You look like a solution searching for a problem.

[–] s1mkin@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What is that index page you are displaying in the screenshot?

Audiobookshelf is a must if you're collecting audiobooks.

[–] soum8419@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Which software is this?

[–] puppetjazz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Gotta run em all! Self hosted services!

[–] RazzFraggle81@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Would try this one https://gethomepage.dev/v0.7.3/

I'm also running heimdal , but like this better...

[–] RPaisley@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That looks great. Does it have authentication?

[–] RazzFraggle81@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Hmm do not think it has auth, but some things are best kept local. Is updated quite often do do think it will show up some day

[–] badi95@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I am in the process of making the switch, and one thing I miss about Heimdall is the ability to set the background color of the card. I've made a feature request.

I never understood why people have a separate 4K instance of sonarr/radarr. Can someone explain?

[–] RPaisley@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

For my 4K films I also prefer to have an HD copy.

[–] thekrautboy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because Plex is a bitch and often doesnt play nice when you have different resolutions of the same movie/episode. So in order to keep things working properly (as in, only transcode when absolutely needed, or never) a lot of people have their 4K content in a separate library from the other stuff. And then they only share the 4K libraries with those users who are capable of directplaying it for example. This avoids a lot of issues. And as a result of that you also have separate 4K instances of Radarr/Sonarr so things dont get mixed up.

Of course someone will comment "but it works perfect for me duh!"

[–] Dan6erbond2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You're right but I just want to mention for many this is unnecessary. If your userbase is small, especially when they're all on the same network using modern devices with Findroid/Swiftfin/JMP they can easily direct stream 4K and in my personal case my GPU can handle multiple 4K transcodes so when it does have to do that it's not a big deal.

It is like this is an ever evolving space with new tools coming up all the time and people want the newer stuff to try and host.

[–] thekrautboy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, you are right so much changes in only a week that we need the same post repeated weekly.

[–] Wdrussell1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

New tools get released every single day.

[–] Hairless_Human@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Homepage. Sorry but that dashboard is ugly as shit.

[–] BruiserBaracus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What are you using FreePBX for and how are you handling it?

[–] berrywhit3@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Question in reverse, what's this dashboard called?

[–] dcipha380@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How about running pi-hole for ad-blocking

[–] schklom@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

PfSense can do that

[–] Panz_Hunter@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I would recommend adding a backup solution like duplicati

[–] RPaisley@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Excellent thanks. I definitely do need a backup.

[–] DeviousRetard@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've got some projects that are fun to get up and running for sure.

  • Kasm Workspaces - Containerized apps fully accesible through a browser. Think Firefox, Discord, or even a full Linux distro.
  • Games on Whale - Turn your server into a remote emulation station. You can use Moonlight to remote into your system and run all kinds of emulators. Requires a lot of config to get working though. (Look for Wolf, it's the improved version of Gamesonwhale"
  • Stable-diffusion - if you've spare GPU power, use it to generate some AI shit. Fun as fuck to mess around with.
  • speedtest-tracker - Love my metrics. Keeps track of your up/down rates.
  • AudioBookShelf - my go to Audiobook player. good phone apps too.
[–] RPaisley@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks for the suggestions

[–] kdog720@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What is you reasoning for multiple sonarr instances for different qualities? Not hating just curious.

[–] RPaisley@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That's exactly it. If I have it in 4K I like to have it in HD to save on the transcoding. It also gives an excuse for a second set of posters in Plex 😉

[–] kdog720@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Makes total sense. I love the ingenuity.

[–] thekrautboy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Try /r/PlexMetaManager if you want to ~~waste~~ spend hours on posters and metadata.

[–] Sweet_Baby_Moses@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I've been using Plex for years. The client is available for almost any device, and it doesn't require any media management, just download a TV or Movie into a directory and adds the metadata immediately. Like Netflix at home. You can also build public links for friends to view your library.

[–] Outrageous_Pie_988@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What is this dashboard?

[–] Beepinheimer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How would you rate the setup difficulty for FreePBX? I’ve got an old Cisco Handset lying around here somewhere.

[–] YYCwhatyoudidthere@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bunkerweb for secured reverse proxy.

Dozzle for docker troubleshooting.

Security Onion to consume any spare time and hard drive space.

[–] MuffelMonster@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

wireguard, traefik, portainer, Adguard Home, Miniflux (for reddit rss), paperless (document storage), pdf convert (pdf converter, pdf tools) and tandoor (cooking receipt db)
