  • Why is Unraid popular in the self-hosting community ?

    Jump

  • Yep they changed this somewhat recently I believe? Like a year or two back, not sure - before my time.

    Last I checked I think it's now like $50 or $60 for the first year, and renewals are half that, so definitely not terrible.

  • Selfhosting Sunday! What's up?

  • At this point my whole setup is mostly in maintenance mode - I've got everything I need up and running, making some minor changes here and there (like swapping out StirlingPDF for Bento), and keeping things up to date. I only started this hobby about 6 months ago or so, and I'm really satisfied with where things are at. We'll see when the next Big New Thing arrives.

  • Mixing disks is the #1 reason I went with unraid over any other option.

  • I've been running this setup for a few months now and haven't looked back. Works super well, and essentially acts as an approval process for letting a container update or not.

    The author also recently added a followup article to this one for using Forgejo instead, made migrating the setup super easy.

  • Nothing fancy. I use Backrest for all my backups, and a few of my plans just include the Immich directory. My NAS is an entirely separate machine so my local backups go there, while everything is simultaneously pushed to a backblaze bucket

  • Linkwarden downloaded the whole flipping Internet ...

  • I stopped using it because it was constantly eating up nearly a gig of RAM at all times just by existing. The dev's AI generated avatar is a big turn-off too.

    I went back to Readeck and it works much better for me without hogging system resources.

  • Another update that no one asked for

  • I switched to OpenCloud a month or two ago and it's been much better overall. A bit of a pain to set up but now it's running smooth, does everything I need it to do and is much more performant than Nextcloud was for me.

  • Good shout! Admittedly I've been happy with Symfonium so I haven't looked into FOSS alternatives but this looks really good. When I get a chance I'll add it to the writeup for sure.

  • That's something I've struggled to find so far unfortunately. Maybe something exists but I haven't found an answer yet.

  • This is a bit over my own head as I've only been dabbling with it recently, but so far from what I've found that seems to be the case.

    You can get creative with the Rules, but that's always accepting a level of risk. Like to get Beszel and Komodo Periphery working on my VPS, I technically expose some services, but I keep Pangolin's auth enabled and use the rules to restrict it to certain paths and only my own public IP to bypass auth (1. Allow: my IP, 2. Always deny 0.0.0.0/0).

  • I really need to get into a better habit of waiting for their friday events lmao, but yeah that's where I get most of mine from as well. Otherwise, sometimes a physical record comes with a download slip or w/e, or I'll just go find a download for something I already physically own. But for purchasing digital, Bandcamp is king right now, and I'm definitely interested in other options that are out there too.

  • At least from my understanding (specifically for Navidrome here), there's no way to differentiate which user owns which track/album if they're in the same location. Navidrome's multilibrary configuration is basically just telling it "hey this folder is this library, that folder is that library". A combined single folder is perfectly fine if users are fine with that, but in my use case my wife and I have dramatically different tastes so it makes more sense to separate it all out.

  • Appreciate it! I literally just slapped it together just for this post LOL but I'll probably start using it some more, kinda therapeutic in a way. The assets are all recycled from my streaming days, may as well still get some use out of em

  • I think I made a note about that, but you're right I should make it more apparent. I did use the blampe/hearring-aid build here which solves the issue for the short term, but I'll add a clearer note to futureproof it for when the main builds are fixed.

  • This is gonna get a bit into my particular setup but sure

    Explo's a super early in development "discover weekly" generator, relies on Listenbrainz scrobbling and runs on a cron job to download the playlist from your connected source (in my case slskd), put it in a folder, and create a Navidrome playlist out of it. I use the SLSKD_MIGRATE option (my feedback is actually the reason the dev even added it), so my files are downloaded to my slskd dir and explo moves them to a separate library.

    I'm very particular about my library though so I don't want it just throwing everything into the same folder as the rest of my music, and I have 2 users, so my directories are like:

    • /music/me
    • /music/wife
    • /discover/me
    • /discover/wife

    Keeping the discover folders for Explo completely outside the main library, but mounted in Navidrome as additional libraries, helps keep things very separate. Explo's also smart enough to check with Navidrome before searching for a track - if it already exists in the library, then it won't redownload it.

    I run 2 Explo instances, 2 hours apart, and in between those runs I have another cron job that wipes out my slskd downloads directory for a clean slate.

    One small catch I ran into: Explo needs a Navidrome admin account to kick off the library scan, but my users aren't admins (since an admin automatically has access to every single library). So each week when it runs I need to log in as an admin and re-assign each playlist accordingly. Not a big deal, and the dev already has some ideas in mind to address this in the future. This also becomes a small bit of an issue with the whole "don't download existing tracks" thing - Explo's looking at the admin's library which is everything, not the individual users' libraries. So if one user's playlist has a track that's in the other user's library, it won't be properly added. Not the end of the world, but a mild annoyance.

    I will say (and this isn't a fault of Explo), I'm not a big fan of Listenbrainz's weekly playlist algorithm. About 2/3 of the playlist tends to be artists that I already listen to, so it feels like a bit of a waste. I hope down the road we can plug in last.fm or something which tends to be a bit better for that.

  • Yep! They released it like a week after I just set up a second instance lmao

    The only catch I noticed is that the default "/music" library can't be changed, so I set up my directories in the container like:

    • /user1/music
    • /user1/discover
    • /user2/music
    • /user2/discover
    • /shared

    All 5 are set up as separate libraries, and I keep "/music/ in the container mounted to an empty directory. The discover folders are populated when Explo runs each week, that's a whole project of its own.
