- Comment on Beginner looking for advice on open-source NAS hardware and OS for self-hosting 4 hours ago:
Yunohost is installed on top of Debian with some scripts. Afterwards, you have a web interface where you install “apps” through their “store” (nothing costs money, they just have to be packaged in a compatible way). All the nginx config is handled for you.

Just want to give an alternative to Docker here: Yunohost. It’s very easy to setup and use, and while it doesn’t have the infinite number of “apps” that Docker makes available, it has served me very well. The project is also based in Europe :)

Yeah I loved popcorn time. I’m looking into Stremio, and I’m already down a rabbit-hole of add-ons, debrid providers, and reading between the lines. Doesn’t seem like anything I can recommend to nontechnical folks.

I’m stoked on my Jellyfin setup, but I’ll check on Stremio again in case I want to recommend it to anyone. Never heard of Nuvio, but at a glance it seems like you have to connect it to a media library.

How do you restore on day 11, 12 or 13 if you only keep 10 days?
- Comment on Someone on Torrent Sites Kept Fucking With My Sonarr 5 days ago:
I disagree. I have some private trackers, but I never use 'em anymore, mostly due to ratio requirements. I just don’t have the space on my local drive to hold and seed all those files forever. Spending a bit of time on your initial *arr configs, means everything just works, even using all public trackers. I can’t remember the last time my system grabbed a wrong/bad file. Been dialed in for years at this point.
- Comment on How do you monitor your servers? 1 week ago:
Backups are pretty much the only thing I get notifications for. Otherwise, one app or another on my phone will complain if it loses connection to my server.

- Comment on When a friend starts watching a movie you love on Plex but stops 30 minutes in 2 weeks ago:
I also provide this type of thing for friends and family for free (because I love them), and because payment would make me feel obligated beyond what I feel like doing. It sounds like you’ve made them aware, which is good. I also tell my friends that I can see what they watch, but that I don’t. You do you, but your meme suggested something unhealthy to me.
- Comment on When a friend starts watching a movie you love on Plex but stops 30 minutes in 2 weeks ago:
Don’t spy on your users. Sure, you’ll happen to see something once in awhile or when troubleshooting, but don’t go looking. It’s bad for you and for them.

Ahh, OK I see. I don’t know why I didn’t realize that before.

Do your apps complain about SSL certs?
- Comment on What is your cloud backup solution? 1 month ago:
Running server backs up to two local disks which can each hold 2 days at a time, but they both hold the same 2 days. Every night the most recent backup is uploaded offsite where is stored versions in a normal scheme.

Looks really cool. I’ve been using own tracks with Nextcloud, but it’s not very reliable, especially with my wife’s iPhone. Unfortunately for me, Reitti hasn’t been packaged for Yunohost yet, but I will keep an eye on it!
- Comment on Do you participate in this hobby without a formal IT education or a career in a 2 months ago:
I got into Linux while earning a degree in social sciences. That led to self-hosting, which later led me to a job in IT.
- Comment on Ways to Expose Services Publicly 2 months ago:
The way that I handled this, was to get a $5 VPS, and have it proxy all my traffic over wireguard. Your DNS records (and SSL cert) all point to the VPS public IP address. IPtables rules route all relevant traffic.

Is the server at your house? Or VPS?
- Comment on SMART data on some old drives, can anyone beat my powered-on times? 2 months ago:
I don’t understand this whole thing about years of uptime. Don’t you ever get system/security/kernel updates that require a reboot?

Sounds rad. Can’t wait to try it out.

I set mine up with Debian and Swizzin community edition.

I can think of few things more boring than databases. I just want my files synced and stored.
