For Jellyfin, dont get any lower than 8th gen if you want to transcod using quick sync. And if i correctly remember, you will nee 10th gen or higher for 10bit transcoding.

Can i use it to store my note in plain markdown format instead of in some kind of database?

I use tailscale and it is great, i dont mind activating a vpn whenever i want to acces my services, but that is an extra weird step for my sister to access my jellyfin library. Do you use a reverse proxy? If so how many ports do you have exposed (say for 10 hosted services)?

Would you please share what dynamic dns provider you use? I remember trying to set nginx pm to use my no-ip hostname (xyz.ddns.net) but I could not figure out how to link my hosted-services as subdomains (say portainer.xyz.ddns.net)

PWA that works offline and syncs when back online. Note that this means that all files will be on your device

Someone else mentioned Silverbullet, I hosted on my home server and it looks promising, here are a few thing I will need to explore:

• The PWA sound like a feature I was hoping, i will need to check it out
• Is there any android client rather than using the web-interface that firefox wont let me connect to remotely without a valid certificat.
• While it looks easy to use markup language using /, I’m wondering is there is a plugin that add a tool bar or a client app that does have it.

Thank you for your comment

Ddns is your answer, check your router and see what it can support or just go with whatever you feel good for you and install their updater on your server.

I can always get the media again if need be.

Doesn’t that mean you already have backup? It may not be the easiest to restore, but it is a backup nevertheless.

Xrdp with it default configuration on debain12 worked for me pretty fine to access it from windows 7’s remote desktop protocol on a local network. There was no sound though, so you may need to tweak it to use pipewire or whatever you are using on your linux machine, if you are using any.

A buggy USB drive dropping out and losing writes it claimed to have written can kill a btrfs

Mixing USB and SATA drives sounds like a very bad idea, I’m holding on using an array of drives connected using USB. hank you for your comment

Thank you for the links, I will hold on using RAID and stick with BTRFS single until I upgrade my storage to higher capacity or my server to something with more reliable SATA slots

Hardware wise, docker on debian is much efficient (and easier to pass through your gpu for hardware decoding) than docker on a vm or lxc on proxmox.

OP needs a proper router that make use of their 3g fiber which will be mostly newer and powerfull and has better wifi. That should be their 1st priority.

Edit: You don’t need a 2.5gb ethernet (or better for futur proofing) for every client, but that NAS and Hypervisor could use that bandwith so consider yor options while you are at it.

Thanks for the heads-up

Thanks foe explaining, I know podman is rootless. My service where running their own non-login users (qbituser for qbitorrent, emby for emby and so own) and I needed to sudo if I want to change anything. It’s not a big deal for me so Docker seems easier to use.

If you would please, why not run the containers on top of Proxmox directly instead of in a VM on top of Proxmod?

I’m containerizing everything, I like to keep my setup simple, no OS containerizing since I will be using a low power minipc (NUC, Hp mini, dell micro or lenovo tiny), I will use proxmox in the VM to get an idea on how it works and because I think the web UI might be easier to use than SSHing to the VM. Later on the new server I will mostly use debain+docker.

I considering containerizing everything, except the OS (I’m not ready for immutable OSes yet). I mentioned Docker because it is what I keep finding guides for and which I think is simpler. How is it compared with Podman (for a beginner in containerizing)

Edit: I will mostly use BTRFS and snapshots, and I would definitely put my containers in a separate subvolume to avoid data loss when rolling back.

Thanks for the V2P not, if containerizing everything turned to be a headache, I will opt for a normal non-containerized setup with the idea of converting my VM to a physical machine

Thanks for the note about tftp. I used to use FTP to transfer file from/to my android phone which got me around ~30MB (local transfer), but abandoned it (due to security reasons) for SSH file transfer which only got me ~8MB for local transfer (my phone probably is slow in decrypting). So, I was thinking of keeping SSH file transfer for remote transfer and use tftp (due to its UDP layer) for local transfer. If webdav offered reasonable local transfer speed, I will use it to replace all the above.

Android is no problem at all, Tizen however is a mistake I will never do again. I have a MU7000 samsung TV (2017 model), it has plex (came free in its store) but no emby (emby is another option that is mostly open source) or jellyfin (Emby fork that is fully open source). I had an Intel NUC5 celeron based that acted as a server, the cpu was pretty efficient (6w) but it was not powerful enough for transcoding (converting the video to something the tv can play)

My experience with my Samsung TV.

Plex: Can direct play almost anything (stream to the tv without converting the video). I’m a non-native english japanese anime fan who needs subtitles all the time. The problem is that plex will turn to transcoding if subtitles are on and my server was not powerful enough to handle fluent transcoded stream.

Emby: it is not in the tizen store (at least for my tv), fortunately the emby team release a tizen binary that can be installed through a USB thumb drive. Now emby works pretty good with and withouth subtitles. It does not have ads (for premium subscription) on android but it does have a once every 24h add in the Tizen version. Not a big deal but just remember you are more likely to be treaded a 2nd class consumer for having a damn Tizen TV.

Jellyfin: Not available on Samsung store, I had to enable devlopper mod on my tv and install Tizen studio with CLI on my pc to compile Jellyfin for my TV, then install it through Tizen CLI only to be surprised by how sluggish it worked, the UI was very unoptimized which is natural as it was not supporting my tv to begin with. Half my remote (samsung one remote black version) did not work so I decided it was not worth it.

Say that again in 3rd world country with a 3rd world wage.
