I kinda use most of proton's stuff. Also I'm not on the us so no idea what the second part means

Old school user here, back in 2005ish Ubuntu was straightforward, even had "wubi" to install it as a windows app, the site was friendly and easy to navigate (compared to Debian's). Another big plus, they shipped the distro CDs for free worldwide, which was a big deal while I was stuck on a shitty ADSL connection that had constant drops.

Mint came a bit later and the big plus was OOTB codecs support. Back in the day that was one of the first walls most users came across, while Ubuntu pushed for a paid mp3 codec (fluendo?) Mint had most audio and video codecs working right after setup.

The UI wasn't that different between the two, considering Ubuntu was running gnome2 (what mate immitates nowadays)

They do for some time now, at least on both workstation and silverblue you get prompted on the first boot and a reminder after a while on gnome-software

It's on my to-research list. I heard some rumblings that tailscale might go IPO. Not that's bad by itself but I have been burned by stuff like that leaving me stranded once they "pivot their operations to maximize investor satisfaction" (aka enshittification)

Thats what Felix said, im personally a fan of OrganicMaps

Articles too much time too, so I made you this

  • Google bad, tracking sucks
  • Android -> graphene
  • Keep -> joplin
  • Docs -> nextcloud
  • Gmail -> proton
  • GMaps -> car GPS
  • Tailscale
  • Selfhosted on SteamDeck

Jellyfin user here, glad I dodged the bullet when I had to pick between it and plex.

Tl;dr you want something like plex to:

  • manage your media files for you
  • get metadata for extra features (eg. show me similar movies, select an actor from the cast and see all your media with that actor, etc)
  • track your watch progress
  • play on several devices (tv, mobile, pcs consoles)
  • transcode media to a compatible format for your client device
  • share your media library with your family
  • get notified of related media being released (new season of a show or new movie onba series)

And the biggest one for me

  • tidy up ripped dvd/br movie collection, download missing CC or subtitles
  • create a self-hosted alternative to shitty subscription services

Have you tried Synching? If you only need transferring files back and forth and no version control or snapshot-like backups, that might be even simpler

[–] Willdrick@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (5 children)

Tried OCIS a while back and its way faster than NC syncing files, even the initial sync was so fast I didn't trust it was fully done (but it was).

That being said, OCIS is missing several key features I daily use: namely proper DAV support (contacts, calendar, todo, journal, etc) as well as integrations for stuff like SeedVault for mobile backups.

Here's an idea: on your android device use something like Insular to create a work profile, that way you get its own VPN slot, add your selfhosted-related apps there along with Tailscale. You can keep ProtonVPN on for your other apps, while using TS for your "LAN away from home" stuff. Since Tailscale already encrypts all traffic, you don't have to worry about HTTPS, certs, et al.

Not even that, fedora has added for a few versions codecs and proprietary stuff as opt-in "third party repos" during user account creation.

Just put bazzite and enjoy, it takes away all the tinkering

 

Has anybody here managed to install Funkwhale using Portainer? I've already tried 3 times, first tried a template, but turns out the AIO container is deprecated, then tried modifying the default docker-compose and env files available on Funkwhale's repo, didn't work (couldn't run the required commands to create a user). Then I spun up a brand new debian 12 LXC container on proxmox, ran their quick install script and failed (something related to snapd, even though it was installed).

Up until now I've been an avid Navidrome user, but since we've been cutting some costs, Spotify had to go. Too late I realised Navidrome has no library separation: Even though you can have multiple users, they all pull from the same library, making it a mess.

I'm just looking for a simple deployment I can use either within my LAN or via TailScale, just for me and a few family members.

 

I'm looking for a media player/OS for an ARM SBC that can stream from my navidrome (subsonic compatible) music server, and be controlled via either a web GUI or an android app. I'd love to hear what you guys came up with!

Currently really happy with my setup, I'm using Navidrome as my music server, along with Ultrasonic as my phone client.

I've set up a (dumb/analog) speaker system on my workshop, and I'd like to be able to listen to music there, but I don't want to add a whole setup (be it an old laptop, or add kb/mouse, monitor and such) and my phone no loner has a 3.5mm jack.

I have a Raspberry Pi 3, an OrangePi Zero, and an OrangePi PC+. I'd rather use the zero or the PC+ since they're kinda unstable/wonky and I don't trust them anymore for stuff I want to keep running 24/7 (like pihole).

I'm open to testing other music servers (volumio maybe?) on my main homelab if that means having the ability to change the client/sink from the app/gui (something like what Spotify does, where you can pick from any client to stream to other clients/speakers)

My server is a regular pc hidden away behind the tv console, it's running ubuntu server and most services run inside docker.

One of the most used services is Jellyfin. It works reliably on all PCs but it's a mess on my samsung tv running tizen. I enabled developer mode and built jellyfin app for it, but depending on the codec or size, it'll buffer or skip audio and its getting really annoying.

How would you go about adding a jellyfin frontend (jellyfin media player) on the server itself, since I could plug in a 2m HDMI cable for video output?

EDIT: I should probably explain a bit better. The server has a Ryzen 3 3200G with integrated graphics, so video output itself would be trivial (just plug an HDMI cable to the motherboard output). Right now if I plug it in, I get a TTY since it's a server distro not intended to have a GUI. My question was more along the lines of how to set up the lightest graphical session to run jellyfin media player (probably via flatpak so it's independent of the OS environment).

In general it would be somewhat easy to set up a bare X/Wayland session and just launch the program, but the part I forsee being troublesome is the "newer" tech: surround sound (via e-arc) 4k and HDR. Right now, whenever I use the jellyfin tizen app, if it "likes" the video file (transcoding is disabled due to weak cpu) it works perfectly, 4k, HDR, 5.1... I don't have much of a budget or even space to build a secondary HTPC, although I do have a spare Rpi 3b... worst case scenario I could try something like OSMC, but I'd rather have a consistent UX (Jellyfin as the frontend for everything)
