This is the setup I’ve been built so far:

I use KonstaKang’s LineageOS Android TV build running on a pi 5: konstakang.com/devices/rpi5/LineageOS23-ATV/

No Google play services store at all, I just use ADB to install apps

This is the launcher I use, it’s way nicer than the stock Lineage one: github.com/meddouribadis/arclauncher/

I use SmartTube as my YouTube client: github.com/yuliskov/smarttube/

I have this Bluetooth remote app on my phone for the rare occasion I need to type a password or something: f-droid.org/packages/io.github.jqssun.btremote

I also have KDE Connect on both my phone and TV so I can play/pause media from my phone at any time and send files (like new launcher wallpapers) easily without adb.

I found some usb to sata power cables on Aliexpress. They can be a bit difficult to come across because there a so many usb to combined sata data/power connectors out there. I like your solution better, I was planning on buying a powered usb hub when I got more drives

I actually have a similar setup that started out just as janky!

This is an HP mini PC I found on Ebay, with an m.2 to 6x sata adapter, hole dremmeled through the top of the case with a custom printed I/o shield to stop the cables or my fingers getting sliced on the metal.

After about 2 years of it sitting in my cupboard (like the first pic), I decided to print myself a LabRax case for everything and make it cleaner, still the same setup inside though!

Before: Image

After: Image

So I actually have a setup similar to this, but with a mini pc (m.2 to 6x sata adapter, each one connected to a 4tb ssd - well eventually, only 2 are populated currently) and I did use a dremmel to cut through the metal top of the case and it was still a horrible sharp mess, even after I tried sanding it down. I ended up 3d printing a custom i/o shield to stop my cables (or fingers) getting sliced on it and that actually works really well!

There is an ATV LineageOS image available for the 2021 Onn for anyone who wants to go that route wiki.lineageos.org/devices/dopinder/

I personally do have a degree in computer science, but I feel like I would be doing this anyway, even if I didn’t. My degree didn’t teach me how to self host

No, you can use your own account if you like but the “default” usage is to log in anonymously

Sorry, I’m confused here, why do you need to make a Google account?

I wouldn’t have minded using their app instead, but I don’t have the Play Store on my phone (I’m on GOS)

Any reason why you aren’t just using the Aurora store?

Thank you for your work on this project!

The DSi had a built-in browser, the DS and DS Lite require a game card plus a memory expansion pack to use a browser. Even at the time, website support was spotty at best so I dread to think how a browser based on Opera 8.5 from 2006 would work on the modern web

Wait, that’s actually a very good point. I didn’t think of that!

On my homelab I don’t mind so much as I have 64gb of ram and and 8tb of storage, but on my vps I want everything to be relatively lightweight

I already have it up and running! They have a good docker-compose example on their site.

As for monitoring, my approach is to use it and if it works, then there’s nothing to worry about 😅

Thanks, I decided to go with Slink. It looks lightweight enough, easy to set up and while not quite as minimal as I was imagining, that image resize ability when generating shared links could come in useful

I would like the option to be able to upload images from a multitude of devices like my phone or even a university PC if necessary. I don’t want to have to worry about setting up public key access on every device I might reasonably want to use.

I’m a developer and have daily driven Linux for nearly 3 years, so I’m beyond familiar with terminal usage, but scp isn’t exactly what I’d call a pleasent or convenient command. Every time I have to use it my immediate mood is ugh >:( not yippee :)

You might still want to double check its the right version as the degoogled version is also distributed in the github releases alongside the “full” version.

If the package name is `com.eddyizm.degoogled.tempus" it’s the wrong one and won’t be compatible with android auto

I think since Android Auto compatibility requires proprietary Google binaries embedded in the apk, the degoogled version distributed on f-droid (as per f-droid’s terms) isn’t compatible. There’s a “full version” distributed in the github releases if you’re okay with those being included.

You can keep apps from github updated using Obtaining if you like.

Fyi, it’s best not to recommend Tempo these days as it’s no longer maintained. Tempus is the fork of Tempo that’s still receiving regular updates (at a really good pace!)

Thanks for the Chora recommendation, I recently pushed the Tempus apk to my tv as the dev has been working on better landscape screen support, but navigating it on tv still requires a mouse unfortunately.

I’ll definitely give Chora a try when I get home

Not as far as I’m aware. Unless Sonarr/Radarr has the capability to only send a webhook request when a file stops seeding

Are you sure you’re subscribing to the correct feed? ListenBrainz gives two different feeds, one is a “weekly(maybe daily?) Mix” consisting of your own music, and another that is recommendations of music it doesn’t know you have.

Occasionally a song I have slips into the latter because it hasn’t been scrobbled yet, but otherwise the recommendations are reasonably good and I’ll decide to grab maybe 30-50% of them

I think they aim to accomplish different things. Muxarr doesn’t download any new subtitles or audio tracks, only deletes and renames ones already present in the file

Jealous of people with that much storage right now 😅. My setup is small, just an HP mini PC with an m.2 to sata adapter with 2 SSDs in raid0 lol (don’t worry my important stuff is backed up off-site). I have 4 free slots left on the adapter still but this AI bubble needs to burst before I can justify spending money on 4 more drives and setting up a ZFS pool

I use Navidrome on the server side

Tempus on Android (maintained fork of Tempo)

Feishin on desktop

I also recently set up music assistant to try and stream my music to my TV too, although I haven’t used it yet beyond just testing and don’t see myself using it too much

I scrobble my Navidrome up to ListenBrainz too, which then gives weekly recommendations to add to my collection.

Looks like exactly what I need, thanks!
