  • [AIT] Well, let’s see…nothing really new on the server. Still waiting for something interesting besides *.arr. I did provision a new tower with the following specs:

    • CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X
    • GPU: ASUS ROG RX 580
    • RAM: Came with 32 GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4 / dropped another 96 GB in it.
    • SSD: WD Black NVMe M.2 iirc it’s about a 1tb
    • Asus motherboard
    • Working on acquiring a GeForce RTX 5090 32GB GDDR7 mounted on a OCuLink external dock (tentative - may change)

    This, obviously, will be an local AI machine


  • Your server looks fabulous, and I’m not discouraging you from pursuing it in the least. However, if I may draw from my own personal experience and what I am currently running, it may give you some ideas. Currently, I am running 53 containers on a Optiplex 7020 SFF with the i7-4790 and 32 GB RAM. Just checked and it’s load average at this moment is: 0.47, 0.60, 0.73. Meaning it’s pretty much in an idle state except for logging in just now. Grand total cost was less than $200. It consumes about $8 USD/month.

    Unless you’re going to get into selfhosting heavy AI models, most stock PC, office discards, etc built in the last 10 years will do just fine for a homelab, with a little love like some additional RAM or a dual nic card. Immich and Nextcloud will probably require a bit more than 16 GB RAM running together. I don’t run Immich, but I do run Nextcloud and it does just fine with the above set up. No lags, stutters, etc.



















  • Hmmmm…Navidrome has supported lyrics for a while now, no? Apps like Feishin will fetch lyrics for you based on the song being played, if it’s available that is. But it doesn’t embed them, to my knowledge. However, since I still have a stripped down Windows 10 installation, I used MusicBee to embed the lyrics. Highlight the library, and let it eat. If your library is large, it will take some time. When finished, the lyrics will be embedded in the audio file, and will display in Feishin and in Navidrome.

    I know that beets has a lyric plugin, and that might be an avenue for you OP. However, in my case, I started with MusicBee so very long ago, and it’s still a top notch player imho, even tho it is a Windows app.
