Could call it Sylvie as well (the Marvel gender bent Loki)

To anyone that may want an update:

• Turns out I only had 3 ddr4 sticks (1x16, 2,8), so I am only running 2/3 of the systems I intended
• I had to modify the fuck out of a Vostro’s case, as the M720’s can only hold 1 HDD, 1 SSD and 1 NVME drive
• I had to jumper a PSU to power my 2x10 _12_gb drives as I found out the M720 uses a 10pin power connection, and the 10pin PSU I had doesn’t have a single sata power connection (and is only 280W). I didn’t trust using the 4pin mobo to sata power for 2 12tb HDD’s, especially on a 280W PSU.
• Proxmox is confusing
• Seriously, a lot of (honestly probably AI generated) articles talk about not bothering with a NAS VM, and just using an LXC container, but after spending hours wondering why it wouldn’t work, I found out that unprivileged LXC containers can’t do NFS, at all, and I could not figure out how to make the Samba share read/write, which is a hard requirement.
• The convert to template button is dangerous, and broke my unbound pihole setups for a bit, as using that fancy new template broke things within the lxc container somehow
• I am learning, which is important, right?

Its quite good for music still, and slskd was developed to integrate soulseek with other programs in your *arr stack.

That being said, I just end up using it standalone and just open Picard whenever I remember I have music to sort.

I was definitely debating doing something like that, I would just need to actually learn how.

The cluster would definitely only have 3 systems, one of which having actual storage space and the other 2 having at most 1TB (but would be on SSD/NVME drives).

My biggest concern is if I can migrate my current docker stack without much issue, or if I would have to start from scratch.

A lot of moving parts and unnecessary complexity is why I want to drop Authelia, that and the user management being a text file that I have to modify as root/change permissions on just to change is annoying.

Yeah, I agree with Authelia feeling brittle. I have seen a lot of people switch from traefik to caddy, and I am definitely considering it at this point - I am a bit worried about the lack of GUI as it is definitely easier to see if something is wrong by opening that up (when it actually works) than reading logs, but i also heard caddy has a plugin for a GUI?

I have considered looking at proxmox, but i don’t think i do enough vm’s to justify it, and I dont have any dedicated WAP’s so OPNSense just isnt worth it for me, though if that ever changes I would definitely consider it.

honestly too poor for backup storage atm, I have a manual backup of my important shit, but definitely not a robust setup.

A few people have recommended kanidm, definitely going to look at it - not the biggest fan of Authelia at this point. No real defaults, a ton of configuration steps you need to follow, and SSO was a pain to setup last time I looked.

I have been considering caddy, as traefik has a few weird issues - for example, returning ‘I’m a teapot’ instead of its web frontend for no reason sometimes. Also, its near impossible to get useable certs to share with other services - it stores them in its own format, and the conversion tools dont really work.

Pretty sure I am on the fdroid version, but that is fantastic news.

I should probably actually look at utilising obtanium for apps like finamp.

Since when could you link jellyfin to it?

I am, it doesn’t have android auto.

I honestly dont listen to music enough for it to be worth it to me, but it definitely looked clean and worked well when I tried it.

I just wish it wasnt the only worthwhile option.

Yes, it is good, but i will not spend money on the play store.

I haven’t tried navidrome, but my only gripe with jellyfin for music is that I can’t find any non-subscription apps that work with android auto (if someone wants to point at one, let me know!)

I know jellyfin itself at least used to have android auto compatibility, but it was absolute shit and didn’t have even some of the basic music controls when I tried, and I am unsure if any version of the app still has that even.

Homepage never looks good with backgrounds tbh

The most difficult part of homepage is trying to search if someone else has difficulties/ideas with it, outside of its github issues.

AI Bros are fucking wild.

Auto revoke the device key if your phone isnt within 10’ of your RFID tooth filling for more than 10 minutes.

…We all have one of those for these situations, right?

By default it auto downloads everything, but you can set rules and filters to avoid videos you don’t want.

You also have to explicitly download shorts, as they won’t download by default.

I have been using a docker container - ytdl-sub, which uses yt-dlp to download YouTube videos with metadata for jellyfin

I threw a thinkcenter in my laundry room and did the bare minimum to securely SSH into it (fail2ban, nonstandard port, root login disabled, can’t login with password, etc), to be used as a testing platform for building my workplace a new website.

Just gotta relearn HTML/CSS and figure out what platform to use.

Also set up traefik/Authelia/maybe Anubis for the new domain and block any access outside of my home or workplace.
