Why all the emojis? Why can't people just write an article?

jws_shadotak ,

I highly recommend using Docker/Podman, even though you say you don't want to. It is trivial to start up a new service using docker-compose once you get the basics down.

host:container when specifying ports or directories in the compose YAML (e.g. 58333:8080 will route the container's port 8080 to the host machine's port 58333.

+1 for Overseerr/Jellyseerr

I have a website set up with dynamic DNS and Nginx to resolve request.mywebsite.com to Overseerr and it uses Plex to authenticate users who I've shared my library with. I'm not sure how Jellyseerr authenticates users though.

My friends and family that use my server regularly add stuff to my Plex server via Overseerr.

jws_shadotak ,

Yes, it's my IP. I know I'll probably get shamed on here for that lol.

Dynamic DNS updater keeps the subdomain request.mywebsite.com pointed to my IP. Nginx resolves that subdomain to the Overseerr host:port with SSL cert and everything.

I'm eventually going to set up a VPS but I just... haven't.

Why is replacement for home device controls so complicated?

I recently learned about Home Assistant here on Lemmy. It looks like a replacement for Google Home, etc. However, it requires an entire hardware installation. Proprietary products just use a simple app to manage and control devices, so can someone explain why a pretty robust dedicated device is necessary as a replacement? The...

jws_shadotak ,

Home Assistant can be installed as a Docker container instead of going with the whole dedicated machine route.

jws_shadotak ,

That still doesn't explain it. I don't know what Notion is.

jws_shadotak ,

Ah I see. Thanks for clarifying.

jws_shadotak OP ,

No. MeTube only loads correctly after clearing the cookies and forcing me to re-login to Authentik. Even if I manually log out and try MeTube again, it doesn't work. Only clearing cookies fixes it temporarily.

The other apps authenticate and load correctly every time.

AirVPN is excellent

Composerize - online tool converts docker commands to compose yml ( www.composerize.com )

I had an issue recently with getting FileBrowser to run and while researching that, I found this tool which creates a docker-compose.yml file from a docker run command. It worked well for me, so I am passing it along to you all. I hope someone else finds this helpful....

jws_shadotak ,

jws_shadotak ,

Aside from the technical explanation that others have given, here's how I use Docker:

MeTube to rip videos and stuff easily. Just plug in a link and most times it'll work. Here's a list of all the supported sites.

I use Sonarr/Radarr and qBittorrent with gluetun to search for and download TV and movies that I watch on Plex.

I host my own Immich server that will automatically back up my photos from my phone just like Google Photos, except I own it all and it's all kept private. It has its own machine learning and facial recognition, so I can search for "dog" and get all the pictures of my dogs, or I can search by person.

I use Docker for all this because the images come in little prepackaged containers. It's super easy to get into once you figure out some of the basics.

Another great benefit of these containers is that you can transfer it to another system if needed. Just copy the config and data over to the new system and point the container in the right direction and it'll pick up where it left off.

jws_shadotak OP ,

I added a pastebin of the compose file

I tried adding depends_on to the qBit, but I got the same result. I think it's already dependent on gluetun for the network_mode

jws_shadotak OP ,

This happens every time I start them together, though. This is just a temporary fix

jws_shadotak OP ,

I don't see support for it in the Linuxserver documents

jws_shadotak OP ,

I added this to my qBit section:

    depends_on:
      gluetun:
        condition: service_healthy
        restart: true

It caused an error with gluetun somehow

jws_shadotak OP ,

I added this to my qBit section:

    depends_on:
      gluetun:
        condition: service_healthy
        restart: true

It caused an error with gluetun somehow

jws_shadotak OP ,

Torrents are stalling and it's only seeding about 600 KB/s. The icon at the bottom shows a little flame and the hover text says "firewalled".

Restarting qBit through the Dockge web terminal turns that flame icon into a globe and it starts finding hundreds of DHT networks. Uploads nearly max out my upload bandwidth.

jws_shadotak OP ,

qBit starts second but Gluetun isn't finished and doesn't open the port for another few seconds, causing this problem

Watched Dune (2021) on a sTrEamIng SeRvICe which lowkey tarnished the experience

everyone talking about dune, i finally wanted to watch it asap. there's nowhere to buy discs anymore that had it (besides barnes and noble which is a drive and costs $35 -- amazon, even with prime, would take a week (???)) so i resigned to sTrEamInG it from TNT....

jws_shadotak ,

You sound like you've had enough.

🏴‍☠️ Do the right thing 🏴‍☠️

jws_shadotak ,

Soundpad has a free demo. Just download it and start tinkering. You'll be restricted to 10 plays (I think) per launch.

I bought it directly from the website and I love it.

Are there any Windows-exclusive programs you use?

I had to test/fix something at work and I set up a Windows VM because it was a bug specific to Windows users. Once I was done, I thought, “Maybe I should keep this VM for something.” but I couldn’t think of anything that wasn’t a game (which probably wouldn’t work well in a VM anyway) or some super specific enterprise...

jws_shadotak ,

Same. I went through all the trouble of converting my server machine to debian and then found it's crazy convoluted to host an Arma server from Linux.

