I’ve only been playing with it today, but I reckon Azuracast ought to tick all of your boxes.
I’ve pointed it at the drive that holds my Navidrome library. Once it’s finished sorting through all 14,500 tracks, I can then sort them all into various different playlists to do more or less the same as you’re looking to do.
- Comment on What's your weirdest or most unique self-hosted use case and solution? 1 week ago:
Just today I installed Azuracast on my server, pointed it at my Navidrome library, and now I have my own radio station. Once it’s all configured I’ll hook into it from my laptop for my weekly show using Icecast, which I’m really forward to doing. Because I’m cool.

For me it’s the constant notifications I get from DAVx5 telling me that it can’t connect to my Nextcloud server.
- Comment on Hardware price surge drives student demand for refurbished laptops 2 weeks ago:
My company recently switched out all of it’s older Dell for newer ones that are capable of running Win11 (because existence is pain). As a result, I now have three Dell micro PCs two of which are on DDR4, one is DDR3. All of which cost me nothing.
I’ve already put Proxmox and OpenWRT on one and shitcanned the crappy Linksys my ISP gave me, and am about to put another into service as my home server. The third one has yet to reveal its use to me, but it’ll come.
I currently have eight computers of various specs, sizes and configurations, and am happy to rehouse a bunch more.

Excellent, thanks!

I was just wondering if I could point it to folders that already exist on my server. In particular, my Syncthing folder.

Owncloud is very handy for sending things to people in a pinch. I have it running in Yunohost on my VPS.

This comment led me to investigating copyparty for myself. It looks good.
Do you know if you can specify existing folders?
- Comment on Expanding my laptops HDD capacity 1 month ago:
I’ve been pondering doing this to a broken iMac I’ve got.
It got donated to me by someone who needed to thin out his studio a bit, so it didn’t cost me a penny. But I took the screen off to give it a clean out and repaste, apparently didn’t tape it in place securely enough as a temporary measure, so the screen fell off. And smashed.
I did some swearing.
However, it’s still a surprisingly handy spec. 3.5ghz i5, 24gb RAM and a Radeon GPU. So I’ve been wondering about pulling the guts and turning it into a desktop, then making it my home server to replace the 2014 Mac mini I currently use.
ponderings intensify

My home server is 100% up, because I never check it and that’s how it works, right?

Being unaware of pinchflat, I kinda ended up making my own.
Started off with a little app, the entirety of which was a button that, when pressed, took the link om my clipboard and downloaded the video into my Jellyfin folder. Then I got tired of having to keep it all updated across several different computers I use, so I turned it into something that runs in a docker container on my home server, that I can access through anything in my tailnet. Works beautifully.

This is the result of dmidecode

Bus Address: 0000:ff:00.0As far as I can tell, the top one is the M.2 in question, so it’s a 4 channel PCIe slot. Running -t connector doesn’t show that slot at all, presumably because it’s not got anything connected to it currently.
I’ve order a cheap(ish) adapter that should arrive today, so I’ll bung it in and report back.

I’m guessing the top one is the M.2 in question, on account of it saying “Available”. And from what I understand having searched for some of the info on that, it should work, assuming the firmware allows for it.

So the currently unused slot won’t work with an ethernet adapter? It’s purely for storage?
