VLC for files in local storage.

Tempus for streaming / downloading the rest from my Navidrome instance.

In the laptop, I tried Supersonic to stream music from my server, but for some odd reason it audibly degraded sound quality, so I ditched it. I have since been using my browser. I might try it again, though, and see if the issue has been fixed.

This right here. Nextcloud is also great for syncing your address book via CardDAV, even allowing for a shared contacts list with your significant other for contacts you both need to access.

I’ve started working on something very similar ( Client -> Wireguard -> homeserver -> Mullvad -> Internet), but didn’t get too far and saved the project for later. IIRC, I had issues defining more clearly in the post-up / post-down hooks which traffic was supposed to go where. Upon bringing up the tunnel to Mullvad, I’d lose SSH access instantaneously. I’ll watch this thread closely and contribute once I get around to tackle the issue sometime this summer.

There’s plenty of valuable data to be hoarded for rainy days: Wikipedia and climate science data are the first that come to mind.

Apologies for being imprecise on terminology. I meant the latter, per service.

And when the slopocalypse and technofascism have blown over, we crawl out of our digital bunkers and repopulate the wastelands of cyberspace with… stock images of Hide the Pain Harold? I love it! 😄 Although I could think of more valuable data to hoard for that event.

//Edit: terminology improvements

One per service. Not just because it’s easy, but because it allows you to minimise blast radius. If you’re running one DB DBMS per container service and one container gets compromised, only that one DB DBMS is compromised. With one centralised DB DBMS for all containers, a breach of one container means access to the data of all containers that use this without the need for any lateral movement.

That’s awesome! But… why?

You must have the tiniest of sofas inside the tiniest of living rooms to be disturbed by a simple laptop. But to each their own, I guess.

Mine regularly gets shut down by my skill level. 🤦‍♂️

Welcome back from the coma, grandpa! We stopped calling computers “mainframes” a good while ago and started shrinking them so they’d comfortably fit behind a TV screen, in a drawer or some place else that’s out of sight. You’ll be amazed once you see it all…

This is the way. It’s a local application though, but then again, I don’t see why you’d want to server-host this in the first place. Sync the database via Syncthing or Nextcloud and you’re good to go.

Wow, this went smooth! Just upgraded to 8 without issue! And I’ve done a ton of modifications on my system… Even pulled an image with Clonezilla just to be in the safe side. Very well done on OMV’s part! 👏

You da real MVP mate! I’m still on 7 and completely missed this. Will go for Proxmox soon, but until I get round to it, I’ll have to get this done.

would be a constant game of cat kitty and mouse.

Come on, it was right there!

You need to try an American accent.

Not really the same issue. The xkcd is about unsolved or incompletely resolved issues. This Herr is about questions vanishing along with the answers.

You don’t say. My autocorrect had a mind of its own again. Fixed it.

Oops. I tried it in the past and just linked to quickly without taking a close look at the repo. I’ve updated the above posting. Thanks for pointing this out.

There’s a plugin for that. Plugin is archived and will become outdated (and unsafe to use) over time. Don’t use it.
