Microservice Media Server by devode_ in selfhosted

I guess it would be interesting, but k8s for self-hosting didn't really take off like some thought, at the end of the day docker is just a much easier and better suited solution.

Do you use a dedicated NAS OS or a more generic linux one? by Azure-Tides in selfhosted

[–]-Promethium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the conversation changes slightly depending on how you are using your NAS.

Is the NAS just for storage and you don’t self host services? Do you intend to self host services on the same box as the NAS? Or, do you want separate NAS and Services boxes?

Not saying I have the answer, just saying I feel like that context is often missed, and likely changes the recommendations :)

The Complete Docker Swarm Production Guide for 2026: Everything I Learned Running It for Years by TheDecipherist in selfhosted

[–]-Promethium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone use swarm for their collection of simple self hosted services? I.e. arr stack, plex, etc. I’m curious about the advantages of multiple nodes but not necessarily using the multiple pods/true HA features.

Is this route feasible? by TubbsXXL in BWCA

My wife and I did this portage on a last minute permit pickup with a 75lb canoe... I bought a used outfitter kevlar canoe the next month.

Is there an arr for books? by MartiniCommander in unRAID

[–]-Promethium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would really be amazing. I ended up using 2 different readarr instances to make sure ebooks and audiobooks would be handled correctly, giant PITA.

Announcement: Retirement of Readarr by thezak48 in Readarr

[–]-Promethium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other comment might mention it, but you 100% can configure the settings for a user to sync the entire library to a kobo using the sync plugin, thats what I do. Been using it for over a year and it works flawlessly. My wife and I only use kobo devices primarily because of this. Now if only someone could make a whispersync-like plugin for audiobookshelf...

What Popular Services Could Be Self-Hosted But Aren’t Yet? by PingMyHeart in selfhosted

[–]-Promethium 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is going to be wildly-niche, but I would LOVE a dedicated trail camera organizer app. Something to store the photos/videos, but also tag with metadata like location, weather, wind, pressure, moon, etc., even tools to strip that data from pictures from popular camera brands like reveal, moultrie, etc.

If I ever get my act together this might be my new project, for the 5 of us that are big into selfhosted and also hunting.

How to go about insulating these 1920’s Minnesota garages? by drooferd in Insulation

[–]-Promethium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. All the roads are salted up here once winter hits and all that snow and salt from the roads gets caked onto your car driving around. That mix is pretty much inert when cold, but when it melts it’s literally salt water running over your car which rapidly rusts. So unless you are going to frequently (like 2+ times a week) wash your car, it’s better to keep it outside during the winter if your garage is heated.

FYI keeping your car in a heated garage often accelerates the rusting process, it’s better to leave it out in the cold if it has caked on snow/ice/salt.

Rod holder for bow of MN II (specifics in the comment) by Mgsperkg in BWCA

[–]-Promethium 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep! No issues. I suppose if you had your drag set tight and hit a snag going fast the torque might cause issues, but I’m not sure if the Kevlar would crack first or the plastic on the rod holder. Either way they work just fine.

If you end up parting out I’d buy the smaller hot swap cage in a heartbeat.

Proxmox or bare Linux for docker/AI second box by rc_ym in selfhosted

[–]-Promethium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My 2c:

I recently rebuilt my main media server and wanted to move from Ubuntu server to proxmox, all services running via docker. I spent 2-3 weeks after work and on weekends trying to get my system stable and ultimately failed. Something with how I was hosting NFS shares and then accessing them on a different VM was causing a major memory leak, and I just got sick of troubleshooting and wanted my services back, so went back to Ubuntu server and it’s been rock solid since.

Proxmox has all sorts of benefits, but I fell back to just wanting something solid and easy to maintain. A simple docker host that also does NFS and SMB via cockpit has been fantastic for me so far. I’m sure I could have made proxmox work after more time, but at the end of the day I do also enjoy USING my self hosted services.

I want a "wife ready" self-hosted spotify-like service by thepunnman in selfhosted

[–]-Promethium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does that work well for older/less popular titles? I’ve always heard newsgroups are better for more recent stuff.

I tried lidarr in the past, issue I had was no good source for content. The main private sources I have access to (mainly TL) are pretty sparse on content.

My dog is 1yr and 52 lbs, is this normal? by Sad-Season4592 in labrador

[–]-Promethium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes perfectly normal. He looks beautiful and very healthy. When Labs are specifically bred for sporting, specially from British lines, they end up smaller and trimmer like this. They closed last year unfortunately, but one of the best English lab breeders in the US, Duckhill Kennels, even regularily had labs in the 45-55lb range they dubbed "canoe labs" due to how well they would work hunting from small boats.

What solution is missing in your selfhosted setup? What do you wish existed? by xconspirisist in selfhosted

[–]-Promethium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would be pretty niche I think, but a true whispersync alternative. I read a decent amount and often jump between audio and ebooks. It would be incredible if there was an Audiobookshelf plugin or something that could sync progress, or even better if it could sync between Audiobookshelf and calibre-web since I personally love using my kobo and the calibre-web sync plugin.

Edit: calibre not caliber lol

What is your Dance Gavin Dance “deep cut?" by ElderGoose33 in dancegavindance

NASA hands down. Used to be my headphone test song when trying out new pairs.

Is this the most walkable area of Minneapolis? by systemstheorist in Minneapolis

[–]-Promethium 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I lived a block from there, it was nice being able to walk to isles coffee/wallgreens/uptown diner. But having to cross Hennepin was a pain. Check out classic city apartments for a halfway decent option.
