I'm addicted to self hosting services - I have my own Discord server setup with notifications for Sonarr/Radarr/Plex, my own Plex requests website with auto download for my close friends, and I try and make my services as accessible from my mobile device. I typically download most of my services using Docker in Unraid. It might be worth putting Adguard Home on your list - I recently switched from PiHole to Adguard, and found the overall process a little less cumbersome - mainly the fact that you don't have manually add Block Lists. I've had a lot less issues with random URL forwarders not working as well. I also really enjoy... Overseerr - Mobile-friendly Plex requesting service. 90% of the time I don't even touch Radarr or Sonnar anymore because its so fast at adding requests. Requestrr - A Discord bot that lets users type "/request ______" to make requests for Plex media. Heimdall - An easy to setup dashboard for all of your self hosted web applications. Uptime Kuma - An uptime monitoring dashboard for all of your self hosted web applications. nginx Proxy Manager - Easy reverse proxy tunneling with your own custom domain Corb3t fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Nov 15, 2021 |

Scruff McGruff posted:I'll add my newbie endorsement of nginxProxyManager. I tried getting Traefik/LetsEncrypt set up as a reverse proxy when I was first getting into my home server stuff and was constantly banging my head against the wall trying to get the config files set up right and really just struggling with the concept of a reverse proxy in general. Ended up just port forwarding a lot of stuff since I knew how to do that already. Then I tried NPM and it made way more sense and allowed me as a beginner to actually get my networking set up the "right" way. That was a couple years ago so Traefik and LetsEncrypt might be much improved now but I can definitely speak to NPMs user friendly-ness. I ran into some issues years ago getting Lets Encrypt + DuckDNS setup for proper reverse proxy https forwarding and never bothered trying again, but I thought nginx proxy was pretty simple once I forwarded my domain's DNS to cloudflare and set all my DNS up in there, as well as SSL/TLS certs. It's free. I mostly followed this guide, but there are a few different guides on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6Y6M8CdcQ0

Matt Zerella posted:I think I saw someone expose radarr and sonarr completely unprotected wondering why their server went apeshit with all these mysterious movie adds. Made me laugh in horror. I don't even think Sonarr and Radarr need to be publicly accessible if you already have Overseerr available. I just wish Sonarr and Radarr would just enable the option to prevent a user from logging in after X number of attempts.

I'd never keep important photos and files exclusively on my server - all it takes is a house fire and everything is toast. I appreciate the self hosted ethos, but you're just asking for trouble if you're not doing some sort of cloud-based redudant backup of some sort - I have rclone doing monthly encrypted backups of my Unraid config, appdata backups, docker backups, and photos and files to a Google Business Standard account.

I'm obsessed with Obsidian, but it's definitely something you have to develop your own system for. I never bothered learning Markdown before and now I get frustrated whenever I try to edit text on a website or app and it doesn't support it. I've been slowly compiling all the important notes and resources related to various nerd-related topics - work productivity, server management (Unraid), marijuana cultivation, homebrewing, and a personal blog where I keep lots of random pieces of information. I can't believe a PMS app is what's going to take to finally put some of my HTML/CSS education into practice.

BedBuglet posted:I was wondering if I could set up a local DNS server as my primary DNS server on my router to do split-brain DNS. I could run the local DNS server on my NAS and have it resolve an external load balancer or reverse proxy that my cluster ingress can point to. Not entirely sure what options to use for the local DNS server. I know the synology has some type of DNS server functionalitu or I can run something like pihole in a container. I followed this guide to setup AdGuard + Unbound and my queries average 2-3 ms.

Radarr/Sonarr is great for "tracking" upcoming show and movie releases that you're looking forward to, but yeah, their main purpose is automatically grabbing TV shows/movies from usenet. You can even have it automatically upgrade your files as newer versions get added by the scene. Hell, we have access to most streaming services through account sharing, and I still tend to add most movies/tv shows to Radarr/Sonarr for Trakt watch list syncing. Having a unified system for *arr services would be great as more versions are developed - ones for audiobooks, books, comics, etc. I like using Prowlarr for most of my syncing, currently.

