Hello everybody! I just learned that I can get a free .eu.org domain, but I'm not sure I understand the domain creation process. Any of you has one?

I'm unsure what should I write in the "name server" section:

Hello! I'm trying to sign up to itatorrent.xyz but after typing username, mail and password, I get a "capcha error". Do any of you managed to sign up?

Hello fellow selfhosters! I reformatted my USB hard drive from exFAT to XFS because I needed a filesystem that could handle hardlinks. I remounted the hard drive and now jellyfin webUI has a severe stuttering problem on some videos, all of them are MKV but it may be a coincidence. On android (using exoplayer) the same files works smoothly. what could be the problem?
in the logs I get a bunch of Slow HTTP Response from http://fedoraserver:8096/ to 192.168.1.30 in 0:00:07.4635856 with Status Code 200

OT: while looking at the logs this happened

SOLUTION: I enabled hardware acceleration, and manually selected also the HEVC and Allow encoding in HEVC format settings, and now the stutter disappeared! thanks to everyone for your help!!!

I have no idea what's going on. my server once run fedora, and its hostname was fedoraserver. I recently installed AlmaLinux, and now its hostname is tserver. today I was looking at the logs of jellyfin and... Slow HTTP Response from http://fedoraserver:8096

WTF!!!!! It's like I saw a ghost. do any of you know what's going on?

even more strange:

I'm... I'm scared

Hello! I set up jellyfin+sonarr+radarr+prowlarr+qbittorrent in my home server, and it all works well. the only problem is that I'm storing my files on a usb HDD with exFAT filesystem, and it does not support (AFAIK) hardlinks. due to this, sonarr/radarr are copying the files from the download folder (on the internal SSD with xfs) to the USB HDD.

1. do I understand correctly what's going on? XD
2. what is your setup or what do you suggest to do to avoid this? Ideally, I would like to download the files on the internal SSD and then move the files to the external HDD, and then hardlink it into the download folder to keep seeding it. If this is not possible, it would also be a good solution to download directly inside the USB drive, and then hardlink it into the jellyfin library.

any tip is greatly welcome! thank in advance fellow pirates!

Hello! I just installed my first system using XFS filesystem, and the xfsdump utility seems interesting. I was following this guide about it, but it does not mention anything about the /media mount point: if I have a USB drive full of files mounted in /media/HDD1 and run

xfsdump -f /data/wholesystem.xfsdump /

will the files on the USB be backupped as well? and what about the /home directory?

Hello fellow selfhosters! I changed my server OS from fedora server to alma linux as I wanted a more stable base with less frequent updates for my docker containers, so I backed everything up and installed almalinux. It all went smoothly, and now all the containers seem to work as before except for nginx proxy manager: on fedora, I set all the proxy hosts like this (using jellyfin for instance): jellyfin.mydomain.duckdns.org > http://myserverhostname:8096 now, for some strange reasons, it does not work anymore, and I get a bad gateway error. I tried with and without SSL (that I had from the previous installation, do I need to regenerate them? but without it should work anyway...), pointing to localhost:8096, to myserverhostname:8096, to jellyfin:8096, but nothing. The only way I could make it work was with the resolved IP address of my server:

# host myserverhostname
myserverhostname.station has address 192.168.1.13

pointing nginx to 192.168.1.13:8096 correctly shows the website. why does this happens? am I doing something wrong?

EDIT: the only one that's working with localhost is nginx itself (http://localhost:81)

======

SOLUTION: instead of myserverhostname, in nginx proxy host configuration (in the gui) I had to set myserverhostname.station to get it working. I don't know why, in the previous installation only the hostname was enough...

Do I need to click on the X here? it says "Are you sure you want to delete the root folder '/downloads'?" so I'm a bit scared, it will not remove the actual folder and its content right?

Edit: I created a dummy folder and added and removed it and no file were touched! Thanks to everyone!

Hello! I have a free account at hide.me and would like to try to use it with my docker compose containers. The free plan does not give me the keys for openVPN of Wireguard configuration, but only through the official client. I'd like then to create a docker container that runs the official hide.me client inside, and exposes it to other docker containers (like gluetun does, for instance). I'd also like to implement a killswitch or something like that to prevent ip leakage. Is this something easy-medium hard or something very complex? I already have a script that installs and runs the client to enable vpn that should be run at startup, but I miss the "expose the network interface" and the "do not expose it if not connected" (this last part I think is pretty easy with a basic firewall configuration)

any tips/something already done?
thanks in advance!

EDIT: probably crazy idea, but would it be possible to do this in gluetun?

it says "Remember that it's not possible to play films on GNU/Linux, but only on other compatible devices"... ahh what a wild world we live in

Hello! I recently set up my first home server, and would like to set up qbittorrent on it. I tried using protonVPN, which is what I use on desktop, but got rate limited because torrenting on the free plan is not allowed. What do you think of hide.me vpn? it has a CLI linux version, I think I can install it inside the docker container and set up a killswitch (that should be built in? at least that's what they say) to torrent safely.

I know paid VPNs are better and also pretty cheap, but I cannot afford one right now. Any tips?
