Thank you. This is more aligned with what I was hoping for. I wanted a way to access these services but still lock the device down as much as I can. Thank you for sharing.


Actually this is a more clear idea of what I was looking for. A device I could get these apps on and still have control over the device.


Thank you for the tips! This seems like it may be a good option.


Was actually unaware of SmartTube. Looks like it may cover that part for me :). I had also never heard of LineageOS, I’ll take a look there too. I have a Pi4 laying about I was going to use.

As for FireTV I may just end up going that rout, I was just curious what the options looked like. Thank you for taking the time to enlighten me :).


Actually hadn’t though of this. Thank you!


I do have a pi-hole set up, but alas it won’t stop YT ads.


Media Center Question - Jellyfin/Steam/YT
Evening Lemmy, I have run into a small hiccup in my self-hosting journey. Youtube on my TV in the living room has ads... and they become more unbearable by the day. To that end, I'd like to set up a Raspberry Pi (Or something) to run as a one-stop for media. Ideally, I'd like it to have YouTube (Or more likely NewPipe/FreeTube), Steam Link and access to my Jellyfin instance. More ideally, I'd like this to be controllable with a controller (TV Remote, Steam controller, doesn't matter). The reason for the latter is that I'd rather not create too much trouble for my wife when she uses the TV. I've done some looking, and I seem to be able to get an Amazon Firestick to run NewPipe, and Jellyfin, and maybe even the Steam Link but from the stories I've read it's... less than ideal. So, I was hoping there may be an alternative. The goal is to get all three in one system, with decently user friendly functionality. Has anyone set something similar up, and could you point me in a direction.

Ohhh I may have to look into unraid then. Didn’t realize there was a one time deal. Thanks for the tips.


Makes sense! Thanks for saving me some time and money. I have gig internet as is so I know both my router and switch can handle it. Should be good with what I’ve got then for a while. Thank you kindly :))


I generally do prefer containers. But I’ll be sure to stick to them as much as possible. Thanks for the tips!


Ahhh well then I should be good on 1g. Thanks for saving me some bucks though :)


Ohhh yes. If I wasn’t down for hiccups I would have given up with nginx haha. Figuring out how to make the damn admin place for pihole not require /admin took me waaay longer than I’d like to admit haha. At any rate though. Learning is half the fun :)


Thanks for the reply! Yes, having a clear upgrade path was a big part of this. Just being able to move forward when needed without replacing stuff for a bit.

I’ll have to look at jellyfin I haven’t dug too deep on the media host yet. Thanks for the heads up :))

Looks like 4 sata headers. So prolly gonna grab some hdds.

As for my network. I have a decent router, though I can’t remember the model at the moment. I’m using a 1gig switch at the moment to split everything through my network. I’m planning to get that upgraded to a 10g next.


First Real Self Host Setup question
So I finally finished gathering the hardware for my first real homelab. I currently have a pi that I run nginx, searxng, and pihole, but I'm looking to move to something more hefty. I'll probably leave pihole and nginx on the pi. I'm wanting to set up plex to host things for home use as well as a way to store photos, Documents, etc locally. Ideally my friends and I play games like valheim and icarus and I would like to be able to use a vm or container to host game servers when needed. My hardware currently consists of an amd 4650g pro, 16gig ddr4, amd a520 mobo and 2 1tb m2s. My question is I'm considering setting up proxmox for this but I wanted to see advice before I go to far. Is there a more preferred option? I'm not too hung up on cost but ideally I don't want anything to run through like a host page off my network or something. And I would like something that will allow me to expand storage since 2tb isn't really a lot

Do you happen to know how I would find what port it’s on and where I would change it? My Pi-hole actually defaulted to /admin, and when using my Searx instance I never had to use a port, so I’m not entirely sure where that info would be.


I’m interested in how I would do this. Google basically just gives me steps for assigning IPs to VMs which isnt quite what I’m looking for.


Got it, thank you kindly :)


Ignore my ignorance here. You’re talking about something like Nginx?


Pi-Hole and Searxng Question
Hey all, I'm relatively new to self hosting. I set up a SearxNG on my local network and then recently set up Pi-Hole. Searx is running in a docker container and Pi-Hole is not. However, after setting up Pi-hole the IP I use to connect to Searx now directs to the default the default placeholder page. So my Pi-hole runs on 192.168.0.19/admin and Searx used to run just on 192.168.0.19. I'm guessing there's a config somewhere that I can change to make both work at once I'm just not sure where. Google was less than helpful (or maybe I'm an idiot lol) so I was hoping someone here may have run into a similar issue.

Under look and feel. You can set the post view to list. You may have to fiddle with some of the other settings there but it gets it close.


You can also set up up so that it looks very similar to rif. The devs have been pretty active with updates as well. It’s been my go to since leaving reddit.


roguelikes and lemmy
Hello friends! Is there a lemmy community for roguelikes? I am, in this case, looking for a place focused on more traditional roguelikes (DCSS, CCDDA, BROGUE, etc) If there isn't one, no worries, send me you're favorite unknown traditional roguelikes. I'll tell you mine. It's called "Empires of Eradia" it's a more open combat focused RL with a unique twist on permadeath. It's got great crafting and a strong focus on risk reward.
