For those on iOS looking for a companion app, check out plappa for a great app to access your Audiobookshelf/jellyfin instance. It works flawlessly for me, no data collection, and it allows downloading books in advance for on the go if you choose not to have external access to your server.

This is c/selfhosted

Everything into ~/Downloads/ until the partition is full.

in the desktop version all ports are open by default

Closest you’re gettin’ to any action this weekend is givin’ the dairy cow’s teets a good scrubbin’.

Following this guide, an error will occur re the pgp during the install, it did for me. Make sure you run *both after the cli commands

sudo dnf check-update && sudo dnf upgrade

and

sudo dnf install --refresh proton-vpn-gnome-desktop 

You must accept the keys as outlined or it fails down the road. It never asked until running above code.

That did it for me. Good luck.

Very happy with Plappa. Highly recommend. One off purchase, no subscription.

For anyone looking for a good iOS front end for their Audiobookshelf instance, I can highly recommended Plappa (and off topic Paperparrot for paperless by the same dev). One off and affordable purchase, no subscription.

Appreciate the walkthrough and follow up.

Sacrilege!

You got your answers before, you just don’t want to accept them. The relationship between budget and performance expectation still borders delusion.

To quote u/Peachman who hit the nail on the head:

Looking for recommendations for a racecar, at least 800 horsepower. Needs to hit 60 mph in under 4 seconds. My budget is $2000. Please give recommendations. LOL

Fork out more money or lower your expectation.

I have had this happen before on a HP Elitedesk for some reason.

This sounds implausible, but I just gave it an inordinate amount of time to proceed out of this state. I just left it, went to do the shopping, came back some hours later and it had progressed to the next step. YMMV.
