Your choices for music are Jellyfin's shit performance or Subsonic-compatible servers' broken authentication. Navidrome, LMS, and gonic are names I see regularly. LMS is the only one I can see that actually lets you use a non-login password for the API.
Both sides have usable apps and they all have different features, which makes your flavour of frontend somewhat opinionated.

Is tailscale acting up for anyone else? I was trying to move some files to my nas on my home lan (winblows to truenas, smb via local ip NOT ts ip) and it was being absolutely glacial, even opening a folder and waiting for the contents the populate was painfully slow. Long story short it turns out the traffic was being routed through tailscale and presumably their servers for some strange reason and so was only doing 20 to 25 megaBITS, I closed tailscale and after retrying the copy I immediately was getting full near gigabit transfer rates and practically zero waiting when browsing files again. This has never happened before and I haven't changed anything anywhere. Checking tailscale status in cmd showed only one device listing an IP and direct connection status, other devices that I know are on, connected and on my wifi like my phone just had a dash and other ones that were off were of course shown as disconnected.

planning switch to xcpng from esxi
tried proxmox
feels kinda fragile to me
cant stand seeing guides where they are making changes straight on the hypervisor routinely
fucking hell I am no documenting that to know every tweak I did
plus windows VMs required kinda lot of tinker and reading on all the settings
also seeing containers running straight on it instead of on having a VM for them...
weird

anyone got experience with xen and xcpng?

>>108857226
wasn't there a guy the other day around these threads saying
>hey brace yourselves for a Tailscale rug pull, it's coming
i dont mean to sound like an alarmist fag but still

>>108857284
been using xcpng at home for 4 years. i always find myself surprised how well it justwerks. like if you want to change a management IP address or something you assume something will catastrophically fuck up but it always just works. way more reliable than vmware ever was at my old job.

the only real gotcha is initial setup can be a bit of a pain because afaik they still haven't got the new basic host-based web interface working very well so you can't really make vms or configure storage or anything easily until you have the appliance installed (use the ronivay xen orchestra installer script on github). but you probably want a vm set up to run the script in so it's a bit chicken and egg. the windows xcp-ng centre works okay for this, i don't know what options there are for other OS. Once you get over that hurdle it's smooth sailing.

oh and debian default package repos don't have the guest tools, you have to install them manually.

now that pcie passthrough can be done in the frontend those are the only complaints ive ever had

>>108857373
tailscale already updated their policies recently. they're still trying to accumulate goodwill and lock in users before the rugpull

>>108857460
Nice.
I tested xcpng on few machines
to get the feel how it works and so far I like it
went with ronivay docker image running on my current docker host
I tested passthrough with intel igpu and jellyfin in a VM and it worked too
tested guest tools and parravirtualized drivers too
also tested migration of a VM from esxi to xcpng and it worked too
backups worked fine
still waiting for some free time to actually get going with the move

Routing all traffic through their servers dramatically increasing costs and tanking user experience in hopes of driving more subscriptions and/or free users off the platform doesn't really sound like an effective rug pull when you're built on free software that anyone can use and can run on a potato (wireguard), have a self-hosted alternative that does the same exact thing (headscale), and a user base that is mostly comprised of people tech savvy (autistic) enough to set up the above on their own and migrate off of your service without much hassle. Not saying they won't do it, just saying it doesn't sound like a very smart idea.

>>108857566
What exactly did they change that is concerning?

>>108857941
nothing concerning. i was saying that the recent changes are the opposite of concerning and that whatever issues they're experiencing right now likely aren't from a rugpull
i do expect them to start ruining it once the free vc money runs out though

>>108858060
Oh gotcha. Yeah, hopefully since they mostly just work as a coordinator rather than an actual VPN or cloud storage their storage, bandwidth and compute costs are low enough that that won't happen for a while (or even better, never).

Lads, I'm looking for some help. I'm wanting to finally set up some sort of reverse proxy/domain to remove the need to type a full IP address and port each time I want to access one of my services. The goal here is: simple names and certificates for HTTPS.

I've been doing lots of reading, and I cannot for the life of me figure out the best, simplest method for this. So far, the most likely option seems to be grabbing a domain name from someplace like DuckDNS, setting up Caddy as a reverse proxy, and then doing some sort of magic between the two along with AdGuard Home to get the naming sorted.

Not really wanting to go the self-signed route, but this whole effort is for internal services only. I can already access my stuff outside my home network via tailscale, so I want to also ensure that doing something like described above doesn't reveal anything in my home network to the internet. I also read about something like DNS01 to help prevent the need to open a port, which sounds nice.

What do yall do? Any recommendations or guides that aren't reddit-level of slop?

if i want to run a server and for example use stream my anime to my phone when i'm visiting relatives, is the right way to do this to wireguard into my server and then just run mpv-android or possibly jellyfin?

>>108858430
I do DNS-based ACME challenges (DNS01) and have my local DNS server rewrite the domain name for me. If I were you, I would set up a local DNS server like Adguard Home before I set up certs. It's a useful thing to have and kind of a project unto itself.

>>108858430
I use a Let's Encrypt certificate I get via a DNS challenge using acme.sh with Cloudflare API keys.

