  • So far I’ve created a new ProxMox container for each application I wanted to run. So I have pihole running in an LXC, Nextcloud in another LXC, Audiobookshelf in yet another LXC, Home Assistant in a VM, etc.

    I’m sure that could be done more efficiently with Docker, but for some reason that just doesn’t want to click. I don’t know where the applications end up installed at, I don’t know how to configure stuff, nor how to run multiple docker containers on the same machine.

    Immich is the first application I have managed to get running full time in Docker, but I’ve already encountered an issue with uploads that I can’t solve, because I have no idea where to find the config files, nor how to restart it. So I’ll leave it as is, for now. Maybe when my brain can get engaged, I can try again.





  • It’s primarily used for audiobooks. Those need to be stored somewhere.
    The podcast feature of Audiobookshelf uses the same structure, so the server downloads the file and the client can then find it and either download it to your local device or stream it from your server.

    If you don’t want that, I wouldn’t use Audiobookshelf as an intermediary tool. I’d use Pocket Casts, or antennapod or some such.


  • It took me a while to get my head around how it worked, and initially I would have enormous automations “turn on light X at 75%”, “turn on light Y at 55%”, “turn on power outlet XYZ”, “close shades window XYZ” for each and every lamp and feature I wanted for the evening, for instance. And you could actually see those things happen sequentially.

    Now it’s just “turn on scene 1” and poof all lights are on exactly how I want them.