I made a VM to host it.

jws_shadotak ,

After enabling search plugins, find the button to update plugins. It should grab a handful of the top ones to start with, including 1337x.

I'm not sure what is causing the issue preventing you from adding it manually, though.

jws_shadotak ,

Oh, maybe it's enabled by default in your installation. Normally, you'd have to click View -> Search engine to toggle showing the search tab.

jws_shadotak ,

I don't use aliases but I use bash to do common things.

"bash update" will run apt update and upgrade

jws_shadotak ,

Check the files included in the torrent. Sometimes the folders include a little readme or something that people set to not download.

jws_shadotak ,

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?

Tinkering is all fun and games, until it's 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you're about to execute... And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought...

jws_shadotak ,

Not quite catastrophic but:

I'm in the process of switching my main server over from windows to Linux

I went with Deb 12 and it all works smoothly but I don't have enough room to back up data to change the drive formats so they're still NTFS. I was looking at my main media HDD and thought "oh, I'll at least delete those windows partitions and leave the main partition intact."

I found out the hard way that NTFS partitions can't just reclaim space like that. It shuffles all the data when you change the partition. It's currently 23 hours into the job and it's 33% done.

I did this to reclaim 30 MB of space on a 14 TB drive.

jws_shadotak ,

Yes, I grew the existing one. Lesson learned I guess. 30.5 hours into it and it's at 41%.

jws_shadotak ,

If I go this route, is there a way to take that VM I've created and just roll straight into it? Just install it on the boot drive?

I've got a Pop!_OS VM going already.

jws_shadotak ,

Oh I never though of running those!

Clonezilla inside the VM to clone the "drive" and then clone that to the actual SSD

jws_shadotak ,

Seconding this one

Super simple once you look at how the config file is formatted.

jws_shadotak , (edited )

https://pastebin.com/7S6QBsSY

I tried formatting it on here but it doesn't work.

gluetun + qBit

The compose file creates both and binds qBit to gluetun. I also have port forwarding set up through AirVPN.

jws_shadotak ,

Only qbit
I have other stuff in that stack as well, like sonarr and radarr, that I cut out.

The network mode setting in docker acts as a bind. The port is exposed to the host in gluetun. If gluetun throws an error and shuts down, qBit WebUI is no longer accessible.

jws_shadotak ,

eh get fucked ya Linux fanboy. Go cry about which distro is best instead of putting me down for trying to help someone.

jws_shadotak ,

I run it on a dedicated machine that does all my media management. I'm transitioning to Linux eventually.

I started out using a pi and installed sonarr and radarr with mono. Then I switched to docker on my spare windows machine. Whenever I get a break in work I'll switch to Linux completely.

Since my stuff is already containerized, it should be a painless transition... hopefully. I'll probably wait until I get a new HDD to transition to a new format since all my stuff is NTFS.

jws_shadotak ,

ChatGPT consistently makes up shit. It’s difficult to tell when something is made up because it’s a language model so it is supposed to sound confident as if it’s any person telling a fact that they know.

It knows how to talk like a subject matter expert because that’s usually what gets publicized most and thus that’s what it’s trained on, but it doesn’t always know the facts necessary to answer questions. It makes shit up to fill the gap and then presents it intelligently, but it’s wrong.

jws_shadotak ,

Seconding the other user's post, it's just storage. You can use it temporarily for the Plex server but I highly recommend offloading that task to a real computer.

A used Optiplex is usually the go-to because it's low power and capable of doing the job. Just make sure it has enough RAM to handle the containers you wanna put on it.

Docker is a little bit of learning but you'll get the hang of it. I found docker-compose to be much easier to learn. Portainer or Dockge can help by giving you a GUI, if that's your preferred style (like me).

how do i efficiently attach audio to an image

hi all, ive tried using shotcut and kdenlive but the outputted file ends up being huge. i have a single image and want to put audio on top (releasing a song) but these programs end up making video files where they render the same image on each frame and the files end up being huge. what is the best way to achieve my use case of...

jws_shadotak ,

Are you able to add it through the file properties menu?

jws_shadotak ,

NVIDIA Shield is generally considered the best.

It can also side load other apps like ad free YouTube or custom launchers that won’t display ads on your home screen.

jws_shadotak ,

I tried Nobara recently and had awful difficulties with it, probably because I have a NVIDIA GPU.

My GPU (3080 Ti) is compatible with the drivers it specified but it would get stuck on a blank screen.

jws_shadotak , (edited )

I think you got it backwards - OP was checking those apps to see if they had been accessed

nvm I got it backwards

jws_shadotak ,

Plus it’s pajeetware

fuck yourself.

jws_shadotak ,

OpenBoard is great and supports swipe typing using a Google library.

jws_shadotak ,

ah shit

Can someone help me pirate this series called Camp Camp?

Roosterteeth removed most episodes from Youtube some months ago and the videos on their website have so much ads that they ruin everything. I have tried looking for it, but most pirate sites that I know of either don’t have it at all, don’t work, or don’t have captions.

jws_shadotak ,

Are you able to inspect element and find the .mp4 file somehow? Try the add-on Absolute Right Click and Copy to inspect the video player.

I tried slapping it into my MeTube UI that uses yt-dlp but it doesn’t support Rooster Teeth I guess.
