Yeah, a pi could probably do that, I know everything except the fediverse instance will work, and the fediverse instance may, I’ve just never tried it, so I don’t know!
One suggestion I’d make is this: A lot of tutorials these days will have you set things up in Docker. Docker is a great tool, and at some point in your journey you should learn how to use it, but it does sort of abstract away a lot of the services you’re running.
I never had considered before a few days ago that someone would host Alexandrite alongside their instance so it never occurred to me that someone might first interact with Lemmy through Alexandrite. I will definitely add registration!
Unfortunately, my CPU does not support quicksync; I’m using dual E5-2650v2s in the server that hosts Jellyfin. It’s been a while since I researched it, but I believe that Haswell was the first architecture with quicksync; my CPUs are Ivy Bridge. I’ve been wanting to upgrade for a while, but it really comes down to the fact that it runs all of my VMs and containers just fine, and there’s always somewhere else I find to spend my money.
Regardless, the Jellyfin docs say that tone mapping is only supported via CUDA, which would mean I couldn’t use quicksync anyway.
I’m doing it as VM running in truenas, it works perfect. The LAN nic is shared between host and OpnSense and the wan is passed through to the VM as hardware.
It’s much better than my USG4 pro, so that is next to the server turned off
A bit more about mine now that I have a little more time, it’s a VM on vmWare, it has two virtual interfaces, on on my DMZ vlan, and the other is a trunk with the rest of my vlans. With the *sense, I have 2 phisical I terfaces, and then virtual interfaces that correspond to the VLANs. My router is plugged into my switch on an access port for the DMZ, and the ESXi hosts are connected to the switch with VLAN trunks. This allows me to migrate the router to another host for reboots.
I have opnsense virtualized on a proxmox server with a couple of things that should hardly ever need restarts. It actually works pretty well because the host almost never needs a reboot and rebooting a vm is way faster than bare metal
And another vote for Navidrome. I use it vith DSub frontend (the only one I've found that supports DLNA, for playing back on any DLNA renderer device) and Tailscale for remote access.
Flathub is likely safer than most other places to get flatpaks from, certainly safer than just some random repo you find on some guy’s website somewhere, but no software source is guaranteed to be 100% safe.
