Like 1 hour every two months or so, I just run an ansible playbook and check everything is working ok

I worked in the nightshitf for almost 2 years and can confirm this is so true.

Yes I use it a lot to read manga and some books. Works perfectly. On Android you can connect with CDisplayEX.

Syncthing, Gitea, jellyfin (with arr stack), audiobookshelf, Kavita.

Sure you can check https://trash-guides.info/

and here is my setup, I’m using podman containers for everything

Can we get a factorio server?

I’m using my RPi4 4gb to run a home media server, jellyfin and *arr stack all containerized and automated. Also syncthing for obsidian. Works perfectly

+1 for obsidian and syncthing, I like to avoid the use of many applications. So everything related to writing text/notes for personal use I do centralize in obsidian. You can even make some drawings or handwriting with excalidraw, hady for diagrams.

What a good timing, I was looking for a YT music replacement.

Navidrome seems like a good choice but is exactly what you’re are saying “classic media player with a webUI”. I like the convenience of YT music recommendations and all the music available even the music I don’t usually listen to. I would need a much bigger music library or a way to facilitate the music discovery and automate the downloads.

I know there’s is Lidarr to automatically download music but I read some people saying music naming scheme is a mess. So anybody has successfully replaced Spotify or YT music with Navidrome or similar? How is your setup?

How did you structure your library? Did you use lidarr?

Maybe it’s hard at the beginning but as you keep doing it becomes easier. If you feel overwhelmed take a break for a few days and try again later. I think we all have been there and hit a wall. Self host, open source and Linux communities are friendly you can ask for help and find someone willing to help you, so don’t be afraid to ask for help (as I was before). Just take small steps.

Don’t give up. Have fun.

Those that are hosting their own mail server, did you stop using regular mail (gmail, outlook etc). Is possible to migrate to self hosted mail? I don’t think I can’t stop using gmail and other google services that’s stopping me from trying to do this.
