This is a must have for me or I simply don't use the app. An important detail though: it should only mark posts as read if I've scrolled past them! Not any post that can be seen on the screen.

Fixed in under 12 hours! You rock

That was my favorite sub, and I'm really sad it didn't take off on lemmy. I noticed it was back up on Reddit a few weeks ago and I thought about messaging you to ask if you put it back or reddit gave it to someone else. Fuck reddit.

Huh, I guess I'll just embrace it then! Thanks for the input

This is helpful, thank you. I'll have to look into the different ways to accomplish this. It would feel weird to access a drive over my network when it's just from another container. Maybe it's not as weird as I think it is?

Funny, I also have a mini-PC and a 4TB USB drive. That's helpful though. Is it possible to mount the entire drive to two different containers? Or does it have to be separate "chunks" of it?

For example, I want a container for Plex and another container for Samba to share the drive on my network. Both would be installed on the internal SSD. Can I set it up so both containers have direct access to the entire external drive at the same time?

Thanks. That's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure if it was easier to have Plex and samba in the same container since I want both to directly access the hard drive.

That's really helpful thanks. I should be able to Google around and figure out how to install samba. Would you recommend installing samba directly on the host or spinning up a dedicated VM or LXC to install there?

I'm planning on running Plex in a LXC. Maybe install Samba on that container alongside Plex?

I just wanted to get suggestions on how to start out with something simple, specifically making that USB hard drive available on my network + the LXC for Plex.

I have a good idea how to do the other things I mentioned, but the network storage aspect is challenging. I think it's because there are probably many ways to accomplish this, so I don't know how to choose what's best as a beginner. Lots of new terminology and a poor understanding on how things work together.

I want to completely switch over to proxmox and ditch windows on the server. Sorry if that wasn't clear in the post.

I just want to replicate the functionality but proxmox (and Linux in general) is very new to me.

Yeah your solution would be the best if I didn't have fan wiring going to the wall. I wouldn't want to make the wall switch totally obsolete.

I looked at the Treatlife but apparently they changed the chipset and it's no longer flashable :/

I would be comfortable with that, but I definitely prefer devices that retain the wall controls like a normal wall switch. And will work even if the smart home goes down. I should have mentioned that in my post.
