Eh, I’d take their recommendation with a grain of salt. They’re likely targeting worst case. Like a university with thousands of users. If you say put proxmox on the laptop, connect your nas as storage, then run the db vm/container with it’s storage as the nas, I doubt you’d see any issues. You might notice a bit more latency and slowness, but I doubt any data loss. This setup is how I run all my VMs for years, some of the VMs have databases. Zero issues.

Ah, nice.

Ohhhhhh, that looks like a better option. Interesting an rf remote control? Hmmmmm I wonder if that’ll work with my sofabaton universal remote.

Hmmmm good to know. I’m sure the N100 models could handle it fine. Still tempting to pick up one of the cheap ones to play with. Kind of like a raspberry pi.

I’ve been looking into these PCs as a replacement roku box since responding to the thread. I have a shield, and its fine, but I don’t think it’s worth the price. It’s glitchy and the 3rd party launcher sometimes flips out. It also keeps wanting me to up the refresh rate, but whenever I do, it breaks. My TV doesn’t like it despite it being supported.

Interesting, I assume lmde would be comparable to a say fedora based plasma bigscreen install resource wise. It’s not like you were using a super lightweight distro. I’m actually surprised the plasma bigscreen devs haven’t made a super light weight install guide based off alpine or a pared down debian or arch for lowend hardware like OP is asking about.

Interesting, did you have windows on it, or did you throw a real OS on it? If so, what distro/DE?

Yea, with a full pc setup and OS I don’t think you’ll have a problem with watching media. Even if hardware isn’t available for your cpu (unlikely) software will be. In the jellyfin client you can change your player to vlc if you have any issues playing video.

To also answer the transcoding issue, Jellyfin should be ablento handle it. I have had issues where the client thinks it can play a media stream so the server serves it, but the client fails to play it. I usually either download a different file or manually transcode it to a different filetype that I know the client can play. I wouldn’t think a celeron processor would have issues playing media. Those issues were on like firetv or roku embedded system boxes, not full pcs.

I found this one on amazon

it advertises linux compatibility. So, I’d agree with you, installing shouldn’t be a problem. I’ve heard about a project called Plasma Bigscreen, might be exactly what you’re looking for. I’ve also heard flir remotes work pretty will with linux tv boxes. Those plug pcs have usb slots, you might want to figure out if you need an extension cable so the ir can reach the dongle.

I have audio recording/listening working with frigate, but not any talking back through the doorbell. Which makes sense since it’s an rtsp stream from the doorbell. In order to be able to talk out of the camera you’d have to expose internal apis which many doorbells don’t do.

Good to hear brother, stay safe.

Rawdogging the internet is a great way to catch a disease.

Not suuuuuper patient, but I’m enjoying Project Wingman. Love playing on my steam deck. Had to scratch that dogfighting itch after finishing ace combat 6 earlier this year. And it’ll be a while before ace combat 7 has been out long enough for me to buy it for a decent price.

Exactly this.

One thing you may want to explore is your OS. If you want to do what you suggested with a NAS OS like TrueNAS or Unraid. They can take advantage of a ssd cache. One small regular ssd for your OS, storage on your hdd array, and a NAS quality ssd that essentially runs your docker containers that gets backed up to your array.

It’s not nessesary. But if it’s something you think you might want to do in the future, you’ll want a plan for it now. Make sure you have enough mobo connections, and space in your case or an idea on how you would want to expand.

Wait, we’re putting stickers in the case now?

It likely also needs an ip address range to determine what is “local” for you. Is it 192.168.1.0\24, 10.0.0.0\24 or something else. Unsure what that flag would be though for slskd.

Depends, you can set it up a few different ways.

1. you can set the dns so each subdomain resolves to a different port with your ip, in which case your router can forward that port to any local address on your network.

2. reverse proxy, this is most common. You use a service to do the translating for you. Your router forwards all requests on port 80 and 443 to your reverse proxy. The reverse proxy takes requests for subdomain1 and forwards it to the associated ip/port locally.
