Hello everyone,

Is there a (metadata) plugin for Jellyfin that manages to create a folder for each movie after metadata has been downloaded and put the movie and subtitle files in that folder?

Best Regards,

Shahram

I had a simple Jellyfin & *arr server running directly on Ubuntu, which I took down to migrate everything to Proxmox.

I set up each software in their own LXCs, and I can access them through their IPs but since Proxmox is awesome, I can see myself hosting much more stuff. I reckon it is now time for me to learn how to access these through a domain.

What are my options? I prefer taking the easy route since I am not very experienced with networking etc. but if there are methods that require some initial tinkering but offer much more overall, I can also go with those.

Hi, I’m planning to make my first server, and I was wondering which cpu would be better: i5-6400 or 2 x Xeon e5540. I want to host plex, nextcloud and photo server (photo prism or Immich). I5 alone is faster, but I don’t know how to compere it with 2 CPUs. Could anyone help? Thanks in advance

Hi folks. As the title says, I am looking to migrate email accounts from fasthosts to our new self-hosted internal mail server. I am not sure how exactly I go about this, fasthosts are helpful in providing information on how to migrate from one hosting provider to fasthosts.

I am not sure if this is even possible though, I know I can just point the necessary records to map to our mail server, but I am not 100% sure on how I actually fully migrate all the user accounts.

Is this something that folk have experience with?

In my institution's department we have several email accounts hosted by institution's headquarter. All my coworkers complain about limited space and some others things. I wonder if there is some easy way to sync those accounts to some local server and then make all coworkers work with locally storaged mails.

Probably need sync accounts through POP3, and then serve it to clients through IMAP or setup some webmail client. SMTP probably is no needed, because can use headquarter's server.

Obviously this solution will need local backups...

What you think about that solution? Any pro and cons?

Hi,

I would like to begin in the self hosting process.

I'm not quite sure a full server would be useful to me, I just need a few email accounts (with alliases), Nextcloud with some apps (to collaborate on Office!), a Drive with 50Go something like that, and it would be perfect I think. Do you have any recommandation ?

Thanks a lot,

Antoine

Hello, I own a raspberry pi 3b that has been taking dust on the side of my shelves and i want to turn it into a media center. I want the raspberry to automatically labels the movies on my external hard drive, and be able to access them from the pi hdmi output. I also wonder if it is possible to add my paid subscription to netflix or disney+ directly on the same media center. Finally, when all of it is setup, will that mean that i can watch any of my movies from any of my computers when it is connected to my network? Thanks in advance, and have a nice day

I currently have a beefy Unraid server, running 20+ dockers with various things, NextCloud being one of them.

I mainly use NextCloud to back up photos from our phones (all Android) and as a Dropbox replacement (Linux and Windows machines). And well ... it's not without hassle. I also have a DSLR and have a lot of photos, for which I have not had time to find a good app to run with.

• The Android app is extremely slow, so I use some other sync app instead where I choose folders manually. That's too complicated for my gf.
• The Linux client has some problems and doesn't sync all my files. I think it's a problem with non-English characters in file names.
• I don't feel comfortable running NextCloud on Unraid, with my very important files, alongside all the other containers. Mainly because of the lack of security in Unraid.

Now I'm thinking of replacing NextCloud with a separate Synology NAS, mostly because I hope it will be less hassle and that I will have my photos and other private stuff separated from the rest of the services on the Unraid box. I want to use it as a Dropbox and Google (docs) replacement, and also be able to handle my DSLR photos. Backup to some cloud service. No other services that I think of now.

• I've read that the new Synology Photos app seems to be great.
• Does Synology work well on Linux? (Windows I assume works great).
• Can I share certain folders between users, like Dropbox?
• Does it keep the folder structure? So when I backup, it has the same structure? (One of the reasons I'm not even considering OwnCloud Infinite.)

Will a Synology NAS make my life easier? Or am I about to throw a lot of money out the window?

I am currently using XAMPP as web server and pagekite as web host in my laptop. Pagekite offers custom subdomain for 31 days. Is there any free alternative to Pagekite which offers subdomain or let's you connect your own domain?

I wrote a program in Go behind a private HTTP API that is hit by Uptime Kuma every 60 seconds. The API invokes a send and receive between 2 different mailboxes to ensure SMTP and IMAP are working correctly against my mailcow instance behind my reverse proxy.

If this fails, I get a notification instantly via self-hosted Ntfy push server, which I'm subscribed to on my phone.

What do you guys do for SMTP/critical services to ensure uptime is good/security not breached.

