I’m curious how you have automated/optimized your workflows for downloading, saving, archiving media.

For instance:

  1. On my laptop I download an epub into a folder that Calibre watches.
  2. Calibre copies and imports that epub into the Calibre library and removes the old epub.
  3. Calibre Library is hooked up to SyncThing, which passes the epub to my eReader.

My workflow is probably not the most efficient, but I’m hoping I can be inspired by people’s approaches.

i torrent video files via qbittorrent from my PC onto a truenas folder on my server (my old PC), which is attached to a jellyfin jail, from where i can watch it with every device i have wireguard vpn installed on. boom. private video streaming service.

for ebooks, the same thing happens, but i manually move the files onto my kobo libre 2. i don’t have very many ebooks to manage.

the syncthing idea is great, but i suspect your ebook reader is running android. the libre 2 runs a closed down version of linux i believe.

Normal domain only for allowing others access to specific services (like friends+family into emby/plex/jellyfin). VPN for easily secured access to all the backend interfaces like radarr/sonarr/qbittorrent or private services like vaultwarden.

I also run the VPN to keep mobile devices behind pihole for adblocking.

You didn’t ask me but possible reasons are:

  • Only exposing Wireguard leaves your server with minimal attack surface
  • Domains cost money
  • Can make Firewall management a whole lot easier
  • No need to encrypt each service manually
