Thanks for doing the research on this!

Yeah I too liked the look lf LibreY on the first glance.

Yeah the last commit is fron 3 weeks ago, but if you look at the commit history, it has been really sparse, and mostly consists of updating the public instances list.

I tried omnisearch (in the links) too but 3 out of the 4 engines didn’t work out of the box. Otherwise it looked good.

LibreY seems to be unmaintained.

So this leaves 4get. While it worked, it seemed to only search one engine at a time, which I didn’t like. This might also be a configuration error on my part.

Thanks, didn’t know.

I moved to degoog from SearXNG. It’s quite neat!

With 3 drives I would go with BTRFS RAID1. You get half the capacity, can lose any one of the drives, and it is really simple.

If you were to add drives later on to increase the array size, I might consider RAID10, but if you plan on sticking with 3 drives, I would go with RAID1 instead.

RAID0 offers no redundancy, so I would skip it.

RAID5/6 are not recommended for use in production.

I have no personal experience, but their products seem nice, though expensive.
