There has been a fork out for a long time now that is still developed, it’s called syncthing-fork

That’s why I only use immich as a gallery and not as a photo backup solution. I manage the syncing with syncthing.

Plex was always terrible, anyone that uses it is an imbecile.

Tells me everything I need to know that you struggle with WireGuard… it’s dead simple. And can be completely automated so your household literally doesn’t need to do anything and their devices automatically connect to it.

None of those have to be public and can all be accessed with WireGuard. You just proved my point, moron

I didn’t say one piece solution. One piece solutions always make sacrifices and are inferior. That’s why I use multiple solutions that are far superior in reliability, performance, and features.

You have to waste a usb drive to turn into drm garbage for licensing. They do obscure secret sauce shit to make mixed drives work… it’s far better to accomplish the same thing with mergerfs and snapraid as it’s open and documented properly. The whole spinning up docker containes by filling out web forms is just fucking gross.

If you want a server distro with a UI then UnRAID offers literally nothing over OpenMediaVault which is free and open source and offers far more control.

They are extremely annoying to me. Dude pumped Raspberry Pis for far too long when there were so many better boards and options. And now is whoring out UnRAID which is by far the worst fucking option for selfhosters. And nextcloud is absolute fucking ass and that’s all they talk about, never services that are much better solutions. When I really got into selfhosting, I realized that they really don’t know wtf they are talking about and get paid to whore out inferior solutions.

And yet you’ve not provided one example, hmmmm

Do you serve things to a public? Like a website? Because unless you’re serving a public, that’s dumb to do… and you really don’t understand the purpose of it.

If all you wanted was the ability to access services remotely, then you should have just created a WireGuard tunnel and set your phone/laptop/whatever to auto connect through it as soon as you drop your home Wifi.

Because it’s an extremely common phrase that I figured most people here understood, sorry for over-estimating you.

It’s better to setup ACLs instead of VLANs, VLANS can accomplish the goal, but that’s not what they are meant for, whereas that is exactly what ACLs are meant for. I do this with all of my IoT devices. Not a single IoT device has access to WAN, yet I can still remotely access and control them all with a WireGuard tunnel that my phone autoconnects to as soon as I lose access to my WiFi.

It’s crazy when you have to protect a device that you purchased from the manufacturer so you can use it the way you want. I’m in a similar situation with my Firesticks where I block them from updates. I have removed the shitty ad-infested default dashboard/launcher and put my own clean launcher on it. But Amazon began resetting it with updates and started blocking the ability to change it. The solution was to block the update servers domains to those devices on my network, I lose Prime Video and some other Amazon specific stuff, but it’s worth it. I don’t have a dogshit dashboard… I have a clean dashboard iwth only the apps I want: Kodi clients for my NAS, jellfyin client for my NAS, S0undTV, TiviMate, SmartTube… that’s all I need, and all I want to see.

I setup Tasker to do it before there was any other options but now there are apps that will handle this. I’ve not tried them because my Tasker script works perfectly but I’ve noticed this one browsing f-droid and it looks appealing: WG Auto Connect - https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.marionoll.wgautoconnect/

A synced copy of data doesn’t protect against accidental file deletions… that is why RAID isn’t a backup, that is why snapRAID isn’t a backup, that is why syncthing is not a backup, that is why any kind of synced copy is not a backup. Let me know if you’re still struggling with this VERY basic concept… that has had it’s own little phrase parroted for decades, “RAID is not a backup.”

You do realize that it actually does a lot more than that right which is what makes it a proper backup system, right? If all it did was sync a copy of data then it wouldn’t be a proper backup. As I already pointed out, so let me know if I need to slow it down further for you.

You can’t connect it temporarily?

My TV stays on the same input.

Why do so many people do this incorrectly. Unless you are actually serving a public then you don’t need to open anything other than a WireGuard tunnel. My phone automatically connects to WireGuard as soon as I disconnect from my home WiFi so I have access to every single one of my services and only have to expose one port and service.

If you are going through setting up caddy or nginx proxy manager or anything else and you’re not serving a public… you’re dumb.

What kind of shitty TV takes 30s to turn on? Ive never seen one take that long. Smart functions have literally nothing to do with how fast they turn on. In fact a lot of smart TVs, especially with Roku built in, don’t even really ever power down completely, and when you press power the screen is on and ready almost instantly.
