I have an offsite NAS where I run the Restic REST server as a docker container. I connect to it over Nebula but you could also use a traditional VPN, Tailscale, Headscale, Pangolin or whatever.

Works like a charm.

Interesting, I didn't know that. Thanks!

Uhhh, I have always used Docker for Home Assistant with no issues? That being said, I'm no HA power user at all - so maybe you could elaborate about the limits you've encountered?

I was recently reading a lot about these because I wanted to use three Lenovo M920x for my homelab as virtualization hosts with Proxmox.

The really cool thing about them is their low power usage, that you can easily buy them used/refurbished and that you can fit a small PCIe expansion card into them.

I didn't use them in the end because sadly 22110 M.2 SSDs don't fit and I wanted to use enterprise SSDs for Ceph.

However, your use case seems simpler, so I'd think a M720q or maybe even M710q (without PCIe slot) would do, for less money than the M9xx series (which support vPro).

There's a really nice forum thread on ServeTheHome with loads of information about these units.

Uhh, interesting! Thanks for sharing.

No, it isn't.

EDIT: I quickly want to add that Jellyfin is still great software. Just please don't expose it to the public web, use a VPN (Wireguard, Tailscale, Nebula, ...) instead.

I don't know anything about Android AOSP, so I found this clarification important:

This does not mean that Google is making Android a closed-source platform, but rather that the open-source aspect will only be released when a new branch is released to AOSP with those changes, including when new full versions or maintenance releases are finished.

It's been a while since that I set this up, so take this with a grain of salt. I have these two plugins installed:

I'm honestly not sure if I even need both - maybe the Chapter Segments Provider is unnecessary, even though it's official and newer. I don't understand exactly how it works from the docs.

However, Intro Skipper gives you a new scheduled task named "Detect and Analyze Media Segments". Use this to extract metadata about media segments from your library.

Now that the server knows about some media segments you need a client that can handle them. I've had success with the Android TV App (check the settings) and the Web interface should support them too.

I didn't need to configure anything aside from that, as far as I can remember.

The media segments feature has been released as of 10.10.0 and it still needs a plugin. Still feels a bit clunky but works already on my Android TV box. I guess there will be more polish in future versions, now that the groundwork is done.
