I’ve never used Radicale, but I just looked it up and the homepage talks about enabling authentication. It also supports auth via reverse proxy headers, which is great for anyone who wants to use Authelia, KeyCloak, or another similar solution. By contrast, as far as I can tell, Baikal doesn’t support reverse proxy auth, though it does seem to let you set up auth through the web interface.

Yes, but not really. You can have multiple users but not multiple libraries.

If you need/want a robust multi-user experience, specifically with private personal library support, then Photoprism isn’t going to work, unfortunately.

• Free:
  • You can create multiple Admin users in the free version, but they all can see and delete everything (unless you don’t give Photoprism delete access)
• Paid (Essentials or Plus)
  • you can create “User” users who can upload photos - but they still have access to your full library
  • you can create “Viewer” users who can’t see private photos (but they also can’t upload photos).
  • you can share links to albums that are viewable by anyone with the link

I’ve been using it single user and it’s been great, though I should add the caveat that I upload my photos to my server using Photosync and don’t give Photoprism write/delete access to my library, so no uploads come from it. I had been using Photosync for years before even hearing about Photoprism so it just fit very neatly into my existing process.

Multi user features are effectively paywalled and not technically FOSS due to not allowing commercial use, but roles are documented at https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/users/roles/ and there’s more info at https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/users/libraries/

If Photoprism Plus/Essentials features could work for you, but the ongoing subscription is an issue, then you should know that - unless this has changed - you can sub for one month on Patreon or Github, use the info they provide to upgrade to using the Essentials or Plus features, and then cancel the subscription. I still have an ongoing one but I didn’t connect it to my Patreon account or anything so I don’t think anything would change (except for me no longer getting support, if I needed it) if I canceled it.

If you haven’t already ruled it out, I recommend checking out Photoprism. It was the first app I ever self-hosted using Docker and I haven’t needed to change my config because of breaking changes yet.

Have you considered not using the Home Assistant OS? You don’t need to run it to use Home Assistant. You can instead set your host up with some other OS, like Debian, and then run Home Assistant in a docker container (or containers, plural) and run any other containers you want.

I’m not doing this myself so can’t speak to its limitations, but from what I’ve heard, if you’re familiar with Docker then it’s pretty straightforward.

A lot of apps use hard coded paths, so using a subdomain per app makes it much easier to use them all. Traefik has middleware, including stripPrefix, which allow you to strip a path prefix before forwarding the path to the app, though - have you tried that approach?

I don’t think you understood the context of the comment you replied to. As a reply to “Here are all these drawbacks to Docker vs hosting on bare metal,” it makes perfect sense to point out that the risks are there regardless.

Unless I misread your comment and you’re suggesting that you think devs not having to deal with OS-specific code is a disadvantage of Docker. Or maybe you meant your second paragraph to be directed at OP?

They’ve at least created a website that houses the SSD tier lists, buying guide, etc: https://borecraft.com/

Any chance you can share some examples of the kinds of configuration script you’re thinking of, and best practices for creating one in the first place / maintaining it as you make changes to your system?

Is my car a random person? I thought it was an object that I own.

I’ve experienced this and also read reports of it with GoDaddy. But I cannot say the same for Namecheap - I’ve searched for several domain names multiple times through Namecheap and never noticed a price increase (outside of a sale ending and/or the search being multiple weeks later, at which point it makes sense). I’ve also never seen any detailed reports of this happening with Namecheap, and if I’ve seen any at all, I can’t remember them. I have occasionally searched for a domain name that was later unavailable, but that happens infrequently enough that I doubt it’s due to Namecheap doing something nefarious.

And if you’re really concerned about data integrity then you should also ensure that your server has ECC RAM.
