For music, Navidrome is superior. It is just crazy how easy it is to set this stuff up nowadays. I run both Navidrome and Jellyfin in docker containers. Then I use NordVPN Meshnet to securely connect to them outside of the home. The experience is absolutely flawless. In Navidrome you can host an entire FLAC library and then transcode to Opus on the fly. It's been over a year now and I have pretty much no issues whats…

+1 for Navidrome, I self host both jellyfin and Navidrome. Navidrome wins hands down for music. With Jellyfin it's harder to categorize and then search, Navidrome provides a great experience out of the box.

I'm sold, thank you will install it.

Personally I switched Navidrome since I found the clients to be better and the scanner to be lighter, but there's a few things I miss: casting was nice, as well as centralizing my media on one everything-app.

I use Navidrome with Feishin as a client on PC and Symfonium on my phone. Symfonium allows me to cast in the same way as Spotify. Symfonium is paid but appears to be one of the rare apps that is still thoughtfully created by somebody who actually uses it. The developer deserves the support.

Have you tried SuperSonic? I found it better then Feishin

Unraid doesn't use raid4. The both of you,stop making things up.

https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/overview/nas/ Having parity on a one or more separate disks is one of the hallmarks of RAID4, and as such the comparison conceptually makes sense even if it's not literally RAID4. The actual state of their data protection is actually worse due to data not being striped across the data drives, reducing I/O, causing balancing issues, limiting large file sizes, and increasing risk of da…

The sum of your arguments are basically "unraid doesn't do a particular thing I like using Cli tools" then make a bunch of self contradictory claims of what those things are. Then you double down in your made up arguments. This is just bad faith trolling behavior unwelcome here on HN.

I'm flagging you both.

I am not surprised he doesn't know. Most of the unraid users are completely clueless and are UI junkies with no understanding of what the underlying services they use

As I told your possible sock puppet, this kind of bad faith trolling behavior has no place on HN. I've flagged you both.

Radio Paradise is a great alternative to FIP. https://radioparadise.com

Both are classics. I like SomaFM-GrooveSalad too. Oh and BBC6, or course. [The podcast of Guy Garvey is an absolut must, in my sunday schedule]

Check out Runtipi, CasaOS, Cosmos, and yunohost for free alternatives to Cloudron.

Ah, I felt something like that must exist, thanks for the pointers.

I'm using Cloudron for 1.5 years and currently trying Yunohost and Coolify to try alternatives. But I gave up on Yunohost which felt too buggy and required too much workarounds and troubleshooting. I feel Coolify might be best for my needs but it's really for devs. Cloudron spoiled me so much everything else looks half baked.

I ran my own seedbox for close to 12 years on a VPS. My choice was either never upgrading the OS (which was always an Ubuntu server) or setting up everything all over again. There were few more things like a VPN, a note app at one point, 2fa setup and so on. Finally I stopped and this Nov the VPN will expire and I am planning to let it go really. I see where you are coming from but all that experience really tired me…

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but it sounds like your problems with your VPS and VPN come from having someone else hosting those services for you and restricting how you can use them instead of just doing them yourself. Things are indeed much more permanent (at least as much as you want them to be) when you actually do them yourself instead of rent them from someone. > Would you mind sharing a tutorial if you’ve sa…

No, I had and have full control of the VPS. But whenever I upgrade it becomes a mess. I am sure I am missing something and I can backup data and then set everything again, reconnect all the wires and pipes but after a few times I just gave up completely. Hell even security updates in LTS break things up. I did try exploring and learn how to maintain it well and what not but eventually I gave up and it was a big reason why I get fatigued even at the thought of self-hosting something.

Thanks for your input on this. Next time I get into it I will definitely look at it and you are right about needing resources as much is my usage need. I just meant to ask what are the bare minimums sort of.

Love JellyFin! I do not mind the jankiness, since I can work around a lot of it with the API. I do not even mind too much the Love Exposure bug: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/10494

This is hilarious. The most probable explanation is that it's matching the tvshow part, but a repro would be interesting.

I have a hard time conceiving of what it could be.

Most users report it is the film whose artwork is used (definitely always was for me). One user mentions they get the art from "Love Exposure: The TV Show".

One of these days I am going to spin up a VM and try and work through a report case.

This article fails to mention the absolute butchering of features that takes place moving from a typical music streaming subscription to a self hosted Jellyfin library. A large part of my listening on YouTube Music is going to a particular song or band I like and clicking "Radio", which generates a playlist of similar sounding songs. You can then fine tune it with a filter i.e "Popular songs, deep cuts" or specific e…

I would have agreed with you 3 years ago. But now not so much. Spotify "Radio" feature just tends to want to give me music I've already listened to over new music. Whatever algorithm they are using has waaaay overfit to what I have already liked. There used to be curated playlists done by humans, now almost everything is "made for you by Spotify" playlists which, have the exact same issue as the radio stations, sudde…

Yeah I have no idea why music recommendation algorithms have gotten so bad. Rdio had the pinnacle of music recommendations in 2013. I wonder what happened to that tech after they shut down in 2015, and why no one has been able to reproduce it.
