This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/DataHoarder

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time
  • SonarQube - Static code analysis for 29 languages.
  • Revelo Payroll - Free Global Payroll designed for tech teams
  • Onboard AI - Learn any GitHub repo in 59 seconds
  • Efficient-Compression-Tool

    Fast and effective C++ file optimizer

    Ah, I misunderstood you there, yes you can build it from source but there are also Windows binaries available on https://github.com/fhanau/Efficient-Compression-Tool/releases/

  • homepage

    A highly customizable homepage (or startpage / application dashboard) with Docker and service API integrations.

    Consider running a home server. A mini pc like this is powerful enough to serve files and stream videos and can be more convenient than plugging your external drives into your desktop PC every time you want to do a backup and it can run 24/7 while using very little electricity. You can also install services for your users like Homepage and Photoprism and many many more. Learning about Linux and Docker is a huge benefit there.

  • InfluxDB

    Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time. Manage all types of time series data in a single, purpose-built database. Run at any scale in any environment in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge.

  • awesome-selfhosted

    A list of Free Software network services and web applications which can be hosted on your own servers

  • PhotoPrism

    AI-Powered Photos App for the Decentralized Web 🌈💎✨

  • tailscale

    The easiest, most secure way to use WireGuard and 2FA.

    Consider a VPN like Tailscale. It'll let you access your machines while you are out of your home network and it is free and easy to setup and doesn't require you to open any ports on your router.

  • syncthing-android

    Wrapper of syncthing for Android.

    Look into syncthing for automatically keeping different machines in sync. I don't know if it'll run on your Nvidia shield, but it can pause and resume transfers as needed automatically. Just be careful because if you delete a file on one machine it can delete it on the other too.

  • restic

    Fast, secure, efficient backup program

    Look into restic for making backup snapshots. I use it for photos and documents. It'll save you from accidentally deleting files and lets you recover old versions of files.

  • SonarQube

    Static code analysis for 29 languages.. Your projects are multi-language. So is SonarQube analysis. Find Bugs, Vulnerabilities, Security Hotspots, and Code Smells so you can release quality code every time. Get started analyzing your projects today for free.

  • Portainer

    Making Docker and Kubernetes management easy.

    A mini pc is just like any other pc except it is too small to hold many drives and it isn't powerful enough to act as a desktop pc. You can certainly get minis that are powerful enough to be a desktop pc, but not that little $200 machine. I have a 2TB NVMe and a 4TB SSD in mine and I control it via web services like Portainer and SSH.
