Yes, you’re so helpful. We are so lucky to have you.

You are clearly in the wrong here. Please take a time-out.

I used Plex for a long time but moved to Jellyfin after reading about the general direction Plex is going (trying to commercialize it, partner up with industry, make it more than just a self hosted media service).

Both have what you’re looking for.

I would say Plex is slightly easier and has the benefit of PlexAmp (available for Linux, Windows, and mobile).

That being said, Jellyfin is about the same ease to get set up, but it’s just a tad less polished, but in sort of a nice way. It feels more like “yours”, if that makes sense.

For both, I recommend hosting them in Docker, using Docker Compose, and using the LinuxServer version. LinuxServer maintains updated software, packaged in an easy to install format and they help you out with sample Docker Compose files and explanations to get things running.

I was about to say “of course you can trust it, it’s from The Internet Archive”, but the ArchiveTeam slogan is “We Are Going To Rescue Your Shit”. Now I wonder if they’re officially affiliated or not.

I don’t have a tech background. Currently hosting 25 different things in docker. I wonder if there are actually more non-tech people who do it, because tech industry people might want to take a break in their off time.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Might be better to install it through Obtanium by adding this link https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-manager

I’m doing this with Immich as the photo storage software, MagicMirror OS on a raspberry pi, and the MMM-ImmichSlideShow module to show the pictures on an old computer monitor.

If you’re new to self hosting stuff, this will be sort of difficult to get set up. If you’re comfortable with the command line, config files, docker, etc, then it’s worth the effort.

UltraViolet almost let you do this, but of course there was all sorts of proprietary fuckery to deal with. They shut down in 2019.

I recommend just getting either:

1. A cheap prebuilt desktop computer, or
2. Build yourself a computer

It doesn’t have to be a “server”.

That review started off promising, but then the guy starts selling it. Boo.

Same. I still keep portainer around in case I want to browse/manage images and networks from a GUI, though.

Dockge makes it so much easier to update things, though.

I don’t plan on being back at the hospital for a while, so I guess we’ll never find out!

I use a wildcard certificate, I wonder how common that is? That might be something they block, but yeah… I wonder why.

https is in the URL, yes. I agree it’s weird, especially since my Lemmy instance works. It’s hosted by Hetzner but all of the certificate stuff is set up the same way. It could be some sort of residential IP address filter?

Thanks. Yup, wireguard makes it work. I forgot about that from the last time.

It’s still a little curious, though. The certs for my self hosted stuff are done the same was as for the Lemmy instance I’m posting from which I can browse with no problem. The only difference is Lemmy is hosted on Hetzner. Both are behind Nginx Proxy Manager.

Thanks. I’m past the captive portal and can browse the rest of the internet no problem.

If I remember correctly, I think I tried running Lemmy using Yunohost about a year ago. I don’t remember exactly how it went, but I don’t think I was successful. It was probably my fault since Lemmy has a few moving parts.

At the end of the day, I just prefer containers and run all of my stuff in Docker.

I like the idea of Yunohost, but I wonder if it’s geared towards people who prefer to run things on bare metal… and that type of person doesn’t usually need a helper script type of solution.

I think others have already said this, but to sum it up…

To extend wifi, avoid repeaters (unless speed isn’t a big deal). Get a hard-wired Access Point. TP-Link makes some of you want to stick to consumer brands. Ubiquity and Grandstream are a bit more “prosumer”. I don’t have actual experience with Grandstreem, but the advantage is you don’t need to run software to set them up. You can do it through a web browser.

These options need to be wire with Ethernet. You’ll power them with a PoE injector.

“Mesh” typically refers to a main router/wifi AP combo, and an add-on WiFi AP, with a wireless link to the main router. This works well for a lot of people, and if worked well for you before, you might want to go back to that if you can’t run wires to a “real” access point.

Using another router in Access Point mode is an option, but it would sort of be a waste of money (although, maybe not? Depends on price obviously). This will probably require a wire between the two routers, but you can probably also set it up as a wifi extender.

Fun fact: A lot of Ubiquity access points have “mesh”, but to my knowledge it only works with other Ubiquity/Unifi equipment. You still have to power it using ethernet and a PoE injector, but if there’s no network on that ethernet cable, it can link up wirelessly. I’m sure other brands have this as an option, too.

Yeah, all I see is under Administration -> settings -> Map & GPS settings, there’s a couple of things there. Nothing that disables location altogether I don’t think, just showing location on a map and looking up the city.

Which version?

I just checked and mine is working. I’ll look into server settings in a bit, but didn’t see any settings in the android app.
