What is everyone else hosting? What am I missing?

    Personal preference: Jellyfin instead of plex

    Some that I run that you don’t seem to have anything for:

    • Lancache (if you have several gaming PCs on the network or host any kind of lan party)
    • surveillance camera software e.g. shinobi
    • I see grafana, but other monitoring services like icinga, librenms, etc
    • Mayan EDMS - I’ve found this really helpful as anything I get in the mail, I scan in, and this makes it all searchable and retrievable.
    • There’s a whole hole you could dig if you start getting into home automation (I use home assistant)

      What about Jellyfin do you prefer? I remember jellyfin not having the greatest hw encoding when I tried but that may be different now.

      I use Intel Quick Sync and getting that to work with Plex through Unraid was a breeze. I certainly did not have the same experience with Jellyfin at the time.

        I’m a huge supporter of open source, so Plex being closed alone makes it gross to me. Very little about Plex felt selfhosted.

        I also like to tinker a lot and jellyfin lets me screw around with much more under the hood - precise encoding settings, dlna customizations, I’m sure there’s more but the primary driver was ideology. I’m not giving my money to some company that’s primarily developing features I don’t want so that I can use my own media to the fullest.

        I’ve had very little issue with hardware accelerated encoding, but I already had the right drivers installed and on unix OSes that’s probably the hardest part

          Thanks for the response! I think I’ll give it another shot when I get home. I’ve been procrastinating some of my home assistant projects so this is perfect haha

      I’ve been looking at something for my cameras. I got Zoneminder running but configuring its behaviour was a nightmare.

      All I want is to keep a limited rotating backup of a few cameras. Would Shinobi do that?

          Oh damn, that looks especially rad! I do run Home Assistant and pipe everything through a selfhosted MQTT server, so there are a ton of use cases I can think of for video detections being piped through MQTT for me. Ty!

    Shinobi seems to be pretty lightweight though. I’m running it in an orangepi zero recording 4 cameras 24/7 and streaming their feeds with no hardware issues from the orangepi. Would frigate be able to run on light hardware?

      Object detection will be a challenge, especially for multiple cameras. It’ll probably be fine if you have an Intel processor with quick sync.

      I’m running Blue Iris on a Windows VM. I also have codeproject.ai on an Ubuntu VM with a Quadro P2000 for object detection (it also does Plex transcoding, the object detection doesn’t stress it very much).

      My previous “home server” was a raspberry pi 4 running home assistant and motioneye for 2 cameras. It was able to handle it with a reasonable amount of headroom. That being said, I couldn’t imagine an SBC being able to handle object detection on top of that.

      I’ve got frigate running on a HAOS VM as an add-on. 2 cameras both running detection with only 2 cores dedicated to frigate.

      Using proxmox on an old Intel 5960x, very minimal usage I’m sure you would see reasonable results on an orangepi. I guess make a backup of your SD / NVME before wiping and testing.

      Been meaning to tweak detection as it’s a bit slow right now, wanting some automations built around person / presence detection utilising zone detection but it’s too slow right now.

    Wish I had the time/energy to host this much… Currently I’m running

    • Plex
    • Nextcloud (snap on ubuntu VM because its easy)
    • pihole
    • pivpn

    I’m also running Jellyfin and Navidrome, in an attempt to determine if they are good alternatives to Plex for like 6 months at this point. See comments above about time/energy.

      Jellyfin ftw

      I didnt use any speciall features on plex, but for me the only advantage of plex was the abbility to have all movies/tv shows in one folder. After switching to jellyfin and *arrs the folder structure is sorted so I have 0 reasons to consider plex again

      So there is a bit of a learning curve, but the Homepage docs are pretty well written. YAML is a bit of a bitch to work with though. Very similar to JSON and easy to read, but God forbid you aad some unintentional whitespace

          Do you run homepage next to HA?

          I mean homepage looks very sleek and I had a sudden urge to set it up :-) , but tbh, having HA set up for both browser/tablet and phone, I don’t think I’d ever actually look at homepage…

      Is that a lot? It’s usually between 30-50%. I’ve set it up as my routers DNS server so it blocks ads across my entire network. Everything that connects to my router get pihole ad blocking

        It definitely is – considering that my rpi 4 with pihole has an average of 10% to 15%.

      Not that crazy. I think I’m sitting at 23.5%?

      Alexas phone home… a lot. My TV does the same. As do many random devices in my network.

      I have IoT devices that would love to phone home but I’m controlling them locally so have disallowed them connecting to the internet.

      It adds up quickly.

    Which nextcloud image do you use? I’ve been having issues with the linuxserver being kinda buggy at times (not loading file previews or not being able to close a preview without editing the URL) the app has performed pretty well but the web ui hasnt been great

      Yeah I’m using the linuxserver one. It was a bit buggy for me, but I feel it’s improved with each update. Especially the new one, v27 I think? I also feel like the longer the server is online, the better it feels, so it may be a caching thing too

          I’m running unRaid on an i5-12400 with 32Gb RAM. I’m also using an NVME cache drive for uploads to Nextcloud and have unRaid scheduled to move the files over to the HDD array every night

          Edit: also the linuxserver MariaDB image for DB. If you’re also running MariaDB, have you done the manual check for errors and update process? That might help?

    I understand none of this but I do find it cool looking and very interesting.

    I use Plex and even then it’s on a seed box.
