Yep, bind mount the data and config directories and back those up. You can test a backup by spinning up a new container with the data/config directories.

This is both easy and generally the recommended thing I’ve seen for many services.

The only thing that could cause issues is breaking changes caused by the docker images themselves, but that’s an issue regardless of backup strategy.

You’re right, but people over a certain tax bracket are also pretty good at not paying taxes.

Yeah, that would be my recommendation too. Anything else will produce a worse experience (laggy and slow) and more complexity to get setup/maintain.

Some of the commands I use a lot for debugging containers, in case you go down that route:

• docker run --rm -it --entrypoint bash <image_name>
• This command let’s you enter a docker image with bash so you can test commands and treat it like a temporary VM. Great way to see how the image is setup
• docker exec -it <container_name>
• This let’s you enter a running container with bash. A great way to inspect why something might not be working or check mounted volumes, etc.

Once you know how to use docker/containerization it’ll be the only way you want to deploy applications. Most popular applications will also have good guides on how to setup/config the container, but sometimes you’ll need to read up on docker and Linux to figure things out.

I mean, there is a lot wrong with it, but every language has its quirks. Generally I like discussing it’s actual flaws cause it helps me better understand the language.

Maybe I’m missing something, but:

• Python Lambda Functions - https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_lambda.asp
• Python map - https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python-map-function/
  • They do have list comprehension, which let you basically one line a map operation more intuitively too.

For me, it’s worked out for plex. What it offered at the time was more than worth the price and I’ve felt a little bad about it being a once and done payment.

That being said they’ve hurt some of the good will with the changes they’ve made, but also I imagine they’re struggling to find a sustainable path for development.

I think the easiest way would be to have two vlans on your local network. One that is connected to the internet and another that is local only. I think you’d have to switch networks when wanting to access the jellyfin server in that instance, but would negate the main issue, which is your VPN.

Edit: that’s about the most secure you can get I think. If you bought a different physical router to host it, you’d have about as secure a setup as possible.

I keep expecting something, the lifetime pass has more/less paid for itself.

That being said, they do still offer the lifetime pass, so clearly they see it as worth it.

Samba Bamba!!

Also, whether you see it as a plus or minus, windows wsl defaults to Ubuntu. So, msoft also seems to be somewhat invested in them long term.

Yall don’t have protected branches?

They should just call them import or sales taxes, the average person doesn’t get tariffs.

Plex and plexamp is the best music hosting setup I’ve found too. Users can have their own playlist and there is some smart playlist generation.

They also had (maybe still have) tidal integration.

However, you’ll still be relying on other services (probs spotify/etc.) to find new things.

Appreciate the feedback!

I’ve tried the AIO container. The issue I’ve had is that I already have a file system for documents and try to attach it as a network drive, it’s at this point everything falls apart (not to mention just generally slow performance).

Sorry I can’t really help, but can commiserate. Nextcloud is the one service I’ve never gotten to run right. Not sure if its gotten any better but a year or two ago I was trying and just wasn’t getting consistent results from it.

Yeah, every few months we might get something delivered (sometimes on a rainy day for example), but we made a rule about picking up food once food prices started rising and it the delivery was adding $20 to the orders.

I commented further up, but will add here. I also have a Go 1 and Ubuntu worked okay. Webcam was definitely a no go, but it ran well enough for some productivity and light gaming.

Only thing I really hate is hibernate doesn’t really work on Linux. For a tablet, maybe you always keep yours on, but I liked hibernate to help keep the battery going longer.
