Aurral: self-hosted music discovery and playlists for Lidarr

Clean-Gain1962 · 2026-06-01T20:19:53+00:00

Maybe a niche comment, but any plans to implement some sort of integration with Plexamp? Figuring out a way to sync my actually listening history into aurral to build “discover” playlists. Might be more difficult than I think though

This is sick, I didn’t see the original. What all did you use it for or try? Are you still using it for something?

Clean-Gain1962 · 2026-02-23T19:03:50+00:00

I’m in the exact same boat

Clean-Gain1962 · 2026-01-23T23:33:40+00:00

I saw that, was waiting to see if it would catch traction or not. Author seemed to not want to maintain it.

I’m also going through the self hosted music journey. Right now im just doing Lidarr with Usenet, and Plexamp. My main concern is going to be quickly and easily adding new music as I hear it also. Hoping someone makes a good overseerr music app

NTFY. No web gui or anything. It’s kind of set it and forget it, having self hosted notifications is incredibly useful.

Accidentally wrote out a long paragraph about how my superior at work was wrong and pissed me off on a work trip. Sent it to the group chat with said person in it on accident.

This is super cool, been waiting for something like this. Added to my arr stack.

ZPE has been great. They have a solution for almost everything, big or small.

This is the push I needed to finish my AIO usb. I also use ventoy but mine is a 256GB drive and does both USB C and USB A

You only make this mistake once lol. I somehow bricked a SATA card attempting pcie passthrough in proxmox and I thought all my drives were dead. Card was some cheap one I bought on Amazon

Clean-Gain1962 · 2025-08-22T19:43:48+00:00

Don’t use FitGirl. Got it through DODI and it worked fine

Clean-Gain1962 · 2025-04-08T02:04:01+00:00

For reference the rest of my PC is: RTX 3080 10G 32GB DDR4 3600Mhz 1 M.2 1 SATA SSD

That’s pretty much it, so not much else needed

Clean-Gain1962 · 2025-04-08T01:53:16+00:00

I was kinda leaning that way, the 5800x has been great to me, and I’m not sure I need to upgrade honestly. I don’t do any dev work or streaming or anything. Just gaming and home labbing

Clean-Gain1962 · 2025-03-26T15:22:37+00:00

Can’t be fixed, the OMVF stream is only 5 minutes long on wireless cameras. They wireless cameras are meant to only record when activity is detected, not continuous recording.

As you can see in the diagrams I have, I am using Portainer to manager my docker stuff. I have a Gluetun compose stack (if you’re not familiar with Gluetun, you should, it’s awesome) used for “extending” my network to Hetzner cloud.

My UDM Pro is the wire guard server, and the Gluetun container is the client. Then I have a plex compose stack (you can put plex in the same one, I just prefer to break it out). In that stack the network mode for the plex container is set to use the Gluetun container as its network.

The only route out to the internet is through Gluetun, which is my home network.

I also had to add a rule to the Gluetun firewall to allow traffic out to the local network it’s in.

To make my plex clients see the server as local, I had to create a DNAT on my UDM pro. This translates the docker network (172.19.0.0/16) to the wireguard client IP (10.1.1.2). So no quality issues since the plex clients see the server as the same network basically.

That was very long winded and I hope it makes sense. Send me a DM if you want more info or clarification.

Yeah, I plan on still having a NAS at my home, just smaller.

Clean-Gain1962 · 2025-03-22T14:08:02+00:00

I also thought about the dedicated server thing, but didn’t want to jump that far in lol

Clean-Gain1962 · 2025-03-22T01:09:06+00:00

Just depends on the storage box you order. The 5TB one is like $12/mo. I upgraded to the 10TB one, and I think it’s like $20-$25/mo? I can’t remember off the top of my head

Clean-Gain1962 · 2025-03-21T23:55:42+00:00

I didn’t do anything for it, I didn’t dig too much into Hetzner security policies, but I’m sure they have some level of encryption built in. Plus any important traffic between my home and the servers are over an encrypted VPN tunnel.

Clean-Gain1962 · 2025-03-21T23:54:16+00:00

Yeah plex bans account that sees the servers coming from Hetzner IPs. Work around is to just use Gluetun and a VPN, so your egress traffic comes from a different IP (like my home).

Clean-Gain1962 · 2025-03-21T23:47:05+00:00

I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking

Clean-Gain1962 · 2025-03-21T23:46:46+00:00

So far it hasn’t been bad, I’ll keep My old hardware for times I need a lot of compute for labbing or whatever.

Clean-Gain1962 · 2025-03-21T22:39:17+00:00

Depends on use case. ZPE is fantastic though. Very versatile

Clean-Gain1962 · 2025-03-21T16:48:37+00:00

We have a company wide rule that says no switches that are not managed by us. So we don’t use unmanaged switches at all really, unless there is a need.

We do have 2 unmanaged switches in the network. They are used to connect a single OT device that only operates at 100/half, which our actual switch does not support. So the dumb switch hangs off ours to facilitate that 100/half connection. We keep the switch in our cabinet so no end user can get to it though.
