Looking for some new ways to use my phone beyond reading and comsuming media.

What are some advanced apps/uses that you guys are using?

This is pretty niche, but damn do I use my phone a lot to manage my Homelab server. In fact, I don't actually currently have access to a computer, so I can ONLY manage my server via my phone.

I use JuiceSSH to SSH into my server.

I use OpenVPN Connect to connect to my server via VPN.

There's also plenty of apps that I use to connect to the *arr suite of software that I have running for media.

[–] giant_smeeg@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah same here. Been using nzb360. Absolutely wicked app!

[–] koinu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm using it too! I currently have LunaSea for direct management of radarr, sonarr, and even tautulli!

I actually prefer it because IMO it has a nicer UI. I do have NZB360 as a backup in case for whatever reason LunaSea fails, but also NZB360 supports adding qBittorrent, so I did!

But I actually found that the app qBittorrent Remote works well, so I use it in conjunction with LunaSea.

So good.

This si currently what I have on my phone, and then I use Google Chrome/Firefox to manage everything else that doesn't have an app/PWA.

[–] giant_smeeg@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Very interesting. I need to check some of these out. Lunasea you say?

[–] koinu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Highly recommend! But be careful, it doesn't support torrents/torrent management. IIRC, the dev wanted the app on both iOS and LunaSea, so he chose to commit torrents from the android version. Fair trade IMO.

[–] giant_smeeg@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah that's fair. I haven't used torrents in years. Usenet!

I got it all setup and think atm I prefer the UI from NZB360 but lunasea is opensource and does seem to display the data better. Will keep both setup for now (Y)

I dropped the lunasea dev a few ££ either way from my google play balance!

[–] giant_smeeg@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

How do you find trakt vs other options?

[–] OptimisticPrime@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Similar, I have a raspberry pi running nextcloud for storage and jellyfin as a mediaserver and I do a lot via phone too. Actually a lot of times I use an app called Raspi check which can send command line inputs that you can save and just tap to send them immediately. Like rebooting for example.

[–] koinu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh wow, that Raspi check sounds super handy!

With JuiceSSH, I still have to first log into and establish SSH connection before I can use the saved "snippets".

[–] OptimisticPrime@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, its maybe not very safe since the app saves your login details. In my case I don't care since my server is not accessible online, just in our home intranet. But it is super useful if you have some commands you repeatedly run. I've been wanting to setup a script to run my backup process fully automated so I could just start it via the app, haven't had time to do that yet.

[–] koinu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I haven't had a chance to play with it, but apparently Ansible is supposed to be able to automate your server commands?

Might be worth a look.

For SSH I usually just use pure OpenSSH over Terminal Emulator.
