popularized from the Young Thug and Future track of the same name:

My bitch can’t sleep at my house
Make her sleep at a hotel now
And when you talk, man, you talking off cap
And your diamonds they looking like tap
I was always ducking from the paps
Keep an R&B bitch in my lap
Out in Beverly Hills, I adapt
But I still had to ride with that strap

Yellow diamonds like banana, that’s cap
Put some dirty in Mello Yello, no cap
Rocking Maison Margiela’s, that’s cap
Red bitch, Cinderella, no cap
I can turn perroI can turn Pedro
Bad bitch out the ghetto

funkless_eck,

I’m the guy who designs those. They pay me the big bucks to make sure a hacker feels at home when violating our Gibson, after all. We’re one big family here.

funkless_eck,

that’s part of the issue! If you actually look at the trash guides you’ll see most of the guides just say “There is no special set up required.” and the rest of the page is blank.

That page you linked to shows how arrange your directory structure for hard links (but not how to mount the drive to match /mnt/ or, with exception of a single screenshot, how to configure the software to hardlink)

all of which were things that took me several hours to google, experiment and understand.

It is a little frustrating that you advised me to ask AI to tell me what to do, I posted the answer verbatim and you said it’s not necessary. Is that because you know the real answer but don’t want to tell me, because the AI is wrong, or something else?

the issue isn’t plex v jellyfin ease of use, its mullvad or privoxxy on gluetun through docker via compose …ease of use.

funkless_eck,

I have an ATT router in pass-through to an Eero mesh which I control through an app on my phone. there doesn’t seem to be anything about installing a VPN on a router I can find online except for specialist routers

funkless_eck,

very little network experience but I’m using Ubuntu to ssh into raspbian on a pi4. All of which is new to me, I can get sonarr radarr qbittorrent all working on it (i think - not willing to test without vpn), but it’s the VPN / Jellyfin stuff that’s really kicking my butt.

but if I’m turning off the VPN to watch something, doesn’t that make expose me because of all the seeding etc through qbittorrent?

funkless_eck,

high-level: in the USA, download TV and movies and watch them on the TV without having to connect a cable from my computer to my TV.

I have mullvad on my phone, but when I installed it on my Pi it blocks all ssh connections (which was how I was using the pi), some googling told me this was expected behavior and I should configure my proxy/reverse proxy first with the VPN built in.

the webserver, as I understood it, is so I can watch the movies when it’s done, but again as I understand it, has to be configured alongside the VPN to let me in to watch stuff, but not show the government/police/whatever that I am watching stuff

funkless_eck,

this is what I’m trying to do. I’ve played around with the Arr apps and they work as far as I can tell - but don’t want to use them until the network/VPN stuff is secure and safe

funkless_eck,

thank you for this. my bed time now but I’ll dig into this over thr next couple of days

"Network Settings: In Jellyfin’s network settings, make sure it’s set to listen on the correct network interface associated with your VPN connection.

"Port Forwarding: If you’ve previously set up port forwarding on your router for Jellyfin, you may need to reconfigure it to forward the VPN-assigned IP and port.

“Local IP Addresses: Check any configurations in Jellyfin that reference local IP addresses and update them if necessary to reflect the IP assigned by the VPN.”


<span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">as I said in my post: no instructions on how to configure it to "forward the VPN-assigned IP and port." or even what it really means (like I know port forwarding is where data comes in on an address, and is sent to another address, but how one reconfigures those, especially w/r/t a VPN I have no idea)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">edit: I also believe that the port forwarding is where docker-compose is telling the pi where each app can be accessed via the .YML
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">but all of these words I hadn't even heard of until a few weeks ago when I started this process, so there's a lot I don't understand

I do really appreciate your help - but unfortunately things like “just configure your VPN to allow local traffic” isn’t that helpful when my VPN is just me typing “mullvad connect” into a command line. There isn’t anything obvious to configure, and the moment you start looking into it, it’s insanely complicated.

edit: OK, so with some googling this morning I found “allow local traffic” is set with “mullvad lan set allow” (which is in the help doc, but again - zero explanation, it just lists the command amongst other commands)

edir2: apparently I need to run mullvad inside gluetun, so that’s the next thing

edit3: gluetun installed… step 1: “Required environment variables: VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=mullvad” that’s it - no other text. Does that go in docker .env or does it go in the compose.yml or is it set by the command line and where does it go in those files?Who knows?

Apparently gluetun is running on port 8000 - point browser to it “unable to connect” so either I fucked something in installing it or there’s no GUI browser interface - which is it? no idea.

edit4: .env has “VPN_CLIENT=‘openvpn’” - is that the same or different to “_SERVICE_PROVIDER”? should the client be gluetun and the service provider be mullvad? Or neither? Or both? or vice versa? No one knows.

edit 5: After more looking around I glimpsed that line in the last edit in a .yml file so im guessing that means “environment variable” is different to .env - still no idea what VPN_CLIENT should be.

edit 6: no, apparently thats all wrong. It should go in override.yml instead…

Generated private key, downloaded json, extracted the keys put them into the yml (why do these lines get hyphens at the start but nothing else does in the yml? hope i didn’t fuck it up!)

edit 7: did all that, took over an hour, docker restart gluetun no errors and whatsmyipaddress.com shows me where I actually am so its not working. Another complete waste of time with no idea what went wrong or how to fix it


<span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Also, "to use Jellyfin ... Just add content" in this case means "just" configuring ombi to talk to radarr to talk to qbittorrent to download a file to be "moved" with hardlinks which you previously configured. 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Then I also can't "just start" jellyfin because the VPN blocks ssh connections as mentioned.

funkless_eck,

It’s The Grapes of Being A Bit Miffed actually

funkless_eck,

We picked our own because we each have to wear it every day, might as well like it. Been together a decade, married for 6 years. Sometimes big sweping “romantic” gestures are for the movies.

funkless_eck,

I don’t know if there’s any period in history where having an onion on your belt would be a bad idea.

funkless_eck,

funny because, this is actually closer to what “The Method” really is than any of the weird shit you hear about (a way of analyzing text into small compartments of meaning and what their transitive emotional properties are and then considering the impact those words would have on another person when said with different intentions, and picking one based on surrounding context clues also found in the text)

funkless_eck,

it’s because the big bad gave the dog a nice treat and they’re yelping for joy

funkless_eck, (edited )

diluted torbie, possibly?

which is to say — idk, general cat flavour

funkless_eck,

my wife is a university senior lecturer — it’s likely they already have a system that can do this, that they have access to, works, and is non-technical; all they need to do is ask where it is.

funkless_eck,

I’ve fretted for a long time about whether I was the fuck up for "micro-"managing someone on my team but this post makes me realize it really was just them. Marketing not engineering.

They would get really nasty when I would feedback with "you can’t just make your task names “write marketing email” 5 times, you have to specify what the email is about, and for what project, otherwise I can’t check if the email will go out on time.

And also they would go totally off piste - a blog on disaster recovery rigs for data centers came back totally about rebuilding cities after earthquakes, nothing about attacks or power failure or database backups.

I’ve worried myself for a long time that I was micromanaging and I’m a bad person for it, but it really honestly was them.

funkless_eck,

I for one am glad I have no idea what’s going on here. I already know too much dumb shit.
