Yeah, I'm honestly surprised she was allowed to login to a msft computer again. Bc corporations historically suck.

Edit: clarification.

Thanks for the info, that's definitely not how it's working on my system, so I have something setup wrong. That explains my confusion.

I just updated my dockge container, you still have to start compose files from dockge in order to manage them. Which requires copy/pasting compose files into dockge. If you have more than 2-3 compose files, this is a pia. To me, that's not an import of 'existing stack'.

[–] darkknight@discuss.online 1 points 4 weeks ago (12 children)

I used this for a bit. Can you import existing stacks yet? That was my missing feature.

I was thinking of setting this up recntly after seeing it on Jim's garage. Do you use it for all your external services or just jellyfin? How does it compare to a fairly robust WAF like bunkerweb?

That is plan A, I have had buffering issues doing this at various hotels though. This is more of a plan b setup. That probably wasn't clear.

[–] darkknight@discuss.online 1 points 1 month ago

That's fair. I'm already very familiar with jellyfin, so the setup wasn't much concern, but the other options provided are good.

[–] darkknight@discuss.online 1 points 1 month ago

I had considered that as well. I'm just thinking out loud.

I'll be taking an android tv box with me, so the tv lockdown is a concern. I'll be taking my laptop w me in case I need it. I considered just installing jellyfin on that too.

i understand the 'do vacation things', i like to watch tv while i fall asleep, so there's that.

Some good things to think about here.

VLC is an option I hadn't considered, I'd still have to get the media on the hdd, but something to consider for sure. I won't be hosting any showings, this is just for personal viewing.

Yes, I've used it in the past to download some stuff offline for airplanes, but I think that would be more cumbersome to download that way than automate it using sonarr/radarr, (unless this has gotten better in the past year or so). I'm expecting to have quite a bit of media on the nas since it'll be for an entire month.

Yes, mostly just to have stuff to watch without commercials.

portable jellyfin stack (discuss.online)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by darkknight@discuss.online to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
 

I'll be vacationing for a month and want to setup a portable jellyfin server/stack. I'm not sure how good the internet will be, website says 300 mbps, but I won't know until I'm there, so not sure remote playback is an option. I already have a n100 minipc I bought for a backup firewall, so I'd just need to buy RAM for it.

Here's what I'm thinking would be the easiest setup for this:

  • travel router to vpn to internet
  • jellyfin server
  • nas os (will probably be truenas/omv, haven't settled on that yet) using external hard drive (I have a 5tb hdd that's just sitting around)

to get media on nas, docker containers on nas OS:

  • radarr
  • sonarr
  • sabnzbd

Is there an easier way to get media on the nas, or better options (or anything I'm overlooking) for any of it for those that have done a portable/offiline media server? Thanks in advance!

Edited for formatting

Edit: the consensus seems to be that this is overkill. I had a good reason at some point over just a laptop, but after sleeping on the feedback I don't remember what it was.
