I use Lidarr to watch for new releases and try to get some bootleg albums, while main way of getting things is trough some websites or just pulling stuff from qobuz directly.
All the music is FLAC with a small percentage in mp3 320. also, man sometimes wants to get that 300GB discography pack with 6 different releases of the same album 😁
Do you have sample of what kind of errors you’re getting? are they docker related or service related? as in jackett can’t connect/reach sonarr for example?
I’m using navidrome and symfonium and tempo, symfonium is worth to pay for, it does offer support for other protocols to plu into. What you could do with navidrome, is to create a m3u playlist of your random stuff, either manually or a script that would keep the playlist updated.
Mostly these systems are based on organizing by tags/artists, if you really want the “old school” folder approach then you, I suppose, keep looking.
Or see how to get ehat you want with music library systems
I got a used mini pc to run as a media center, running the arr stack and torrent client that’s bound to the VPN interface. For usenet stuff I don’t care is it on VPN or not. Its running headless.
If you make sure that the torrent client is set to be bound on the VPN interface, you are fine, if VPN is not up, it should not start, since the interface is not up. For VPN I use wireguard and set the VPN to be brought up by via wg-quick command and use systemd to start it during boot.
You’ll be fine using it for personal stuff along with pulling stuff from high seas.
I’m running it trough docker with VNC, and it works fine for my use case.
Navidrome over wireguard, and music library in folders and proper tagging trough beets and picard. using subsonic as a client for it. tried plex and plexamp but I’m moving away from them.
First of all, this might now answer your question fully, but…
spotify-dl uses youtube music to download stuff, and if you have youtube premium you can get higher quality downloaded, I think it does opus 128 or 156 kbit, and the sound is quite good.
tidal, deezer, or qobuz have cd or hi-res quality songs, and there are utils that help you get stuff from their service. qobuz-dl’s the one I have been experimenting with. Obviously you need subscription for it, but spotify is generally shit.
Apart from that I used few other sources to get my music.
I was hit aggressively by HC sales team last year, we are using TF and Vault, and were looking to add consul, now it is pretty vauge how it will all pan put
I’m using usenet.farm, works well
Bash for quick scripts, Ruby for some smaller scripts, Golang has been a favourite as of late due to integration into the ecosystem with k8s,p8s, envoy…
Ask questions, don’t assume. Keep notes of meetings, and notes of your work, little bits. Always have a good rollback plan.
Check netmaker for wireguard vpn if you want a ui, but its straightforward to set it up manually.
I’ve worked on both, and as long as I can plug the laptop in a nice monitor, with keyboard and mouse I don’t care that much. Laptops great for mobility, and the keyboard and trackpad, well you get used to it, and doesn’t bother you that much. For myself, its wfh and then going to the office, isn’t a big deal, all stuff is on the laptop and things are synced if I need to do disaster recovery. It depends on the situation, would you benefit from it. if not, desktop’s fine
I’d say, what kind of security are you talking about? Apart from standard HTTPS to keep things encrypted, there are other layers if you want to keep your service exposed to the internet.
Also how things are installed and if they are correct, proper file permissions. nothing different than having it on the server somewhere. You just need to keep thing up to date and you’ll be fine.
I like it here on Lemmy as there are quality talks from people and not too much circlejerking same concepts around. I actually like going trough here.
Yes, very active, there is the #introduction tag there where you can find people (and people find you).
About 6 year uptime on one machine before we shut it down and relocated.
Best option is to directly NAT traffic from VPS to your home server, either directly to your IP or set up a wireguard peer and send traffic via wireguard to your local and do the SSL/TLS termination on your local.
You are best exposing just 443 port on the VPS and moving that traffic over wireguard. Server will have your local public key on the server, and you could implement a wireguard key rotation to change them frequently.
Traffic sent back will be encrypted with the certificate, and even if they get the wireguard server key, you can rotate it, but still they will see encrypted packets.
It depends what kind of things you’re doing on your local. If it is just a website thing, then reverse proxy is fine. Anything other than that, NAT would be cleanest one.
LUKS on the disks would encrypt it the data on the block storage level, and, in theory, they should not have a way of reding block storage files directly. But since it is a VPS they can, technically, gather data from host memory.
Next step might be going down a dedi server route, Luks encryption on disks. Only thing thats needed there would be sufficient network pipe.
I tried it, its great if you want to get started. or you want to run a vpn on a server that doesnt support wireguard. My main gripe with the client is that it can’t do high speeds, it’s just too cpu bound. Like going close to a gigabit transfer.
With wireguard I was able to get to 98% gigabit transfer. It was fine for a month I was using it, in the end I just setup a wireguard mesh with Netmaker.
There is headscale where you can run your own hosted central server, so you’re not using the tailscale one.
In the end netmaker did what I wanted, however they tend to introduce bit of changes in their releases, so if you’re not super technical it might pose a challenege with upgrading until they reach a super stable version. Like jump from 0.10.X to 0.20 had some big changes for the whole netmaker internals. Bit that does not impact wireguard connectivity.
did it before my smoke break
