You look like a solution searching for a problem.
I never understood why people have a separate 4K instance of sonarr/radarr. Can someone explain?
For my 4K films I also prefer to have an HD copy.
Because Plex is a bitch and often doesnt play nice when you have different resolutions of the same movie/episode. So in order to keep things working properly (as in, only transcode when absolutely needed, or never) a lot of people have their 4K content in a separate library from the other stuff. And then they only share the 4K libraries with those users who are capable of directplaying it for example. This avoids a lot of issues. And as a result of that you also have separate 4K instances of Radarr/Sonarr so things dont get mixed up.
Of course someone will comment “but it works perfect for me duh!”
You’re right but I just want to mention for many this is unnecessary. If your userbase is small, especially when they’re all on the same network using modern devices with Findroid/Swiftfin/JMP they can easily direct stream 4K and in my personal case my GPU can handle multiple 4K transcodes so when it does have to do that it’s not a big deal.
Which software is this?
Gotta run em all! Self hosted services!
Would try this one https://gethomepage.dev/v0.7.3/
I’m also running heimdal , but like this better…
That looks great. Does it have authentication?
Hmm do not think it has auth, but some things are best kept local. Is updated quite often do do think it will show up some day
I am in the process of making the switch, and one thing I miss about Heimdall is the ability to set the background color of the card. I’ve made a feature request.
It is like this is an ever evolving space with new tools coming up all the time and people want the newer stuff to try and host.
Yes, you are right so much changes in only a week that we need the same post repeated weekly.
New tools get released every single day.
Homepage. Sorry but that dashboard is ugly as shit.
What are you using FreePBX for and how are you handling it?
Question in reverse, what’s this dashboard called?
How about running pi-hole for ad-blocking
PfSense can do that
wireguard, traefik, portainer, Adguard Home, Miniflux (for reddit rss), paperless (document storage), pdf convert (pdf converter, pdf tools) and tandoor (cooking receipt db)
I would recommend adding a backup solution like duplicati
Excellent thanks. I definitely do need a backup.
What is you reasoning for multiple sonarr instances for different qualities? Not hating just curious.
That’s exactly it. If I have it in 4K I like to have it in HD to save on the transcoding. It also gives an excuse for a second set of posters in Plex 😉
Makes total sense. I love the ingenuity.
Try /r/PlexMetaManager if you want to
wastespend hours on posters and metadata.
I’ve got some projects that are fun to get up and running for sure.
- Kasm Workspaces - Containerized apps fully accesible through a browser. Think Firefox, Discord, or even a full Linux distro.
- Games on Whale - Turn your server into a remote emulation station. You can use Moonlight to remote into your system and run all kinds of emulators. Requires a lot of config to get working though. (Look for Wolf, it’s the improved version of Gamesonwhale"
- Stable-diffusion - if you’ve spare GPU power, use it to generate some AI shit. Fun as fuck to mess around with.
- speedtest-tracker - Love my metrics. Keeps track of your up/down rates.
- AudioBookShelf - my go to Audiobook player. good phone apps too.
Thanks for the suggestions
I’ve been using Plex for years. The client is available for almost any device, and it doesn’t require any media management, just download a TV or Movie into a directory and adds the metadata immediately. Like Netflix at home. You can also build public links for friends to view your library.
