  • /c/piracy would probably be a better resource for you. The few comments from that side I’ve seen mostly indicate torrenting through VPN and using an arr stack.

    I mostly go garage sale hunting combined with refusing to buy anything with DRM. My library probably is not as extensive as what you would have if you are a movie or TV aficionado. I use it for movies, tv shows, and music. It’s been great so far. Paired with Finamp as a player on my phone and Supersonic on the desktop I can get around the otherwise somewhat awkward music library management. I love the show and movie default interface.

    Note, I believe Jellyfin is also starting to do books. I have not tried it in that application yet.



  • I used proxmox and its made backing things up pretty simple. Once a week I have backups copied up to filen for remote storage.

    I host: Heimdall - easy homepage for my wife and I to access services. Gitea - git stuff. Photoprism - running into a number of bugs and considering switching to immich. HomeBox - asset tracking with associated documentation NGINX reverse proxy - what it says on the tin BookStack - simple book style wiki Portainer - docker container management Paperless-ngx - Helps organize documents. Jellyfin - media server


  • Appreciate everyone’s help. What I ended up doing was moving to porkbun as I (a) saved money with some of the whois privacy items, (b) got free SSL certificates, and © it worked with the automated certbot tie in with Nginx-Prox-Manager. I did confirm I could manually load certs into Nginx but have very limited time at the moment and this seemed like a straightforward path.

    Certainly the proposals for self-hosted DNS servers are interesting and something I may experiment with in the future but times limited at the moment. Now I’m just working out why Jellyfin and Photoprism work perfectly but homebox doesn’t want to work with the domain name. Another round of learning begins!



  • My internal network is blocked off from the internet and I’m not actually planning to enable tailscale for VPN in (my understanding of its purpose). This is really just so I can use sub domains like ‘homebox.mydomain.space’ to access and get a registered SSL certificate to switch all internal over. I’m not using the duckdns that Wolfgang did because I already registered a good custom domain that I use for my e-mail.
