Unfortunately I can't remember whether I downloaded pihole from some package manager within DietPi, or whether I used the instructions on pihole's site. It's not hard either way, it's really just one package.
I know Kodi running the Jellyfin plugin on LibreELEC works great on a Pi. I'm not entirely sure if/how Kodi supports YouTube, but there are so many plugins available it seems like it must.https://libreelec.tv/
Not the person you were responding to, but I'm quite happy with my DS220+. It's on 106 days of uptime after a power out. The interface / OS is very friendly. The only downside is the weak processor which makes it inadequate for things like Immich's AI or heavy Jellyfin use - but you get what you pay for.Re. lemons; are you sure it was the NAS that had issues or could it have been the drives? Mine is loaded with WD Red drives iirc.
Can’t figure out why you would use Plex over jellyfin
Probably the biggest reason is that it makes it so easy to securely share across the internet. With JF you're on your own and you can really fuck things up. If you're just running it on your LAN the JF is the obvious choice.
Just a heads-up that Computer Science is a branch of mathematics, and some schools lean into that more than others. There's a lot of theory in addition to the practicalities of writing programs. I'd assess how comfortable you are with math and abstraction, then try to figure out where the schools you're looking at place their emphasis. Since you want work as a programmer, make sure the school offers some software engineering classes in addition to the theory.
I'm just running into this now. It also won't let me log into the web interface. I'm glad I experimented with a second install before upgrading my primary pihole.
I tried Kopia but it was unstable and janky, so now it's whenever I remember to manually run a bunch of rsync. I backup my desktop to cold storage on the first of the month, so I should get in the habit of backing up my server to the NAS then also.
This is probably your best option at this point, as long as you're okay with it ethically. It's just one command to run.If you haven't fully move into your new installation, may I suggest installing the IOT version of Windows 11 instead? It has all the features you'd need and none of the cruft the normal consumer version has.
Raspberry Pi 2 or 3 (can't remember which) controlled through the TV with the remote. It's running LibreElec (Kodi) with the Jellyfin plugin. Discoverability isn't great through Kodi, but I can always use a computer or phone to find the media and cast if I need to.
I believe the issue is only with Tailscale Funnels. With Funnels, the data runs through TS's infrastructure so it's subject to whatever kind of bandwidth limitation they feel like enacting.
As others have said, you don't need to know how to code, but you do need to be comfortable editing structured documents, so knowing a little programming does help.Unfortunately, Nextcloud and email are two of the most difficult things to self-host. This is by reputation, I haven't tried myself. Email is supposed to be particularly difficult and the usual advice is to not bother.Jellyfin is pretty straight-forward as long as you don't have a weird hardware decoding setup and as long as you don't want remote access. If you do want remote access you need to use third party tools to do it securely. If it's just for your own use then Tailscale makes it really easy. If you want to share with non-technical users it gets messy.
