if youre using Emby/Jellyfin you would just need emby to access the folder with your music. users would be authenticated through emby.

i think you should groom your media before you drop it into a media broadcasting solution like emby. i use MediaElch for video, you could use picard for music management. im fairly certain picard has dup detection and rename abilities.

so you get all your music tagged, renamed and encoded the way ya want. then get them organized into files/folders… then drop that into your emby library.

lidarr is for obtaining media files and creating a process that automatically injects it into your library. you would want emby running correctly first.

you can hardly tell you had that tbi awhile back. congrats!

100% agree. gluetun solved my vpn bleeding/failure problems.

friends dont let friends host email. its just become too top heavy (complexity-wise) if you want it to be fully functional and secure.

at some point the stock motors will just evolve and the slow ones wont be available anymore. the supply chain will upgrade even if they dont require speed

sounds like your issue isnt with the number of networks, but how youre addressing them. fix that.

if youve got a container that only needs a single or a few ip’s then its defined network should reflect that.

docker, persistent shared storage

yes!

so the way this works is, you only pay for the lift from your EC2 instance to the s3 bucket, then cloudfront serves the bucket directly to public, which is far cheaper than EC2-> public

i dont think ive even triggered the non-free tier of cloudfront yet.

yep

saves me a ton on storage costs. the bucketing for the cdn is orders of magnitude cheaper to store/deliver than from the web server itself. this would be on amazon hosting.

just my 2 cents, if youre going to do raid, buy a thing that will do it…

a nas or enclosure where the hardware does all the heavy lifting. do not build raided system from a bunch of disks… i have had, and have had friends have many failures over the years from those home brew raids failing in one way or another and its usually the software that causes the raid to go sideways… mayvbe shits better today than it was 10-20 years ago.

its just off my list. i bought a bunch of cheap nas devices that handle the raid, and then i mirror those devices for redundancy.

yeah, re-encode to a lighter encoding like 264. might be slightly larger, but less work for the cpu

server. it was choking on decoding

i had this problem. i fixed it with a faster machine. same os, same files. more cpu worked.

email is one of the only services i just gave up on (after rolling my own exchange for over a decade). its too annoyingly complex, tedious to do correctly for just yourself. its not worth it.

whatever take it leave dont care, just my suggestion i standy by. have a nice day

ha, uh, that is what they do there. maybe go take a look before jumping to conclusions. they also have great privacy costs for those domains

pay for what you use

whats your budget?

with a NAS i tend to go with a commercial product, and only for that purpose. it stores the data, maybe serves it up as file server. thats the NAS one job.

my processing happens on another box, like your pi. i want the nas focused on its single purpose.

so my suggestion would be to pickup a netgear/synology whatever, but only use it as a nas.

if you want to expand that pi, just use a real machine and upgrade yourself to maybe a nice docker setup.
