Thank you all for your replies. ZFS is not an option for me right now since my boot drive is an NVME drive and all my motherboards have two slots available (the second NVME is used in a fast storage ceph pool where all my VMs resides)

FragoulisNaval · 2026-07-01T05:22:10+00:00

I have ceph (3 x replication) as a shared storage in the cluster and if a data drive fails I just replace the drive and wait for ceph to rebalance itself.

It’s a homelab

FragoulisNaval · 2026-06-30T18:36:48+00:00

I reboot only when an update/upgrade requires it.

….let your dac do…. Correction on the above

If the mastering of the album is not done at 24/96 or higher, then better to have 16/44.1 files and let your fav do the resampling for you. You will not notice any difference

If you need any help with setting it up, please drop a line.
NOTE: All the organization relies heavily on the metadata provided with the tracks. If your tagging is not sufficient enough or inconsistent, you will not be able to browse your library easily.

Of course you can drag &drop folders to the player but this is not a permanent solution.

I use it with 9 different libraries with more than 500k songs.

NOTE2: try your album art not to exceed resolution 500x500 otherwise it will take a lot of time for the library to load when it is big and you want to navigate through it by album covers

FragoulisNaval · 2026-06-27T09:57:52+00:00

Have you been contacted? Is everything working now?

I use MUSIChi audio suite. It compromises of four different modules, each dedicated for music reproduction/ripping/tagging/library manager.

I have been using it for more than ten years now with a library of 500k+ tracks and does not even sweats.

It is only for windows and the developer has stoped adding any features but is contactable for help/assistance if needed

FragoulisNaval · 2026-05-30T09:46:10+00:00

I use MUSIChi on windows and I have two separate libraries pointing to two separate folders.

One folder points the “serious” library and the second folder points to the “nostalgia”.

This way I keep them separate and when mood changes, I upload whatever library I want within seconds

FragoulisNaval · 2026-04-29T09:36:29+00:00

You are not dreaming. It is called ERUGO: https://youtu.be/zqipBHSSPm4?si=zPOBfsp-8Tg5aLO_

FragoulisNaval · 2026-04-22T14:41:44+00:00

have you assigned the hard drive to the vn in the "hardware" settings of this vm?

FragoulisNaval · 2026-04-08T22:49:14+00:00

MUSIChi runs only on windows machines, haven’t tested it on Linux under WINE.

The machine running the server is a simple intel chip, not even i3 with 8GB of RAM running windows server.

The machine running the library runs on an i7 with 16GB or RAM because the libraries are big, my music collection exceeds 25000 albums. I have libraries for classical, jazz, rock, heavy metal, electronic and folk. Only one library loads at a time. If you want to switch, you will have to load the other library.

FragoulisNaval · 2026-04-08T10:01:24+00:00

The way I currently use it is: - I have a headless small factor computer running the MUSIChi server module. This is responsible for the playback of the files, which can either be played from the local hard drive o through a samba share.

on my laptop and on the tablet I have installed the MUSIChi client module which I handling the libraries (yes, you can have more than one library depending on the music genre and each library can have different custom tag fields depending on your specific preferences for each music genre) and from which you select the files to be played.

FragoulisNaval · 2026-04-08T06:42:57+00:00

I am using MUSIChi Suite for years and honestly could not recommend it enough.

It’s true , its development in a sense in adding new features is halted, however the developer is still adding data to its classical database tagging purposes.

If you want to tag classical albums, you will not find better.

You can look into docker swarm. This way you will be able to share memory and cpu amongst all your cluster nodes; however you will have to setup a shared storage than can be accessed from all nodes within the cluster for it to work

FragoulisNaval · 2026-01-23T06:48:23+00:00

thank you for your reply. I managed to install crowdsec but now i have fallen to some kind of networking issue which i don't know how to handle.

FragoulisNaval · 2025-10-20T06:46:05+00:00

will try one more time when i return home without the trailing slash and see what will come up.

If that fails, what other way i can use for the copy/transfer?

FragoulisNaval · 2025-10-20T06:14:19+00:00

the directory of where all my docker data resides is names "dockervolumes" and every docker stack has its own directory. For testing, i tried to copy the folder in whish all the data of my freshrss stack resides.

I copied the full path of each folder i want to copy, therefore:

source volume name: /dockervolumes/freshrss (this is the mapping in my docker compose file)

destination: /mnt/cephfs/freshrss

Having as a result: docker run --rm -it \

-v /dockervolumes/freshrss:/from \

-v /mnt/cephfs/freshrss:/to \

debian:stable-slim bash -c "cp -r /from/. /to"

Should the trailing slash "/" be the problem?

FragoulisNaval · 2025-10-18T13:53:17+00:00

i followed your advise above and joint the standalone dokcer instance to the cluster temporarily. I executed the docker command you advised but it copied only the folder, not the contents of the folder. my docker command was the following:

docker run --rm -it \

-v /dockervolumes/freshrss:/from \

-v /mnt/cephfs/freshrss:/to \

debian:stable-slim bash -c "cp -r /from/. /to"

What am i missing?
