Dear friends, does anyone have some experience with Discourse as family / „close circle“ knowledge-base? I‘d like to setup an instance at my home network in near future. The trade-off would be in hardware specifications. To minimize energy consumption (< 5-10 watts), it would be necessary to run D…

[Bild] terraboss: I don’t like any „experimental“ workarounds. [Bild] terraboss: Unfortunately without x64 support, Docker won’t be possible. Running on ARM without Docker is as experimental as it gets. Might be doable but for sure an unsupported install.

How about x64 recommendations? I think either, that ARM would be optional for package dependencis. Does anyone tried one of these sticky computer of Intel? https://www.intel.de/content/www/de/de/products/boards-kits/compute-stick.html Unfortunately, they are very expensive On the other hand, Dock…

Have you considered $5 a month cloud install? If you enable full disk encryption prior to installing on the cloud you will be in a pretty safe state. Certainly a world safer than keeping photos on facebook. At $60 bucks a year this is pretty much what you would pay for a password manager on the clo…

Hi sam, you’re basically right. :slight_smile: BUT here we come to another limitation, I‘ve had in mind, that is storage capacity and scalability. Most virtual servers for 5 bucks per month coming with round about 30-50 GB capacity. Let’s say 10 GB of them are instantly away due software dependeci…

Didn’t I cover this extensively here? Even the super fancy 6 core box at the bottom of that post is 8w idle at the Ubuntu command prompt, ~15w - 20w typical load.

[Bild] codinghorror: Didn’t I cover this extensively here? Thanks for your hint! Haven’t that in mind. The hardware should be not too old. I’m not sure if theee boxes are still available (in Germany) right now. :thinking: Running a 10 watt machine 365 days per year costs about 25 € for ene…

[Bild] sam: Certainly a world safer than keeping photos on facebook. These dark SaaS days reminds me, that I‘ve need to build my own safe harbor for certain applications: [Bild] Flickr gives free accounts a few more days to save their pictures from... Users have another month to …

Sure, you obviously don’t need the beast that’s shown there. But you still really don’t want a raspberry pi. The CPU is only part of the problem. The other part, if you’re going to be storing a lot of pictures on there, is its I/O performance. You won’t even get full USB 2.0 speeds, because it runs…

It runs quite well on a Synology. Don’t use their package, symlink /var/discourse to a share (/volume1/docker/discourse), and follow the normal install.

[Bild] notriddle: The CPU is only part of the problem. The other part, if you’re going to be storing a lot of pictures on there, is its I/O performance. That’s why I thought, using a smartphone / tablet with Android would be a nice option. These devices are not too bad … in terms of specs a…

Das ist jetzt möglich! Discourse auf einem Raspberry Pi | Blog, obwohl @terraboss inzwischen wahrscheinlich eine andere Lösung gefunden hat.