FAT32 SHAMER posted:Are there any strong opinions on best ways to back up and sync iCloud Photos to a synology and reduce our storage subscriptions for iCloud? There’s also something like PhotoPrism, which you’d use their mobile app to sync your photos with. Syncing iCloud to other services like rclone is notoriously difficult, so I don’t think you’ll find many solutions that offer a hands off solution to that - you’ll need to rely on Synology or PhotoPrism’s mobile app to sync things. Hopefully they've adopted modern iOS APIs that allow for better background uploading. I should stress that backing up important photos you can’t restore just to a NAS isn’t the best backup practice - I’d hate for a fire in your house destroying your backups. Cloud backups are certainly still recommended. Corb3t fucked around with this message at 07:39 on Feb 18, 2023 |

I know I recommended Photoprism for photo backups a few days ago, but I just came across this great Google photos ripoff called Immich. It supports: Google Photos-like WebUI Live photos Background Uploads (that are actually good and don't pause randomly like most other services) Machine learning for recognizing subjects iOS app (and Android, of course) I can't stress how important it is to keep something like photos backed up in an offsite location using Amazon Photos, Google Photos, or iCloud, but this is a great way for NAS-based photo backups with minimal hand-holding once it's setup.

fletcher posted:I was interested in trying this out after seeing it discussed recently on reddit but not being able to import an existing directory structure of photos was holding me back. Looks like they are working on it though: I've often loathed file/folder organization for file management, so this really isn't an issue for me (I'm too spoiled by tagging and smart filtering to ever go back to managing any files via folders), but nice to see that they're trying to add it.

We were given a free monthly Adobe subscription as part of our program (IT/UI/UX), I graduated during Covid a couple years ago and my uni login still works with it for some reason. Definitely not using it as my primary backup, but I do enjoy the Lightroom integration. They’ll probably flip a switch and I’ll lose access one day. Or never.

I got mercury parser working in docker on my unraid server with FreshRSS. Not sure if it's better than TT-RSS + Plugins, but it seems like a nice enough addition. I also went ahead and added a bunch of other extensions (I hadn't messed with them before).

I use Immich because I'm lazy and couldn't care less if I have to export my photos from it in order to another app in the future. I'd also like to continue to beat the dead horse that is: Your NAS should never be the only place you store your most cherished memories - you're one house fire away from losing everything. Make sure you have a Cloud-based back-up like iCloud or Google Photos as well.

Pretty hands off, my requests download in minutes and Plex refreshes instantly. Throw in Tautulli if you want to monitor Plex streaming among friends.

I've have had to put some limits in place for specific users so they won't request too many seasons of a tv show or whatever, and a friend of mine requests a lot of kids media so I spun off a "Kids Movie" library and he is smart enough to select the library when he's making his requests. I also have a library for Live Performances, Live Comedy, Master Class, Anime, and Wrasslin'. Infuse is great, make sure you get the Test Flight beta so you can use direct library mode for your Plex library and not require a bunch of player-side caching that would often bog Infuse down. Before direct library mode, I would use Plex's native app 90% of the time, and I can't say I've had many issues with anything I've thrown at it, but Infuse is a little better at handling some spatial audio properly - I think it's worth the $10 a year. I haven't messed with NZBHydra so I can't really comment on how it compares, but I like that Prowlarr updates all my other *arrs indexers and torrents (Anime) and provides advanced statistics for those indexers like successful grabs, response time, etc. Corb3t fucked around with this message at 18:54 on Jan 13, 2024 |

That's so interesting - I've literally never had any issues with the AppleTV Plex app with my Sonos Arc connected to my Sony TV via eARC with Match Frame Rate turned on. I don't do any tonemap transcoding, though - my TVs all support HDR and my Tautulli stats show I only really transcode when I'm traveling on other devices - ~100 times out of 11,000 total streams.
