Another vote for navidrome. I tried substreamer on android ibdid not like the search. I use symfonium easy interface let’s me randomize in many ways.
On a side question anybody have suggestions for automatically creating genre based m3u files? I would like to setup “radio” like stations but adding my music to a playlist.
Just a thought if you are interested. VMware let’s you export the data and then proxmox will read that exported data to a qcow file
I never stopped using it and just got an update today or yesterday for it. I was going on what was posted here. I never meant to start any trouble.
I use Debian as well for all my servers whether they are a VM or container. It is light weight, well supported and dead stable.
It is not necessarily about saving space so much as it is about uniformity. And yes my server is beefy but you get 3 or 4 people all transcoding at the sane time and that beefy server will choke. As I have said I have been collecting for many years with a very large mixed bag of codecs I am just trying to clean up the mess that is my media.
The server that runs the bulk of my homelab does not have a graphics card. My TrueNas Scale server does as well as my desktop. The video’s are stored on the NAS and the remote shares are available on any system. So no graphics card in the server(s) is not ideal but They are beefy servers and still plenty capable of running ffmpeg but the conversion does not have to happen there.
I am not looking to adjust quality of the video or audio just change the codec. I am not necessarily converting ONLY from h264 my media consumption goes back many years and as such is a huge mixed bag of codecs. My videos are not coming exclusively from streaming services.
I am investigating TDARR I know a few people have suggested it. I like the nodes feature so I can use my desktop running a heavy GPU as my 2U server cant really run a graphics card (no power connectors for it). I am using a multi node server with E5 XEON chips.
There are a few things about jellyfin that I don’t like compared to Plex. First I can’t skip the intro of a show drives me nuts. The second one is it has newly added but not newly released. Other then that it has been really good.
I use navidrome for the streaming and lidarr for downloads. I am not totally thrilled with navidrome as I can not play genres. I want to setup an icecast streaming server with individual “channels” for each genre
Nginx, caddy and haproxy are 3 choice for reverse proxy. The way a reverse proxy works is it looks on port 80 and 443 for requests to a DNS connection. Like say you want to go to jellyfin you may have a DNS entry for jellyfin.personalsite.tld the reverse proxy will then take that and redirect the connection to the proper port and server behind your firewall. You do not need multiple reverse proxies. In the case of haproxy and nginx (only ones I have experience with) you create a “back end connection” like explained above and it will redirect. In the case of nginx it is very small I installed it natively and setup configs for each of my services for easy maintenance.
I have a question on top of my matrix setup. Has any one integrated VoIP? I am trying to bring all communication in house.
I recently setup a full matrix server. What I am currently worried about is my server. I am currently shopping for a used dual Xeon server. I am hosting close to 40 docker containers on 2 1 liter PCs with very low specs. I would love to bring it all in house to a single server with a separate NAD which I do have currently holding 60 terabytes of storage space.
I feel the same way. I use fedora on my laptops and desktops and debian on my servers. Generally my servers do not have or need a gui so debian makes it easy to install without. I tried fedora server once and i just was not happy with it.
