Interesting... I used to use Jellyfin about a year ago until it suddenly stopped working. Now with new equipment and infrastructure I gave it another shot. I think I have to stick with Emby for now... Thanks for your view!
operator 1 year ago • 50%
I tried Jellyfin for a few days now and have to say I was absolutely displeased by the stability of the clients (except browser) and sloweness.
Figured the bottleneck was somewhere else so decided to just try Emby with a 1-m pass. Emby works absolutely beautifully. No issues AT ALL regarding speed, transcoding, clients, or anything. I click the video a second later it’s up. Even through a VPN. Jellyfin frustrated me sometimes locally via LAN.
However I still want to give Jellyfin a shot. Have you experienced similar?
- both installed in docker on the same host with recommended but where applicable same config.

Looks smooth, I am running Homer (different to Homerr or others). Super easy to configure in yml and looks clean. No fancy features as weather however… or maybe haven’t found it ^^
I do think I’ll give Homarr another try after looking at yours

So I'm in the process of (re-) setting up my homelab and unsure about how to handle databases. Many images require a database, which the docker-compose usually provides inside the stack. Now my question, shall I have 1 database container which is accessed by all containers? Or shall I have a separate container for each service? For critical services, which shall have as few dependencies as possible I'm already using sqlite or a similar solution. Also on a sidenote: I have two docker hosts, can I let the containers of 1 hypervisors use the same internal docker network? TIA!

Unfortunately not at the moment, as all is kinda fiddled and setup manually, but I’m redoing my home lab in a couple of weeks. Send me a message and I’ll send you the docker image or script!
But basically I did the following:
- enable ipv4 forwarding
- configure and start VPN tunnel
- set the default route to the tunnel
- set the gw for reaching the remote vpn server to the local gw
- sets routes for the local network to the local gw
If your vpn goes down, the default route shall still point to the remote gw, but as it isn’t there you also have a kill switch. Voila!
I am looking into gluetun but haven’t tried it yet.
Edit: this doesn’t protect you from someone snooping the traffic inside your local net, but protects it starting from the point where it leaves the local vpngw. The traffic is unencrypted between that and your client.

How does the usenet work exactly?
operator 1 year ago • 100%
What were the biggest pains? What was surprisingly easier than expected?
operator 1 year ago • 100%
What I'm doing is using a dedicated VPN Gateway container. The instances running delicate services have a static default route to the GW-container.
This is an extra step, but allows me add easily route other services or clients or even whole networks through my VPN without additional setup or specialized containers bundling both.
Wanna use it on the phone? Change the gateway address. Wanna use it from my Linux machine? Add a static default route. Etc...
Works flawlessly!
operator 1 year ago • 100%
Of course! So in order to get maximum speed on your services, you wanna use a direct internal route when you're inside your net. My understanding is, that when using an external cloud VPS with a proxy, local clients go through unnecessary routing..
Local request --out--> external VPS (proxy) --request data from internal--> receive data on external proxy --send back--> local client
So what I am saying, all requests are unnecessarily routed through the external VPS. So one would have to create an exact duplicate reverse proxy internally to avoid leaving the net. When accessing domain.com, the internal DNS returns the local proxy IP, when outside you receive the cloud VPS IP.
Or am I missing something?
Thank you for taking the time!
What is the service you are hosting, which in your opinion is underrated? I'm trying to find new tools to add to my lab. Enlighten us! Ps: I'm aiming for unknown tools, so Pihole etc. are out ;)

One of my considerations is the privacy side… VPN or self hosted solution seems to be the waay better choice in that case.
operator 1 year ago • 100%
Haha! Explaining for dummies, I like it.
operator 1 year ago • 100%
Thanks! How do you handle that with internal DNS? I suppose you’d need to setup the exact same proxies on the internal and external server, and local DNS handles which one my domain it’s being resolved to?

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I am running Tailscale as a temporary solution to access some services, but I dislike that you have to set firewall rules basically twice (once in your local network and once in Tailscale). I suppose it would be similar for CF?

Thanks for the write up! I’ll definately check out your blog as well. A cloud gateway is something I’ve considered as well (especially when the costs are around $5 monthly). How do you handle authentication?

One of the mysteries I am facing ^^ selfhost headscale? Tailscale? VPN? CF?
Too many options :D
So everyone is talking about cloudflare tunnels and I decided to give it a shot. However, I find the learning curve quite hard and would really appreciate a short introduction into how they work and how do I set them up… In my current infrastructure I am running a reverse proxy with SSL and Authentik, but nothing is exposed outside. I access my network via a VPN but would like to try out and consider CF. Might be easier for the family. How does authentication work? Is it really a secure way to expose internal services? Thanks!

I read Austria is also the most liveable country? Funny how you can be both simultaneously
So I know my way around Linux pretty well. However I never really got the gist of the difference between Snap, Flatpak and Native packages. What exactly sets them apart? Why does everyone seem to *hate* snap? I have been using all of them, simultaneously on the same system and never really noticed a difference in the way installation, updates etc are handled (syntax ofc). I hear snap sandboxes? Is that the main reason? Thanks for your insights..

Make sure you have backups of your vault. Reliable backups.
Especially if you are just starting off with docker, you don't want to loose access to all your accounts because you f up some configuration (e.g. redeploy an updated image)

Thanks! I have heard of Cockpit and Podman but never used it. I do use Fedora Workstation on my main laptop and find it quite reliable. Can you share a few pros or cons?
I recently upgraded my TrueNAS server to a Synology. While TN has served me well, I don’t have the time anymore to administer it. I’m now using the opportunity to redo my whole home lab - after years that has become quite a mess. I’ll retire my old TN appliance as it requires too much energy and is quite bulky. I’m remaining with 1 NUC and a second knock off NUC with slightly lower specs but 2+ LAN ports What would you do with that Setup? I’ll probably run Proxmox on the NUC and have the second one as a backup, however this one can connect directly to the NAS with a dedicated connection through multiple LAN ports. I’ll mostly run containers and a few VMs (Git, Pihole, Backup Services, …). My Synology supports both but I’d like to keep things separate. My infrastructure is taken care off, I won’t host pfSense or similar. I haven’t looked into best practices recently and would like to learn new technologies as Ansible etc. How do you automate your installations and updates? How does that go together with containers and VMs? Proxmox or maybe plain Debian/Fedora/…? Thanks for sharing!

I can actually *feel* the lack of bots, AI replies and chatGPT comments in the threads. I cant exactly pin point it to a specific trait or writing style but you can feel the humans behind these comments. There is no toxicity, no "in conclusion", no stupid summaries. Amazing. Although I want this to take over Reddit at some point, the small community and lack of publicity we have at the moment is amazing.
