Jellyfin has a "family photos and videos" media type. I finally got around to trying it: it works about as well as PiGallery2, so I guess I'll remove the latter.

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback and will treat it like magic.

It's less "magic" and more that the people ripping and encoding content first rarely do any optimization, so you end up with files that are far larger than they need to be.

I checked about a dozen files and they were all good. One was larger than the original and it was skipping around. So think I'll just have to deal with issues as I encounter them. No way I'm going to spot check every single goddamned file.

Looking forward to saving a ton of space!

You can set conditions for whether Tdarr will accept the reencode or not based on size too. So if the resulting file is way too big or small it won't replace the original and will just flag it as an encode error, drop it on your error list, and move on to the next file.

Same for Unmanic. If the file ends up larger for some reason there's no reason to keep it.

I am getting close to the end of my DevOps at Home setup. I have implemented SSO and have permissions propagating via SAML on two of the services. I need to do the same via OAuth on the third service.

I also need to figure out a good way to script something such that when I create a new project in the SSO service and assign groups to it, the appropriate projects and groups are propagated to all the consuming services so I don’t have to manually go into the three services and make the changes manually.

Speaking of, for a self hosted git whatever is there a sane way to get ssh auth to work instead of https? I piddled around with gittea a bit back but as best I could tell reverse proxies didn’t play around with that sort of traffic as it’s not http based in nature.


Similar question for DBs in general. I don’t mind just using the IP address but a DNS name would be nice.

Oh hey, are you still trying to get that to work? My reverse proxy is able to handle forgejo perfectly fine. It didn’t require anything special in Nginx Proxy Manager other than setting a flag to increase the allowed file size: client_max_body_size 512M;

I have CloudFlare changing every http request to https, too.

Haha. It wasn’t that bad to setup, thankfully. The documentation had instructions for creating the cert that weren’t too hard to follow and I only had to do it once. TeamCity had a plugin that handled creating the service and linking it to the SAML provider automatically. YouTrack was more manual and definitely took me a while to figure out but it would be pretty easy if I had to do it a second time.

Increasing max body size isn't going to help you with proxying SSH traffic via nginx. You could use nginx's stream module for proxying SSH as it supports any TCP/UDP traffic.

The main challenge with opening for SSH traffic to Gitea/Forgejo is if you want it served on host port 22, and also want the host's SSH server listening on port 22.

This was for http, not ssh. Sorry that wasn’t clear. Appreciate the advice, though!

In general, I recommend looking at SimpleX for a private chat app for friends and family. You can self-host it if you want but you really don't need to.

Extension/revival of this question about chat, but for a parent/child use. I have an Android phone and my young Daughter has an iPad. She can message seemingly everyone but me on iMessage.

I'd like a chat solution for the two of us to use.

Main criteria are secure, straightforward and I can set some parental controls (or something to that effect) to stop weirdos trying to talk to her.

Matrix looks good but I'd have to disable federation and hope she doesn't figure out how to join another server. SimpleX or Briar came to mind but kind of excessive and designed to circumvent the very restrictions I want to impose.

We've got Tailscale set up if it helps

I'm a freak on a leash.
The two things I've used to talk to my kids that other people can't send spam to them on or they can't message other people are my Google workspaces account Google chat (an old grandfathered personal plan) with restrictions set so no accounts can send messages outside the organization.

The other one is Mattermost. Mattermost might be overkill for a family chat but I really like it. Mainly because I keep coming up with bots to waste my time on. But seriously, not possible for anyone you don't invite to send messages to anyone on there and with tailscale you can run it at home and not open it up to the public (this is what I do too)

Tdarr has been running a little less than 48 hours on my 1080p Movies library and it's chugging along at a decent pace. Going to take months to a year to get through my entire library. Maybe will look at loading up a node on my Windows PC with a 3060 to help.

Running a Plex server off a Lenovo Thinksmark machine that I want to add more storage to. Been looking at DAS enclosures with usb 3.2 connectivity but just today I saw a deal on reddit for some Seagate plain external drives that are usb 3.0. These ones specifically:

https://www.seagate.com/products/external-hard-drives/expansion-desktop-hard-drive/

Am I majorly handicapping myself on speed if I go with a usb 3.0 single drive vs a usb 3.2 DAS system? I’m mainly just doing this for budget storage as I don’t have several hundred dollars available for a DAS enclosure and multiple drives. A 14TB single external drive would be perfect for what I need if the difference between 3.0 vs 3.2 isn’t going to affect me streaming locally in my house.

not really, USB3.0 caps at 500MB/s and a hard drive is going to top out under 300MB/s in sequential reads

Where are you getting these numbers? The 12700k has a 125w TDP, but transcoding with the fixed function video encoder should only use a fraction of that. Even if it were running at full tilt for an entire year at 15¢ per kWh, that's only like $160 ? If running my home server was costing 1400 a year, it'd be cheaper to rent a VPS...

My rear end clearly, think I misplaced a zero somewhere. Also wasn't thinking about the efficiency of quicksync and was just assuming it was full bore, which is about 250w.

Really my take was in a roundabout way: storage is cheap, buy more, gotta get those numbers up :unsmigghh:

Yeah, I get a kick out of trying to squeeze as much as possible out of a minimum number of watts. That's my hobby.

Speaking of which, I just completed the switch over from the RPi4 to the ZimaBoard. The power use has gone up by maybe 200% to 400%, but now I'm running flatcar, so I don't have to think about the host OS ever again (until flatcar goes away).

I'm quite proud of my twine-based server mounting solution. Looks real nice against the back leg of the end table next to the sofa.

Now that Microsoft is telling people their computers will be bricks in a few months, I bet everybody in this thread could score at least 3 totally workable Linux machines just by telling their pals they're taking old Windows 10 computers.

Most people would probably be overjoyed to know their hardware isn't going into landfill.

While still on the topic of Tdarr, how should I think about the number of transcodes to put through my i7-12700K? I've been trucking along with 3 just fine but wondering if I can do even more as I've read that this iGPU can do many 4K trancodes on the fly in plex and dozens of non 4K. Do these anecdotes translate to this operation?

In Unraid, the iGPU widget shows 100% 3D render, even with just 1 transcode and Video Load currently at around 17% with 4 transcodes. Assuming the 3D render is a red herring (let me know if it's not and I'm capped), is the Video Load and my CPU usage (for audio) the things I should be tracking as I ratchet upwards?

FPS hovering around 150-200, wondering if I keep adding transcodes if this number stays flat and the number of transcodes just share it and take an equal amount of time with each being slower

  • 8 (My Chromebook) (ARM)

  • 2 (Thinkpad x220 I could probably bear to part with, but will probably part out)
  • 4 (Jr's old gaming tower)

I'm not going to count things with CPUs that aren't traditional computers; because then I'd have to count every bluetooth and USB device, every electronic musical instrument, and all the televisions and monitors; and make a guess about how many cores each one has. I'm also not going to count all my Arduinos around the house, and I'm especially not going to count the 20 ESP32 boards that are going into production around the state. And I'm not counting the CPUs in things like graphics subsystems or USB hosts because F that.
