Comment on Self hosting Sunday! What's up and how long?

It’s been fairly smooth lately, knock on wood!
My Valheim server that is set up for friends and family had some issues, but nothing in the logs so I assume it was a weird network issue that solved itself.
I also battled some problems with the Jellyfin temp/transcode folder ballooning in size, causing the whole server to crash as I hadn’t dedicated enough space to the container. Considered making a script to clear the folder at even intervals, but it would cock up streaming if the missus was watching while the purge happened.
Ended up just giving it 100 GB and let the daily clear be enough.
It ended up being the missus’ tablet suddenly requesting transcode of everything but H264, so I’m quietly hinting that she is due an upgrade anyways…
Next project planned: Caddy (I’ve been saying that for 6 months…)

Isnt there a schedules task to clean the transcode dir?
If I remember correctly that it exists, might be worth to increase the frequency insted

You are right, there is a checkbox, but no way to adjust the interval AFAIK.
It seems to be a daily occurrence, which is fine when I just adjusted the container size.
I’m going to be more weary of buying devices without H265/AV1 in the future, which is what I grab mostly. That should remove the need for transcoding completely anyways.

Have you tried clicking on the task?
Just checked my server and I could adjust the frequency as I pleaseImage

I obviously need to have another look when I get home!
The issue started on 10.10, but I haven’t looked into it after upgrading.
Thanks for taking the time, Freund!
