I’m sitting here thinking about projects, wishing I could fire up a new VM and install Debian while I sit here on the couch. Then I would have a fresh VM ready to go after I recover from sitting on the couch....
I bought 5 of these less than two years ago, though they were the 500 GB model. Every single one of them has failed - some within 45 days and just outside the return period. The last one, which I honestly forgot was still running and thought I’d replaced, failed this morning....
I’ll just come out and say it: 50W. I know, I know an order of magnitude above what’s actually needed to host websites, media center and image gallery....
yah, my house is wired with copper and 10 gig copper uses a lot of power. It doesn’t really help that the new slightly less power hungry 48 port 10 gig switches are thousands of dollars. I’m using 100 to 150ish watts per 10 gig switch to be able to buy the switch for under 500 bucks instead of using 60-100 watts and paying 2-5k per switch…
Just came here to say this, it workson a 10 dollar a year racknerd vps for me no problem. Matrix chugs on my much bigger vps, although it is sharing that with a bunch of other things, overall it should have mich more resources.
I was setting up a RSS reader with a bunch of webcomics but I immediately ran into the problem of some being on Instagram and I would like to have some way to handle that without having to use instagram. After some googling I found a bunch of links to abandoned or broken projects with documentation I did not understand....
I use rss-bridge for the popular stuff but I’ve found rss-funnel to be nicer for creating my own scrapes (mostly taking rss feeds that link to the website instead of the article and adding a link to the article mentioned on the website (github.com/shouya/rss-funnel)
I have watchtower to keep my 50 production docker containers up to date. So far I have never had to resort to an old image since the new one was bugged but I know of the risks and dont have the –cleanup flag activated so I could easily spin up the old image if necessary. I also keep daily (mirrored) backups so I should be ok...
Pretty much this. I don’t even bother with watchtower anymore. I just run this script from cron pointed at the directory I keep my directories of active docker containers and their compose files:
#/bin/sh for d in /home/USERNAME/stacks/*/ do (cd “$d” && docker compose pull && docker compose up -d --force-recreate) done; for e in /home/USERNAME/dockge/ do (cd “$e” && docker compose pull && docker compose up -d --force-recreate) done;
Because if you use relative bind mounts you can move a whole docker compose set of contaibera to a new host with docker compose stop then rsync it over then docker compose up -d.
Hi, as the title says, when streaming to the jellyfin app an a fire TV, the video freezes every two minutes. This happens when direct streaming, so it shouldn’t be a transcoding issue. Useing the website it works just fine. Any idea how I can find out what this is?...
just fyi, direct streaming isn’t really direct streaming as you may think of it if you have specified samba shares on your nas instead of something on the vm running jellyfin. it will still pull from the nas into jellyfin and then http stream from jellyfin, whihc is super annoying.
jellyfin has a spot for each library folder to specify a shared network folder, except everything just ignores the shared network folder and has jellyfin stream it from https. Direct streaming should play from the specified network source, or at least be easily configurable to do so for situations where the files are on a nas seperate from the docker instance so that you avoid streaming the data from the nas to the jellyfin docker image on a different computer and then back out to the third computer/phone/whatever that is the client. This matters for situations where the nas has a beefy network connection but the virtualization server has much less/is sharing among many vms/docker containers (i.e. I have 10 gig networking on my nas, 2.5 gig on my virtualization servers that is currently hamgstrung to 1 gig while I wait for a 2.5 gig switch to show up) They have the correct settings to do this right built into jellyfin and yet they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory (a common theme for jellyfin unfortunately).
Ha e you looked at dockge? I like it way more than portainer, atleast for single instance. It works with normal compose files so it keeps your stuff a lot more compatible to change and its by the guy who makes uotime kuma.
I’m a retired Unix admin. It was my job from the early '90s until the mid '10s. I’ve kept somewhat current ever since by running various machines at home. So far I’ve managed to avoid using Docker at home even though I have a decent understanding of how it works - I stopped being a sysadmin in the mid '10s, I still worked...
dockge is amazing for people that see the value in a gui but want it to stay the hell out of the way. github.com/louislam/dockgelets you use compose without trapping your stuff in stacks like portainer does. You decide you don’t like dockge, you just go back to cli and do your docker compose up -d --force-recreate .
you need to create a docker-compose.yml file. I tend to put everything in one dir per container so I just have to move the dir around somewhere else if I want to move that container to a different machine. Here’s an example I use for picard with examples of nfs mounts and local bind mounts with relative paths to the directory the docker-compose.yml is in. you basically just put this in a directory, create the local bind mount dirs in that same directory and adjust YOURPASS and the mounts/nfs shares and it will keep working everywhere you move the directory as long as it has docker and an available package in the architecture of the system.
Anybody see a 48 port managed 2.5 Gig ethernet switch for reasonable pricing yet? it seems like these are still either thousands of dollars or sold for chinese market without appropriate certificatiosn to be plugged into the north american electric grid. Any help would be appreciated (even better if it has 2-4 SFP+ 10 gig ports...
I know that for data storage the best bet is a NAS and RAID1 or something in that vein, but what about all the docker containers you are running, carefully configured services on your rpi, installed *arr services on your PC, etc.?...
virtualize the machine with proxmox, use proxmox backup server, load vm on new system if you get catastrophic failure on the machine running the vm currently.
will it let you do rootless nfs mounts into the container? That’s the showstopper for me, as that is by far the best way to just make this all work within the context of my file storage.
