  • Oh, routing, I remember watching an “off site back up” video where they set up IP tables, or IP forwarding, or some such, so when their parents tried to access jellyfin locally it was routed over tailscale. Maybe I’m misremembering though, I’m not confident enough to start thinking about it seriously, so I logged it as “that’s possible” and moved on.

    That way I just have to keep one instance of jellyfin/immich/etc up to date. It’s all a bit beyond my ken currently but it’s the way I’m trying to head. At least until I learn a better way.

    Ideally, I give someone a pi all set up. They plug it in go to service.domain.xyz and it routes to me. Or even IP:Port would be fine, I’ll write them down and stick it to their fridge.

    My parents and I run each others’ off-site back up (tailscale-syncthing), but their photo and media services are independent from mine. I just back up their important data, and they return the favour, but we can’t access or share anything.

    Guides like yours are great for showing what’s possible. I often find myself not knowing what I don’t know so don’t really know where to start learning what I need to learn.


  • What a write up, thank you for documenting this.

    I understand a lot of people in this hobby do it professionally too, so a lot is assumed to be common knowledge us outsiders just don’t have.

    While my system of using tailscale’s magic dns to use lxc:port works fine for my fiancée and I, expanding this a family wide system would prove challenging.

    So this guide is next step. I could send my fiancée to <home.domain.xyz> and it’ll take her to homarr, or <jellyseerr.domain.xyz>

    The ultimate dream would be to give family members a pi zero and a <home.domain.xyz> and then run a family jellyfin/immich.










  • How many desert island discs do I get? I’ll do three lesser known ones

    Make it all show - Skating Polly. I love the vocal styles, not sure I’d reccommend the band (I do have tickets this year though)

    Masters of reality - Masters of reality. Not so much a band as a producer pulling talent and doing odd projects. Not a track on this I don’t sing along to though… especially the instrumentals.

    Rakshak - Bloodywood. Sometimes I need flute solos in my life, sometimes I need someone to aggressively tell me that shit is going to be ok.

    3 more known ones.

    Dummy - Portishead. Original pirate material - The streets. New levels new devils - Polyphia




  • As a beginner in self hosting I like plugging the random commands I find online into a llm. I ask it what the command does, what I’m trying to achieve and if it would work…

    It acts like a mentor, I don’t trust what it says entirely so I’m constantly sanity checking it, but it gets me to where I want to go with some back and forth. I’m doing some of the problem solving, so there’s that exercise, it also teaches me what commands do and how the flags alter it. It’s also there to stop me making really stupid mistakes that I would have learned the hard way without.

    Last project was adding a HDD to my zpool as a mirror. I found the “attach” command online with a bunch of flags. I made what I thought was my solution and asked chatgpt. It corrected some stuff: I didn’t include the name of my zpool. Then gave me a procedure to do it properly.

    In that procedure I noticed an inconsistency in how I was naming drives vs how my zpool was naming drives. Asked chat gpt again, I was told I was a dumbass, if thats the naming convention I should probably use that one instead of mine (I was using /dev/sbc and the zpool was using /dev/disk/by-id/). It told me why the zpool might have been configured that way so that was a teaching moment, I’m using usb drives and the zpool wants to protect itself if the setup gets switched around. I clarified the names and rewrote the command, not really chatgpt was constantly updating the command as we went… Boom I have mirrored my drives, I’ve made all my stupid mistakes in private and away from production, life is good.



  • A good general suggestion. The WAF I follow are ‘reasonable’ expense, reasonable form factor, and a physical investment. I floated the idea of a VPS and that’s when I learned of the third criteria. It is what it is.

    I just started on this 8tb HDD so it isn’t very full right now, I could raise the ratio limits. But, I worry about filling the HDD and part of me worries about 100s of torrents on an n100 doing other things. So I’m keeping the habit from my pi4+1TB days of deleting media behind us and keeping the torrent count low.

    I justify it as self managing though: popular Isos are on then off my harddrive fairly quickly, but the ones that need me will sit and wait until they hit the ratio of 3 however long that is. I would like to do “3 + (get that last seeder to 100%)” but I don’t know how/if it’s possible to automate through prowlarr.
