Got a 486 DX4 to sell you 🤣

+1 to this. I grabbed the haOS VM proxmox script a year ago and it’s been smooth sailing ever since.

Cool! Thanks for the tip!

TIL you can actually use about:reader?url=https://some-random-url to get it basically anywhere!

Reader mode ftw

Edit: it also supports dark mode

Knowing myself, I shiver at the idea of my nix config… It’ll probably have more ductape than a 3M distribution center

Yes, you kinda can disable suspend, but it will still cut off spdif transmission even then. Normally that wouldn’t be an issue but my receiver is super old and takes its sweet time to start actually playing audio after it gets a signal

Got fed up of Pipewire suspending (old receiver takes ~2 sec to work again after spdif stream is cut) that now I auto-run aplay to play a silent .wav on loop

Theres are some pretty massive archives already, including Flashpoint

Try duckdns, it doesnt nag you every month and it just works

I dragged my feet for over 2 years after building my homelab and not putting proxmox. I highly recommend you start out with proxmox right away. It has its quirks and learning curve, but it’s been a breeze after “getting it”.

At first I didn’t want the files inside LXC filesystems because I was used to manually poking at folders and such. But the periodic backup and restoration that gives you its the best, bar none.

I rebuilt my setup after a faulty data cable destroyed my btrfs raid0 filesystem (I know, I knew it was dumb, but I had 8tb at my disposal and I wanted to use it dangit!). Long story short, my borg-based Nextcloud AIO backups were borked and took like 3 days of research and external drive juggling to get some of the stuff out of them. With proxmox it’s a single click to get the whole thing back up and running.

Also you can use helper scripts as a sort of appstore, including turnkey appliances

You could try a download manager like DownThemAll on Firefox, set a queue with all the links and a depth of 1 download at a time.

DtA has been a godsend when I had shitty ADSL. It splits download in multiple parts and manages to survive micro interruptions in the service

Fair enough, though FUTO already has an anti-rugpull licence AFAIK

I don’t really get what’s the fuss about… We’ve all ran unlicensed trial software (like WinRAR) for years and nobody bat an eye.

That’s what whiskey is for

Tell me about it. I’ve got movies with the Spanish title, and the LatAm cover art with yet another title. Ended up switching Jellyfin to English just to be able to find my movies

Holy crap thats genius, i’ll do just that!

Nice, I might give that a go. So instead of doing Artist/Album/songfile.ext you just have all albums in the same level? e.g. Band - Album1/song1.mp3 Band - Album2/song1.flac

If that’s so, I might be able to batch sort them to that structure and give Jellyfin another try

the problem with FW’s docs is that they are too opinionated, they expect a strict user and directory structure that should not be required for docker deployments. I modified the example docker-compose to use volumes instead of binding to host locations (except for the music:ro folder) and it didn’t like it at all. I get that they prefer using ansible playbooks over docker, but even when starting from a fresh debian 12 install it’d fail, even though I followed that guide to the tee.

As someone else said on the thread, it’s weird but there’s no much choice for multi-library music-centric servers. Guess I’ll have to wrangle Jellyfin into submission to tag my music properly.

tried jellyfin even before Navidrome: the problem with Jellyfin is that as good as it is tagging and managing movies and tv shows, it’s atrocious at music management. Even though I painstakingly tagged and sorted my music using MusicBrainz Picard, there are tons of albums misplaced, or entire artists catalogs set as a single album. Same music collection on Navidrome worked OOTB and was perfectly sorted.
