  • For self hosting I run a separate machine with unraid which basically makes it super simple.

    As far as learning Linux its tough because there are so many different ways to do things it mostly depends on what you choose. For desktop I mostly just hit the super key and search for settings or whatever I need, I never really open the terminal except for the one time I needed to disable the thunderbolt reset when connecting my eGPU.

    For self hosting its mostly learning about containers whether its podman which I think theres a flatpak in bazaar, or using distroshelf which is preinstalled. Or using a separate machine with something like proxmox, truenas, or unraid.

    After that the most you do is go to the application store and tell the container where to save the config files and where to access data, maybe change a port if its already used.

    After that you want to setup a VPN to your home with something like wireguard or tailscale





  • I always note this stuff down in obsidian so that next time I reinstall the os I know what I did

    This was my setup for rapid photo downloader

    Photos Destination

    mnt -> photos -> Photography hit the cog to edit

    <Extension (UPPERCASE)>/<Image date (YYYY)>/<Image date (MM)>/<Image date (DD)>
    

    Videos Destination

    mnt -> photos -> videos hit the cog to edit

    <Video date (YYYY)>/<Video date (MM)>/<Video date (DD)>
    

    photo rename

    <Image date (YYYY-MM-DD)>_<Image date (HHMMSS)>_<Camera model (UPPERCASE)><Session number (Four digits)>
    

    video rename

    <Video date (YYYY-MM-DD)>_<Video date (HHMMSS)>_<Session number (Four digits)>
    

  • For dark table import I make the folder structure like this

    $(EXIF.YEAR)/$(EXIF.MONTH)/$(EXIF.DAY)
    

    And the rename like this

    $(EXIF.YEAR)-$(EXIF.MONTH)-$(EXIF.DAY)_$(EXIF.HOUR)$(EXIF.MINUTE)$(EXIF.SECOND)_$(EXIF.MODEL)_$(SEQUENCE).$(FILE_EXTENSION)
    

    This gets saved to a photos folder on my external drive that also gets sync’d to my nas at home with syncthingy

    I used to use photo rapid downloader which was really nice but haven’t figured out how to use it on bazzite
