I am going to build a router with OPNSense (in Proxmox, on an HP thin client). I am stuck with setting up the networking (I have the Inel 4-port card). I don’t really know how to get started. Right now my device has one LAN cable going into it, and my consumer router is doing everything. I can set up a bridge for the other...
Following on from this discussion: reddthat.com/post/6044040I finally updated my VPS setup - deleted everything and started fresh with a whole new approach. I decided to make a full writeup for anyone that might find it useful or at least mildly interesting. I’m not an expert in any of the concepts that I wrote about so...
Hi, looking for a way to automatically download audio files with ytdl whenever i add a video to a specific invidious playlist. Hope this makes sense :)...
I am worried that externally caused vibrations might damage my HDDs (NAS in the planning). The subway / metro runs under my building, and every time the train passes, this causes slight but measurable vibrations in the 50-100 Hz frequency range. It is more like a rumbling noise than the usual vibration of a passing train....
I have a jellyfin instance running with radarr/sonarr/… for my media needs on my vps....
I spent two hours today trying to figure out why Nextcloud couldn’t read my data directory. Docker wasn’t mounting my data directory. Moved everything into my data directory. Docker couldn’t even see the configuration file....

I want to configure a local webcam to stream (and possibly record) a live feed open to the internet, and acess it half-world away while traveling, using FOSS only acessing it via Android VLC...
I’m using a Protectli FW6B as my opnsense firewall/router. I’m upgrading my internet service to 1.5 GB fiber and I’m not sure what to do with this device once I do. I could continue using it as my router (I guess put it on the LAN side of the supplied Bell “Gigahub” router/WiFi ap/whatever the fiber equivalent of a...
I’m a novice Linux user. Comfortable with command line but far from a whiz. Have to duckduckgo a lot of stuff to figure out what I’m doing....
Very solid price, the cheapest I’ve seen for something like this. Has anyone tried it with OPNsense or other software?...

I’ve been slowly working my way though a list of skills to learn, both to put on my resume and as personal growth. Networking is the next thing on this list. I am not sure what I am looking for, but I want to start another project. I have built many a personal computer, but the world of networking is a pretty foreign concept...
I have recently repurposed and old Hp Stream to a home server and successfully run Immich. I really like it and even a small 500GB disk is way more than the 15GB Google offers....
I run a full media server, as well do a few friends. Now we had the idea to share our media libraries. In a first quick attempt we, mounted each other’s library folder via an smb share and imported those in jellyfin (all servers connected by VPN) Works quite well, but is kind of cumbersome the more people get in. I had the...
I am attempting to follow this procustodibus.com/…/wireguard-port-forward-from-i… to forward traffic from a few ports on a public oracle vps to other ports on my local server through a wireguard connection. Currently I am doing this using rinetd, but I was looking for a more normal way of forwarding traffic. (Also looking to...
Built a nice little PiKVM and deployed it in my NAS. The NAS is heavy and placed in a dark half-height place under the stairs so it’s awkward when things go wrong and you need hardware access....
Hi, as the title says, when streaming to the jellyfin app an a fire TV, the video freezes every two minutes. This happens when direct streaming, so it shouldn’t be a transcoding issue. Useing the website it works just fine. Any idea how I can find out what this is?...
After an all-too-long development phase, I’m opening the new year with a new version of Tempo. This new version brings with it Android Auto support, one of the most requested features of all time....
I’m looking to keep track of my watchlist/watched list. Found flox, watcharr, and MediaTracker....
Hi! I’m searching for a Miro or FigJam alternative to self-host on my Raspberry Pi 4 Kubernetes Cluster. Any ideas for a good whiteboard software?
