  • Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April

    Jump

  • Final thought: there's also a fair chance (I'd rate it at almost 70%) that they presented this to us because they knew it would piss people off. Then, in a week or so, they will post a "we're sorry, is this better?" with the changes they're ACTUALLY going to make. A ploy to make us blindly agree to whatever they want because "at least it's better than what they wanted originally" 🙄🙄

  • The audacity of this company to increase prices when:

    A) downloads are locked behind the paywall but havent worked in years (probably close to a decade at this point)

    B) they focus all the development time on bringing bullshit to the platform (live tv, rentals, other streaming app searches, etc)

    Requiring a subscription for remote access is actually fucking insane, they don't have any bandwidth costs associated with that other than authentication so ???

    This will drive people to Jellyfin, and watch how fast Plex drops into irrelevance when all the selfhosters move away. Plex is (now was) the #1 thing to that both myself and others in this community would recommend to someone looking to get into selfhosting. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ not anymore, wonder how much the revenue will drop?

  • Framework’s first desktop is a strange—but unique—mini ITX gaming PC

  • $1k for the base isn't horrible IMO, especially if you compare it to something like the mac mini starting at $600 and ballooning over $1k to increase to 32GB of "unified memory" and 1tb of storage.

    I get why people are mad about the non-upgradable memory but tbh I think this is the direction the industry is going to go as a whole. They can't get the memory to be stable and performant while also being removable. It's a downside of this specific processor and if people want that they should just build a PC

  • Nice! So you were able to get everything working?

  • Hey, can you elaborate a little bit more? Based on my Google search, casa-os is a front end for selfhosting? So, I would assume that you are not connecting to the right ports.

    So, my assumption is: casa-os is using your port 80 and 443, so when you set up the DNS A Record, and navigate to it in your browser, it takes you to the homepage for casa-os. If this is indeed the case, then you have a couple options. You could:

    1. Change the ports that casa-os is using and then rebind NGINX to 80 and 443
    2. set up a second device just for NGINX (which is what I do, I use a Raspberry Pi just for network entry for stability reasons)
    3. (I've never done this, so YMMV) you might be able to use Tailscale Serve
      • You would have it serve the port for NGINX under your Tailscale DNS name
      • Once you're there, I imagine that you could use a CNAME DNS record or something on your custom domain in order to continue using the domains that you want, sub domains, SSL, etc.

    Let me know what ends up working for you. I hope that either option 1 or 3 work, if those fail then you can definitely get it working via option 2 :)

  • Can you provide an example? I'm a little confused by what you mean.

  • Once the port is open, you should be able to access it via the tailscale IP just as you would locally on your network

  • Happy to help!

    Side note, if you want to make publicly available services, you could use cloudflare tunnels. They work in a similar way -- letting your services be accessible over the Internet without needing to open ports. Some other people in the comments have mentioned that Tailscale funnel can also work for this, but i haven't used it so I can't really advise on that front

  • Just looked it up, seems to pretty cool. Does it only work with one service though? You proxy one port to your tailscale domain name, but does it do routing for additional ports at the same time?

    I've only done surface level research into it, and honestly didn't come across this when i was doing the research for NGINX Proxy Manager, but it seems a little limited in comparison.

    Happy to be proven wrong though, any easy solution is a good solution :)

  • That does work great, but when I'm on mobile i find it a lot easier to just go straight to the service rather than using a dashboard (although i have one set up)

  • Interesting, i didn't know that but that is definitely something worth looking into if you need it for your usecase:

    Personally, I use a cloudflare tunnel for that. I'll probably end up checking out tailscale funnel at some point for fun though

  • To my understanding, yes! I touched on it in the post but since tailscale is a VPN that doesn't require open ports to access other devices in the tailnet, you don't need to worry about CGNAT

  • Same thing,

    CNAME: -> @

    Which translates to: -> example.org

    Is a wildcard DNS character, basically meaning any subdomain will get forwarded to the root domain

  • Where? All the keys in the screenshots are sample keys

    First SS: its 01234456789abcdef repeated Second SS: it just says yourapikeyhere

  • Set up Tailscale with NGINX Proxy Manager

  • Yes, that is the intention. I suppose I probably could have just edited it to read 'example.org'. But, it's the shorthand notation @ refers to your domain name.

    So the A record @ -> [Tailscale IP]

    which DNS translates to example.org -> [Tailscale IP]

  • 🫡 just doing my part, when i set it up it was a lot of digging through documentation and videos (the information is there, but it definitely requires some commitment in the research lol). Wanted to make something that gives it all in one go & helps the community out :)

    Honestly, this is probably the enhancement to my homelab which has yielded the greatest QoL improvement. Prior to this, I would have to remember port numbers for every service and every ip address that i have something running on (and as my lab has expanded, this has become a lot more challenging).
