I realize it's not a satisfactory solution, since you won't be able to use facilities like artist/album/etc to explore.

But in navidrome I think you can make a smart playlist based on file path, which you could use to include all of YOUR songs in the playlist if it is in a different root path.

Also symfonium

WebOS app for me has been working like a champ for a long while now. It's so nice that it just works with my existing remote and everything.

Blocked all traffic to my TV at the router except local, and now it's a beautiful, free beast. Love the jellyfin crew.

I can't speak for any specific version - but for awhile it was the same for me, but they eventually made a WebOS official release so I no longer have to fuss with developer mode.

Since it can't reach the Internet since that point ( maybe a year ago?) I can't vouch for if any update would have broken that

• Server - Desktop Tower

  • Build - Intel server board & CPU based on old serverbuild naskiller guide
    • OS on SSD
    • ZFS ON 8 6TB DRIVES, YIELDING ~36TB of storage, recoverable with up to two failed drives
  • Runs (via docker)
    • Navidrome (webui used daily @ work, dsub on phone, feishin on desktop)
    • Jellyfin (used almost exclusively locally on my TV, occasionally to watch with friends on web)
    • Nextcloud (used occasionally, mostly backs up password files, etc or to share. Thinking about replacing.)
    • QBitTorrent with glutun VPN
    • Audiobookshelf - used frequently for audiobooks. Occasionally for podcasts. Often more convenient to use antennapod/pocket casts on phone for active podcasts)
    • Kavitas - used seldom. Thinking about stopping. I like using obps on my rooted kindle to access my library.
    • Changedetection.io -watch some sites for new products, etc
    • Kiwix (local wikipedia copy I use shortcuts in FF locally to search for things)
    • Homepage (local links I use on local machines to my services)

• Raspberry pi

  • Adguard home & unbound - block most garbage for any traffic from my home

Thoughts - I'm considering downsizing. I don't really need all that much space, and it can be a headache at times. With drive replacement costs on top of power (~$320 a year) I consider either going to a vps or downsizing to what could run on a small compute like the n100 or a raspberry pi5, etc.

Proton, some of their paid exit nodes support P2P

Thanks! I need to look more into what the power implications of 8 drives is - they never spin down, so I assume they are a non-trivial portion of my power consumption.

That said, I've been considering upgrading to something recent and low power anyways. It would be a good opportunity to sneak in some useful features too,

• Maybe the possibility of transcoding a video stream
• USB3 (not a huge deal)
• Non VGA display (useful, for when connection issues arise)
• Audio jack (I could use navidrome jukebox mode!)

Which the old hardware wouldn't support without adapters, cards, etc.

Responding to myself...

Datasheet reports 7.05 idle watts (~11w at active random read) so depending on what it considers idle, it'd be 8*7.05|11= 56.4:88W

Server clocks in at ~102W. Halving the drives would reduce the power by 27 : 43%

And in theory other components (motherboard, CPU...) must be using anywhere from (102-88) :(102-56.4)= 14 : 45.6 W.