I've been deep diving some networking/alerting with email all day and wanting to write a couple blog articles about it since I've invested a ton of time and nothing very good exists online outside the Mailcow docs.

I recently moved my self-hosted Vaultwarden to Fly.io to avoid having it down during maintenance in my home server.

But doing so, had some issues: websocket support and automated backups are not as easy in Fly.io.

I've been using this config since earlier this week and now decided to create a template for it.

Hope if can we be helpful for others

I need to send users in the EU to an EU server and users in the US to a US server.

Cloudflare LB is a good option, but I don't want to use a load balancer.

I just want to resolve to an EU server when a request is coming from the EU and a US server when a request is coming from the US.

Or should I use LB? It is more expensive.

Context:

I want to self-host Nextcloud, Bitwarden, a Wordpress site, and eventually, some API servers and DBs.

While it is easy to set them up alone, I get lost when I try to do the whole multi container things. Let alone exposing them to the internet.

Probably I'm drowning in a glass of water here. That's why I ask for help.

I already have my domains. I have a EC2 instance, and also a SBC that I plan on eventually use to replace the EC2 instance.

What is the proper way to set up this?

Do I need to use NGINX/reverse proxy to expose Docker? Or can I do that with Docker by itself?

I wouls like that some services are accessed trough the same domain, different end point. On the other hand, I want the WP site to use a separate domain address.

Please help me. I probably dont know what Im even looking for.

Hi all, I am in need of a solution. I recently moved and transfered my Cox Business Internet. It first took weeks to get a technician out to run a coax. It's been about 2 weeks since the install and I have these random blackouts (mostly at night) where I lose all access to WAN. Does anybody have something linux based that can log the times and dates that I lose my WAN connection?

They keep giving me the runaround saying it's my equipment (surprise, it's not. I checked)

Arris CM8200 -> Ubiquiti Edgerouter configured for 2 LANs.

Original Title: When trying to some opensource projects self-hosting, do you check if they have telemetry tracking enable by default ? if you check, do we have tool just post the repo url to check and receive a analytics result? or how do you check ?

how do I most likely want to configure inbound email inboxes on Mailcow?

I selected "Incoming emails requires TLS" which seemed reasonable and I was receiving emails as expected.

However! I'm requesting a reset password from my BANK and it's not coming through.. I checked rspamd, mailcow, etc. and it wasn't until I reviewed the Postscript logs that I saw "error rejected, ESMTP session encryption required". So I disabled the TLS incoming required and now I can receive the email from my bank.

What do y'all recommend? Seems crazy that my bank would send sensitive reset info without TLS.

Hi All,

So I recently been trying out next cloud on my Proxmox Server with bunch of other resources running on there. Which I gotta say I love next cloud and want to shift it into my everyday usage. However, I also had just got delivered a new raspberry pi 4 8GB. I was wondering should I just switch next cloud to be on its on physical device and use it there my Proxmox has about 2TB storage on a Dell Optiplex micro running. And if I was to do the raspberry pi I’d do like 2, 4TB 3.5” drives…

Let me know your thoughts any suggestions will help..

Anyone trying anything new for HKSV support for cameras? Homebridge support was not good the last time I tried it, and the Scrypted developer seems to have gone off the rails a bit so trying to see if there are any new good alternatives.

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a passion project to make a basic video recording system for my house and I'd like to make it from scratch (as much as I can that is). The goal behind this approach is to learn as much as possible. I don't have a strict deadline when I need to finish it and I'll be updating things as I go.

While I have a couple of years in the software development field, but when it comes to setting up infrastructure and hosting I'm a total noob. With this post I'd like to ask the community how I could get started.

What I (think) I need:

• Security setup
• Some server to host my backend/frontend.
• Some kind of database + video storage solution
• Network setup possibly to be able to view my feeds from anywhere

How would you guys recommend I tackle these things, what are the best practices and potential traps noobies fall into (especially when it comes to security and networking)?

I look forward to your comments and suggestions!

Hi everyone,

I love to self-host my documents(edit in WYSIWYG) - currently in BookStack. I've encountered an issue with it, which is levels of documents. I need more levels than shelf -> book -> chapter -> page.

Do you have any recommendations for alternative system with ability to:

• give privileges per group,

• add SAML/OAuth to it?

I've checked the wiki list but there's so many different options that I've hit paralysis, what are your thoughts? I need it to be cross-platform by the way and it would be cool if it would work when the server was offline (like how a message waits for a phone to be reconnected to the internet, my file could be placed in the proper repository and wait too)
