A few jellyfin via container set up questions - Lemmy.World
People resoundingly suggested using containers. So I’ve been reading up. I know
some things about containers and docker and what not. But there are a few
decision points in the jellyfin container install instructions that I don’t know
the “why”. Data: They mount the media from disk, which is good cause it’s on a
NAS. But for the cache and config they use docker volumes. Why would I want a
docker volume for the config? Wouldn’t I want to be able to see it from outside
the container easier? What am I gaining by having docker manage the volume?
Cache: I saw a very old post where someone mentioned telling docker to use ram
for the cache. That “seems” in theory like a good idea for speed. I do have 16gb
on the minipc that I am running this all on. But I don’t see any recent mentions
of it. Any pros/cons? The user. I know from work experience that generally you
don’t want things running as root in the container. But… do you want a dedicated
user for each service (jellyfin, arr*)? Or one for all services, but not your
personal user? Or just use your personal user? DLNA. I had to look that up. But
I don’t know how it is relevant. The whole point seems to be that jellyfin would
be the interface. And DLNA seems like it would allow certified devices to
discover media files?
Multiple copies of movies in various directories... is there a reason?

Multiple copies of movies in various directories... is there a reason? - Lemmy.World
I have jellyfin, qbittorrent, radarr, sonarr, prowlarr. I end up with copies of
things I download in two places, media folder, and then in a radarr or sonarr
subfolder. Radarr and sonarr are configured to have their own dirs. Jellyfin has
media libraries for movies and shows pointing to those same subdirs. But
qbittorrent has a default save dir of the media dir. If I delete something in
jellyfin, it gets deleted only from the subfolder, not the media folder.
I thought that radarr and sonarr would tell qbittorrent where to download to…
and it would be their subdirs. So what is making the copy in media? And is there
some reason I should have these extra copies?
Building out my jellyfin media server question

Building out my jellyfin media server question - Lemmy.World
So my plan based on reading was to get a mini pc and a nas. But then I realized…
what is the best way to connect them. So I started doing more reading. And I
confused myself. So a NAS has it’s own CPU and such, and other computers can
talk directly to it over the network. But if I am using a mini pc to run the
server, then I assume I would want a really fast direct connection to the
storage. So it seems like I would want the NAS to be on the network as well as
directly connected to the mini PC. And of course the mini pc would need to be on
the network as well. Stuff I saw about connecting them directly seemed to pretty
much use the Ethernet ports and a crossover cable. So that would mean that both
devices would have to have two Ethernet ports, right? And the bonus question is,
would it just be better for the NAS to really be a dumb DAS for the mini pc
instead?
The intel chip issues and jellyfin servers

The intel chip issues and jellyfin servers - Lemmy.World
So I am finally going to get around to setting up a dedicated media server with
network storage and all that. I have previously read up and decided on this
Beelink Mini S12 PC
[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BVFS94J5/?coliid=IT7DQ5E4P2BDG&colid=3AHNRFLS6KYL9&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1].
But I have heard about lots of problems with some of the latest intel chips and
such. Does that affect this mini pc?
And since it has been nearly a year, is that still the best idea for a media
server? I mostly want it to be quite since it is always on, and I don’t want to
hear it down the hall in my bedroom at night like my current windows pc. But
outside of that, whatever works best. It seems pretty inexpensive compared to
what I was expecting.
How do you rate stuff you view and get recommendations

How do you rate stuff you view and get recommendations - Lemmy.World
I have jellyfin with the radarr/sonarr/prowlarr combo going. I can “heart”
things in jellyfin. But it’s recommendations are only things I already have
downloaded. I see discovery in radarr, but no way to tell it if the movies I
downloaded were good or bad. So I must be missing something.
What do I do when I get a bad download (ads)

What do I do when I get a bad download (ads) - Lemmy.World
I downloaded the movie ISS. It has some add for a website overlaid on top of the
movie, and even ads in the middle. Is there a way to report it or something. I
couldn’t even get qbittorrent to tell me where it came from.
Which specs matter for a jellyfin mini server?

Which specs matter for a jellyfin mini server? - Lemmy.World
I am pretty new at all this. But I got jellyfin and such setup on my window box.
I have a roku client and all that working. So now it is time to look into a
standalone box to run 24/7. But I don’t know what specs matter. I have read that
I need at least a 6th gen intel i7 or i5 to take advantage of a feature that
helps with this sort of thing.
But outside of that. Does ram matter? How much of a drive do I need on the box?
(Going to get a NAS for real storage). Any other specs that matter? I am hoping
to go fanless (not because I know anything, but cause I want it to be silent),
is that ok? And which flavor of linux is the most popular?
organizing incoming files (noob question)

organizing incoming files (noob question) - Lemmy.World
I am sure I am just missing something simple… I have prowlarr -> sonarr/radarr
-> qbittorrent -> jellyfin I created three directories. /jelly/video /sonarr
/radarr. I configured sonarr and radar to use their respective directories. And
I configured qbittorrent to use /jelly/video as the default download dir.
But what seems to be happening is that if I download a movie, it ends up in both
/radarr and /jelly/video. And then if I delete it from /jelly/video it doesn’t
seed for others. What am I missing here?
Sailing safely with a VPN - Lemmy.World
I have read some stuff about how if you are logged into like your google account
while on your VPN you have pretty much given yourself away. So first, is that
accurate? I just got a mullvad vpn and am using their browser. Created a new
lemmy account. And I shut down my other browsers before connecting to the vpn to
be on the safe side. Is that necessary? Anything else I need to do to sail the
high seas anonymously and safely. I am looking to start finding all the movies
that never seem to be on my many streaming services, but want to be safe about
it. Thanks
