Does it not need to transcode then if it runs on cheap hardware?

Arr can do it

My suggestion is either to use one device, that has a decent enough GPU for transcoding, to do everything or a separate NAS drive purely for storage and a separate PC with that GPU capability for jellyfin/plex + Immich. Home assistant and arr aren’t that resource hungry. Also go for Usenet instead of torrents. Good luck and happy sailing.

To be honest, you need that weekend with Linux too but it’s fun instead of dread, and you get to set it up in a whole new way

Yep, tell her to call you over to set it up and phone you anytime 24/7 if it breaks

Completely agree, and I think it’s fair for them to make it a paid feature. It’s kind of like using wireguard yourself to create a whole network vs Tailscale.

Must be a kernel issue

Pretty sure someone would have already done it. Anything with a screen and some sort of computer behind it is low hanging fruit for doom. It’s shit like running it on a calculator using potatoes that raises the bar!

No no, we won’t be having any of that. It’s not GIF it’s GIF!

I’m in the 4th box where there’s nothing to do so you try something new and botch up systemd or netplan or something enough to warrant a fresh install and start again

Dude it sounds you’re over skilled for the job. You just need to read some guides and you probably know already how networking works, very basic linux commands, linux folder structures, and then the concept of docker - primarily how it maps networking & folders from your “host machine” to the “docker container”, and how it loads services using a docker compose file. Especially for nextcloud, domain dns management and dynamic dns etc would be very helpful knowledge.

Also, just a suggestion, chatgpt etc are super useful. You tell them what you want and it spits out custom instructions for your setup, and you’re able to counter question at any point. If it does make mistakes, which it will, it’s a learning opportunity for you to troubleshoot and figure out how everything works. All the best and if you have a question feel free to message me.

If you’re planning on upgrading the CPU, GPU and RAM, have you considered keeping the old stuff and running 2 systems, splitting the load so to say? Could do those random services and Nextcloud, photoprism (unsolicited suggestion - try Immich too!), the OCR thing, etc on the old one and keep the new one for gaming, your forum that needs transcoding, and Jellyfin?

Edit - Afterthought: your old system could then be headless too

Not at all!

I think it’s amazing and needs a universe of tv shows and movies

That’s the whole advantage of block chain. You can add more lego blocks to your desk and keep the chain going.

As a person who doesn’t know or understand this stuff at all, just by reading the list of companies and the fact that some of them will pursue this on their own anyway, it seems like this is going to lead nowhere

No, sorry I haven’t tried it with Syncthing. Mainly using it for immich, seafile, a matrix server, some arr apps and a status monitor called dashdot. Would be useful for syncthing though, never thought of trying it - I’ll give it a shot over the weekend and let you know how it goes!

Thanks, it took some prompts but it worked in the end! I used a few subdomains of an actual domain I use for email…

I used chatgpt to create the exact steps, commands and configurations I needed for my setup and achieved this the seemingly cheatful way. I used nginx and certbot. Worked like a charm. Congrats!
