Hi! First, i love my Pi
I use the old raspbian OMV Image on a RPi3 and use it for a lot of stuff with a attached 1TB WD portable without a hub for:
- TimeMachine Backups. Yes its slow but I don't care. its done when its done
- PiMatic with 16 Plugins as home automation hub
- PiHole (network ad blocker)
- Plex. Dont need transcoding cause I use a odroid c2 with openpht.
Btw. the Pi can transcode DTS streams really good. good for local streams, cause the iOS App doesn't support DTS but direct stream of any AVC-stream and if you setup the encoder to ultrafast, you can transcode whole 1080p files to 480p. for vacation ie its fine
- Jdownloader
- Flexget
- MotionEyeOS with one old Android cam
- Seafile Server. Just for fun. Maybe with Pi4 and Gigabit someday for serious usage
Occasionally I kill the pi when Jdownloader extract files and I have a lot of motion on the cam, but in daily use, the downloader runs at night and then motion is turned off then. so its not a big issue.
1. do i have any advantage / disadvantage switch to your Arabian image when it comes to performance?
2. can I upgrade my old OMV3 raspian installation to OMV4 someday?
btw. here is my server room
i forgot one job. there are various audio stream recorder jobs with curl and some for video with ffmpeg.
and with a python script I crate a podcast feed for this files.
