Similar to the others although I have messed with Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, and even a few others for like a day or two each.

At the moment I am using Fedora. My drives are raided and my main storage has all the data and the docker config directory’s.

Using docker for everything, watchtower for updates, and pertained to manage the containers with a gui. All the containers are directed to /mnt/drive/allMyData. In there is my data folders. Shows, movies, plex configs for recording over the air, ebooks, documents, etc.

Mainly I set it up this way so I can easily change distros if I wanted to and have all my services back up in an hour or so.

I started a text file that contains the command lines I have used to start all of my docker containers. This way if I need to I reference it and use the exact same commands mapped volumes to the same folders. Now I am back up and running in a few clicks. No need to backup the container if all the data in it is setup in folders in my main data directory.

However I am running a separate hardware raid setup prior to os. This way all my data stays safe as a separate volume.

Ahh, well I have found the Jellyfin clients to be less than perfect on appleTV. You may want to try another endpoint client if you don’t want to try another server side software.

Since you are against using plex even with using it only locally I would suggest you look into the Jellyfin clients support. Specifically look at each client device documentation and take a look at what audio and video codex they natively support. If there is one they both support then I suggest you do some testing and stream a movie or show that is encoded with that specific format. This will let you know if it will work across both clients whether it’s a stream issue hardware issue or Wi-Fi issue.

This will prevent transcoding that can cause audio sync issues.

Edit - if that works then I suggest you convert you library to that format.

Kodi has the IR stuff built in from what I remember. At least on windows it did years ago. You just need a “media remote” at one point called windows media remote. It’s a usb or receiver with a regular IR remote.

After a quick google here is a list I found.

Then I have some prime real estate in Florida to sell ya.

Edit - Okay jokes aside I actually can’t tell if you were joking so I had some fun.

This is true however there are much more documented instances of this in America. Could be a pure numbers game (more people more cases) but no full proof of that.

That’s a fair point, I don’t want my info given to every private company out there. However the idea of the biometrics (if you take it at face value [no pun intended]) is that the biometrics are stored on the chip in your device. Then the password or authorization is then granted based on approval from that.

It’s not like you can grab another phone and try to log into said service with your biometrics.

Not sure about Android but IOS you can actually use FaceID for all the things you want like password managers, log into PayPal, and other biometric features but have it disabled to unlock the phone. It’s what I do, you don’t need to spam anything. Just use a pin to unlock.

Ahh. Misunderstood.

You can also deploy it easily with docker to get it running quick.
