It looks nice, but honestly, once I set up everything (which I do on each of the *arr anyways), there is nothing left to be managed. That‘s the whole point of this setup, to get rid of managing things manually.

So even if I love that project and am very appreciative for all the work, I don’t have any use case in my setup that would want me to use this.

People still think this is a suicide pod, while it is used by robots to generate electricity.

Yeah the Open Source version. I doubt that the hosted version is using that. Cloud providers have super fast DB’s that are basically compatible with the MySQL syntax

My question was ironic, implying that anyone using it in a productive system/software/service is doing a very bad job at software architecture. I avoid any product relying on super slow software pieces.

Well, who is using mysql/mariadb nowadays anyways? If you haven’t made the switch to at least postgres in the past 5 years, you messed up anyways.

system32 is legacy crap anyways and is not used anymore. Everything important is stored in system64

DNS? Why so complicated? Just edit your hosts file 😏

Agree. I just got it for fun and because it was cheap. I used it for my disposable e-mail addresses but now switched to .org

Also, don‘t use it for any mail servers. Spam Assassin gives a negative score by default on *.xyz domains. Stupid as shit, but I had to learn the hard way.

My HA is running in docker. It is easier than you might think. Forget about LXC. And just take your time migrating the stuff and only when the service works in docker, you can shut off the VM. Believe me, management of docker is way easier than 5 VM‘s with different OS‘s. Docker Compose is beautiful and easy.

If you need help, just message me, I might be able to give you a kickstart

I was assuming you were able to get rid of the other 5 VM‘s by doing so. If not, obviously you would have not less overhead.

Add a new VM, install docker-ce on it and slowly migrate all the other containers/vm‘s to docker. End result is way less overhead, way less complexity and way better sleep.

I‘m the author of this one and currently it is kind of a mess. Focus was on downloading stuff via usenet and torrent and now many home automation tools came along:

Clearly this man has never read

So I‘m a Synology user for years (currently a DS921+ with a DX517 extension) and use it mainly to store movies/shows.

For you here are some things that might be useful to know:

• Consumer NAS are massively underpowered in terms of CPU and RAM. Both is needes if you run a few Docker containers. Especially the transcoding of media files is very CPU intensive.
• using a very small „compute“ node, like an Intel NUC, takes care of this problem. I run all Docker containers on this one, while I use the NAS only as storage.
• Consumer NAS are super easy to setup and also to scale, in case you need more diskspace.
• I was never a big fan of Plex for various reasons. I use Emby and I‘m very happy about it. I also hears many good things about Jellyfin

Lazy people, I got you:
