Hey sorry for the delayed reply! That’s a VERY good question, since things got a little different since they moved away from Portainer I remember a bit of friction switching over, but geeze it was a while ago…

I did find this link though:

https://wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv7%3Adocker_in_omv

That might be similar (and possibly better organized!) than the guides I was working with when that OMV subsystem was still a bit new. I hope that might help! 🙂

That’s so cool! Nice work! I feel a certain kinship with anyone who also got tons of 3D printing XP by building, rebuilding, researching, modding, head-scratching, laughing, crying, screaming at an A8 lol.

This here is mostly fire prevention: Basically an updated stock motherboard, better PSU, an aftermarket MOSFET board for safety, thicker gauge wires with ferrule crimps for all the power cables, the bed is now attached directly to the thicker wires by way of crimp connectors.

The printing surface is upgraded to carefully cut and polished picture frame float glass. 😂

Added that sweet fan duct mod, a little Noctua 15mm (because it softened and jammed otherwise LOL), and printed that purple bracket at the library because the plastic decided to literally crumble away.

Also the adjustable Z-stop was nice but the PLA softened so it’s a bit unpredictable, and the right motor will gently slip until it’s engaged so the gantry needs to be leveled every time…I also can’t guarantee that the Z rods are straight anymore because it requires such a Goldilocks level of tension I probably overdid it lol.

Oh yeah, I had to replace the main power cable because the one provided just…had a break in it.

It still works for small jobs though! And it printed all those parts for itself, so that’s kinda the RepRap dream right there right??

Lol I feel like an amazing machine is in here somewhere if I bothered to research custom boards and stuff. The stock bearings are also terrible. But if I can bother someday I’ll stick Klipper on it maybe.

It was a crazy, stressful journey…but I learned a ton of electronics stuff, and how to use a multimeter, and engineering stuff! XD

My Ender3V2’s felt like such a crazy luxury by comparison. 😂

Man this picture is such a vibe lol. Love it. :D

That’s so weird at first look on this picture I was like: “What’s O…P…D? 🤔” LOL

Simple, elegant, rock solid. Very nice. :) Love your decals too!

Wait I see EMT piping for that printer frame… Did you convert an Anet A8 to an “EMT-8” like I did!? :D

Just seemed like a neat coincidence!

The stock A8 was such a scary fire hazard lol.

OMV has such a nice Docker management interface too. I really feel spoiled with it.

I was planning on all my services running in ProxMox or something, but my OMV VM handles all of them except PiHole basically lol. OMV is snazzy. :D

Oh yes the bright red rotary phone…I imagine if it’s ringing, something has gone terribly wrong.

I’m so glad it was helpful! You’re very welcome! I try to spread the word since NextCloud’s default photo app…scares people away frankly lol.

I now use an extension to customize the menu, so Memories effectively replaces the default app from a user point of view.

Using Memories in Nextcloud AiO simplifies things a bit, but I seriously consider it NextCloud’s “killer app.” It’s got EXIF editing, albums, user sharing, folder organizing, facial (and object!) recognition done locally, geo tagging map view…all local. The face recognizing stuff isn’t perfect, but it’s definitely good enough for the most part.

It’s also very easy to send to people outside NextCloud, but I run it behind TailScale so it’s not exposed to the open net at all. Copying and sending images through something like Signal also works fine. :)

It even has a neat Android app that sends my pictures to my server whenever I plug my phone in. (And moves them to my SD card in case something goes awry…but I learned I need to manage the cleanup of that part better lol)

Given all the other neat things NextCloud does, I like how it keeps photo managing in one place too.

Gonna also throw in: Nextcloud Memories.

It makes the photo organizing part of NextCloud AMAZING. I’m so happy I got to dump Google Photos for good.

I like that idea, although I think we need some simpler guides as to what exactly one might he getting into if they’re setting up an instance that’s not just a domain name. (Costs, potential usage blowing up, legal issues with content, etc…)

Also, I really think there needs to be a smoother way to navigate between instances. I guess, so you’re still aware of “jumping nodes”, but also don’t feel locked in there. (Although maybe I’m just a newb still haha)

Truuue!

I probably engage here a little much too, but I’m glad there’s not a ton of “You also might like based on where your mouse hovered 0.4 seconds longer” panels on every single page!

Bough it

Twish it!

Pull it!

(Yeah I know this joke is a stretch lmao)

A little LESS chaotically, you can use emojis to name objects in Blender now… Which, I dunno, could be kinda fun in the right doses.

This picture had me progressively laughing harder as it progressed though LOL.

I hear it’s prone to Rust.

Fair. Can also cite all the Islamic iconography and sound removed from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

As for Star Wars, Han absolutely shot first. (High five)

Weren’t a lot of those wacky edits by Lucas’ own whims though? I’d say there’s a distinction between a creator editing his own work and say, Disney going “We lost the rights to John Williams, so we removed the score from the entire franchise.” Lol

Sheesh!

Ace Combat games are also on a countdown as soon as they release, because the likenesses of the planes from the defense companies expire, so they get de-listed.

You couldn’t do that with physical media. =\

They’re editing entertainment history to begin with. Deletion is bad enough, but possibly even more nefarious is the blatant, unapologetically sneaky editing of existing media mentioned in this thread. Jussst a little bit at a time.

Unlike many videogames, TV shows, music, movies, don’t get “version / revision numbers.” Can you trust your archives to be original?

Adjust for today’s-sensibilities here, remove a now-naughty-word there…“oh, we don’t wanna pay for that song that released in 5 years before this 36 year old television program…better it never existed!”

Their goal seems to be relegating the Internet to simply being a flow of “What’s trending and making money NOW” and nothing else. Every byte electron has a dollar value.

They want generations growing up in a world where the corporate narrative is all that ever was and will be.

Today it’s talk shows and cartoons.

Tomorrow it’s biographies and documentaries. Family histories? Newspapers?

We need to stop this NOW.

Media conglomerates can’t even be relied on to be stewards of their own legacy. They’re coming for ours.

So, who’s up for another reread/watch of Farenheit 451 or Equalibrium?

“Alright kids settle down…you wanted to know about the 90’s right?”

"Now this is the story all about how,

My life got flipped-turned upside down,

And I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there,

I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air."

Laptops though, for real…

I got an old gaming laptop with an Nvidia 960M in it, and it happened to have an M.2 slot.

I stuck a 1TB from Western Digital in there, AND it had a 1TB HDD already…man, I dunno what to do with this much space on a laptop 😂.

Made an old machine feel like brand new, seriously.

(Especially since I wiped Windows and it’s only running EndeavourOS now.)
