  • The state of Linux music players in 2026

    Jump

  • For iTunes based music player there is also rhythmbox which is standalone (no subsonic server needed). It's what i used until i ultimately switched to navidrome + supersonic. I'll check out feishin since that didn't come up in my initial search last year. Ive liked supersonic though. It has a decent, simple UI and you can play albums by clicking on them

    Edit: ok feishin seems pretty cool. I might stick with this

  • Tagging music in Jellyfin & Symphonium

    Jump

  • Here's some tools i used and my experience with them

    • beets: very powerful CLI tool. Has a learning curve but can go through your whole music folder, automatically tag stuff it is confident in and prompt you when it's not sure.
    • musicbrainz picard: really powerful gui. Can add a bunch of folders, group them by album and have it detect the right albums.
    • kde kid3: simple gui app that if all you're looking for is basic tag input then it makes it super easy to manually tag a bunch of content all at the same time.

    I personally used all three of these. Beets as first pass that got me pretty far. Music brainz to fill in a lot of holes. And kid3 when i just wanted to do a bunch of manual updates

  • My Linux journey the past 2 days

  • The quests demanded an authentication agent, pipewire (whatever that is), some launcher, and amongst others, a clipboard service. After all these things were installed from the terminal, I gave it another reboot. Just to get greeted by the same quest page again, saying the authentication agent is missing. I installed the hyprpolkitagent again via the terminal and pacman. Rebooted again, but no improvement. Somehow it wouldn't recognize that this package is installed.

    Just to check, did you actually enable it? It needs to be run via a exec-once in your hypr config. https://wiki.hypr.land/Hypr-Ecosystem/hyprpolkitagent/

  • 8080 is a common default port number so make sure to always check those when deploying something new

  • How to push an existing repo to codeberg when push to create is disabled?

    Jump

  • Sounds like you got it sorted but heres what i do:

    • setup new repo in codeberg but don't check the box to initialize the repo
    • for existing project, use git remote -v to verify your remotes. Update as necessary (git remote set-url [remote] [url]). If it's a new project you can just git init and add your remote.
    • first push you'll need to specify the remote such as git push origin and after that you'll be fine to use just git push

  • Securing traffic between a proxy and a backend over a VPN. How do you get a certificate for an internal domain?

    Jump

  • This is what i do via acme.sh with the letsencrypt DNS-01 challenge. I have a cron job scheduled to renew/deploy

  • How do you manage your dotfiles?

    Jump

  • I use a bare git repo. After the initial set-up its just the basic git commands but invoked with a gitdf alias. I wrote a (non-monetized) blog post here about it.

    If still needing a tui you could write a simple helper script to call the commands.

  • Out of curiosity what wiki are you hosting? I have a community that we were thinking about moving our docs to a wiki to be more accessible to non tech savvy people wanting to contribute

  • What's the advantages/disadvantages to hosting Nextcloud with Docker vs the Package Center on a Synology?

    Jump

  • Well you're in self-hosting so if you don't know docker yet, you'll get the advantage of learning it. It will open up many self hosting opportunities.

    For me one advantage is just one central place for all my containers. I don't know how the package center handles storage but the docker version you'd have clear and easy access to the storage mount and would be able to make backups before big migrations, and you could set it up on a new server in the future. Imo there's just no reason to use the package center one unless youre not very tech savvy and don't want to learn anything else related to self hosting. I'm just assuming package center is easier in that regard but again i haven't used it.

    Also, when there are critical CVEs like the nextjs one found this past week allowing RCE then yeah, you want your stuff as up to date as possible. You don't want to have to wait an unknown number of days for a downstream version to get updated. Docker let's you get your updates straight from the source

  • Fair enough, i mostly use symfonium so same thing since both jellyfin/navidrome support subsonic API. I do like using the navidrome web ui on PC though

  • I haven't gotten to hosting my own wiki, but i do host an internal-only personal knowledge static site built with hugo. I have it set to build the site on my server which then serves it. Very useful to have something like that or a wiki.

  • Nice! I haven't dug into the API yet. The big thing for me was actually pretty small feature but tandoor let's me scale recipes up and down on the fly with just a click of a button. I couldn't find that in Mealie. We do a lot of home cooking for guests and large parties so being able to quickly see the portions and scale a recipe up/down saves a lot of mental math or errors.

    Edit: though looking at mealie demo again i see some recipes let you adjust the serving. But others do not.

    Edit 2: seems to be related when ingredients aren't parsed

    • media: jellyfin for videos, navidrome for music
    • photos: immich
    • game servers: +1 to foundryvtt if you're into tabletop rpgs. While the core software isn't open source, most systems are, and the pf2e system in particular is the best virtual tabletop experience you'll have on any platform.
    • recipes: i settled on tandoor. Very much a fan of it.
    • if you're a data nerd then chartdb for database diagraming, and cloudbeaver for database management

  • I much prefer navidrome for music over jellyfin. Better presentation and usage, tracks meaningful data and displays it by default, and won't delete your music library data if a folder gets moved. In other words jellyfin just gets rid of that data but navidrome will track missing songs and make you explicitly confirm removing them from the database.

  • I didn't have "deeply rooted" projects, but i started by just creating new projects on codeberg. It gave me time to test it out before i moved the rest of my projects which i did ~6 months later.

    For your use case i would consider the same. Figure out where you might like to migrate to and give it a test run with new projects. Then decide if you want to migrate the deeply rooted project(s) or not.

    I didn't have to worry about the community much, both because i didn't have large projects and also because i was on gitlab to begin with. If anything going from gitlab to codeberg i had the same if not more engagement with my small projects. But my motivation for my migration was just wanting to use services that support what i support. For me that's what was most important in the long run.

    Also re: github container registry. Forgejo (what codeberg uses) supports this: https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/user/packages/container/ . These images would then also show up on your project page under "packages" tab if it has been enabled

  • navidrome sso with traefik/authentik

  • I have mine only internal so i haven't ran into that. But check console. You mention mobile so if you're on android you can hook it up to your pc and use debugging through chrome.. In the past I've had success looking at error messages to see why my requests were failing. Usually because i wasn't passing headers correctly.

    I use symfonium and it looks like it let's you pass custom headers if needed. Good luck
