I've never understood it either. I still deploy some things into their own respective manual deployments but for lots of things having a pre-made docker compose means I can throw it on my general app VM and it'll take 5 seconds to spin up and auto get HTTPS certs and DNS. Then I don't lose hours when I get two days into using something and realize it's not for me.
Also have you read some of the setup instructions for some of these things? I'd be churning out 1000 lines of ansible crap.
Either way since Proxmox 9.1 has added at least initial support for docker based containers the whole argument's out the window anyway.
I don't think I've ever seen a Helm template that didn't invoke nightmares. Probably the biggest reason I moved away from Kubernetes in the first place.
I've had better experience with Armcrest cameras but same setup. Moved from using Arlo to a completely local setup and do not regret it one bit.
Worst part was just running ethernet to the spots where the cameras needed to go (only crawlspace access) but nice not having to charge batteries and even nicer knowing i'm not sending video to netgear anymore.
Actually surprised I never stumbled on this while I was looking for an IRC client. I ended up on on The Lounge for a while and that's always been pretty good.
Will give this a go because I would always prefer a native client in the first place and this looks excellent!
FWIW I am unable to register a gmail for an account I deleted probably 8 years ago at this point. That said I don't know if there is anywhere where it explicitly outlines if it is or is not possible.
I used to really like the minis but I had to basically e-waste two of them because the ethernet went bad (lightning strike i think) and there was really no way to replace them and the OS would crash from hardware issues from it.
I don't really see where it saves any time. You still have to build the initial template. Then every time you post you go copy and paste that template into ChatGPT?
I guess you could write a script that reads your template and body and submits the whole thing to chatgpt API then dumps out the file. But you also have to double check the whole thing again to make sure it didn't mess anything up or change any text?
But then all you do is invent a shittier SSG that costs more money and more resources for literally no benefit.
A handy mostly straightforward UI with built in backup/restore and other useful tools.
It's hardly a requirement but if someone is just starting to learn, proxmox has lots of documentation on how to do things and the UI keeps you from footgunning yourself copy/pasting config code off websites/LLM too much.
