I’m using nvidia right now with a 3060. It doesnt use much power, I got it for pretty cheap on ebay, and it encodes/decodes everything except for av1 encoding which I dont have use for. Looking at the charts in the link below, if you need to encode av1 you’ld need a 4000 series.

I’ve found nvidia to work pretty well for jellyfin, I use docker with the nvidia container toolkit and it just worked with hardware encoding out of the gate. I also have some other docker containers running gen ai and the 3060 handles them well as long as the modle will fit in vram.

I was using it as a free domain for local things. I had a local address stored in duckdns as *.example.duckdns.org -> 192.168.1.x which pointed to an nginx reverse proxy that I then used to point at different services I host locally. It worked with letsencrypt so I could use https. I bought a domain from namecheap yesterday and have since switched to using them, with the benefit of the new domain being much shorter to type lol. I’m still working on getting letsencrypt working so that I dont have to pay for an ssl, but regular http works fine since its all internal to my network.

This is the first time I’ve noticed it not working, if its consistent I’ll probably switch but I havent looked for alternatives yet

It seems to be intermittent? I can access it sometimes and other times I cant. When I cant unbound logs this 2024-03-26T11:14:08-04:00 Error unbound [20503:2] error: SERVFAIL <www.duckdns.org. A IN>: all servers for this domain failed, at zone duckdns.org. no server to query nameserver addresses not usable

Dang I wish I knew about this a month ago, I just built a NAS myself. Thanks for the link!

I can recommend the dietpi OS; it is a minimal os that comes with a package manager for installing containers for things like radarr, sonarr, deluge, and jellyfin, which will allow you to download/watch movies(find on radarr, download with deluge, watch on jellyfin) and tv shows (find on sonarr, download with deluge, watch on jelyfin) in a fairly autonomous way. Its a bit of setup if you havent done it before it might not be for you but once its running its fairly seamless.

Interesting read, thanks for posting. I hadn’t considered how predictive text works in a terminal emulator and its cool to see how that works as well as getting a better understanding of child processes and what commands would/wouldn’t start one

I threw this on my server to see how it runs, I’m not able to see any of my library( I think this is the connection to jellyfin) or any way that it connects to my sonarr/radarr services? I tripple checked that the api keys are correct but I’m still not seeing anything. I saw that someone else said that it does browser caching and I have a large library so maybe that is the issue. I look forward to seeing how this project progresses because I host all of these services and it will be nice to have one place to go for them.
