Well where is the fucking money, Lebowski?

Piwigo loocks great. How does it compare to Immich?

That sounds like a great idea.

At the moment I am using Openmediavault as a VM within proxmox - I pass my HDDs through to this VM. Openmediavault let’s me do all the stuff I want to: Share folders via SSH, NFS and raid-management.

Do you know if I can do the same with proxmox directly? Do you maybe have a link where this way is described in detail?

Yes, convenience is the main reason people like you use discord. But there are many reasons against using it and I am sure you know all of them, so no need for a discussion.

Just wanted to highlight: you are part of the discord problem.

“Hop on the discord server”… Boooo. What happened to the good old Forum. Searchable and all.

Follow me on instagram for more great criticism.

Lemmy interpreted the * as something cursive. I try to edit it like I mean it.

Sorry to hear, I feel you:

I wanted to delete all .m3u-files in my music collection when I learned:

find ./ -name "*.m3u" -delete -> this would have been the right way, all .m3u in the current folder would have been deleted.

find ./ -delete -name "*.m3u" -> WRONG, this just deletes the current folder and everything in it.

Who would have known, that the position of -delete actually matters.

I bought a used Synology before knowing more about NAS alternatives. I hated every minute with it… Because it was a bit older, security updates could stop anytime. And using the proprietary OS felt even more unsave. Who knows what backdoors are build in there? I sold it after I found out that there is no way to install a custom OS or any alternative to the proprietary version.

Edit: found a picture of it:

However to expect things to just be done for us out of the kindness of people’s hearts I think is bordering on entitled.

Yes, there are people who do that, but there are many more people in the FOSS world who don’t expect anything and instead contribute.

Focusing on the entitled people won’t make you happy, reagardless the topic.

My father printed the GNU license 100 times, rolled it up and gave me a good beating with it. The only true way to learn about the four freedoms.

I can only assume, that these downvotes are meant as a not so smart joke.

What is the name of the client software on the pi? How did you connect your pi to an amplifier?

And I have no intention of living off the technological grid to mitigate that.

I would argue that you are already living off the technology grid. Before starting my FOSS journey, every software I used was a dull ‘Just click here and let the algorithm do it’s job’. By beeing conscious about the software I am using now, I accidently found a lot of joy in technical things, feeling a lot more ‘on’ the technological grid than before.

Can you elaborate on what doomsday scenario you’re referring to?

I am not the commenter above, but my greatest fear with all those data hungry companies is the control and power we give to not elected entities. Knowing all about every person in a state and knowing how to use this data for targeted ads, targeted video recommendations, targeted search results,…, could make a difference in elections and law making. It is basically undermining democracy, and I am a big fan of real democracy.

I am a total beginner in this regard, but maybe maybe this could help you:

Check out PBR - policy-based-routing. On OpenWRT there is an app for this task, vpn-policy-routing (together with luci-app-vpn-policy-routing for a GUI inside LuCi). This app helped me to route all traffic coming from my PiVPN to the WAN interface, instead of my commercial NordVPN. Now at home all my traffic goes to NordVPN and when I am not at home I can easily VPN into my home network.

Other than that, the OpenWRT Forum is very helpful, don’t hesitate to ask your questions there.

Thank you, that sounds like my favorite option so far!

That summarized my situation pretty good. Since a year now I switched everything to Linux, selfhosting seems to be a natural extension of that.

May I ask, since you have a very beginner-friendly way of writing:

I run a separate NAS with an SMB share.

Why did you choose SMB instead of NFS? I read here that NFS is very efficient and fast.

Docker good

Many people here have very convincing arguments for docker. While checking it out I saw that it uses partly proprietary licenses. Why are so many people so sure that docker won’t pull a ‘Unity-stunt’ and make their knowledge about docker obsolete?

LXC is more efficient, but it’s harder to run docker in.

I meant to install a Jellyfin LXC, if there is such a thing, without docker involved. Is that possible?

There seem to be many ways to reach the same goal:

• run Jellyfin in Docker in a VM in Proxmox
• install Jellyfin Server in Debian in a VM in Proxmox
• install a Jellyfin LXC container on proxmox
• … Probably more

I try to find the best way for me.

I understand that I can use a VM to run docker, but:

Wouldn’t make a LXC more sense than a VM with docker inside? And what are the advantages of running jellyfin in a container instead of a normal installation? The VM is already kind of a container, what benefits do I get from yet another container inside? I am curious to learn more!

Proxmox could be the perfect learning environment for docker, just make a new VM if I borg something. I will look into it, thanks. Just not for this specific project, Jellyfin on Debian sounds good for me.

The other comment made sense to me, why contain a container. But you are right, I will learn more about docker, it seems like a great tool.

Thank you for your confirmation with NFS. Just read about it yesterday, in search of an alternative to samba, what all the windows user seem to use.
