Yeah, will not work for everything. Things with actual phone/TV apps generally dont like it. That being said, it still helps for a large swath of my setup

I’ve had good success spinning up an authentik instance, and having my reverse proxy hit it first before it routes to the actual app. Puts another security layer in front in case sonarr itself has an issue, for ex.

Caddy snippet ` handle {$host} { route { # always forward outpost path to actual outpost reverse_proxy /outpost.goauthentik.io/* authentik-server-1:9000

		# forward authentication to outpost
		forward_auth authentik-server-1:9000 {
			uri /outpost.goauthentik.io/auth/caddy

			# capitalization of the headers is important, otherwise they will be empty
			copy_headers X-Authentik-Username X-Authentik-Groups X-Authentik-Entitlements X-Authentik-Email X-Authentik-Name X-Authentik-Uid X-Authentik-Jwt X-Authentik-Meta-Jwks X-Authentik-Meta-Outpost X-Authentik-Meta-Provider X-Authentik-Meta-App X-Authentik-Meta-Version
		}
		
		reverse_proxy {this_host_or_ip}:{this_port}
	}

} `

Works for 70% of apps. Nice to slap on when you can

• havent figured out how to rate well when driving. Definitely a PITA.
• i considered skipped counts a bit, but ultimately felt it would end up hiding songs that were good but required me to be in a specific mood to appreciate. I wanted to be the judge of if something was good and feel free to skip good things when I felt like it.
• another thing my suite was missing was the new music discovery story. Made a personal app myself to fill that gap, but would love to see a more robust community solution someday. Maybe ill give it a proper dev pass someday and publish

Star ratings and smart playlists! Oh my! I love this stuff. Im currently using plex, which allows for half stars since im a masochist

I dont know that I need the full ten options, but 5 wasn’t quite enough for me. If there was like 7 star system id do that, hah.

0.5 - I would delete if other people weren’t listening to the library. Never play again 1 - on my shitlist. Unless something changes, will probably go to 0.5 stars the next time I hear it. 1.5 to 2 - Not opposed, but forgettable or slightly not my style 2.5 - average content. Not memorable but fine 3 - solid content, still not memorable 3.5 - the good stuff. I’ll put it on a car ride and generally not skip myself 4 - Amazing songs. If I was to put a Playlist on for people and not worry about it 4.5 - Favorite songs. that will stay with me for a lifetime. Maybe a fault or two that might keep me from labeling it perfection, but still perfect to me. 5 - Id play these for anyone without hesitation and then look at them and say “was that not perfection?!”

For smart playlists, I got the typicals:

• playlists by star rating
  • alts for excluding facemelting stuff to play in public
• Car ride - 3.5 stars and up + havent heard in a month
• "Frontier" playlist. Only play things i havent heard in a year

I generally listen to my frontier Playlist and try to rate as I go. Other playlists for when im listening but busy and just want the good stuff.
