What are you doing step-LAN?
What are you doing step-LAN?
Jellyfin was my go to as well. It was really nice to play with and finamp was as well. Once setup it was just as easy and nice to use as Spotify without all the ads and Spotify randomly playing songs after i finish a podcast episode.
If you dont need the drive to be fast and want best bang for your buck storage capacity, HDD is the way to go.
If you want speed and are ok with a higher price, SSD is best. Used enterprise HDD are usually a good value. Im in the US so not sure about where to purchase exactly.
Something to consider is if the drive you are storing the os and files on are the same, using am HDD will make it slower on start up.
Ah ok, thats pretty cool. I dont do much torrenting anymore cause my internet is not only limited but is kinda slow and unsteady.
Might check that out once im back in civilization with a decent connection. I miss gigabit speeds man.
Yea the real fun is always the set up when selfhosting. Then you look for the next project lol.
Im not familiar with gluetun, is that what you’re using to download tracks or something?
I personally really liked using jellyfin and finamp. Both were pretty great once i figured out how to set it up lol.
The issues i had were due to my lack of knowledge and trying to set things up to use it outside of my home network. Jellyfin itself was great as was finamp when i used them.
Oh so its not just me who thinks its gotten worse then. I was starting to go a little crazy man. It seems like its slowly gottwn worse over time. I wonder if its due to the amount of ai content messing up seo ratings or something
From what I’ve heard, most people that are for in office work like having the separation between work and home.
That being said, I think most folks want remote work or at least remote hybrid. It just makes more sense especially for me. I live far from my office (140 mile drive roundtrip), and working 3 days a week from home has been a god send.
Well now im very jealous lol. Good for you man, thats a banger deal.
88 x 8TB drives? 704 TB of storage?
You got a whole damn data center lol. Good stuff dude. Was this off of ebay or direct from a company? I’m curious to know the total cost.
I know 3 different people that are on the spectrum and while they do experience life differently and face different and or unique challenges, yes, absolutely you can live a normal fulfilling life.
Like with any mental health condition, it can make things that are everyday or normal for most folks more difficult so its important to not only seek guidance from a mental health professional but also have a good support structure. People you can count on to help you when you need it.
Everyone is a little different of course so finding the right fit for each can be kinda hard but all 3 people i know are happy, healthy, and are living a good life.
Everyone is weird anyways. I know plenty of neruotypical people that do weird stuff. Humans are weird by nature so what “normal” is to one person might be “weird” to another.
Fair point. My company keeps drives that get taken out of servers for office use. After that theyre recycled.
Damn thats cool! My work doesnt let me take drives old drives. Though we dont use sas drives so that might be why.
I certainly dont mind used drives for mass storage. I was planning to do some kinda raid anyways.
I haven’t gotten any kind of nas setup yet. Trying to avoid buying too much lol but good to know other folks are using sas drives too.
No use for them you say 🤔
I was actually just looking at buying some sas spinning drives for a nas. Found a seller on Amazon thats unfortunately gone before i could buy em but it was a pretty good deal. Where do you buy yours from?
ATnT should be able to tell you for sure. I remember reading about another person facing a cgnat using ATnT on reddit while i still went there so it very well could be.
And fairly easy setup yea. I did mine using a windows pc for testing as i was kinda in between places at the time and thats what i ended up using for jellyfin as well. Just lives on my media pc at the moment. The docs are pretty straight forward.
I recommend that or zero tier which is even more dead simple. Both are good but cloudflare does care about how much bandwidth you’re using so just bear that in mind if you think you’ll use the server for anything else.
Both are vpn tunnels so either should work just fine.

Self hosting can get pretty overwhelming but i find that using docs in addition to youtube videos helps a lot. I also recommend giving Linux a go when you feel up to it. It can be a very nice option if you’re working with older hardware.
I’m not super familiar with docker so im sorry im not much help there but i noticed that you mentioned a ATnT router. Are you using them as an Internet provider?
If so, you might have a carrier grade nat which makes reverse proxy like this not possible even if you do get caddy server working. I had a similar situation with my jellyfin server.
I had caddy server working but when i moved and started using a mobile internet provider, i had to use a vpn tunnel like cloudflare or zerotier to get around it.
All this to say, id recommend finding that out so if that is the case you dont spend anymore time on caddy.
Good luck either way.
The more you know! Do you know any guides that go over this? I’d be interested in setting this up.
Edit:
Its apart of thier docs. https://tailscale.com/kb/1019/subnets?q=subnet
That i can’t say. Id imagine no at least on android.
If you dont mind the extra setup, cloudflare tunnels are awesome. https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/
I prefer this over tailscale as i dont want to have an app i need to access my server.
I started off with pi hole when i started messing around with an old laptop for self hosting. My advice is setup what you think is useful.
To access the server outside your home, tailscale is a great option. Fairly simple to setup especially if its just you accessing the server.
Reverse proxy would be best if you intend to let others acess your servers services often or if you dont wanna mess with tunnels. I settled on cloudflare tunnels because i didn’t want another thing to turn on to acess my server outside my house.
When I didn’t have a carrier grade nat to deal with, i used caddy server for automatically getting ssl certs from lets encrypt and reverse proxy all in one. I really liked that once i got it setup.
I tried umbrel and wasnt super impressed. It seemed like it would function alright for the small amount of things i was trying to do but broke shortly after installing. I set up pihole and i think jellyfin since i was just testing it out on an older laptop.
I’ve heard decent things about CasaOS but have not used it myself.
