Currently dealing with extraordinarily slow network interface speeds on my NAS. Did a quick IO test with dd, and the results were great. I’d troubleshot this before to no avail, let the device power cycle and network speeds were fine afterwards. No dice this time, so I’m just replacing most of the hardware aside from the drive pool since I’d planned to anyways. Will troubleshoot my router’s network card as well for sanity’s sake.

I use a combination of Navidrome, Lidarr + slskd & deemix, and Mixarr, with beets to organize and add metadata to my library. Theres multiple plugins that exist for slskd integration, and deemix still works, you just need to extract your ARL.

Mixarr is decent and has options for recommendations. Though as of right now Spotify and Deezer integration won’t work cause they shut down making apps to access their API.

I use a hacky script and custom containers with SSH enabled to allow Lidarr to trigger beets to import music after Lidarr has downloaded and imported into its own library. But Lidarr does a good enough job of being organized and beets isn’t necessary to get a library going!

I use Obsidian with the obsidian-live sync docker container to sync data between devices instantaneously. It is not open source but they store plaintext markdown notes and its extendable with plenty of open source plugins.

And maybe patience to power through a lack of documentation.

Totally, I get it if its a means to an end to get something like Jellyfin up.

Maybe its a me thing. I just like to understand the mechanics of the tools I use.

I’ve never used Portainer but I feel a GUI setup like it just abstracts Docker and prevents learning concepts that are conducive to understanding Docker. That’s why I’ve never used a GUI to manage my Docker environment.

Thanks for your work! I moved when I could finally import Wallabag bookmarks, and I’m loving everything so far.

This is just a small list, but plugins like beetcamp, deezer, and lastgenre among others have been helpful to tag music. If you use deemix or buy music from bandcamp those plugins are extremely helpful. Lastgenre needs some configuring and monitoring to make sure irrelevant tags aren’t assigned to songs though.

If you’re into scripting, calliope is another tool that can interact with Spotify, lastfm, and musicbrainz (though musicbrainz stuff in my experience was unreliable). I’m using calliope to scrap together a solution to sync my local favorites in my music library and sync that to Spotify. It can also create playlists for Spotify from your local music library, and get Lastfm recommendations based on an artist or song.

I look forward to using LinkWarden eventually! My current bookmark setup involves both LinkDing and WallaBag which is a little quirky. Hopefully soon Wallabag exports could be imported and I’d be good to migrate.

For me, I know it doesn’t offer much privacy if its locally hosted, but the latency compared to using public instances is much better. Which may sound stupid, but at least I also don’t have to depend on another person for their instance.

I have been self-hosting a local Invidious instance for several months. I watch videos from it every day and I’ve had no IP ban so far.
