For my docker containers I use what’s up docker which not only alerts me when there is an update but also give a link to the changes, so I can have a look what’s happening !
For my system itself… Just doing sudo pacman -Syu. Though that’s not great, cause some updates can potentially break my EndeavourOS system… I keep sometimes an eye on the forum when I see some critical changes like the kernel itself or nvidia updates though.
The only thing I don’t install via that way is Firefox addons.
Any specific reason why? Yesterday I installed LibreWolf and saw at the same time a few addons in the AUR.
Do you know what’s the difference from an AUR addon or the official Firefox addon repo?
I guess It would be for security reasons because you never know if someone has tempered with the addon.
Damn… DNS issue early in the morning… What a nightmare 😂! Hope you got enough caffeine.
It really depends on your metadata/ directory structure. Even though navidrome doesn’t care of your directory structure it’s better to have everything neatly separated !
You can spin a docker compose (if you’re a bit acquainted with it) and simply point to your external drive containing your media, just to give it a try and see how it performs with your media files.
Just give it a try and see how it works, however I would wait for the new scanner update before upgrading fully to navidrome which would give some new long awaited functionalities like VA list of all artist.
But I had so many services running it was a pain to maintain.
Are you talking about docker containers? You should take a look at what’s up docker to maintain and keep track of your containers. I have approximately 20 containers and It was easier to keep track this way. If you’re more in the 50/100 range… Yeah this sounds a lot ! :o
Now I just want to host a web page and expose it with nepenthes…
First, because I’m a big fan of carnivorous plants.
Second, because it let’s you poison LLMs, AI and fuck with their data.
Lastly, because I can do my part and say F#CK Y0U to those privacy data hungry a$$holes !
I don’t even expose anything directly to the web (always accessible through a tunnel like wireguard) or have any important data to protect from AI or LLMs. But just giving the opportunity to fuck with them while they continuously harvest data from everyone is something I was already thinking off but didn’t knew how.
Thanks for the link !
Anime and .ass subtitles are a bit funky but that’s not due to jellyfin but the player used while streaming in direct play. (In my case)
I had the issue where on my mobile/laptop some subtitles just disappeared or where strangely formated. After some digging arround I found out that VLC was the culprit and changing the default player to MPV or alternatives like Findroid (which uses MPV as default player) everything went butter smooth in direct play !
No idea about transcoding though :/
Wrong tool for the job ! Use Navidrome with your music library. There’s even a new scanner rewrite in the working which will even further improve how good it is !
I don’t know if it’s bad UX or UI, but I do agree there’s something really disturbing with jellyfin’s options and tweaks… More than once I lost my way and had to click on every option button again to find a specific thing to disable/enable something?
Now It’s easier after I have passed some time in the options/user menu, but some tweaks and options are not very intuitive.
Other than that, Jellyfin is awesome and I can’t believe something as good as Jellyfin is free and open source. Thanks to all devloppers behind this, I hope they will stay true to open source and jellyfin will last forever !! But I doubt it.
That’s wechat, and this confusion made it really difficult to find the right info on the web… Most search results were linking to the Chinese thing, uhhg !
Helle there ! It’s still Saturday here :p !
I recently setup weechat (IRC) and learned about bouncers. From what I understand it’s similar to a proxy but with backlogging IRC conversation. I’m still new to it and have a lot a new things to learn.
I’m thinking to self-host my personal bouncer on some cheap VPS.
Other than that was busy with encoding with av1an and encode my bluray library to AV1 codec :).
I also recently self-hosted metube (yt-dlp web frontend) to download some music from RiMusic. Still need to work on a shortcut with HTTPS shortcut on Android !
Yeah, vote with your wallet !! This has way more impact than those stupid presidential ballot! Good call staying behind your belief for so long !!!
I was in the same boat… I just wanted a simple god damn self-hosted cloudStorage without any nitty gritty or all the bloat that comes with most local/self-hosted cloud solution…
Syncthing is good, but not really a cloud storage solution (I love syncthing and I use It to sync all my backups !!).
Give SFTPGo a try :) It also has a WebDAV functionality if you wan’t to use it that way ! It just plain file storage with security features. However, not sure there are any application available, I mostly used it as web application :).
I don’t really have a technical reason, but I do only named volumes to keep things clear and tidy, specially compose files with databases.
When I do a backup I run a script that saves each volumes/database/compose files well organized in directories archived with tar.
In have this structure in my home directory: /home/user/docker/application_name/docker-compose.yaml and it only contains the docker-compose.yml file (some times .env/Docker file).
I dunno if this is the most efficient way or even the best way to do things :/ but It also helps me to keep everything separate between all the necessary config files and the actual files (like movie files on Jellyfin) and it seems easier to switch over If I only need one part and not the other (uhhr sorry for my badly worded English, I hope it makes sense).
Other than that I also like to tinker arround and learn things :) Adding complexity gives me some kind of challenge? XD
I know that feeling ! My first service hosted via docker + Treafik outside my lan with a wireguard tunnel felt like a big dopamine hit ! Congrats !
Now I have over 20 services and It feels trivial :( I still love the easy to read/write syntax of Treafik ,however I feel like I’m missing a lot of important networking knowledge while avoiding Nginx !
Maybe one day when I’m too bored I will switch everything to Nginx, see how it goes !
Tempo is soo good !
A NAS is just a small desktop computer. If you have a motherboard/CPU/ram/Ethernet/case and a lot of SSDs/HDDs you are good to go.
Just don’t bother to buy something marketed as NAS. It’s expensive and less modular than any desktop PC.
Just my opinion.
What do you mean by showstopper? I only encode my shows into AV1/opus and I never had any transcoding happening on any of my devices.
It’s well supported on any recent Browser compared to x264/x265… specially 10bit encodes. And software decoding is nearly present on any recent device.
Dunno about 4k though, I haven’t the necessary screen resolution to play any 4k content… But for 1080p, AV1 is the way to go IMO.
It has it’s own quirks for sure (like every codec) but it’s far from a bad codec. I’m not a specialist on the subject but after a few months of testing/comparing/encoding… I settled with AV1 because it was comparative better than x264/x265.
Nothing fancy but I found an old RPI3 and want to selfhost Vaultwarden and piped on that thing to give my parents a way to watch YouTube without those nasty ads and give them a proper and easy way to store their password. (Over wireguard tunnel)
Also If the universe aligns buy a N100 or 200? To host my own router/switch setup and finally take advantage of my 5Gbit fiber 🫤. I still need to figure out how I get WiFi AP to work with a N100…
Not much but I have a lot other things to figure out but mostly software wise :).
I tried a lot of self-hosted read-it later services, but they all have some wired issues when scrapping some specific websites with discussion (like github, stackoverflow…) so I gave up on them.
For bookmarking and archiving I use Linkding.
For text processing and archiving I use singlefile + zotero.
XD okay ! Maybe I put to much fought into it 😅
