Take a look at the MeCool boxes. Cheap and modern. If I bought a box today, it'd probably be one of them.

Just Mount it normally

sudo apt-get install nfs-common
sudo mkdir /nfs
sudo mount -o rw,soft,intr,nfsvers=3 192.168.0.2:/mnt/Public /nfs

See that's the weird thing. I haven't removed or renamed any devices and most of the time everything works, but once in awhile I get these errors.

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf avatar

Yup, once I manually trigger the automations, everything starts working again

I stumbled across this video, but I think it could be really helpful in terms of building the cheapest, but best NAS you could on a budget

Centralized User Management Like Plex for eBook Server

I’ve been trying out Kavita as an ebook software, and I really like it so far, with one exception. Accounts are all local to the app, and there is no ability handle user accounts through their site, similar to how Plex does it. This means that every time I screw up and have to set up again over the years, my users will have to...

Are you optimistic about the Jellyfin epub library support?

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf avatar

Because I have a really cool library and it should all be kept in a centralised place

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf avatar

Yeah, I just want something that looks good, can link works by authors and shared universes and can sync reading progress across devices.

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf avatar

Never heard of Zotero before, it seems to be quite capable

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf avatar

Does it work for ePUBs too or just audio books?

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf avatar

Why lol? The library interface is great and it can manage multiple users. I haven't used it for book hosting, but I am trying to keep an eye out

I can't remember what I was watching, but I remember watching something where they said Kubernetes is designed for something so large in scale that the only reason people have heard about it is because some product manager asked what Google use and then demanded that they use it to replicate the success of Google and subsequently, hobbyists also followed and now a bunch of people are using stuff that's poorly optimized for such small scale systems.

Is this method superior to fstab?

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf avatar

So this is my preferred method, but I found the blog post really confusing. Subsequently, it failed.

  navidrome:

What am I doing wrong?

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf avatar

Thank you so much.

One more question, do I have to point it directly at the directory I want or can I point it at one above? Reason being, I have a film directory which I will point Jellyfin to too.

Thank you

Tempo is gorgeous, it's up there with Auxio in terms of aesthetics. That said, I wish it had the feature set of Musicolet. I love being able to switch between queues and never having my randomised playlists reorder the songs because they drop out of memory.

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf avatar

But then what do I do about WiFi? Sorry if it's a stupid question.

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf avatar

Dunno why I find this hilarious, but I do. That said, I need to buy myself a new NAS before I think about one for a friend 🥺

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf avatar

I guess I'll spend some time looking into Immich. Thanks for the suggestion.

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf avatar

The Ente suggestion went right under my radar. It actually looks like a really solid suggestion, thank you.

Plex Alternative

I have all my mp3s on my NAS. Over the years, I've been rating the tracks, standardizing the id3 tags, etc. I love my music collection. But the era of the single device experience is over and as such I need a little more. Up until now, I've been copying tracks over to my phone every time I need new portable music....

The artists tag is a by-product of the streaming era whereby in order to try and get as much money as possible, artists needed to elevate their prominence and so the artists tag was born, an easy way for streaming service to cash in on users searching for featured artists.

Of course the artists tacitly agreed to this, as this meant they could get more money and more exposure, even though services like Spotify should've been indexing features anyway.

Ultimately, this is aimed at eroding the position of artists in the music industry and in particular in hip-hop and rap where the artists generally collaborate more than in any other genre of music, because in order to try and get a fair payday, you have to undermine the actual work of the primary artist.

Put it like this, you wouldn't see a film advertised as a Scorsese and DiCaprio film. It's always a Scorsese film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and for good reason. But in music, they diminish the role of the primary artist as much as possible in order to ensure that things stay the same and the streaming services and labels get the lion's share of the revenue.

Even the fact that the composer tag exists rather than the producer tag shows how skewed things are and how little respect hip-hop garners, despite generating so much culturally and economically.

To go back to the film analogy, the artists tag is essentially a cast tag and I won't deny it has its place, but the director, producer, writer far outside the role of someone who is just making a cameo and thus they shouldn't be on the poster outside of a gimmick.

The artist tag (singular) has rightfully been around forever, the artists tag (plural) is relatively new. You'll see it as "Artist 1;Artist 2" or similar.

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf avatar

Different to album artists, which is good for compilations and producer lead albums.

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf avatar

Exactly. The only reason this was added was to confuse our music libraries.

Trying to get set up on original WD MyCloud EX 2

Okay, so years ago, I bought the original Western Digital MyCloud EX2 (model number: WDBVKW0080JCH-EESN) and have been happy with it, it does what I need it to do, which is store my music and films. I didn't need it to do more than that so hard never needed to upgrade or invest again....

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf avatar

I know HomeAssistant can run on my NAS, so buying more hardware seems like overkill

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf avatar

I was hoping someone could tell me how to get it to run on my NAS. I know people use Docker for it, but I don't know which one or how to? I do have a Sonoff Dongle.

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf avatar

Thank you so much for the time and effort you're putting into helping me, I really appreciate it. Unfortunately though, that's not for the original MyCloud. My version didn't get the update to version 5 of the operating system, which is step one of the instructions you linked, hence the conundrum I'm in and subsequent plea for help. It was kind of a hail Mary, hoping for a miracle.
