Gluetun is a great example of “I changed nothing and it suddenly works”. I’ve had to set up this exact docker container several times, and it usually takes me a week of retries until it chooses to work. I wish I had better advice for you

If any of you can get the Pi-hole integration to work, let me know how you did it. There’s a github thread about it, but I haven’t heard any progress

It worked for a long time until an update pretty recently.

So I’m expecting a max of 5 concurrent users, but most wouldn’t need transcoding. The real hiccup (brace yourself) is a 720p CRT and (assuming I get transcoding to work well) a 480p CRT. I’m pretty novice to PC specs outside of the “buy whatever you can afford for gaming” mindset, so any suggestions there are welcome. My budget is…whatever it takes to not regret the hardware years from now. My last build was $2k for reference

That’s my goal: use the NAS as a NAS, use a computer for containers and the like. I’m using Seagate Exos for the NAS exclusively

In hindsight, I didn’t explain myself well enough. My plan is to use my current NAS as a NAS and little more; I’d like a machine with respectable hardware to handle what my NAS is currently running plus more.

My NAS has Jellyfin, arrs, all the stuff that goes with that, Pi-hole, and Homarr. And that’s pushing its limits: everything has been slow, streams freeze, I’ve had containers quit, etc.

I’d like to get into other projects like Radicale, Mealie, ErsatzTV (old PC could handle it, NAS can’t), CCTV, and more. But according to my resources, the NAS can’t handle it

GPU (for the sake of transcoding) isn’t worth it?

Good looking out, I had no idea that was an option

That’s a great question…redundant ports and all that

Thanks, that’s some of the info I’m needing to make the jump over. How’s the learning curve? One of my big concerns is wrapping all of these things under Tailscale. It was easy on Synology, but Proxmox (I imagine) isn’t as straightforward. Eventually, I’d like to switch to headscale, but one thing at a time

It’s 4 bays, and we’re eating that space up quicker than I imagined

What do ya know, yet another day of being happy I never invested in Plex

Every bit helps

As someone that struggles with networking, I’d love to hear what you’ve found and how

Fair enough

This is the first I’ve heard of Tailscale=/=infallible. As a long-time user, should I switch to a different setup?

I saved the post because I’ve always been interested in aggregating a RSS feed, but I need ideas for what to subscribe to. Thanks for making the post

I respect your opinion, but I’ll pass
