What is everyone else hosting? What am I missing?

Wish I had the time/energy to host this much... Currently I'm running

  • Plex
  • Nextcloud (snap on ubuntu VM because its easy)
  • pihole
  • pivpn

I'm also running Jellyfin and Navidrome, in an attempt to determine if they are good alternatives to Plex for like 6 months at this point. See comments above about time/energy.

[-] rambos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Jellyfin ftw

I didnt use any speciall features on plex, but for me the only advantage of plex was the abbility to have all movies/tv shows in one folder. After switching to jellyfin and *arrs the folder structure is sorted so I have 0 reasons to consider plex again

[-] stom@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I love Jellyfin, but they need to sort their subtitle support out.

[-] rambos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Idk is it jellyfin or bazarr (probably bazarr), but subtitles are working fine here.

Personal preference: Jellyfin instead of plex

Some that I run that you don't seem to have anything for:

  • Lancache (if you have several gaming PCs on the network or host any kind of lan party)
  • surveillance camera software e.g. shinobi
  • I see grafana, but other monitoring services like icinga, librenms, etc
  • Mayan EDMS - I've found this really helpful as anything I get in the mail, I scan in, and this makes it all searchable and retrievable.
  • There's a whole hole you could dig if you start getting into home automation (I use home assistant)

What about Jellyfin do you prefer? I remember jellyfin not having the greatest hw encoding when I tried but that may be different now.

I use Intel Quick Sync and getting that to work with Plex through Unraid was a breeze. I certainly did not have the same experience with Jellyfin at the time.

[-] stevestevesteve@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm a huge supporter of open source, so Plex being closed alone makes it gross to me. Very little about Plex felt selfhosted.

I also like to tinker a lot and jellyfin lets me screw around with much more under the hood - precise encoding settings, dlna customizations, I'm sure there's more but the primary driver was ideology. I'm not giving my money to some company that's primarily developing features I don't want so that I can use my own media to the fullest.

I've had very little issue with hardware accelerated encoding, but I already had the right drivers installed and on unix OSes that's probably the hardest part

[-] ivyZorz@vlemmy.net 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the response! I think I’ll give it another shot when I get home. I’ve been procrastinating some of my home assistant projects so this is perfect haha

[-] chandz05@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

So I do have a jellyfin instance, but for some reason it couldn't play some video formats that Plex could. I haven't looked into it in too much detail yet though. And definitely need to look into Shinobi or frigate! Thanks for the suggestions!

[-] rov3r@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Check your encoding settings! Also if you use an iOS client, I highly recommend Swiftfin, as it seemed to support direct play on some files the Jellyfin app wouldn’t play at first. I’m still new to it too, but after I got my GTX 1080Ti set up on the right encoding settings, it’s been nothing but butter with everything I throw at it.

[-] Windex007@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I've been looking at something for my cameras. I got Zoneminder running but configuring its behaviour was a nightmare.

All I want is to keep a limited rotating backup of a few cameras. Would Shinobi do that?

[-] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Shinobi or frigate are fine for that.

Frigate markets itself as "AI detection" but it isn't required.

Also frigate is open source and.ahinobi is closed source.

Shinobi seems to be pretty lightweight though. I’m running it in an orangepi zero recording 4 cameras 24/7 and streaming their feeds with no hardware issues from the orangepi. Would frigate be able to run on light hardware?

[-] tappyturtle@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Could you share your settings file, or at least the background and icons? I love the aesthetic

[-] Aaronjamt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Seconded, I'd love that Docker UI for my UnRaid NAS

[-] chandz05@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Checkout Homepage in community apps! It's configurable via YAML files

[-] ryphez@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Looks like Homepage (need GitHub link). The setup is pretty well documented with widget support. Background definitely would be nice though

[-] stom@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Is it Dashy?

Edit: nope, it's Homepage

Plex Jellyfin Plex_debrid Lemmy Home assistant Home bridge Minecraft Valheim Librespeed

[-] chandz05@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Whoa haven't heard of plex_debrid until now. How is the quality with the streams? Can quality be controlled like how downloads are with sonarr/radar?

[-] FrayDabson@vlemmy.net 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah you can. The guy who makes it has done excellent work and has an active discord server. I love it.

[-] J_C___@lemmy.place 1 points 1 year ago

@chandz05 I'd totally add in Organizr to create a single page solution to access all of your various services. Beats bookmarks any day of the week

[-] chandz05@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Y'know, I've played around with Organizr a little bit and didn't quite like it. I think I had some trouble setting it up or something. I'll probably go back to try it again at some point

[-] J_C___@lemmy.place 1 points 1 year ago

I've been using doplarr with great success, one less port I need to forward/service to configure

How hard was it to set up homepage to show all of this? This is very cool, well done

[-] chandz05@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

So there is a bit of a learning curve, but the Homepage docs are pretty well written. YAML is a bit of a bitch to work with though. Very similar to JSON and easy to read, but God forbid you aad some unintentional whitespace

[-] tom@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Could you DM me the Homepage link? I'm not finding it among generic results. Yes, I'm a wee bit dim.

looks amazing!!

[-] J_C___@lemmy.place 2 points 1 year ago

Which nextcloud image do you use? I've been having issues with the linuxserver being kinda buggy at times (not loading file previews or not being able to close a preview without editing the URL) the app has performed pretty well but the web ui hasnt been great

[-] chandz05@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'm using the linuxserver one. It was a bit buggy for me, but I feel it's improved with each update. Especially the new one, v27 I think? I also feel like the longer the server is online, the better it feels, so it may be a caching thing too
