  • Container vs service

    Jump

  • oh, gotcha. Thanks, and good point. I was thinking of using bind mounts instead of volumes so I can access them easier. That should make backing them up to the NAS easier as well.

  • A few jellyfin via container set up questions

  • Thanks.

    Interesting. I didn't think about performance. I can see how a docker volume would be better optimized. And for a cache that makes sense. I was considering doing a bind mount for the config for easier visibility when debugging things. But keeping the volume for the cache now makes sense... thanks for that.

    I technically work for a company that is in the security space. But I myself just can't really get into it. It seems like there is always so many things that could be done to improve security, but there is never the resources to do most of them in companies. And that would really eat at me. We hire companies to do pen testing. They seem like home inspectors. They have to find a few things to help the customer (us) justify the expense, but once they do, they don't need to look much deeper. And half the things they find will be low/mediums that will never get fixed. And in the end, the only reason companies seem to hire them is so they can advertise that they did, or to meet their customers security requirements. All in all, it just feels so sad. :(

    anyway. If I am following you... you run a custom NAT for your home network? I know my router has one, but sounds like you don't trust the routers? Is that right? And then you run a vpn server on the inside to handle any external access. That seems smart. Is that like common practice, or something you do because of your background?

  • It does help thanks. And part of this set of questions was just me exploring stuff thoughts and looking to learn... so I have a follow up question or two.

    You mention docker volumes make a lot of sense with multiple nodes. How does that work out? We use pv's and such with k8s at work, and the ones we use can only be mounted on one node at a time. From what others have said, allowing many write from multiple nodes has a lot of complications. Do docker volumes handle writing from multiple nodes?

    And... "streaming video isn’t super latency sensitive". I'm super new to streaming video. I would have expected it to be sensitive to latency. I mean you expect the video to keep playing and not stop. Whereas most of the things I work with (api's and what not) can have an extra second or two to respond with little relevant difference. So clearly there is some depth here I don't understand.

  • "or a 6 year old that gets 5 minutes alone with your mouse" haha. I have a 10 year old with a tendency to be inquisitive with electronic devices. He is pure of heart, but we joke that some day the NSA is going to come knocking. He wouldn't hack a bank to get money, he would just be "exploring" what is possible instead of reading directions. lol. Question though. When you do want to delete something. I am guessing you logon to your media server and do it from your user account?

  • And you are using a reverse proxy because you want to expose jellyfin to the general internet? And you don't want to have to trust jellyfin's security (which is very reasonable) ?

    A few jellyfin via container set up questions

  • Container vs service

    Jump

  • What is the role of traefik? I looks like networking software for something more like a k8s cluster with lots of pods going up and down all the time. We use linkerd at my job which seems like it has some overlap. But they both seem like overkill when running on a single node system unless I am missing something.

  • When you say "Backup your docker config folders". Are you talking about the directory were you would store the dockerfile / docker compose file?

    Multiple copies of movies in various directories... is there a reason?

  • hm. Does windows have hard links? I have done them in linux, but not windows myself. But if they were hard links... then deleting one would delete the other no?

  • Budget is really more about value than anything, I have money to spend, but I don't like to overspend or waste. Otherwise there are things I know, and things I don't. :) I do know linux, and some docker. I have built a few pc's over the years. But I don't really keep up with hardware stuff. The idea to have a NUC and a NAS just came from what I was reading as it seemed to be what people do. And the plan was to get a pre-built NAS and a mini pc. That way the whole project doesn't get so big it is overwhelming. The software stuff can be complicated from what I read. But I work in software, and I could use more time with docker and such. I was pricing things out when I got thinking about the connection between them, and thus how many ethernet ports I needed on the minipc. It sounds like people are saying that network speeds through a switch should be more than fast enough. I know this is probably the more expensive route, but I think the total cost may be at least reasonable. The minipc is like $169. Seems like the NAS is like $500. And a few hundred for drives. So maybe under a k. The way prices are these days, that doesn't feel terrible. But I don't really have a scope on costs for hardware.

  • Can you elaborate on why you wouldn't recommend it for someone just starting out?

  • Building out my jellyfin media server question

    Jump

  • Well, mainly it is just what I read in various "guides". But also it sounds easier to assemble... the minipc is just a box, no need to do any hardware stuff. And I think the NAS is pretty much the same. Plus it would allow me to easily start small on space and then add more (I think).

    Also, I think it would be quieter. I assume putting it all in one would mean basically a tower with lots of fans and what not. The minipc is supposed to be pretty quiet. Don't know about the NAS though.

  • Building out my jellyfin media server question

    Jump

  • yeah, I am totally with you. For the media server, I just don't know how much money I want to put into backing it up. For the important stuff. I really wish I knew of an offsite backup that I felt like I could trust. But most business models' these days seem to be hinged on hoping nothing ever goes wrong... or just paying if it does.

  • Building out my jellyfin media server question

    Jump

  • I thought there was a raid setting where it basically duplicated the data across the drives such that if any one of them fail it can recreate the data. That should at least cover the "local" backup part. For more important things like family videos and such I have external drives that are offline unless I am uploading new videos and such. But really I should have some kind of offsite backup for that kind of stuff.

  • Building out my jellyfin media server question

    Jump

  • ok, I see. So network is fast enough. That works for me. The miniPC only has 500gb. So that is why I figure I need the extra storage. As for a backup, I figured I would have to raid it. The only other option I can think of would be to run a second NAS or something. And that seems like overkill.

  • There are a lot of things there I don't know much about... yet. People have said that the issues in the news don't apply to the linked mini pc because it is a 12 gen. I haven't even picked a distro to install on it yet, so I don't know much about the versions. And I don't have any idea what ReBAR is in this context..

    Jump

  • while enabling the subtitle burn-in for all complex formats helped... the subtitles show up a little early. And instead of just forced, it shows them all the time. It also didn't totally solve the problem. Seems like the issue is triggered at the transition points where forced subtitles would start or stop. The playback jumps to some others spot in the show, and the subtitles end up being from a totally difference scene. :(
