11th gen i3 NUC, headless Debian.

7 or 8w idle for the server. Comes to about 10eur per year. I couldn’t justify using more without feeling like a hypocrite who also advocates for energy conservation.

• Music directory -> directory for each artist -> directory for each album
• All files are properly tagged, also contain album art
• Lrc or text lyrics files next to mp3/flac files
• Locally, directory is reachable on SMB network share and DLNA for network players
• Navidrome serves the whole thing for streaming on the internet when I’m not home and presents everything in a browser for convenience when no app is used, on android I listen with Tempus
• Nextcloud can also reach it
• lrcget used for lyrics, mp3tag used for tagging
• Generally deal with full albums only

Lemmy feels very gen z ish though.

My server got hacked once and was mining crypto! I noticed it when I heard the fans were at 100% when walking passed the room lol. Turns out, qbittorrent-nox used UPNP for its web admin endpoint enabled by default and qbittorrent can do many things like run custom scripts. My mistake was not changing its login credentials. Exposed my full system. Live and learn.

I remember a time when the gaming community’s darling, CDPR, sent lawyers to people’s homes, demanding they pay because they pirated The Witcher 2.

I don’t know how times have changes, but it definitely happened depending on when and where you lived.

waves hard drives with loose cables around
It’s just a hard drive! What’s the problem?!
gets shot

lrcget

I used this and it did exactly want I wanted, great tool. Thanks!

Anyone know a good way to automatically tag audio files with lyrics? Like how mp3tag pulls data from musicbrainz and tags tiles in a few clicks.

Thanks for the info. Will check it out.

I hope you one day add client sourced snapshot content so pages behind an authentication layer can be archived. Would also make for better snapshots on pages where pesky cookie pop-ups cover the screen…

You’re installing a headless system right? Ubuntu and Debian are going to have very similar if not downright identical day to day operating procedures, including installing and setting up new things. Ubuntu is going to have software packages coming from a different repository and they may be newer (though this rarely matters) and the initial install may be different. One is backed by a for profit corporation and one by a large open source community. Whenever you need help, guides for Debian will probably work on Ubuntu and vice versa.

For home self hosting use, it boils down to you own philosophy. In practice, it won’t really matter… they’re both really similar.

I proudly use Debian BTW.

Yeah, Tempo hasn’t had any updates in a while. I used it originally, but moved to this fork.

Not all data is equal. I backup things i absolutely can not lose and yolo everything else. My love for this hobby does not extend to buying racks of hard drives.

It reeks of “manufactured organic content” if that makes sense. This may not have been OPs intention, but it kinda checks those marks:

• post content, praise it, don’t mention you make and sell it
• another user finds out you make and sell it, posts store link
• post disguised as advert, manufactured organic conversation around the product creates an effective advertisment

It leaves a bad taste in my mouth because this is what modern advertising is and I prefer to have full transparency. A disclosure in the post would have been nice. Again, I’m not saying this was OP’s intention, it just hits the same points.

I got them from Etsy

Ugh… just say you made them if is your shop… this is leaving a bad taste in my mouth, even if the product looks nice…

There are no valid assumptions for port 80 imo. Unless your software is literally a pure http server, you should assume something else has already bound to port 80.
Why do I have vague memories of Skype wanting to use port 80 for something and me having issues with that some 15 years ago?
Edit: I just realized this might be for containerized applications… I’m still used to running it on bare metal. Still though… 80 seems sacrilege.

No :/ my server will probably die with me. My people are going to complain why homeassistant isn’t working, why automated lights don’t turn on and why nothing has been added to the plex library in forever. Just not sure who they’ll complain to lol.
At the end of the day, its my hobby and they’ll just have to live with how it was before. The hardware will be there if anyone wants to start up their own thing, but I don’t see it happening.

When something doesn’t work, I do sudo docker ps lol.

Used to run on a pi 4 but moved to a 11th Gen NUC and wouldn’t go back. Well, the pi was nice when I didn’t have any money but the performance boost of just an i3 is hard to beat. With headless debian 13, the nuc now draws 5w idle. Seriously low consumption, costs like 10eur in electric energy per year. Pi 4 still found a home for homeassistant +zigbee stack.
