  • I just recently switched from portainer to dockhand and I really like it. The UI is great and the setup and config wasn’t too complicated. I like that I can put both of my servers into one instance and can update all of my containers from dockhand vs manually. The other thing I like is being able to view the logs for my containers. Idk if it’s a me thing, but whenever I would try to view logs in portainer I would never be able to scroll up as it would update and send me back to the bottom. Again, I could’ve just been doing something wrong, but it always bothered me and I don’t have that issue with dockhand.



  • I’ve never used Calibre-web so I wouldn’t know the difference but Calibre Web Automated is supposed to be a blend of Calibre and Calibre-Web. I don’t run a calibre server at home anymore because it wasn’t needed after implementing CWA. I did have to copy some Calibre files to run the CWA container (it’s in the setup doc) but I haven’t needed Calibre since setting up CWA. Whenever I get more books I move the files to the “booksync” folder and it uploads it to CWA. You can also upload them via the webpage. The downside, I usually have to manually fetch the metadata for the books. But that’s not a big deal to me. At least I can do everything in one place. I think CWA supports CW plugins, but I’m not 100% certain. I would recommend it if you’re looking for one place to hold and update your books metadata.


  • On my server I have Calibre Web Automated, Komga, and Kavita setup. I started with CWA for epubs and it’s been pretty great especially for syncing metadata that, with the recent update, has gotten better. The downside I’ve had is with comics. It supports them but there’s currently no support for writing metadata for .cbr or .cbz so trying to sync or update metadata errors out. Sometimes it saves it, but a lot of the time it errors out for me. Which is why I spun up Komga and Kavita. They’re both good for comics, manga, and books. Plus the UI on both is nice. However, they both don’t sync metadata as well as CWA. I think there’s another container you can create to write metadata for Komga and Kavita, but I had no luck with it. Eventually I’ll decide on just one, but so far, I’m undecided on which one I like the most.


  • I followed your steps for removing go2rtc and It fixed my issues in home assistant. I was a little worried about the results because I’m running 4 WiFi cameras and 1 dual camera (tapo c240d) and thought it might be too much for my setup, but everything works perfectly fine. If anything, it works better now because I can have my cameras in home assistant using the advance camera card. It also seemed to fix my issue with not being able to view clips from the C240d. Not sure how or why, but the clip review just works now.

    I haven’t tried switching my detection model yet, but that’s my next goal. Thank you for helping me with this.


  • I’ve been trying to configure frigate for a few days now and I’ve got it all working via restreaming through go2rtc because the WiFi cameras I have only allow a limited amount of connections and I can view my cameras just fine in the portal. But I gave up trying to add them to home assistant because no matter what I did, I would only get a still image.

    My setup seems the same as yours. (Frigate in docker via proxmox LXC) But I don’t have any external devices, just using the cpu of my server.

    Would it be possible to see your config file for this? I’m having a hard time understanding how you removed go2rtc. Also, are you using substreams at all?


  • I’ve asked about this a few times and I was told by our administration that every company we work with signs a data privacy agreement stating that they will not sell or compromise any sensitive student data. But I was also told that our administration team doesn’t usually follow up with these companies to make sure they’re following the rules. Therefore it’s an unfortunate situation of, “above my pay grade.” Also, when opting out of a Chromebook, you’re only making sure your kid doesn’t go home with one. Most, if not all, teachers don’t shy away from Google Classroom…
