Plex was easy enough to set up. I use plexamp on my phone but can access the Plex server via a browser, which includes my music

Douch or turd sandwich?
Either way you’re paying lots of money to watch a man sing that can’t sing. At least with NOFX he wears a tutu too
Kick back, watch it crumble
See the drowning
Watch the fall
I feel just terrible about it
That’s sarcasm, let it burn
I’m gonna make a toast when it falls apart
I’m gonna raise my glass above my heart
Then someone shouts, “That’s what they get”
For all the years of hit-and-run
For all the piss broke bands on VH-1
Where did all their money go?
Don’t we all know?
Parasitic music industry
I had a friend bring up this very topic this weekend and I replied “What would be more creepy and more likely is that the ad giants have algorithms for working out what you’ll buy that are that good that they know what you want before you do and you’re just noticing how good it is”
Yeah I mean I get it because I was also thinking about self hosting for a long time and had a bunch of questions myself.
The problem is that a lot of the questions were not needed, and a bunch of the other questions I answered myself by just tooling around with the stuff.
Great comment btw, it’s a good idea to have a list of the services you’d like to run, in order of importance z then work through it.
I did that then found ways to combine a bunch of services, to the point where I had multiple stand alone VMs that are now just one for Home Assistant and second for Plex and Docker
I see a lot of posts like this and it’s always people overthinking something they haven’t tried to do yet.
So my advice is to just do it.
You may lose everything at some point in the future, Satan knows I have a few times, but because you’ve actually done it, you can do it again.
Now, because you’re just thinking about doing it, it seems like a massive deal because you’ve not gone out and done it yet.
As for recommendations, I use a Proxmox VM with Debian and Docker. My Proxmox does backups, but my Docker compose is also a text document on my PC so I can recreate it all from scratch from that. I also have an idea what I did when I was learning how to do it, and have retained a good bit of that info so I could probably do it without either the backups or the Docker Compose, it would just take longer.
Just do it
To be fair it IS their job to take the piss. It is just that they should be processing it instead of pumping it into rivers and such
Commenting just to add “nofail” to the fstab.
I didn’t do this in Proxmox and then the drive stopped working and so did Proxmox. As a noob I ended up starting fresh and losing lots.
After adding nofail the services start up, just without the NAS attached. Without nofail it just doesn’t boot.
Nofail for the win
I’m running Proxmox on a mini PC. I have a Debian VM for streaming and a Home Assistant VM.
Runs like a dream
About fucking time a positive step was made.
Just Google “Booting a pi from an SSD” and follow the steps
I can’t remember the steps (they were simple though) but when my Home Assistant raspi SD card died, I bought a 128gb SSD from AliExpress and a usb-sata cable.
I then did something to the pi that meant it can boot from the SSD, and flashed the SSD using Balenetcher or RUFUS or whatever (same program I was using to flash my SD cards basically).
Then it was just a case of plugging in and turning it on.
Runs exactly the same as with an SD card with less dying because SD cards aren’t meant for a lot of read/write but SSDs do.
…can you tell I didn’t read it? Thanks for that. 9% is fuck all really innit?
When they tell you a number is so you go “HOW MUCH? WOW” when they should be telling you the number as a percentage of profits.
0.5% of yearly profits doesn’t sound as big does it? I mean I’ve made that number up, but the point stands.
In a community without a lot of content, complaining about added content is a bit rich, but some people are just dicks, it’s a fact of life.
Scroll on with your day
It does. I use Mosquito but I believe HA has a built in one too. Mosquito was easy enough to set up though.
Honestly MQTT is like the nervous system of my HA setup. I started using it with Tasmota when I Tasmotised all my cheap WiFi bulbs, then opted for Zigbee2mqtt for my ZigBee setup.
But I also have things like my bedside clock (an old phone running WallPanel), my doorway tablet (a Nexus 7 running Fully Kiosk Browser), my PC and even my alarm clock app on my phone, all running through MQTT.
I even had Tasker on my phone communicating with HA via MQTT before I gave up on that. It’s really useful
Just set up MQTT in home Assistant, why not?
I think you should have a thin sheet of steel kept in your car or somewhere safe, so you can just use that like a locksmith.
