To me personally self hosted means the only way the service / files can be taken from me, is to physically enter my house and take the HD

Anything shy of that I don’t fully consider self hosting.

Not because I’m gate keeping, it’s just that I don’t trust any corporation, and the minute they are involved, enschitification is inevitable

Do you mind sharing your agents md?

I used to use it and switched away because it’s not maintained and I had errors with recent docker cli

How many people use it makes no difference if there is no devs fixing security bugs.

I switched to DIUN, but it doesn’t do updates only notifications. That’s why I’m excited to look at OP’s library.

Stopped working for me with a recent docker cli update. That’s how I even found out it’s totally abandoned.

I’m not a big fan of running software that has access to the internet once it’s abandoned like this.

Watchtower hadn’t been updated in like 3 years or something. It’s a dead project.

I came here hoping to read some cool use cases, but so far it’s people doing notifications for services that already provide notifications…

I use restic too, just said zip since more people might understand it easier

I use backblaze it’s like $3 a month or something

It’s crazy good for something FREE. Like infinitely better than any major crop google apple etc because you KEEP your photos. Anything you upload to the cloud is being mined by them.

The only thing I tell people is that you need a cloud backup.

I have an automated nightly worker that zips all my photos encrypts them with a 32 character password and then uploads it to a bulk storage facility.

Yup, purchased myself 2 days ago. Absolutely deserve all of the support!

Could you elaborate on this?

When I first learned about docker I was sure it was a scam. It sounded too good to be true. It’s literally the meme it only works on my computer so we’ll ship your computer!

It’s awesome! And still feels like magic!

Second

How safe is it to self host something that you open up to the web? I’ve been thinking about a keepass self host, but I need it to be accessible from anywhere… I’m just really worried what that does once you open up your local server to the world

You’re 100% right.

Linux Mint is not hard to learn at all, it’s almost identical to windows.

The problem is the random ass shit you have to debug that the average user will not do and conclude Linux sucks.

IE if you have an Nvidia card, which shit loads of people do, you will struggle with bullshit just having two monitors…

If you have Logitech devices, which shit load of people do, you won’t have drivers and you’ll have to fuck around dealing with shit.

In addition to other quirky shit that happens on Linux some not really Linux fault and some just is.

That said one of the good things about chat gtp / ai is that they are actually really helpful at debugging Linux.

So yea… Linux isn’t just plug and play, the way windows is. Windows steals your data and has shit loads of bloat but just like cellphones the average person doesn’t give a shit nor does he understand how / why windows is awful.

Is this what you are talking about? How dues this work for funding audio books? That’s my biggest problem

I don’t even use remote sharing local access only.

What I cannot do without is, resume and watch history.

Skip intro.

Category management of the library.

Does jellyfin support these 3 items?

Do they have the same features?

Hm so this isn’t a media server? 480 wouldn’t seem like enough?

How much work was the software side to get this up and running? Are there libraries to make it easy or did you have to configure everything yourself?
