That's one big hand...

NAS / NAS + server? Unraid, Proxmox, Intel, AMD? Looking for guidance. in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] Chaphasilor@feddit.nl 2 points 1 month ago

I've gone the TrueNAS SCALE route myself, with TN running on bare metal. All my containers/apps are set up through it, and I've also spun up Windows and Linux VMs without major issues, including GPU and USB passthrough.

I do enjoy the security it gives me, will all my apps being versioned/snapshotted regularly and before every update, as well as the rest of my data. Since TN is only using ZFS and not something like MergerFS (which I believe is used by Unraid), the upgrade path is a bit mote restricted. So you should definitely look into your options up-front. For example, you won't be able to expand a vdev (virtual ZFS disk) later on, you'll have to create a new one. And you can only use equivalent vdevs to form pools. That means if you start with 3 drives in a vdev for your main storage pool, you can only expand that pool by adding anothet 3 drives with the same capacity as a secons vdev. So make sure you can stomach these costs, or go for fewer and cheaper drives, with a large case.

As for apps, you can set up docker apps easily, and there are a large number of officially or community-maintained apps, where any breaking changes and migrations are handled for you, so updating is a breeze. But you don't have a much flexibility as with a custom setup. TN has been becoming more generic in that regard though, switching from k3s to regular docker, so you could probably play around with stuff via the CLI without major issues.

Oh and one more thing: you should probably use a separate, dedicated device for Home Assistant. Use a Raspberry Pi or one of their official boards, and you'll have better support, more features, redundancy, and can still create backups on your NAS via SMB.
Such a second device that is also connected via Tailscale doesn't hurt either, just in case.

Yeah that seems to be why the EPL supports a bunch of sensors, it's a tradeoff between different features for each sensor. Some do X/Y position tracking (default one). Some do fall detection. Some can measure heart rate. But seems like no sensor can do it all, at least not in that price range.

Thunderbird for Android / K-9 Mail: April 2024 Progress Report - The Thunderbird Blog in c/android@lemdro.id

[–] Chaphasilor@feddit.nl 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well it's not technically a bug, more of a feature request. I debated creating an issue for it, and also thought about implementing it myself. But they are busy enough, as am I...

One thing that's really bugging me out with K9 is that as soon as I open the app to the messages list, all notifications are cleared. I use notifications to keep track of what I still need to do, so this really sucks...

Lidarr++Deemix - A service to automatically add albums from Deemix in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] Chaphasilor@feddit.nl 0 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Okay, nice! But now the question is: Does this work with Lidarr on Steroids, so that it can use deemix for both metadata and downloading? ^^

Switching back to Android (GrapheneOS), anything cool I've been missing out on? in c/android@lemmy.world

[–] Chaphasilor@feddit.nl 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Nope, works on non-rooted phones too. There'a a new installation framework in recent Android versions that allows background installs by apps other than the Play Store!

I's suggest Droid-ify as the F-Droid client, it properly supports background installs.

Importing Google Photos Takeout to Immich in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] Chaphasilor@feddit.nl 3 points 6 months ago

Used immich-go for this too. Had no problems, and the dev is really open to feedback. All the metadata was there (except for labeled persons), and albums were also created correctly. It even inported archived photos into Immich's archive!

[SOLVES]Help with Nexcloud on truenas scale in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] Chaphasilor@feddit.nl 1 points 6 months ago

You don't need to use it as an exit node. But yes, running tailscale in a container can be problematic for accessing some apps. You should give this thread a read: https://github.com/truenas/charts/issues/2201

It offers some explanations on what might be going on. I have tailscale set up on a different device (raspberry pi), and it's working as a "subnet router", meaning I can access all of my local subnet when I'm connected.

Jellyfin Rewind 2023 is here! Review Your Music of 2023 (feddit.nl)

submitted 9 months ago by Chaphasilor@feddit.nl to c/jellyfin@lemmy.ml

Hey everyone!

I'm super excited to announce that Jellyfin Rewind 2023 is finally here! Another year has passed, and it's time to look back at all the music you've listened to!

In case you don't know, "Jellyfin Rewind" is an open-source version of Spotify Wrapped (& co.) made specifically for Jellyfin, that I initially created last year. This year, I've made some improvements and added a few new features, and tried to make it as enjoyable as possible.

You can find more info below, but if you just want to see your Rewind, use the links below:

Links

Local Network / Self-Hosting

If your Jellyfin server is only accessible on your local network, you will need to self-host Jellyfin Rewind so that it's also accessible on your local network. Otherwise your browser will block the connection.
To do this, check out the GitHub releases page and either download the zip-archive or use the provided Docker image here. The zip-archive will need to be extracted into a folder that is served by a web server, like Apache or Nginx. The Docker image will need a to have port 80 exposed instead.

HTTP (works for both http and https Jellyfin servers, as long as they are accessible over the internet):

Make sure your browser shows "insecure" / no lock at the top after opening the link, otherwise connecting to your HTTP-only Jellyfin server might not work!

http://jellyfin-rewind-http.chaphasilor.xyz

HTTPS (only use this if your Jellyfin server has an https connection and is accessible over the internet, this is the best experience):

https://jellyfin-rewind.chaphasilor.xyz

Download your Rewind report!

Please, please, please download your Rewind report at the end!

Jellyfin's statistics aren't very exhaustive, and any additional data could help offer you more insights during next year's Rewind! Especially if you don't have the Playback Reporting plugin installed, this year's Rewind report might come in very handy, so keep it save!

If something doesn't work and you can't download the data, I'll be happy to help you resolve the issue.

Something isn't working!

I'm sorry to hear that! I spent a lot of time trying to make everything as robust as possible, but everyone has a different server and different media, so it's no easy task.
There appear to be some issues on iOS with the browser tab crashing, probably because it's crunching too much data. If it happens to you, please try again on a desktop browser.

If you have any other issues, please comment below and include:

What isn't working?
Which device are you using to view Jellyfin Rewind?
How are you accessing your server? (local IP, public domain, https yes/no)
A screenshot could be super helpful.
If you are familiar with web development, some logs from your browser's dev tools probably have the highest chance of helping me debug the issue.

How does it work?

Glad you asked!
Essentially, Jellyfin Rewind loads most of the information about your music from your Jellyfin server, processes it on your device, aggregates some nice statistics, and then shows the result to you!

Your data never leaves your device; it's very similar to using the Jellyfin app on your phone.

Sadly the build in statistics of Jellyfin are pretty lackluster as of now, even with the Playback Reporting plugin, so that a lot of data has to be processed on your device. That's why it takes a few seconds to generate your Rewind report.

For next year, I might release a separate plugin that can use your Jellyfin server in order to crunch the data. This would also solve some of the connection problems that might happen this year. If you're interested in helping me with the plugin, please be sure to reach out!

Where's the source code?

You can find the source code on GitHub: https://github.com/Chaphasilor/jellyfin-rewind. There you can also find the files needed to self-host your own instance if you feel like it (under "Releases").
Self-hosting might actually enable you to use Jellyfin Rewind if nothing else works, because both Jellyfin Rewind and your Jellyfin server are running locally.

Can I help out somehow?

If you know something about web development, are a designer of some sorts, or have experience (or are curious about) developing Jellyfin plugins, I'd love to hear from you! There's so much I want to implement for next year's Jellyfin Rewind, and I need your help to bring all these ideas to life!

I had many more features planned for this year, but simply didn't have the time. I originally planned to launch back in November, and that obviously didn't work out :)

Thanks to everyone who uses Jellyfin Rewind, I sincerely hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
See you next year!!! - Chaphasilor
