uzay, in pooling media libraries - like distributed storage

Why do you use SMB instead of just connecting to the different jellyfin servers directly via VPN?

suntzu,

One big shared media volume has multiple benefits, each server just have to deal with their own user management, no server switching or remembering if that one movie is of this or that Server…

brewery, in I'm new to networking and self-hosting and have no idea where to start.

Cisco do free networking courses which teach the fundamentals. The one I did was more theoretical than practical but it really helped me think of what Im really trying to achieve and learning the terminology was really helpful, especially later when trying to troubleshoot and finding help online that was a struggle before the course.

There are assessments as you progress and a certificate at the end.

They also have virtual software you can play around with for different potential configurations. Thats much cheaper than buying lots of hardware!

Do you have a NAS at home with enough storage? You could use wireguard to setup a vpn tunnel, then mount your NAS’s storage on your vps via nfs and using cachefilesd. If your upload speed is sufficient, this can work pretty well without too much waiting for a stream to start.

loboaureo, in Am I in over my head? Need some encouragement!

I recommend you to check casaos. It’s a frontend for docker containers with his own “app store” with all you want and more easily configurable.

Maybe is not for you, as is so easy that maybe you don’t learn anything, but maybe it’s a way to start and investigate without frustrating blocks.

I feel myself at the same level than you, and currently investigating how to setup a DNS + VPN server, only for fun/learn

elfio, in Tempo – An open source music client for Subsonic built natively for Android, now with Android Auto support

I saw you did some steps in order to bring this to f-droid. Is it still on your roadmapm?

antoniocappiello,

Yes, it’s been on my roadmap for a while. I also created a pull request several months ago to enter the repo but it was never accepted (it’s also my fault because I didn’t follow the verification process properly).

elfio,

Thanks for the info!

Seems like this can be done in the browser using a user agent switcher.

Linux is fun! Of course it’s doable. At first you’ll have a hard time and need to look up everything at ddg or whatever. But you’ll learn a lot. Go in small steps. One thing at a time. And envision the feeling you’ll get when you succeed!

So ist this an http proxy? I don’t quite get it.

Docker is a moderately sized step beyond VM.

I might recommend setting up VMs with something easy like VirtuaBox. When you have that figured out move on to Docker.

If your a casual user VMs are likely sufficient.

TheHolm, in Anyone tried this 4x 10gbe + 5x 2.5gbe router?
@TheHolm@aussie.zone avatar

Specks lookg good, Intel NIC, semi decent CPU. I would say it is even overspec for a router.

Bluefruit, in Exposing Myself (with Filebrowser)

I’m not super familiar with docker so im sorry im not much help there but i noticed that you mentioned a ATnT router. Are you using them as an Internet provider?

If so, you might have a carrier grade nat which makes reverse proxy like this not possible even if you do get caddy server working. I had a similar situation with my jellyfin server.

I had caddy server working but when i moved and started using a mobile internet provider, i had to use a vpn tunnel like cloudflare or zerotier to get around it.

All this to say, id recommend finding that out so if that is the case you dont spend anymore time on caddy.

Good luck either way.

butt_mountain_69420,

I’m betting you’ve nailed it. It doesn’t make sense to me why it won’t work. You’re also the second one to mention cloudflared. It is easy to set up?

Bluefruit,

ATnT should be able to tell you for sure. I remember reading about another person facing a cgnat using ATnT on reddit while i still went there so it very well could be.

And fairly easy setup yea. I did mine using a windows pc for testing as i was kinda in between places at the time and thats what i ended up using for jellyfin as well. Just lives on my media pc at the moment. The docs are pretty straight forward.

I recommend that or zero tier which is even more dead simple. Both are good but cloudflare does care about how much bandwidth you’re using so just bear that in mind if you think you’ll use the server for anything else.

Both are vpn tunnels so either should work just fine.

developers.cloudflare.com/…/connect-networks/

www.zerotier.com/pricing/

Self hosting can get pretty overwhelming but i find that using docs in addition to youtube videos helps a lot. I also recommend giving Linux a go when you feel up to it. It can be a very nice option if you’re working with older hardware.

butt_mountain_69420,

I’ve been messing with Linux on and off since 2005. Anything beyond normie operations usually ends in frustration.

butt_mountain_69420,

Oh I’m not calling those bastards at ATT- fuggin hate 'em

jws_shadotak, in Am I in over my head? Need some encouragement!

Seconding the other user’s post, it’s just storage. You can use it temporarily for the Plex server but I highly recommend offloading that task to a real computer.

A used Optiplex is usually the go-to because it’s low power and capable of doing the job. Just make sure it has enough RAM to handle the containers you wanna put on it.

Docker is a little bit of learning but you’ll get the hang of it. I found docker-compose to be much easier to learn. Portainer or Dockge can help by giving you a GUI, if that’s your preferred style (like me).

rhymepurple, in pooling media libraries - like distributed storage

Could you use symlinks? Not sure what the “gotchas” or downside to this approach is though.

DaPorkchop_,

Downside: it’s entirety manual and not scalable whatsoever.

rhymepurple,

Could you explain further? Wouldn’t this just need to be setup once per server that OP wants to connect?

When you tried caddy and received an error, that looks like you are getting the wrong image name.

Then you mentioned deleting caddyfile as the configuration didn’t work. But, if I am following correctly the caddyfile wouldn’t yet be relevant if the caddy container hadn’t actually ran.

Pulling from Caddys docs, you should just need to run


<span style="color:#323232;">$ docker run -d -p 80:80 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    -v $PWD/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    -v caddy_data:/data 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    caddy
</span>

Where $PWD is the current directory the terminal is currently in.

Further docs for then configuring for HTTPs you can find here under

Automatic TLS with the Caddy image

hub.docker.com/_/caddy

butt_mountain_69420,

I have not tried caddy through docker yet, just running it through a windows command line with admin priv. I’m looking into doing it with Docker, just haven’t started yet.

I will remember how familiar you are with docker!

ikidd, in Self-hosted media tracker recommendations?
@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

Has anyone gotten the Mediatracker scrobbler to work with Kodi? I tried and it doesn’t seem to update, at least with Seren, though I was under the impression scrobblers were addon independent.
