Motronic posted:The point of my post is that cruft routinely posts these things in a vacuum without the hint of "I did this because I'm doing my super low power thing" and then someone tries to help them or engage in some way with the logical assumption that they're talking about reasonable hardware and surely there is a misunderstanding or some reason why one would do things that way. It's happened multiple times in the plex thread as well. Zero context posting about something that only someone trying to run it on a pi would have. I'm trying to view this charitably, and not jump into thinking you're accusing me of maliciously... I don't know what. I can't make sense of it in the context of how it feels. So instead, I'm going to assume that leading with "Maybe someone on here would like this thing I threw together to visualize CPU load without having to run a bunch of new services" just wasn't a strong enough disclaimer, or that it got buried by the image right under it, but mostly that the entire post was just out of place, and no disclaimer would have been enough. I think what you're trying to communicate is that this isn't helpful in a thread where people are asking elementary questions about things like "what is a container" or "how do I get this service talking to this other service". And I think it's a good point. So I'd like to introduce the Research / Hard Mode thread, where we can talk about things like running a working SMTP server on a homelab, or restoring a PDP-7, or, in my case, running a bunch of modern services on a 12-watt SBC. I want to hear about weird poo poo and your struggles with it. You're building your own ALU out of relays? Please come tell us about it!

Following up on earlier conversations regarding Plex transcoding. Can I please get a recommendation on a solid CPU to build a machine around? Budget is not infinite, but I'm not afraid to spend some cash. All in $700-1000 for a replacement for my current Unraid box (no hard drives needed) unless my needs are indicating I need to increase the budget. I'm just quite confused at the landscape (quicksync?) trying to understand what I should be looking at to get 2-3 4K transcodes going along with all of the other items that I'll be having on my system, which are likely very low powered and may just mean more RAM. The options as I see them right now would be: - Keep the older processor UnRaid server as it is right now, but build a new machine with a smaller form factor mini-PC that meets the above requirements for Plex duty alone. Maybe one of those that you can'[t even install a PCI card into. I imagine reading 4K content off of my on-site NAS shouldn't be a bottleneck/concern at all versus being hosted on the same machine as the NAS - Rebuild it all into a new machine and retire the old one. Which I would get a replacement case and standard form factor so PCI cards (for the raid card for my JBOD) wouldn't be an issue. Any input is super appreciated. I can sort out all of the appropriate RAM and other items once I identify the target CPU that I should be getting. Thanks! TraderStav fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Jan 15, 2024 |

It will require the 6.2 Linux kernel, but the Intel ARC gpu's are fantastic little encoders. Would mean you would not need such as expensive of a CPU. I believe Asrock even make a single slot A310 or A380.

I was in the process of figuring out what the best little mini-PC is to buy to pick up solely my Plex duties (4K transcoding) and realized that I have this little guy sitting around. Reading through some reviews on the processor (Celeron N5105) it sounds like this little guy that do 1-2 4K transcodes without breaking a sweat. Should I just set this bad boy up and skip purchasing a new one if I probably don't need more than 1-2 4K transcodes at a given time? I'd probably flash Ubuntu on it, or something else that is easily able to host a Plex docker as turnkey as possible. I love how I manage it on Unraid, but obviously it doesn't make sense to run Unraid on this thing. Intel NUC 11, NUC11ATKC4 Atlas Canyon Win11 Pro Mini PC Desktop, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, Intel Celeron N5105 Processor, Support HDMI Dual 4K UHD/Bluetooth V5.2/Windows 11 Pro preinstalled https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B8H2DPLY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 If that's no good, can I get an opinion on this thing? I believe the cats meow for going into the future is the i5-12xxx, does this fit the bill? Anything else that I'm missing in terms of RAM/etc, I believe the CPU is really the key thing as I'm reading all files off of a NAS https://www.amazon.com/Beelink-i5-1...T1zcF9hdGY&th=1

Right on, I'll give it a go. Will start by researching/figuring out the best approach to getting an OS and as dumb simple of a container management system on it as possible. I absolutely adore Unraid's docker management/store for this. Hoping to find a solution that's comparable to it for doing so. Once I have that running, should be trivial to get it running and transferring over data to see how it performs. I'd just slap Unraid on this box and pay the easy $60 fee to go with what I know, but I believe the limitation is the Linux version for Unraid doesn't support everything needed for transcoding.

Perhaps I'm being obtuse, or was being obtuse. But if I spun up this Ubuntu box to be a dedicated Plex server, any reason for me to use Docker instead of just installing the app that the default Ubuntu install recommends? Just realized that I may be vastly overcomplicating my life here with all this portainer/etc. business. What am I missing that Docker brings in this scenario, provided I'm backing up my Plex settings/data to my NAS?

The ubuntu repos are absolutely fine for up to date plex and require no extra and weird 3rd party repos. Kibner posted:Not worrying about dependencies breaking from updates. Plex requires no weird 3rd party repos to "upgrade" things that don't already exist in the very latest LTS version of Ubuntu so it's exceptionally unlikely for this to happen. I've run plex on 20.04 for many years until updating to 22.04 a couple years ago and have never had any issues like that. Running on old CentOS builds and trying to run the *arrs with sketch 3rd party repos to put a version of mono the wasn't made for that release of the OS? Yes, this is a recipe for pain. One I've learned the hard way multiple times, to the point of snapshotting VMs before any upgrades just in case it blows up. But that's a very different thing than what's being asked. And in fact, the latest LTS of Ubntu satisfies all of the arr dependencies as well, so that's no longer an issue either. Want to play with snaps? There's where you're gonna have pain.

