Okay, I'll start with configuring pihole for DNS. If I get it, I can just use that DNS and if I need to access a service external I need to register the domain with my registrar?

legoraft OP ,

Will also take a look at the router DNS, thanks a lot!

I'm aware of this. There are a few services I expose, but most of them are local. I just wanted to make accessing local services a bit cleaner.

How do you keep track of your media?

I've started collecting a lot of movies and tv-sjows for my jellyfin server, but I found it quite difficult to keep track of what I already have, what I want and if I have the subtitles and everything for it. What would you suggest to keep track of what is and isn't available on a jellyfin server?...

legoraft OP ,

I also do most of it manually, most of my movies have subtitles downloaded, but I want to keep track of what I still need/have. A spreadsheet does sound simple, but workable

Seems like I didn't look into radarr and sonarr good enough, I'll research them a bit better.

legoraft OP ,
@legoraft@reddthat.com avatar

Oh, sounds good. I'll look into it

Will take a look at ombi

I mostly want some sort of graphical way, I'm often moving a bunch of loose files and seeing them is a lot easier for me when transferring

legoraft OP ,
@legoraft@reddthat.com avatar

I'm using debian, so sftp would be an option, do you use a graphical client?

legoraft OP ,
@legoraft@reddthat.com avatar

how would you do that with a large media library?

legoraft OP ,
@legoraft@reddthat.com avatar

sorry, should've clarified: secure copy, it's an ssh kind of way of copying files to a server

legoraft OP ,
@legoraft@reddthat.com avatar

I mostly want to upload to a media server from my desktop, as that is where I download and manage the files before they go on the server

legoraft OP ,
@legoraft@reddthat.com avatar

I'm not losing them, I have a lot of single files. For example during a Minecraft update, I have to move ~20 jar files and other things to the server. I also try to make frequent backups and I upload new movies somewhat frequently to my jellyfin server, so I want to have an easy way to transfer files.

legoraft OP ,
@legoraft@reddthat.com avatar

will do, thanks a lot

legoraft OP ,
@legoraft@reddthat.com avatar

Do you automate your backups in some way? And can you also use samba remotely

legoraft OP ,
@legoraft@reddthat.com avatar

sounds like a good option, will definitely try this out

legoraft OP ,
@legoraft@reddthat.com avatar

I'm considering this, as I can see by your example, you can add a domain name to the server. How would you go over doing this?

legoraft OP ,
@legoraft@reddthat.com avatar

I'm now considering syncing my minecraft world with syncthing, I already use it for some things but don't know why I didn't think of doing that.

On the other hand, if I have a 100+ gb media library, it seems kinda over the top to also have it fully copied on my local machine. Do you do this?

legoraft OP ,
@legoraft@reddthat.com avatar

I will take a look, thank you very much!

legoraft OP ,
@legoraft@reddthat.com avatar

pterodactyl looks really neat, will definitely look into that. I have a manual system for my media library, so I want to add the directories with artwork and movies manually to the directory which jellyfin reads.

legoraft OP ,
@legoraft@reddthat.com avatar

I'll also take a look at this

legoraft OP ,
@legoraft@reddthat.com avatar

so you basically have a copy of your media library on a local machine?

legoraft OP ,
@legoraft@reddthat.com avatar

sounds good, do you have any docs on how to do that?

legoraft OP ,
@legoraft@reddthat.com avatar

Great! Thanks a lot, this will help
