That would be a mirror of my setup. GMKtec N100 with 16 Gb of RAM doing all the heavy lifting with Jellyfin (transcoding), game servers, HomeAssistant and so forth. Not once has it had a hickup.

It’s a brilliant little thing for really very little money.

Remember to activate C-states in BIOS to achieve the super low idle TDP people talk about, around 6-8W.

Good luck on your journey!

I did the same.

Jellyfin and all “fun” containers to a N100 NUC and let the NAS be a NAS. It’s only running the .arr stack and qBit. Works really well and the NUC has power for days to expand.

Yeah it makes no sense, yet it’s so much fun when stuff finally works like it should!

Everybody loves using Jellyfin at home, but they think I’m mad for spending countless hours setting up everything the first time, then a second time to improve, then a third time as I migrated HW.

Keep having fun with it mate! The possibilities are endless

We don’t. He’s full of shit.

The right (FRP) is on a hard decline atm, allmost back behind Høyre. People tend to think a bit more before voting than when answering a random questionaire.

Great comeback when being called out on spreading horseshit, mate.

Please read up on the current state of Norwegian politics before sharing any more of your interesting “knowledge”.

18-29 year olds being populist is most certainly not tearing the country to shreds.

The latest polls have AP back on top. Currently, neither centre right or centre left have a clear win.

We’ll see what happens come September

No problem, friend.

Feel free to ask if you need some help setting stuff up and good luck!

Yes, end-to-end. Only you have access to the files. Proton does not.

Yes Sir.

I do a backup of Proxmox to the NAS once a week and auto-delete anything older than one month, and I upload those and all pictures and critical files to the cloud. Critical files being personal data, information about the house, insurance papers etc.
Personally I use Proton and have 1 TB, which has been more than enough. It is also encrypted.

Movies, music and TV shows are not backed up as I don’t consider them critical at all. It can all be re-downloaded if needed.

I know there is unRAID and TrueNAS, but I went with a traditional NAS (Synology, before all the fuckery) and a small N100 NUC on the side.
The NAS is critical for the whole family with backups, pictures and general files, so I need it to be 110%. On it, I just run the .arr stack, Surveilance Station and Qbit, and the NUC runs all my other containers like Jellyfin and Home Assistant. Full access to the files via NFS and it gives me good power for transcoding when needed. Even 4K high bitrate files play seamlessly on WiFi now.

It’s been rock solid and I would probably do it the same way again if I had to rebuild.

Best of luck finding the appropriate solution for your needs, mate!

As a Jellyfin-fanboy: you are right. Plex is easier to deal with out of the box.
Anything else would not make any sense for a paid service.

I’d say though, if you dedicate the time to set it up correctly, it is an equally good solution and it’s free.
If time is a factor in your life, then there is no shame in paying for something that just works. It’s why I have a Synology NAS and not a self-built Unraid or OMV server.

I run Jellyfin on Chromecast with Google TV every day, it works super well.

Unless you mean casting from your phone, then I don’t know.

The ability to watch from anywhere.

Install on the Jellyfin server and share that server (or just the IP with the Jellyfin port) with whoever you want. Now they have access to Jellyfin and Jellyfin only.
That’s how I set stuff up for friends and family.

Yeah I’m Norwegian so only an EEA member as well. I consider Europe as one, regardless of EU membership.
We’re still brothers even though we haven’t joined yet.
Let us keep some control over our coastline to avoid over fishing and I would strugle to find good arguments not to join in the future. We already follow most directives anyways.

That I don’t know.

I subscribe to hers and she to mine, but we just made them the same color so the one who ads stuff first is the one that stays, if that makes sense.

No downsides for me, really. It does what it’s supposed to do and it’s not Google.

If your still on the fence, then I can test editing both ways tomorow. Just let me know. Had a busy day today.

For me it is nothing. I don’t use the VPN and I own my domain, so I keep that if I ever change providers. The calendar works fine.

Ethically I have accepted that a comment was made by someone that should not have been shared, but I also accept that there is not a single company in the world where there are zero people with whom I agree 100%. The only difference is they don’t tweet about it. I am only fooling myself if I think changing providers will make any difference. Maybe the CEO of the next provider is a racist wifebeater…

Their service has been excellent, it’s European which I aim to support and their security is heavily scriutinzed as it’s open source. I sleep well giving them money for an great service.

It does. I use Proton (paid) and she uses Google. Guide here

I agree, but want to add Portainer. Compose in Portainer takes away the scary SLI/Terminal part.

At least for me, hosting stuff went from «I have no idea what I’m doing» to «This sort of makes sense».

Cheers! Will have a look when I have time

Oooo can you tell me more?
I have a UPS and it’s connected to and communicate with my Synology, but the NUC could also benefit from a safe shutdown in case of power outages.
