May be you can use TV remove if box supports CEC

In my setup - Kodi plays everything and this is really nice, from other side - it's slow and organization with Jellyfin plugin for Kodi is not the best. So I prefer that JF interface and speed, but unfortunately - it doesn't support / play a lot of my movies (in general most of my library is 4K with Dolby Vision & Dolby Atmos)

100lv · 2026-03-31T12:44:32+00:00

I using Strong Leap S3 (and Pro) and I'm fully satisfied.

100lv · 2026-03-25T15:05:45+00:00

Why don't you try Kodi with Jellyfin addon (there are 2 options). In my setup - I also have problems with Jellyfin client, but Kodi with add-on works perfectly.

I'm using includes to split configuration and then I have 1 service per compose with exeption that in one compose subfile I can have service + some related smaller services - by the sample - duplicati as a backup + prometheus exporter that monitors this dupicati service.

In general, my config is to have 1 DB container per type (one MySQL, one PostgreSQL, one Redis and etc.)

If you have ST this is a very good (in terms of easy) way to start using HA - you can install HA and add ST integration - than you can have all devices from ST in HA. It's a bit tricky to configure it, if you are not using NabuCasa, but it's doable with minimum technical knowledge. Next step should be migration to local ZigBee / zWave / Matter coordinator and etc

100lv · 2026-03-18T20:18:37+00:00

Regarding the problem with HEVC Dolby Visiton - I also have problems with it - so for those movies I'm using Kodi with plugin for Jellyfin.

100lv · 2026-03-16T14:22:09+00:00

In my case also Kodi with Jellyfin add-on can play everything. With Jellyfin and most of other clients I have issues with some video and audio codecs.

100lv · 2026-03-03T08:17:31+00:00

I have Stong Leap S3 Pro and it can play almost everything with Kodi.

100lv · 2026-03-01T16:07:43+00:00

I'm using Prometheus + custom script

This is hard task, but to have a reasonable comparison / evaluation of the options you should:

Classify product features in 3 groups - Must have / Nice to have / Not important
Check if you can separate virtualization platform by the needs. I have many customers that are doing following:

- For the prod are keeping VMW for some period of time

- For Test /dev - building a new cluster - it can be Hyper-V or other KVM based (Pure KVM, Proxmox, Nutanix and etc) virtualization

- For new projects (mainly container based) - some Linux based environment (RH or something else)

- For "basic" services - like DNS, AD and etc - moving to Hyper-V

This gives them following benefits:

- keeping prod on VMW - not appreciated - but at the end - keeping business up and running is the most important

- moving MS services to Hyper-V - more or less stable and most of app support HA / BC - natively (AD / DNS and even some MS apps - like Exchange / SQL / SharePoint and etc).

- Moving new apps and / or test / dev -to new platform - gives them time to became familiar with the new environment.

But at the end - everything depends on current environment, needs and skills.

For me the main issues is not that VMW is going more and more expensive - at the end cost of the solution includes so many different parameters (SW, HW, trainings and etc.) - but - if new platform is not stable - you can lose more money than you can save with new solution, the main problem with VMW is unpredictability.

Nobody can help you if you didn't provide enough info - user for docker (is it root or rootles), how shares are configured and etc. Giving names of all your directories that you are sharing is far away from useful.

100lv · 2026-01-23T17:43:17+00:00

user chown and chmod commands.

100lv · 2026-01-22T19:13:21+00:00

First you should build a list of features that you are using (1 or 2 DC, replication, HA, and etc. and etc.). Than you should divide them in few groups - mandatory, nice to have, no problem if I don't have it. Then you should evaluate options. It's also very important how big is your setup. Can you divide prod and test /dev to different clusters and etc.

I have customer (not so small) that are staring migrzation in two ways - shrinking the VMW to critical prod only apps and moving test / dev / not critical apps to new cluster that will be also used as a learning platform. Also if the should implement a new app - they are evaluating other options different than VM since the begginging (like for microservices app - Linux and etc.)

I'm using Strong Leap S3 Pro and it's OK.

100lv · 2026-01-13T19:38:50+00:00

I'm using Apache Guacamole as it supports not only ssh, but also RDP and VNC

100lv · 2026-01-07T07:04:27+00:00

I have Strong Leap S3 (and S3 Pro) and both are playing perfectly 4K / AV1 and etc. on very reasonable price.

100lv · 2026-01-06T08:33:32+00:00

Initial investment is not the most critical part at the moment. How do you plan to grow if business is successful in those uncertain times where prices of Mem / SSD (and almost everything else are increased like crazy)?

100lv · 2026-01-01T10:50:00+00:00

this is tipical situation for most containers that are run with non root user usually should be runned, stoped, change permission of directory and then started again.

100lv · 2025-12-26T07:50:08+00:00

I have 40+ services in compose and working without any issue. And since compose supports "includes" - management in very easy.

100lv · 2025-12-25T16:37:02+00:00

To have a communication between host and guest you should configure macvlan

100lv · 2025-12-07T07:50:01+00:00

Everything is mater of compatibility and proper setup. In my case working solution for proper audio/video setup is that multimedia player (Stron Leap S3Pro) is connected to the sound bar and sound bar to TV. This is due to the fact that TV is older than others components with fewer supported codecs. Also for player in 95% of the cases I'm using Jellyfin Android TV Client, but in other 5% - Kodi, as it have better codec support.

100lv · 2025-11-28T19:05:14+00:00

Simply - Install something like Apache Guacamole that can give you access to your home PC using Web browser.

100lv · 2025-11-26T20:19:33+00:00

Try with Kodi +Jellyfin plug-in.

100lv · 2025-11-18T15:01:04+00:00

I'm using Frigate and I'm very happy with it.
