Lmao I would be too! You’re self hosting services behind a reverse proxy and familiar enough with docker to set that up, but you’re clearly not a very tech savvy person…! Haha. There’s levels to everything, I guess. Weird gatekeep though, perhaps lost in translation
Thanks! If I can be candid, I almost asked for your best piece of advice in my previous comment, so I appreciate it. I’ve heard great things about both - Synology especially people always seem to have good things to say. Still doing the research and deciding the best hardware path for the use case at the moment, so I’ll be sure to keep you in mind and pick your brain sometime!
Yep, looking at doing the exact same thing myself, albeit smaller scale to start with. I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the ride despite the cost, because I know I’m headed down the same path, lol. Cheers.
I’m sure it’s cheaper to maintain overall too, not including the one-time costs of hardware. Plus as you said, control is very valuable - and you get privacy, too! Nobody selling your usage data.
People were complaining about cable costing that much - now a single streaming service does. We have gone from “hmm, maybe it’s easier to just pay Netflix 12 bucks a month” back to “this shit is too expensive, I’m gonna pirate my media”
Entertainment companies just can’t seem to figure out how to deliver content to us in a convenient and affordable way.
My mistake! I saw it referenced on the official site and assumed.
