Well what’s nice is that any device on your Tailscale network has a WireGuard connection between any other device on that network. You can also use exit nodes. While all of that can be achieved with WireGuard, the complexity of that can grow quite large as you add more nodes.

Yes exactly. QuickSync has been on Intel CPUs (i5 and up) since Sandy Bridge. But I’ve heard that only since 4th gen has it been out.
I would recommend a used SFF PC for docker, and a separate NAS like a Qnap for file storage.
Firefox and Jellyfin webui.
Settings >> Display >> Display Mode >> TV
Then get a small Bluetooth remote that has arrow keys, enter, backspace, and escape.
What don’t you like about docker?
Is it necessary to dedicate a WAP to IoT, etc? I would recommend setting up separate SSIDs and connect each to their own VLAN, and each VLAN a subnet. And have each WaP broadcast each SSID and have the router handle the traffic routing. That way WAPs are dedicated to the devices that they are near, not the devices they are assigned to.

The thing he does wrong is set up separate shares for downloads and media. These should instead be directories in a share called data (or whatever you choose to call it). That way when NZBGet moves the file from downloads to media, it just updates the file system to change the directory. The files stay on the same physical sectors of the drive. If they are in different shares, NZBGet needs to copy the file which can take extra time, wear and tear on the drives, and energy. It’s an unnecessary and expensive step due to a misconfiguration.
Best practice is to pass through the data directory to all your containers (and remove the movies and tv shows directories in the container since they’re included in data) and pass everything through there. It’ll work 1000x better.
But don’t take my word for it. Use trash’s guide for this.
PiHole is great but as it’s a DNS server, if your unraid machine is turned off then you have no dns and cannot reasonably use the internet. Luckily you can run two instances - one in a container and another on a raspberry pi (or any other machine) so if one of them goes down then you still have DNS. Then you can point your router at both - you always have two options for DNS, the second being a backup, or used for load balancing. Even Google and Cloudflare provide two DNS servers.
You need to maintain both simultaneously so they have the same blacklists and general settings. There is another service called GravitySync that handles that for you but I’ve never been able to get that to work.
Just be aware that SI1’s setup isn’t great and it’s better to use Trash’s guide. The main idea being that downloads and media should be on the same share.
Yay! We converted another one.
Yeah exactly. This is the main reason I decided not to attempt to self host a Lemmy instance. No way am I going to let anyone outside of my control have the ability to place a file of their choosing on my hardware. Big nope for me.
I agree. Unraid is great because it is user friendly and easily scalable. I started using it a few years ago just to set up a NAS with two HDDs and a Plex library and now have over 50 containers and 8 drives. That’s the beauty of it. You want more drives, just add one. I feel like TrueNAS is probably technically better but this feature was really important to me because I had a feeling that scaling up would be in my future.
The community is very supportive and SpaceInvader One is an amazing resource, as well as Trash (SIO is not trash, Trash is the name of another resource lol)
Installation is fairly painless. It’s set and forget for the most part.
People don’t need to log in using your google account. Anyone with an account (can be several other types of authentication, not just google) can have access to any of your servers, you just have to share it with them.
Could have been the db software you were running with it. It’s best to do that externally with something like mariadb. Not trying to convince you, just in case others are trying to make a decision between vm or docker.
Cool! I’ll give it a shot.
