Google Photos syncing to TrueNas

Like many of us, I am trying to break free of depending on Google so much. I’ve made some progress in many areas thanks to this awesome community.

I take a lot of photos with my phone but I don’t know the best way to sync those photos into my TrueNas/Immich setup. I am aware of Takeout which I have used to seed it. I am also aware of gphotos-sync [https://pypi.org/project/gphotos-sync/] but Google has crippled their API and don't allow for Original quality photos with EXIF data.

What are you guys/gals doing to periodically sync their photos into your homelab?

Help with Routing
  • I disabled IP6 completely... it was completely confusing and looking at the damn thing I couldn't understand it. I figured that I didn't need it. I guess I am missing something then.

  • Help with Routing
  • Thank you!! Yes, it is a DHCP war. I just realized that I can talk to my hardwired devices but only by IP! Even though I specify my DNS server in google, its ignoring it for the browser. I wonder if that is DNS over HTTPS (DOH) in Chrome.

  • In opnsense they divide up the rule categories into Floating, LAN, Loopback, WAN. In LAN i have rule which is allow any to any, so as I understand it all devices on the LAN can talk to each other. Thanks for the reply.

  • It is a complete shit device, I had to buy smart switches to automatically reboot them every night one by one so they don't randomly drop from the 'mesh' the next day. And they were expensive and I have 5 nodes which is why I am hoping to keep using the damn things. I hate them though.

    As I understand it, the effect that you are suggesting is to move the Google Wifi IP Ranges to be the same as the wired, all 192.168.1.0.

    I will think on that. Thanks

  • Help understanding options for network names
  • This turned out to be the solution that I chose. My internet provider did not support DHCP and even DNS was hard coded which made it hard for me. So, i switched the modem into Bridge mode and installed opnsense on a computer that I had after installing a 2x1GB NIC for it. Now I have full control over naming and now everything mostly works as I need it to.

    imgur.com Imgur: The magic of the Internet

    I am not very experienced with networking and as I build out my services on prem I have come to this community for help and support.

    I have done a lot of reading about subnets and masking and the like and I semi-understand how it works and what I want to do but I don't know how to actually do it.

    Thanks to this community I have a OPNSense Router that I installed on a desktop computer where I purchased a 2x1gb NIC to install. I've learned how to open ports and how to NAT/forward even with reflections for my https local services.

    I just can't figure this out. I drew my network topology and put it here: https://imgur.com/a/XY8V5Sl

    My wired network is 192.168.1.0/24 meaning 255.255.255.0. My wireless is Google Nest Wifi which limits me a bit. It is using 192.168.86.0/24. The gateway for both networks is my opnsense router 192.168.1.1.

    I want to create a route between 192.168.86.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24. I believe one way to do it is to use 255.255.0.0 meaning /16 but I don't know where to make that change and since the Google Wifi uses its own DHCP, i am not sure I can change that properly.

    My preference is to leave Google Wifi alone (its a piece a shit, by the way, don't buy it) and my expectation is that I can create a route in opnsense to 'bridge' the two different subnets.

    Am i correct? If not, can you help me understand? If i am correct, can you guide me?

    Help understanding options for network names

    I am building up a selfhosted homelab after a few years of building up services on a single old desktop computer that I bought for $300. I had installed Ubuntu on it, and upgraded the RAM, etc and basically just used Docker to stand-up various services that all of you would be familiar with.

    As I grew my use, it started to get more difficult to manage ports and networks and so I decided to make an investment and buy a used HP380 G8 server and installed proxmox. I love it.

    The problem is now instead of a proliferation of ports now I have a proliferation of ips. Also, my damn Internet provider doesn't allow me to disable DHCP and its "reserve ip" is broken. It has an option for "bridge mode" which seems to allow me to make it simply a gateway but I haven't tried that mostly because I don't want to impact my family during the day/night when they are using the network.

    What I have tried to setup various nameservers but they aren't doing what I want. I installed unbound yesterday to play around and it works but I don't know how to get the IP address/Name from proxmox over to the /etc/unbound.conf file for example.

    My question is simply, what do you guys use to keep track of your IPs? Ideally, I could have something in Proxmox that registers the name/ip that I could patch into pihole or unbound or dnsmasq and fairly easily be able to manage that.

    Any advice?

    Projects to build small machines

    I am thinking about buying a 3d printer but I have no idea what I would do with it. I did some blender training and made a donut but it did not really inspire me.

    I browsed thingverse and some other sharing sites. Nothing really caught my eye.

    I think something that would are mechanical kits for making gears or small machines etc. Printing a mechanically true LS1 V8 for example kind of interests me.

    Any thoughts to share?
