  • Respond back that you prayed to win the lottery and you actually did. Watch the mental gymnastics in full force after that.

  • Another thing to add - these services can’t use the word ‘buy’ because that implies ownership. They should be forced to use a word like ‘rent’.

  • Unless I’m missing something, you can’t have multiple user profiles.

    I use Infuse on my Apple TV with Plex Media Server as the backend. I can work with that limitation on Apple TV because my wife and kids use the official Plex app while I use Infuse, but ideally I’d prefer if we all used Infuse.

  • Jellyfin server isn’t lacking, but the weak point is definitely client software, especially on iOS. Unfortunately they just don’t have the same kind of resources Plex do in that regard.

    I run Plex and Jellyfin, with watched status between the two synchronised with jellyplex-watched.

  • You could use split DNS on your router (or wherever your DNS is) so that when you visit the syncthing address on your local network, you’re being directed to traefik.

    I use a domain override in pfsense for syncthing.myhomelab.com which points to my reverse proxy’s local IP.

  • I put it in quote marks. Obviously I’m not actually forced to use it, but my entire family uses it and it’s the dominant messaging platform in Indonesia - to the point where people get annoyed with you if you send regular SMS or just end up replying to you on WhatsApp. A lot of businesses large and small also exclusively use it, so you’re causing yourself a lot of annoyance if you actively avoid WhatsApp. It’s a crap situation, but it’s reality in some countries.

  • Some people are ‘forced’ to use WhatsApp due to it being the messaging platform of choice for a lot of people.

  • ‘Supply side Jesus’ definitely would be.

  • One caveat worth noting is that as soon as subtitle burn-in comes into play (especially at 4K), then you’ll easily hit 100% CPU usage and encounter stutters. It’s less of an issue if you’re using good clients and have control over that, but may be a problem if you’re sharing with your family and they have problematic playback clients.

  • I’d like my appliances to stay dumb. I don’t need Bluetooth and WiFi in everything.

  • Did you try out Nextcloud AIO instead of setting it up manually?

    I agree that NC has a lot of problems. It’s a good example of an application that tries to do everything and unsurprisingly doesn’t do many things truly well. With that said, I was surprised that NC AIO ran well for me despite the horror stories of NC I’d always read. I’ll keep using it for now, but I could easily switch back to using Resilio Sync, File Browser, and Photoprism.

    My main problems with Syncthing is that there’s no official iOS client and that there’s no easy selective sync (Resilio can do this) - using ignorelists gets annoying if you’ve got a large folder structure and many files/folders that you selectively need to sync.

  • There are some quirks with docker in LXC. Nothing that can’t be overcome, but docker in a VM is definitely more stable.

  • Ideally I would, but I don’t have the time to manage 30 different containers.

    When I didn’t have kids, I ran everything in separate LXCs. I decided to just move everything to Docker and move on with my life.

  • Not OP, but I run Docker in LXC because my Proxmox host is an Intel NUC and I only have one graphics card (integrated).

    I don’t want to passthrough the iGPU to a VM because then I lose video output for the host. I also don’t want to use SR-IOV for iGPU because it’s buggy and results in garbled output for HDR content. That’s why, in my case, Docker in LXC makes sense.

    Obviously if I had a choice, I would prefer to do Docker in a VM with a dedicated GPU passed through.

    I’ve done Docker in LXC for about a year and it’s been fine. Not perfect and not as secure as a VM, but it suits my homelab.

  • I went into Nextcloud expecting to have a terrible experience, especially with slow syncing speeds which seem to be a persistent complaint.

    I was pleasantly surprised that syncing for my 3TB dataset which is a mix of documents, design work, photography, and videos, has worked just as quickly as Syncthing and Resilio Sync on local gigabit network.

    I run Nextcloud AIO on TrueNAS SCALE in a systemd-nspawn container with ncdata bind mount from NVME and the rest of the data using External Storage plugin locally.

    I only use Nextcloud for Memories (photo app), file syncing and file sharing, so my usage of it is relatively light.

  • Serving pizza and files. What a time to be alive.

    mv pizza.01 /srv/mouth/

  • I imagine if someone had to do it this way for whatever reason, Thunderbolt would be more reliable? Assuming it’s true Thunderbolt using a SATA bridge?

  • Would there be any technical reason why those logs aren’t displayed in an easy to view location in the UI? I’ve come across too many instances of a TN/Kubernetes app that’s been rubbing perfectly fine for days and it suddenly gets stuck deploying. I feel like with regular docker it’s much easier to troubleshoot.

  • I’m guessing you want an all-in-one server setup for NAS duties and services?

    UnRAID is probably the simplest from a management point of view for storage and docker.

    If you’d prefer something free, then OpenMediaVault works great. It can handle storage (Linux MD-RAID, BTRFS, ZFS, or mergerfs + SnapRAID) and compute tasks like VMs and Docker/Docker Compose all from a web interface. The only problems I’ve encountered with OMV is trying to click through configuration changes too fast and getting ‘stuck’ in a loop of applying conflicting changes. As long as you wait a second or two after hitting OK/apply on things, then you’re good.

    I use TrueNAS SCALE myself with docker and other services running in systemd-nspawn containers. I have a separate Intel NUC running Proxmox.
