The learning curve for Kodi is pretty steep. Most folks aren’t going to bother.

I’ve seen you recommending this here before - what’s its selling point vs say qemu-kvm? Does Incus do virtual networking without having to straight up learn iptables or whatever? (Not that there is anything wrong with iptables, I just have to choose what I can learn about)

I need full on segregated machines sometimes though. I’ve got stuff that only runs in Win98 or XP (old radio programming software).

Admittedly I have not dug too deeply into Proxmox but its learning curve appears kinda steep.

Yeah I experimented with Truenas in a VM, it randomly dropped the pool. Do not do this.

If you get a camera with built in detection like a Reolink I think you can trigger off the camera alarm. It is not easy though, takes some scripting. It is not great but better than nothing.

I set up a low res feed on Modect and use that to trigger recording the event on the second high res camera channel on Nodect, that keeps the CPU usage reasonable.

That’s kinda cool. I don’t have good GPUs on this server though, it’s an old R720.

I did this with a VPS pfsense instance linked to my local pfsense via site to site VPN, and haproxy for email to get a static IP. Worked very well.
