I read a lot of good things about LXC and how it was better for such things when I was starting my selfhosting journey an year or so ago. Immich was my need of the hour but I could not find any tutorials to get it done back then and now I know why. Being good and being accessible for noobs are two different things.

I think a Pi is an overkill for this. If I were to attempt this, i would try getting it done with an ESP8266 module which uses far less power, making the battery last much longer. Bootup and shutdown times would be much less so using coin cells or supercapacitors charged using small solar panels could also be used. If your home is not too far (few km), using LoRa could eliminate dependency on the WiFi. Cool use case, nonetheless!
I have two recommendations from BBC Podcasts:
13 Minutes to the Moon
And
History of Music (hosted by Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason)
You’ve convinced me to learn and implement OTA on my 8266. Thanks!
I stopped commenting on YouTube videos when they stopped showing me a list of connects i made in the past.
Would you, at least, agree that the background musical scores are amazing?
