Yes, you’re so helpful. We are so lucky to have you.

You are clearly in the wrong here. Please take a time-out.

I used Plex for a long time but moved to Jellyfin after reading about the general direction Plex is going (trying to commercialize it, partner up with industry, make it more than just a self hosted media service).

Both have what you’re looking for.

I would say Plex is slightly easier and has the benefit of PlexAmp (available for Linux, Windows, and mobile).

That being said, Jellyfin is about the same ease to get set up, but it’s just a tad less polished, but in sort of a nice way. It feels more like “yours”, if that makes sense.

For both, I recommend hosting them in Docker, using Docker Compose, and using the LinuxServer version. LinuxServer maintains updated software, packaged in an easy to install format and they help you out with sample Docker Compose files and explanations to get things running.

Honest quetion, what’s a stan account?

I don’t have a tech background. Currently hosting 25 different things in docker. I wonder if there are actually more non-tech people who do it, because tech industry people might want to take a break in their off time.

You could replace them with z-wave switches. The switches by default would control the respective lights they’re wired to, but you could use scenes to control the other switch. For example, 2x up on the canister light switch turns on the pendant light (and not the canister lights, unless you want that, too).

I have similar stuff programmed with Home Assistant using Node-Red, but the normal automation stuff would work, too.

Home Assistant/Node-Red sees that Scene 2 (or whatever) has been called for, and then does whatever you want.

Thank you! I’ve already updated.

Good question. HA Green looks pretty cool. With that processor, though, running something like Frigate might not work very well.

For me, I run HA on a normal computer that I turned into a “server”. Home Assistant was a gateway drug and now I run all sorts of other stuff in addition to it. I use Proxmox (as described in the article) so HA is a virtual machine, and there’s a Debian virtual machine with a bunch of Docker stuff going. Having Docker run in a VM makes backups much easier.

For HA alone, the Green looks pretty cool. Most people probably won’t outgrown it, but I certainly have.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Yes. It’s not just the community that you mentioned. Bans for any sort of comment that disagrees with the opinions of the mods or admins.

They spout rhetoric about echo chambers while they’re the worst example.

I agree in general, but banned or not, this info needs to be spread loud and clear. lemmy.ml is a horrible place. I haven’t been banned from any communities there, for what it’s worth.

Click the “Documentation” tab and it has instructions on how to get it set up. 👍

I have Frigate set up with an Amcrest IP2M. I ended up buying a second wifi AP because my 2.4GHz was really clogged up after turning it on (probably related to a bunch of other stuff already on the same network).

It “phones home” a lot so I put it on a separate vlan and disabled internet access for it.

I definitely don’t have this option that I can find. Do I have to reinstall HACS I wonder?

I’m doing this with Immich as the photo storage software, MagicMirror OS on a raspberry pi, and the MMM-ImmichSlideShow module to show the pictures on an old computer monitor.

If you’re new to self hosting stuff, this will be sort of difficult to get set up. If you’re comfortable with the command line, config files, docker, etc, then it’s worth the effort.

I recommend just getting either:

1. A cheap prebuilt desktop computer, or
2. Build yourself a computer

It doesn’t have to be a “server”.

That review started off promising, but then the guy starts selling it. Boo.

Same. I still keep portainer around in case I want to browse/manage images and networks from a GUI, though.

Dockge makes it so much easier to update things, though.

I don’t plan on being back at the hospital for a while, so I guess we’ll never find out!

I use a wildcard certificate, I wonder how common that is? That might be something they block, but yeah… I wonder why.

This quote is hilarious.
