    You should look into Servarr , more specifically Radarr for movies and Sonarr for shows. They’re great tools for organizing media files and have become invaluable in my media stack.

    Absolutely loving it and I am very impressed with the rich world that Riot has managed to create. Great animation, great characters, great story. Without a doubt one of the better shows out right now.

    Maybe against #7 but I’ll just leave my setup here.

    I use Healthchecks.io to monitor my backup jobs, you can self-host (which I do) or you can use the service hosted by them (you get to monitor 20 jobs for free).

    What you do is you set up a scheduled check with a specific interval, and if the check isn’t pinged (with something like curl or python, etc…) in the given interval it will be marked as failed and will trigger a notification to a wide variety of services (webhooks, smtp, ntfy, etc…). If your job returns an exit code upon completion you can also send that to healthchecks so if the job ran but failed you will be alerted. Signaling failures

    I use it with ntfy (I self-host but one doesn’t have to) to get a notification on my phone.

    Hope you find something that fits your needs!

    I agree that passkeys have problems in terms of usability, but from a technical standpoint they’re a lot more secure than passwords. There are other solutions though, like Bitwarden, that lets you store and use your passkeys on any device.

    I also recently saw that the FIDO alliance are making a standard that aims to make it easy for passkeys to be moved between platforms. FIDO Alliance Publishes New Specifications to Promote User Choice and Enhanced UX for Passkeys

    I run Immich on my server at home and I really really like it. I run quite a few applications at home in my quest to de-cloud my life and Immich is my favorite app next to Jellyfin and Bitwarden.

    It’s quite easy to set up and their documentation is great. It’s still in beta so they don’t recommend you to solely rely on it but I’ve never had any trouble, and I take regular backups in case anything would go wrong.

    What I am missing is more functionality in the mobile app (iPhone) as well as the mobile app being able to properly display HDR media. But besides that it has the functionality I want in a photo app (face recognition, tagging, geolocation, etc…)

    I might try Ente out just to see how it compares to Immich but doubt I’ll switch to it. I’ve grown so attached to the Immich project and it’s devs :)

    I know this isn’t really a response to your actual question but I wanted to share this self hosted photo management app (since you mentioned wanting to find one in your post): https://immich.app
