I can’t access my Jellyfin library right now because the backend is apparently too old (wtf).

Are you using the binhex image by any chance? I had this same problem, just had to update it from the apps/community center page instead of from the docker page.

Going on 6Tb of movies and tv

On an orangepi5, managed via webUIs and SSH: -Home Assistant and associated programs (notably zigbee2mqtt and nodered) -Pihole

8TB Unraid NAS managed via Unraid’s webui -Whooole *arr stack -Jellyfin -Mealie

Thinking about nextcloud for the next one.

Swisher sweets but backwoods works too

Unless I’m misunderstanding, I do believe it is that simple, yes.

Because losers here use downvotes to mean “I disagree”

Eh fuck it, what are they going to do, call the FBI on me? Employer certainly doesn’t care.

However I would prefer if there was a way to route the traffic through VPN.

It would almost certainly depend on what VPN and what TV you have, but I believe I’ve heard of native VPN apps that can be installed on Android TVs.

Jellyfin certainly has a little bit of wonk to it, but as far as basic functionality I find it just as easy as Plex.

I think the first decision to make is pre built vs DIY. The most common pre built solution would be something like Synology. You may start researching there and see if that would fit your needs, or what people do as alternatives.

I personally built one with a similar use case and use Unraid for my OS. The other normal option is TrueNAS.

With that budget you’ll be able to get a good result.

Yeah my daily driver for awhile has been Debian stable. All the normal day to day tasks can very easily be accomplished with only gui tools. My CLI stuff is more or less limited to ssh access to other machines and some light docker tinkering.

Honestly the reason is I thought that it was an easy way to fit my use case- I just may have misunderstood what it was capable of.

Been addicted as shit to this for like a week

For project A, I’d look into tailscale. I’d advise against having home assistant open to the internet otherwise.

Don’t know anything about your other project, sorry.

Do not buy random TV boxes off AliExpress, like 80% of them are malware

How do you handle discovering new music? That’s a big sticking point for me

Not so much refuse, but I don’t currently pirate games or music. The systems available to me are too convenient for me to waste time fucking around with piracy.

The download page for qbittorrent says that MacOS is “barely supported”. Is docker reasonably accessible for Mac? You could use that to get qbittorrent.

Assuming you’re watching on a smart TV, can you just screen share/screen cast from a phone or tablet?

This is the way
