I ran Jellyfin and plex for a while, using Jellyfin instead of plex at every oppurtunity. Then Jellyfin broke, I couldn’t figure out how to fix it in an evening, and I just went back to using Plex, which had continued working. It isn’t great, sure, but it’s fine. I think Jellyfin would need to be Immich levels of cool, or plex would actually need to be unusable for me to switch.

Yes

I’ve set up filebrowser quantum and am pretty happy with it. I also have skipped over nextcloud due to the reasons you mentioned, as I really don’t want all of the extra stuff, plus, I’ve heard it’s a pain to maintain. Seafile wouldn’t work for me for the same reasons as you.

The main thing it’s missing is offline automatic syncing of files, though I’m not sure any self hosted file app supports that unfortunately.

What in the AI generated bullshit spam are your posts? You’ve made like 4 to this community in the past day, and your account is less than a month old. Stop it.

My weekend project list was longer than my arm before I got into self hosting.

This does a great job of not answering the question I guess. I obviously am aware that I can write them myself, but I don’t want to. I like automating things.

It is starting to sound like it’d have to be haha

Yeah, GPT or whatever can do it, but I was hoping for something a bit more lightweight than what we’ve come to know as AI, as I don’t want to invest in new hardware.

The plug won’t always have two buttons if it’s GFCI protected, as one GFCI outlet can protect multiple outlets.

There’s nothing wrong with that, but self hosting opens up so much more flexibility, much like cloud hosted services we’re used to. Jellyfin is like a personal Netflix where you can watch your movies on any device at any time. The convenience is obvious. For most cloud hosted services, there’s an alternative that can be self hosted, and then you actually own your shit.

I’m planning to build another NAS, then pool both NASs together to make one big NAS, as I already simply use mergerfs and snapraid, so it’ll be cake to mount NAS 2 to NAS 1, then add it to the mergerfs pool. That probably won’t happen for a bit longer. I’m currently at 78TB with a max capacity of 256TB, and generating only about 1-2TB per month.

Yeah, if they’re moved I’ll likely want them to perform different automations and such, so I just completely delete tte device and re-set it up.

Maybe I’m missing something, but I’m not sure what this post has to do with memory, they’re asking about storage.

That’s hilarious

I’m on team “I’m definitely going to forget to lock my doors so it’s probably worth the decrease in security to ensure that they’re at least locked when I leave the house.”

I’m also on team it’d be easier to just smash the window while I’m at work than learn how to pick a lock.

^This is a really cool Z-Wave one that I use for lighting, as it supports dimming. Works awesome in HA. I have some lights hooked up to it outside for hanging at night, as well as inside, as no-one put ceiling lights in the living room of the house I’m renting. Just make sure your LEDs are dimmable of course. I still haven’t found a different dimmable zigbee/zwave smart plug, though I haven’t looked after I found that one.

I use those ^ for everything else. Zigbee of course, wifi plugs suck to set up and don’t do the mesh thing. Power monitoring opens you up for some super clever automations. I have my Xbox plugged into one, and when the plug notices the Xbox turns on, my IR blaster turns on the TV. I also have my TV plugged into one, so HA knows when the TV is on.

I don’t see how people can go without using dashboards. Considering I’m in America, I use them just about any time I go anywhere, as nearly all automobiles have them.

Real answer: I just have a script that updates everything. I run it manually when stuff needs updating. If a service goes down, I notice when it’s not accessible.

You can also get obsidian to sync using the guide here: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/s/GegPIcBjFg. It’s really good.
