Well, no. If they do because I’m looking for something more obscure, cleanuparr removes the dead torrent on its own. Check your indexers in prowlarr. You probably need to add some more to get decent results that have more seeds.

If your downloads are getting stuck then no, it’s not set up properly. Double check your filters and custom format rules. Also, you can use Cleanuparr to automatically remove stalled downloads and trigger a new search.

Well, if you’re storing data you care about on your server you kind of need to have redundancy. The best filesystem for that (imo) is ZFS so yes, you should use that (or something similar). Apparently you do use a “scalable storage solution” but you also seem fond of mystery.

If one of the raidz drives is removed from the array, and you’re not encrypting your datasets, someone could recover data from the drive.

The solution is in the question. Just encrypt the dataset.

If you’re using a raidz array (which you should) the data would be irrecoverable anyways when you dispose of a single drive, wouldn’t it? Also, why would you throw away a server drive that still works?

Does that matter if you’re self hosting and not exposing it to the internet?

That’s a bit odd considering how much more popular Immich is, but ok.

Any reason to pick this over Immich?

My thought was that (maybe) the server (aka fathom in this case) could be the one that has the active youtube session so that it fetches the stream and then uploads it to the client. Acting like a proxy of sorts. To youtube, the user is always where the server is, but you can move around freely without issues.

Yeah except that YouTube support told me that they can detect if you’re using a vpn or no. At least in my case, using ProtonVPN that seems to be the case because when I try to subscribe to premium, it says that they can’t verify my country.

I’m assuming the youtube client is precisely that, right? Meaning that it’s the client that fetches the stream, not the server. Asking because Google’s been very annoying about not veing able “verify my country” due to travelling for extended periods of time. So I’m trying to find a way to spoof my location.

“They” don’t have to do that. They can just install the jellyfin server .exe in their computer and point it to their libraries, that’s it. As time goes on they couls slowly start adding plugins or learning how more advanced features work. But hey, if you want to pay a thirs party to access your own media, go ahead. We all make mistakes in life xD

If you tell me you don’t have time, sure. Been there, done that. However, “too complicated”? Nah. I’m also not trying to convert people to Jellyfin users. Use what you want to. Doesn’t mean that I can’t think you’re making the wrong choice. I’m as free to think and say what I want as you are.

Uhm, no? I just use the lan IP for my jellyfin server at all times. The only difference between being phisically in the same place and outside is that I enable tailscale when I’m outside. I’m telling you, this is far simpler than you’re making it out to be.

I get subtitles for all the languages I want automatically so I don’t know if it works as “nicely” as plex, but it does work.

EDIT: Damn, you plex users are butthurt af xd

Dude, my “infrastructure” is an old desktop pc with truenas and arr stack + jellyfin apps. I haven’t done anything more than update the apps every now and then for over a year. I think you’re exaggerating how much effort it actually requires. Not to mention that this is all for a setup that manages requesting, downloading and sorting the media as well.

If you just want to view what you already have, you can simply install jellyfin server in the pc where your videos are, point the libraries to the correct folder and that’s it. To use it simply download the app on your device. If you want to get fancy you can install a plugin to use as the subtitle provider. To use outside your house just install tailscale. Doing all of that would take like 2 hours, tops.

Oh and there’s nothing to secure if you don’t expose it to the internet directly.

If you want to be lazy and pay a subscription, go ahead. I don’t think it’s worth what they’re asking.

My problem in the first place is that due to my ISP 's limitations, I can’t run wireguard. If I could run it, I would do that instead of using headscale.

I think having distinctly separate utilities for each part of makes the whole thing work is better. But hey, what do I know? If only been running jellyfin + arr stack for 6 users without them ever complaining for over a year.

If you prefer paying a monthly bill instead of spending an afternoon configuring some services, you do you.

Maybe they should.

Someone doesn’t know how to configure bazarr…

Tailscale is as simplified as it gets and it doesn’t require any knowledge, configuration or maintenance. The fact that you can use it for free makes me wary, but you can’t deny how simple it is to use. Just log in with your account in all of the devices you want to access jellyfin on and voila. It’s as if they were in the same lan.
