  • Similar to the others although I have messed with Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, and even a few others for like a day or two each.

    At the moment I am using Fedora. My drives are raided and my main storage has all the data and the docker config directory’s.

    Using docker for everything, watchtower for updates, and pertained to manage the containers with a gui. All the containers are directed to /mnt/drive/allMyData. In there is my data folders. Shows, movies, plex configs for recording over the air, ebooks, documents, etc.

    Mainly I set it up this way so I can easily change distros if I wanted to and have all my services back up in an hour or so.

    I started a text file that contains the command lines I have used to start all of my docker containers. This way if I need to I reference it and use the exact same commands mapped volumes to the same folders. Now I am back up and running in a few clicks. No need to backup the container if all the data in it is setup in folders in my main data directory.

    However I am running a separate hardware raid setup prior to os. This way all my data stays safe as a separate volume.





  • Since you are against using plex even with using it only locally I would suggest you look into the Jellyfin clients support. Specifically look at each client device documentation and take a look at what audio and video codex they natively support. If there is one they both support then I suggest you do some testing and stream a movie or show that is encoded with that specific format. This will let you know if it will work across both clients whether it’s a stream issue hardware issue or Wi-Fi issue.

    This will prevent transcoding that can cause audio sync issues.

    Edit - if that works then I suggest you convert you library to that format.



  • I am truly sorry if I added to your internal turmoil. That was the last thing I meant to do. We all have too much of that these days.

    I had been on my kids recently about the idea of you find something turn it in to lost and found. If it’s not yours then “it’s not yours”. I truly have nothing against the idea that it’s hanging over a public sidewalk and you grab one. I was just in the wrong mindset to understand that you’re not saying “go pick it clean!” This is a great example of how a quick reaction to something can be the wrong thing and cause more harm than good.

    I will keep this in mind when I comment on other posts in a community I am not subscribed to. I hope you have a great day and an awesome week!












  • Not sure where you are at but a new faceplate is like $2 max. You can get one that is double outlet one big box and one tiny slot for the switch it you want. You can also opt to replace the other switch as well with a sea saw switch that is in a box shape as well for like $5.

    There are options.

    Way back I had replaced some of mine with Wemos before they went cloud based. I did exactly this, replaced the faceplate for like $1.50 and was set.

    Do you have a tasmota switch in mind already?
