similar to the story about a lady that spent 24 hours a day recording live stuff to VHS from tv channels in the 80’s onwards. Turns out a lot of it was never saved by the broadcasters. She had some of it on literally thousands of tapes. Apparently she had like 6 recordings going on in parallell, all the time. Spending a lot of her time switching out tapes…

I guess you could call her an analogue horder? :)

It actually automatically tracked every container on my local docker host by default on install. But you need to configure the notifications and the triggers for more granularity. Very nice!

Google 3-2-1 backup and and make it happen, and you will be resonably safe without going overboard. If you haven’t got a NAS yet, I would suggest at least a cheap one as primary storage.

I just find new great software to tinker with every day on this sub. Luckliy I am on sickleave and have plenty of time. Othervise this sub is anxeity inducing 🤓

If you want to track docker images, I just found ”What’s up docker” and am using it as we speak :)

I think that was the longest feature list I have ever seen! 😁This looks more complete then any of the other popular ones. Do you agree?

Get any Synology plus model (the non-plus ones are too weak to anything other then serving files) and then go to mariushosting and read up on how to specifically do everything you need to run a long list of self-hosted software (on docker) for Synology. There are detailed step-by-step intructions on everything you need, including deploying paperless-ngx on your NAS.

If you feel it’s something you will be able to do, just buy it and get started.

That’s why I pay for some streaming services but never actually use them to watch shows. If you know what I mean? ;)

I did as well last week. And I am in love. I’m still conservative on what I download and specifically what I subcribe to. But the process is now sooooo much easier compared to the manual labour I did before (and have for five years). Maybe my top docker app install this year!

That’s impressive. Only ones that has been removed, or in total?

It’s annoying when you know they where there at some point and you just never got to them. At least they actually published som classic games on YT during the pandemic and most (all?) of them are still there. I have archived them of course :)

And the grown up version of that is /r/tubearchivist (it also includes a plugin to sync to Jellyfin).

I (finally!) installed Tube Archivist last week and went through my library of already archived YT videos and saved them manually in TA (it’s the easiest way if you haven’t saved the metadata to go with the video, which I hadn’t for the oldest videos). Out of almost 1000 videos over five years or so, maybe 5% have gone private or is gone from YT. And it was mostly videos I really wanted to keep. Now comes the dirty work of trying to find the metadata for those missing videos since I do have them locally. I have done some research around how to do it, but if anyone has actually figured it out it would be nice to know!

FYI: I read this while pooping :)

You might want to add what you are planning to run it on?

Tube Archivist. It’s perfect for that. Your kids don’t even need to know Youtube exists. I just installed it and imported years of downloaded YT videos. The search engine finds anything in milliseconds!

Add another mini PC off of ebay and you are golden. I’m running most of this on a Synology NAS with a much weaker CPU. It is not quick but OK. Unless you want to add much more than this it will be just fine.

I did not know this feature existed. On to creating a separate gmail for my services!

Some kind of photo management and backup system. I never went the Google Photos route and am now very happy with using Synology Photos and doing backups of my entire diigital life with Synology Hyperbackup. Works great even when NOT exposing it to the internet.

And of course Jellyfin for media streaming.
