In my experience, Immich is way better for Photos.

I use a VPS. They don’t charge based on CPU utilization so I run Folding@Home on it.

Do you want the files to be automatically shared? Like there’s a folder on both your computers that’s synced

If so, syncthing is the way to go.

Immich is pretty great. I used to use Nextcloud, but it isn’t nearly as good for photos.

Inofficial probably the Arr stack though

I’ve been wanting to set up Readarr, but I feel like it’s one of those things that can be pretty annoying to do with Docker because of the volumes.

That’s a good one. I just switched from Gitlab to Gitea.

Way better upload speeds, at least for me. Residential uploads speeds here are awful unless you have fiber. Uptime also tends to be way better.

I switched to Oracle’s free tier VPS and it’s giving me more RAM, better CPU performance, and better network speeds than my home server. Only issue is less disk space, but i had already stopped using Jellyfin/Plex before switching.
