  • Honestly, every hw that is not going automatically into a power save mode when not used is utterly crap, even my home grade switches are able to do so.

    So, the only thing you need to do is to buy recent hw and of course not over size your hw necessities. But recent hw tends to be more expensive, so in the end, it is an excel driven decission.

    And once this is said, be careful, some hw suffer more for a on/off cycle than from a continuous power on mode. Think in hdd power cycles or condensation/ salt-rust problems in high humidity areas.






  • If you are interested in the photo storage then start… With the storage.

    So pick up a nas or something similar, pay a bit more for the super intuitive fancy gui product and the start from there.

    Learn what is nas and how to connect to a pc Thne learn how to do the same with your smartphone Then learn a bit about networking Then… Continuous for the hardest itch and try to Scratch it

    And if you need support, come back here, check videos and web pages or even chatgpt, for the basic stuff is quite acceptable


  • Ehmmmm I still don’t grasp what you mean.

    In any case, mandos has a possibility to do it automatically via rsa encryption, so you have the possibility of totally unattended restart.

    Because the server is (ideally) in a different location, if one of yiur systems is stolen / compromised then you only delete / revoked the certificates ID and then that machine would not be able to decrypt its own luks system.

    I never deployed this system on my own, but I know a few guys who did it
