I’ve been ripping my anime bluray collection and wanted to have an easier way to sort it for Jellyfin, so I wanted to try Shoko Server, but it’s not recognizing any of my anime. It sees the actual files, but categorizes them all as Unrecognized, making the entire idea of using it for automated sorting pointless. I’m...
I’m new to self hosting and just got CasaOS setup following up to part two of Tech DB’s guide. The SMB works on my Linux computer, I can create documents, etc. However I’m having trouble accessing it on my Android phone. I’m using Material Files, Search for SMB shares, and find “CASAOS” but it’s under a different...
Hello! I was wondering if running periodically a script to automatically pull new images for all my containers is a good or a bad idea. I’d run it everyday at 5.00AM to avoid interruptions. Any tips?
As a long-term MythTV user, I read all the discussion about Plex vs Jellyfin, but I’m still here… recording Live TV, watching films, listening to “me choonz” all on free, open-source software. What am I missing? Any other MythTV users out there?
I understand that people enter the world of self hosting for various reasons. I am trying to dip my toes in this ocean to try and get away from privacy-offending centralised services such as Google, Cloudflare, AWS, etc....
I want to host some engine, but don’t know which. I know about searxng and 4get, for example, but I know that there are a lot of other search engines. Here is question: how to pick one and by what criteria?
This is a part from an IBM server dated 2008 that I want to reuse in my new computer. It essentially converts from 1 SAS port to 4 SATA ports. I’ll use the raid card to connect to it via SAS, but I do not know what the power port is and what the connector on the top is either
So lemmiverse, my pxtl.ca domain has officially been booted off of Google Domains (welcome to the Google graveyard, Google Domains) and now has been moved into Squarespace, which is expensive....
Normally my *arr -> Plex setup is quite painless, but lately I’ve had a bunch of imports failing which appear to be multi-part files with a .MKV file in a “sample” subdirectory....
I dived into the selfhosting rabbit hole once again and again I am stuck at the hardware part. I’d like to start small-ish to make it realisable. I thought about a NAS (Openmediavault probably). First I wanted to do it on a Raspberry Pi with an external hard-drive but then I read USB connected drives are unreliable and so on....
Hello! I have a problem: sometimes I instinctively refer to a movie by the English name (for example, Star Wars), but if I search for it in jellyfin it is not found, as the italian translated name is “Guerre Stellari”. I’d like to be able to search for it with both the original name and the translated name. The original...
Pro: 1Gb upload and download speeds on free Internet provided by the HOA. Con: As a self hoster, I have zero control over it. No port forwarding, no DMZ, no bridge mode. It’s Starbucks free WiFi with a wired connection....
My family needs a new router to replace the old (though not old enough that it should be dying) netgear router that is slowly dying. I want to do something with good foss firmware like opnsense or openwrt. I was thinking that the BananaPi options look good, but had some concerns. I would like to install the firmware myself,...
So this is an interesting one I can’t figure out myself. I have Proxmox on a PowerEdge R730 with 5 NICs (4 + management). The management interface is doing its own thing so don’t worry about that. Currently I have all 4 other interfaces bonded and bridged to a single IP. This IP is for my internal network (192.168.1.0/24,...
