Linux desktop application question: I have all of my files on a DIY NAS/server, including a music library of ~16,000 tracks mostly in FLAC and MP3 formats. What is the best music library type player for managing and playing music that's on a Samba or NFS share? Out of everything I've tried, Clementine/Strawberry and Quod Libet work mostly okay, but they obviously assume the files are on a local drive, so they take ages to scan the network share and update their libraries every time they start. Hours for a full rescan that would be done in a minute on local files. Currently I'm using a Samba share, but I don't expect NFS would be significantly faster. Currently the client machine is on WLAN, but it's a solid 802.11ac connection with no interfering other networks. What's the best solution for network music playback? Find the right application? MPD? DLNA? Or just go old-school, use folders and a simple player like Audacious instead of a fancy music library type?

I would just install a music manager / streaming server directly on the NAS, if at all possible. Ampache or Airsonic or a bunch of others.

Yeah, I was looking at using Kodi as a DLNA server, since I'll be using it as an HTPC as well. If I can find a good DLNA client for Linux, that is. I really like Quod Libet and I wish I could just keep using it.

Shot in the dark here, but would anyone happen to know how to approach debugging this issue: I'm running elementary OS which is an Ubuntu variant. When I first log in after system start, or if I explicitly log out or lock screen and then log back in, everything is fine. However if the screen locks because of idleness, and then I log back in, "loginctl session-status" says that my session is stuck in "opening" state. This isn't a showstopper but e.g. it does mean that I have to enter my password to authorize checking for updates if using their package manager GUI. A few minor annoyances at most but it would be super nice just to find out what is causing this and fix it. Can anyone point me to a good resource about how to approach figuring out what is blocking the session from becoming "active" state?

Of note, NFS is significantly faster than SMB, and samba isn't a particularly fast implementation of SMB. NFS is much faster, especially for enumerating files

I use Lollypop over NFS with a ~400GB collection of mostly FLACs and it's nearly indistinguishable from local files

NFS also has actual file locking, you know, in case you care a bit about data not getting corrupt. And with NFSv4.2 (which is getting added into FreeBSD already, despite the RFC not even having been ratified), we'll be getting a whole bunch of features that'll make it even faster.

It also implicitly trusts anyone with access to a share, so if they have root on their local machine, they can do anything on that share  I know there are reasons for that, and Kerberos/ACLs will take care of that aspect. For now I'm just locking the NFS share to only my machine.

I like MusicBee and I think it should work for you. You can add/scan a folder manually once without having to keep it on the 'monitored folders' list, plus you can disable 'on startup check for updated or missing files'.

KozmoNaut posted:It also implicitly trusts anyone with access to a share, so if they have root on their local machine, they can do anything on that share The 4.4BSD/Lite2 implementation has the server-side maproot/mapall feature, documented in exports(5), which forces all mounts, even those done by remote root, to be mounted with a given UID on the serve - and it still exists in the BSDs nowadays. On FreeBSD, for client-side, vfs.usermounts let you mount stuff without being root (this is also handy for automountd/autofs).

D. Ebdrup posted:That's true for basically any protocol that isn't http, email, or irc, though - as an example, even protocols as simple as telnet or ssh are a pain with any lag, too. Especially if it's lag with a large delta. The pain i dealt with(in a solaris environment, I'll admit) just felt so much worse than most other lag, and using it in any gui environment is way worse than, say, x forwarding. It's always locked up whatever session while waiting for the mount to respond (like most hard mounts, but with network lag). It can also hit unexpectedly because an automount got auto-dismounted and then queried so remounted. The worst was when some jackass set autohomes to autodismount I'll give that it's subjective tho

Also, doesn't kerberized NFS4 fix the "trust the client" issue rather definitely, if you can use it? (Not that I ever want to set that up by hand again, but that's a different matter.)

