man i am setting up a DB server on a lsw vps1 seems fine for now let's see how it unfolds

MariaDB?

A single server for mariadb + postgres, with couple of DBs ranging from 400mb to 1gig

You already have that much of data? existing project?

yeah have to move around bunch of stuff and fix some issues with nginx fastcgi

Postgres seems much more lightweight than PHPMyAdmin. Gotta try it out someday.

postgrest and mariadb both are different, my use case mostly goes with mariadb postgres for some js stuff where i don't need that much of data unlike mariadb.

Oh, I used to think Postgres was a PHPMyadmin alternative. Isn't it a client rather than a server?

Where's everybody. let's bring the RackNerd Christmas spirit to the thread now!!

Everyone celebrating the festival I think.

Makes sense. Got any plans for Christmas?

No plans. Working currently.

BTW, whatever happened of your Jellyfin plans. Had the time to try it yet?

Not yet. Those are for NewYear, i will start working on it after 31st.

Oh ok. Ping me if you face any issues.

Sure. Are you using it currently?

Yup. On my Android box. But, planning to get an SSD for it soon.

SSD will definitely improve the experience. Can your android box handle the streaming

I'd actually recommend an SBC or even a slightly more powerful Android box than a VPS if you plan on setting up a Jellyfin server.

that praho mini series is quite good for this use case. or just get yourself some old dell/hp/lenovo tiny clients.

Today, had another great support experience, courtesy of the RackNerd customer support team. I don't know if they have an internal mechanism to monitor response times, but, I am still amazed by their quick response times. And, it makes me wonder why those big corporations with all that money, charging 4x prices than RackNerd can't provide quick support. Gonna stick with RackNerd for life now !

May be RackNerd have their own support AI

True, support is the main thing most companies fail to deliver.

Yah. They somehow overcharge and fail to deliver the bare minimum in terms of after sales support. Don't understand what their strategy is.

I've seen them. Some people are fighting in HH thread as well about support.

Ddin't get you. Postgres is db, and phpmyadmin is just an web based admin tool to access db.

Oh yes, for that, I use their official clients, which disables transcoding on the Android box. If I do transcode, it's always 100% CPU usage on the Box with constant buffering.

Ok, so transcoding may not work with the 2 core setup then. They have Android client as well?

always happy to help, there are other db servers as well, typically monogodb and postgres are more flexible than mariadb and can scale better for me mariadb is serving just too much of my infra.... don't have time or patience to migrate everything over.

Me as well. Moved to MariaDB a few years ago from MySQL. Stayed with it, cause it serves my purposes well, and is slightly faster than MySQL in some cases. Will have to try Postgres one of these days.
