Cool. Hope to print one later. Last week I have been searching for exactly this and could not find it. Did you think about an option for adding some simple dividers inside the box?

My setup is pretty much option 1, I have no issues with it. You can easly mount NFS shares as docker volumes (I m docking that for jellyfin and nextclould) but you need to get the permissons right. But I am no expert, just a hobbiest not smart enough for a better solution :)

This was the first idea. I cannot explain very well why this does not work. But I think the issue is that the borg mount magic lives inside the container so the filesystem cannot be seen from the host. You can mount an empty directory and copy the files you want to access from the host into it. Problem with that is that you are stuck with the tooling provided by the container.

That does make sense. Could work for me as well. I was just not aware I can mount a repository from a remote host that was created by a different Borg instance on another server and just browse the files like they were local on my notebook.

Agreed, the dedupe feels like magic!

Borg is running on a headless server. Everything is dockerized, so I did the same with Borg. Advantages are that the setup is easy to setup, backup the config and move it to a different server. At first I did not realize that the mount of the backup only exists in the container and that this is making things a little harder.

Nice hints. Never really heard about the banana pie routers. Great to hear from someone with extended knowledge! You gave lots to read and think about. Setting up a mesh network requires some work but seems doable. Have you used it? Does it work for you once setup smoothly? Sounds great all in all but not sure if I can motivate myself for the extra effort (and the negative feedback for breaking the internet). Do you use the metal cases from banana pie and their WiFi antennas or are there better options? It will be in the living room and a not to techy look is required.

Thanks. Yeah people say not so nice stuffed a out unifi and Ideally don’t want to,be pushed in somebodies cloud. Mikrotik looks good. Will do some more reading about them. Your comments were really helpful!

Wow, just had a very short look,this looks like an amazing rabbit hole to get into. Do you run this yourself. Did you find the setup difficult? Is the,WiFi range compareable to a comercial access point?

Did not know this. Immutable Ubuntu plus flatpack sounds awesome. Not sure what to think about their plans to fork cosmic from GNOME.

Turns out she needs a bit of proprietary software (pixum for photo books) that I could not install on EndlessOS. So I had to change course and installed pop os. So far I am pleasantly suprised. Even though I thought I would not like it, their take on GNOME makes sense to me. Tiling is fun.

Need Tod check that out. Never heard of it. I myself run KDE as part of the mighty garuda Linux. Pure is not the word I would use to describe garuda though.

Thanks, will look into it.

Wow, that looks very promising. Will keep that in mind. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for your suggestions. Silverblue might be a good idea. I am more in the Debian based camp but maybe it is time for a change. I think it gets major updates as often as fedora “normal”. This might not be ideal for us though.

Nice idea. I`d love to love nix but I think it is too involved for me. Maybe I have to try again but I need results tonight, so this might be for another time.

Has been using Ubuntu for a while but kept destroying it. I aim at a stable base with modern applications.

U r right, it does highlight in the pdf. It did not on mobile for me.

I do Greek goods and Titans which leads to a similar problem. But I just love that my main proxmox host is namend after a Titan with many arms.

Paperless is great. But it does not highlight the search text. The android app paperless mobile does. Another option could be zotero. It is meant for sientific papers but very powerful in handling large PDF collections. Hard to completly selfhost. But using WebDAV as storage is straightforward. Good look, let us know where you land.