D. Ebdrup posted:I don't know what NFS implementation you're using, but that's absolutely not true. For server-side, UID 28 (the 'nobody' user, that often gets mistakenly used for privilege separation) exists solely because of NFS. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding stuff and need to read up on it, I guess Saukkis posted:Why would they need to scan the library every time? I would expect there to be an option to disable that. Yeah, it can be disabled, but then obviously the local database could get out of sync with what's actually on the network share. Either way, I'm using NFS now and at least Strawberry can play perfectly fine while the library is updating in the background. Right now I'm going through importing my whole library using beets and it's asking a lot of questions. Woe is me for having obscure releases in my collection, I guess.

Sorry for the crossposting spam but I am not sure where this best fits so I am tossing it in a couple threads, can't really determine the right keywords to search otherwise I would just dig into google results. I have a docker host and want to migrate to NginxProxyManger to handle my LetsEncrypt SSL cert. I have a couple web services on my local network that I want to present to the public internet. Lets called these ServiceA, B and C, most of them are other docker instances but some are physical hosts, all with a specific port I need to reverse proxy to. I *somehow* want the following to work Hit mydomain.com:443 -> Proxy to an internal non-SSL apache instance on port 80 Hit mydomain.com:1234 -> Proxy to an internal docker service on port 8888 Hit mydomain.com:9999 -> Proxy to some other internal non-SSL service Now NPM has "proxy hosts", and "redirection hosts". I am not sure which I want to be using, moreso I am not sure how I properly configure NPM to take connections from the above 3 ports and send them elsewhere. I can get one service working fine, but can't figure out what I need to be doing to break out traffic based on inbound port, because out of the box NPM assumes your router/firewall is sending everything inbound to it via single port. Does that make sense to anyone? Like I said I have been struggling even trying to articulate my issue even though it seems simple on the surface.

Is there some kind of kerberized nfs4 that doesn't involve freeipa/some kind of AD implementation? samba being able to use avahi seems modular and... streamlined. It looks like freenas for example says use CIFS if you want any kind of security.

You want NPM to bind to 3 ports. I don't know NPM, but I do know Caddy, and I can tell you that it's purpose built for this kind of thing. It's basically a super simple LetsEncrypt-enabled proxy server. The whole config file would probably be only a few lines long.

minato posted:You want NPM to bind to 3 ports. Yeah this seems like the scenario where you want to use just raw nginx or whatever other web server. https://github.com/jc21/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/252 This is probably the solution to the problem while still using that app and it looks like a pain in the rear end and not really maintainable or within the spirit of a web app with gui elements to manage your nginx config. My other suggestion would be, most web apps let you set a HTTP root, so any url you click in the app can be prefixed with "http://butt.com/app1" for example, so you can host multiple things on the same domain without using extra ports or subdomains. Just kinda trying to read your mind here though, maybe that's not helpful.

the linuxserver.io letsencrypt container is dead simple to set up, has good docs, and comes with lots of easy to follow nginx proxy conf examples. https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-letsencrypt so uh i recommend you use that

Subdomains are the way to go, as long as you have a halfway decent domain registrar that will let you register a wildcard subdomain. Then you just publish each service on service.mydomain.com, let your proxy register a Let's Encrypt certificate for each one (or a wildcard certificate), and you never need to even think about whether your services are properly dealing with custom root paths.

Since when does the registrar need to allow subdomains? If you register company.com, do you no longer control *.company.com? Or do you mean find a dns provider(different thing than your registrar) who allows that level of control, because it's not an issue of allowed so much as capable

But it's not uncommon that company.com is your public/marketing landing page and it's on a totally different infrastructure than your internal services like jira.company.com, erp.company.com, etc. Of course, you can also just put those on company-services.com or whatever.

If you own the domain, you own it and can do anything you want with it. Any other limitations come from your dns provider not giving you full access to their system, since a subdomain is a full on A record in its own right. If you think those limitations are part of dns, your dns provider has been lying to you all your life

Dome DNS sections of registrars don't allow a wildcard subdomain. So yeah. It's nice for something like traefik where you can define a subdomain per docker container for routing things with minimal setup.
