Hello,
I need some help with plex/jellyfin (I have the same difficulty with both.) Note that I am brand new to Linux and Self-hosting, I'm using the home media server as a cool and useful project to learn Linux before moving away from Windows as I acknowledge I have a lot to learn in Linux before considering migrating in a smooth manner.
I'm here to learn and I don't request to be spoon-fed a solution because I would ideally like to end up knowing more and be able to solve this myself next time.
Description of project: I'm trying to setup a local home media server running on 192.168, nothing fancy online.
The comments below helped. My docker run was wrong and missing a source:target. Eventually I got it working and on my way also learned how to map an NTFS external drive with fstab! My media server is up and running!
Debian Bookworm
Install Plex on the Debian bookworm laptop and access music library locally
Library /home/user/media/data is seen and added to Plex but no actual files or sub-directory are then located |
Ran in docker container
How I setup plex's docker:
sudo docker run \
-d \
--name plex \
--network=host \
-e TZ="<timezone>" \
-e PLEX_CLAIM="*My claim got I got online*" \
-v /home/*user*/.config/plex/config \
-v /home/*user*/plex/transcode \
-v /home/*user*/media/data \
plexinc/pms-docker
What I have tried/noticed:
I'm out of ideas with my limited and new knowledge. Can you help me out? I can provide screenshots and more detailed information, just tell me what you need.
Hello everyone New to Linux, new to self hosting, and struggling a bit but making progress.
I have two questions: 1 Is there a YouTube channel or a website with tutorials and explanations for the dummies like me? Something eli5 with easy words to start with and understand the basics.
2 I see a lot about nginx and reverse proxy and not sure I need it. I want to run a couple apps on my local network to be able to access it on any computer inside the house and, for now, nowhere else. Do I need nginx? What about port security? I'm worried my lack of understanding regarding ports would make my home network vulnerable. But since for now I only use 192.168.1 , i'd say I'm safe from intruders?
I acknowledge it's all surely basic but I'm not sure where to find a comprehensive source of learning instead of googling bits and pieces.
Thanks
Hey! Long story short, I'm interested in Self hosting stuff and want to wet my feet a bit with a spare laptop I have. The main nvme drive is used by windows 10, and it has a 250 Go SD card.
I've been trying to install TrueNAS Scale and YunoHost on the SD card to no avail. I have seen people on forums say they had stuff installed on an SD card but I'm starting to doubt it.
Can it work? I think I need some help but I don't know what info might be useful.
Hey!
I've been journaling for about 7 years now (Wow... already) and an issue I've always had is when I have to write on a specific page but run out of space and can't go to the next one because it's already used.
I've tried post-its, loose sheets with a clip, give up and turn a couple pages and title the new page "Monday, contiued" or whatever. And all those solutions have felt very "Meh" and lacking elegance.
Do you have a clever trick or system to fit extra stuff in a page that is already surrounded?
Should I just learn to embrace some chaos and use a new page not in order?
Does it happen to anyone else and does anyone know why it happens and if it means it's gone bad or it's safe?
It's the only spice in my kitchen, and I have many, that acts weird and google wasn't helpful on this one.
It becomes one solid block at the bottom and I would need a knife or something sharp to go tear at it and break clumps off from it again. But I'm not sure it's still safe to eat.
Hello everyone,
I've got a pen I only use to write in a journal dedicated to my mother who passed away. When I wish I could still talk to her I get that journal and write whatever discussion I'd like to have with her. I have a Pilot Cavalier that is only used for this.
I'm worried the irregular use might damage the pen. Sometimes I write everyday, but not everyday I have ideas of what to say so sometimes I go a couple of days, even weeks without writing much if at all.
Can it be bad for the pen and what is the proper maintenance I should do on such a pen with such irregular usage?
I'm starting thinking about using it more for other occasions and let it loose its "sacred" aspect, but I'm not sure yet.
