I use Lidarr to watch for new releases and try to get some bootleg albums, while main way of getting things is trough some websites or just pulling stuff from qobuz directly.

All the music is FLAC with a small percentage in mp3 320. also, man sometimes wants to get that 300GB discography pack with 6 different releases of the same album 😁

when people have too much free time

Do you have sample of what kind of errors you’re getting? are they docker related or service related? as in jackett can’t connect/reach sonarr for example?

I got a used mini pc to run as a media center, running the arr stack and torrent client that’s bound to the VPN interface. For usenet stuff I don’t care is it on VPN or not. Its running headless.

If you make sure that the torrent client is set to be bound on the VPN interface, you are fine, if VPN is not up, it should not start, since the interface is not up. For VPN I use wireguard and set the VPN to be brought up by via wg-quick command and use systemd to start it during boot.

You’ll be fine using it for personal stuff along with pulling stuff from high seas.

works fine for me, didn’t really see any big issues.

At least, for me, Nix was never attractive, and it should be by all means, the features it provides. I still see this as an alternative, where I’m more than satisfied with my bash scripts and git repos, syncthing backups to rebuild the whole system.

And, on the second part, this schism that happened in Nix is the same recipie that happened in other projects. I just find it funny.

latest cargo crates updated

I’m running it trough docker with VNC, and it works fine for my use case.

Navidrome over wireguard, and music library in folders and proper tagging trough beets and picard. using subsonic as a client for it. tried plex and plexamp but I’m moving away from them.

First of all, this might now answer your question fully, but…

spotify-dl uses youtube music to download stuff, and if you have youtube premium you can get higher quality downloaded, I think it does opus 128 or 156 kbit, and the sound is quite good.

tidal, deezer, or qobuz have cd or hi-res quality songs, and there are utils that help you get stuff from their service. qobuz-dl’s the one I have been experimenting with. Obviously you need subscription for it, but spotify is generally shit.

Apart from that I used few other sources to get my music.

I’m using usenet.farm, works well

I use windows for 2 things - personal pc to play games, work laptop dualboot for excel usage if some super old messy sheets. everything else linux.

use dpkg -r to remove the packages:

openjdk-17-jre-headless:amd64 openjdk-17-jre:amd64 default-jre minecraft-launcher geogebra

Then install minecraft-launcher and see what it says. might be that openjdk is clashing with default-java.

my 2 cents just on this…

Check netmaker for wireguard vpn if you want a ui, but its straightforward to set it up manually.

I’d say, what kind of security are you talking about? Apart from standard HTTPS to keep things encrypted, there are other layers if you want to keep your service exposed to the internet.

Also how things are installed and if they are correct, proper file permissions. nothing different than having it on the server somewhere. You just need to keep thing up to date and you’ll be fine.

I like it here on Lemmy as there are quality talks from people and not too much circlejerking same concepts around. I actually like going trough here.

About 6 year uptime on one machine before we shut it down and relocated.

Yes, thats exactly it. Make sure your HAProxy is listening on the wireguard interface as well. Once you have the wireguard tunnel working, do a quick test, like curl -H "Host: domain.tld" https://router_wireguard_ip/ and if that works, add in the iptables roules and you should be all set.

Thanks for the reply, flux is pretty good, I’m using ArgoCD, but both are basically following gitops priciples.

I might give k3s a look and see how ot all work together.

disadvantages: everything else
