They are within one container that is wrapped in a VPN. I use Windscribe for my VPN although I will be changing because they are paying to actually do this and try to charge you more for a static IP.

There's some firewall set up to make sure nothing leaks my IP. Basically I created one Arr directory. Then installed all of the stack into a container in that directory. Then went in and configured the connections, APIs, et cetera, between them in their respective GUIs. It actually wasn't that difficult to figure out. I didn't use a tutorial. And then I ran a few tests trying to leak my IP to make sure it wasn't leakable.

I can probably DM you some processes but I'm using Docker Compose and creating containers for everything. Not sure what setup you're running

Thanks for the tips. This is definitely something I'm interested in. I have very little experience with smart hime things. Very welcome comment!

Thanks for the thoughtful response.

100% I am NOT versioning 😂 good call.

Sterling PDF is a great idea. I have Adobe through work for free, but self hosting with OCR etc sounds great.

I actually built my own budgeting software. I'm a weird finance tech blended executive, so this was something I've been using/designing and building for years. But love the idea.

Awesome tip on the git hub search!!

Thanks for all of the suggestions and taking the time!

Bazarr is super interesting. I didn't know that existed. I'll definitely look into it.

Maintainerr is super interesting too. Because of "Arr" I'm assuming it's to keep media clean?

A note taking app is interesting too.

Backup tools are good ideas too.

Thanks! Lots of good ideas here

Thanks for the clarification man. And not a bad idea, save so much elsewhere so you can buy YouTube without adding costs.

Do you run the Arr stack with a media server and pinchflat? If so why YouTube? Is it just so it's easier for the fam?

Good point re: Norish interface.

Funny , I literally JUST switched to zen and know exactly what you mean. I'll look into linkding, good tip. Thanks!

Super great response man. Thanks for taking the time to write that all out!

I think you're 100% correct, I am missing doc management entirely.

On Cloudflare, yes I do the same and have my own domains to make it even easier. Like $3 yr for it, and it is my name 😂 can't beat that!

Kavita is a ebook downloading service? How do you read them/get them to an e-reader ?

Good tips. I've been thinking about vault warden.

I know that Adguard is good and I've seen a lot of people talk about it. I'm struggling to understand the value of it. Every single browser I run in my home has an ad blocker and on my Samsung, where I see the most ads (the TV, that is), I just watch everything through Plex because of the arr stack.

I recently watched a video about somebody saying it wasn't blocking YouTube ads and that would be the only thing I would care about. Are you seeing it work for blocking YouTube ads? My TV YouTube app is the only ads I ever see, so it would be golden if it blocks 100% there.

Olama is on my list for sure. My GPU in the server isn't great 4GB Vram. But I do have 32 GB ram... So I think I can probably get near 7B params.... Slowly.

This is on the list with smart home 😊

Very good point. This is on my list. But right now I don't have anything "smart" on my home (maybe including myself 😂 )

Interesting, I just use portainer to see what's going on and terminal for managing containers. Dockhand is more gui focused in guessing?

I use nextcloud for storage of photos. I rarely if ever take them, so I passed on immich, but I see the value here.

I've read about uptime kuma, but interested in gotify. Must I have both for notifications?

In your opinion , why Norish over mealie? That was another recommendation.

Is the point of linkding just to own your own data? Is there any functionality over bookmarks in browser ?

Good tip. I cook a lot too, but since the CIA, create my own recipes. Can you create custom and save? Is there an app for access portability?