Ubuntu also has a Plex snap. You don't have to worry about snap permissions screwing things up, since Plex isn't going to be moving files around or writing to directories outside of itself.

Cheers guys. Appreciate that insight. I have a second one of those NUCs lying around and perhaps I'll start offloading some of my other dockers to that one and learn how to do it myself rather than letting a manager do it. Just so I can learn from the ground up. I "get" what docker does and how it works but outside of a tutorial couldn't get to a workable solution. Plex native install on one. gently caress around on the other to learn. All the while unraid plugging away as NAS while I whittle away the services. Sounds perfect. Cheers! Exciting times (sorry, I love loving around with new to me tech concepts so am a bit giddy)

One potential benefit to plex in docker is portability. If you decide you want to run it elsewhere you can just move the container stuff over and add your volumes. Though to be fair if you have plex pass (and maybe if you don't?) if you log in it will have most/all of your config already

Is this the best place to ask this? I have a server on windows 10 and the devices at my place are on local ip address of 192.168.*.* . I have installed tailscale on all computers and phones so they can easily access stuff like plex and anydesk without much issue even outside of the network. There are a few things like the printer and the PS5 which obviously do not have their OSs, and the printer is the biggest headache for me because one of the computers (on LAN) can't seem to connect to it (on wifi). I followed the instructions on https://tailscale.com/kb/1019/subnets using the code as presented code:With this done, does this mean that those devices (printer and PS5) would automatically connect to the subnet route of the server and I don't have to do more?

With the tachiyomi apocalypse that's going on right now (though it's kind of getting sorted out) I decided to give komga a shot. I got it up and running with Komf (for working out the metadata for the manga) and a docker image for fmd2 to download the manga. It works pretty well, though fmd2 is the real weakpoint in this setup as it's held together with a ball of twine and a vnc server and some sketchy rear end rsyncs to work around lovely wine interactions with docker mounts. On the plus side though komga does have bidirectional syncing with its plugin for the tachikoma forks, something I've long wanted to keep my multiple devices in sync without having to restore backups every time I swich devices so that's a plus.

The short story is that Tachyoma got a takedown notice from a Korean manwha publisher despite essentially just being a browser and not hosting any of that content. They took the requested extensions down (which included Mangadex, so it really crippled the app's use case), then they took down their entire extension repo except for the handful of self-hosted extensions like komga. The extension repo (predictably) got forked and the commits removing the extensions reverted by other people who then continued to support the extensions, but then Tachi and all its forks needed to be updated to allow for 3rd party repos. Then Tachiyoma decided to close shop entirely, I assume because they were continuing to get hassled by the Korean manwha publisher despite all their requests being honored, which resulted in a couple of new forks springing up to continue it under new names and new leadership. Meanwhile, the manwha publisher has been crowing about "defeating piracy" on Twitter over the past week. They didn't actually go after any of the websites which host their manwhas, and those are, of course, still up. Needless to say, it's been eventful week in the manga reading space.

Maybe it will coax the comic bassed *arr apps to not be utter rear end in a few months. I've been vaguely meaning to mess with Kogma but it hasn't been near the top of my list. On that note, how did those extensions handle progress syncing anyway? CBRs are just fancy zip files iirc so I could sort of guess at the methods. Same question for ebooks if anyone here happens to know.

sinky posted:You could run tachiyomi in an android emulator, set it to download new chapters and copy the .cbz it creates off it using adb There's a tachiyomi server docker image. You can set it to auto-download from sources and zip them into .cbz's automatically, no need for android emulation. And while this solution is way nicer UI wise, is less resource intensive, and isn't held together with the spit and twine that FMD2 is, it also doesn't normalize the names of the files it grabs. Especially with Mangadex, where their naming conventions start with $USER_UPLOADER in the image and resulting cbz's, this makes an absolute mess of any attempts to sort the downloads. It just uses whatever naming convention from the source site in general. FMD2, despite the huge mess it kind of is, does a much better job at normalizing the names of its downloads.

Pretty much everything I want to read is posted on Mangadex or Dynasty so I just download them with shell scripts and then serve them using Codex, which has worked out pretty well for me. But my scanlation reading needs are also pretty modest, I wait for a thing to be finished and then download and read the whole thing in one shot rather than fetching chapters as they are released.Corb3t posted:Why do people self host e-mail? For privacy purposes? Becuase it's nearly free? I have to imagine most self hosters own a domain or two with really cheap shared hosting plan. I don't pay much on Namecheap. I self-hosted for a long time simply because that's how we'd always done it, the family domain was first set up in the 80s and if we weren't self-hosting we wouldn't have had mail at all. I eventually had to retire it because, well, self-hosting email in this era is a grim death march: - constant fight to mitigate the incoming deluge of spam - your IP is probably already on a dozen RBLs and good luck getting it removed - convincing Google or any other big email provider to actually deliver messages from you is an uphill struggle - if your MTA goes offline for more than like ten minutes, automated systems that want to send you mail will either drop the mail entirely or panic and delete your account rather than just retrying later At the moment I'm hosting it on Dasher/GAFYD/Google Workspace/whatever the hell they're calling it now, which is a state of affairs that I am pretty unhappy about because Google, but not quite unhappy enough to migrate the entire goddamn domain again.

Me again with hopefully a better question. Unless this is the wrong thread. Anyone self host a camera system nvr type thing? I have a bunch of Wyze cams but I don't like em cause of the whole sending all the video to their servers. I wanna install either their rtsp firmware or another custom firmware on em and then connect them to a something local and block their internet traffic Seems doable, but not sure which firmware and which nvr app. Ideally I would have a functional web app and mobile app/site to view cams. There's also possibly other apps to add for object detection and the like that may or may not murder my cpu.
