Sharing music collection easily?
What would be the easiest self hosted way to share a music collection privately? I am thinking of just granting guest access to the nas folder via wireguard or a simple caddy instance but also more sophisticated versions. It would be good (but not a must) to have a search feature enabled. Any recommendations?

I heard good things about Newsblur. They offer a service and an open source version for self hosting

This is a great hint, thank you. I just discovered that the official restic docs recommend this method too

Thank you!

This might be a good idea. It would only work for files that allow read access for the group, but that should be fine


Restic uses smart Delta backups, creating a tar before the restic process would defeat the purpose. The permission issue is the same, as I need to have access to the Files either way.


How to access all files in docker volumes for backups?
I am using restic for backups. I would like to use a non-root user to backup my docker volumes. As the files in the volumes have very different access rights and groups, accessing them is difficult without root rights. Chowning the files doesn't help sustainably, as new files are created with a different group again. What recommendation do you have to smoothly backup files from the docker volumes?