I CNAME my domain records, so plex.server.com is a CNAME to server.internal, and then I resolve server.internal on my router to the actual server. The only problem with this is Windows, since Windows absolutely fucking hates this and refuses to resolve like half of the time. Thankfully I only use Windows for gaming, but sucks whenever I need to access any of the internal services there.

>>108858776
Ha, I actually switched over to Adguard Home yesterday after years of using pihole. Back when I had pihole I played around with local name records and such which worked (as far as I can remember), and debated doing the same thing again with Adguard but figured I should go the full proxy/public domain name route so that I don't have to set it up later.

I will look into the ACME challenges. Just to make sure I understand correctly - you are using some sort of public domain name and you have it configured with your DNS server to do the ACME challenge?

>>108858843
Another mention of ACME, got it. I also looked a bit into Cloudflare as an option, I'll do some more comparisons here as well. I also really need to sit down and refresh my memory on the differences between CNAME and A records again. It's been years, but the process that you described makes sense.

Appreciate the help bros. This is the least fun part of the entire lab experience in my opinion.

>>108859037

A record points to an IPv4 address.
CNAME points to a domain name.

Understand that if you are using a service that requires external resources that it may be rug pulled anytime.

>>108859233
Plex does enumeration and authentication for accessing other servers. It's not free to operate and Plex is running into the same shit other services are in that it's basically business suicide to sustain a service or actively support a product in perpetuatey based on a one time payment.

Just buy some cables for your PSU model. If you're paranoid by a $5 multimeter and check the voltage on each pin
Also I'm surprised you can't see any boot devices from your BIOS. I was kinda shocked when I saw every single HDD as a boot device in my BIOS with an HBA. The UEFI should recognize the HBAs option ROM.

I'd say they've been shitting the bed quite hard lately, with the push for sharing and streaming. Really the only thing keeping on Plex is momentum, since I have a working setup and I don't have to pay for Pass ever again (unless the suits decide that lifetime isn't lifetime).

I bought a public domain name, and I have it connected to a DNS provider. This lets me get an API key that I can give my reverse proxy so that it can handle the DNS challenge automatically for me. But I do the domain name -> reverse proxy IP mapping on my own local DNS server. You can also do this on the DNS provider dashboard, but I prefer not to do it that way. Sorry if this is confusing at all, I'm far from knowledgable.

>just rawdogged WireGuard between two remote devices
Heh, time to get rid of Headscale/Tailscale.Who needs 'em?

The quick start guide on WireGuard's homepage is simple enough, but I had to learn that the automatically made ListenPort when creating the WireGuard interface was the one the other peer needs to have in its endpoint configuration, not just 51820. To be fair, the AI kinda screwed me there, but it helped me solidify my understanding of the whole thing. As long as one of the peers has a stable address, I shouldn't have to worry since the other can easily establish a handshake, and the "server" peer doesn't even need to have an endpoint set (in fact, it shouldn't, although it won't really hurt).

However, this isn't necessarily always the case... Next step setting my VPS as a central hub for clients to traverse endpoints somehow maybe?

After thinking it over, all I need is to make a script/program that parses the output of "wg show all dump" from whatever peer I consider the foundation of the network (server) to generate configs for all peers. That alone saves a ton of work for setting up a mesh topology which handles dynamic changes too (client peers will always supply their endpoint to the server peer). Automated retrieval and WireGuard interface update should be simple for Linux clients at least.

There was that one decentralised storage solution that absolutely shredded SSDs, so people wouldn't run them on their own devices (because why would you destroy your own hardware for this?), and instead ran them on commercial server providers, who then promptly banned running the service on their devices.

does jellyfin and radarr support multiple movie versions at once? it automatically pulled shit quality with eng language. i imported new torrent into qbittorrent and now it displays one (new) version in radarr and jellyfin, the old one is still in qbittorrent but doesn't show in radarr or jellyfin

I have Plex working locally, but I would like to access this outside of my network. Do I setup Jellyfin (and possibly pay for a domain name and whatever else), or just install Tailscale and remote directly into my homeserver and use Local plex? Tailscale seems cheaper and easier?

>>108863709
I also had to learn that you can't have overlapping IPs in AllowedIPs for all your peers in your WireGuard config. At some point I thought I could just put the entire subnet in there for convenience, which is fine for the clients in a hub-and-spoke topology, but definitely not for the server.

I need to use less AI though (in general), even for just "confirming" things. It's surprising how much time it can end up wasting.

>>108865335
Tailscale would be easier, although free Plex is a bitch and will block you using a VPN if your VPN is in a different subnet, since they want you to buy a remote pass.

Very easily if you're coming from another subnet. If the server sits at 192.168.1.100 and your VPN client is at 10.100.0.123, it'll decide that you're not a "local" client and block you.

Should I just buy external monitor and keyboard? I plan to install win 10 itsc on it and I know it has driver issues so autounattend.xml probably is not the solution here.

Obviously there's 'just use a directory structure and filenames', but, I'm wondering if there's something that understands file versioning, supports metadata and so on. Suggestions?
