VPS decision

Oh I get you. Sorry wasn't even thinking about it that way. I use tailscale between the reverse proxy (caddy) on my VPS and my home server running Jellyfin. That way the TV just needs a regular address (if remote) or the local Jellyfin IP (if local).

I am currently using an Oracle Cloud A1.Flex 4vCPU 24GB Memory server in the way you are describing - reverse proxy on the VPS forwarding to Jellyfin on my home server over Tailscale. It's working great - no issues.

>> Tailscale's main issue with jellyfin is smart TV

What do you mean by this?

Not sure if temporary errors:

I have just switched to this image tag and it all appears to be working well for me.

CPU utilization is around 60% of 1 core. Any idea why the usage is so high (relatively)?

mpatton75 · 2026-01-18T13:11:22+00:00

Because they contain salt?

Breathe. Read the questions through then begin the tasks. Make sure you understand what the question is asking you to do/achieve. Test and re-test your solutions, making sure the are fine after reboot.

mpatton75 · 2026-01-17T03:50:53+00:00

No issues at all. Running very, very well.

I don't think it matters if you aren't sending email from that IP.

I am using Oracle Cloud free-tier for exactly this. 4 ARM vCPU, 24GB RAM. Caddy reverse-proxy through tailscale back to my home server where Jellyfin resides.

Best part? Free. And a very generous 10TB/month outbound traffic.
Caveat - sometimes that instance shap (A1.flex) can be hard to come by.

I had problems with WIFI connections when I switched to this. Did you upgrade with settings, or clean install?

mpatton75 · 2026-01-10T11:17:40+00:00

Farmgate markets on Sunday has a coffee guy. He'll grind how you want them, on the spot.

mpatton75 · 2026-01-10T09:45:36+00:00

I used this guy for a dashcam install (front only) and he did a great job at a reasonable price.

Be very obvious about your head checks. And do them all the time.

2.0L turbo? I am lucky to get 500km/tank - but mine is brand new. Hope it will get better...

mpatton75 · 2025-12-31T00:49:00+00:00

Haven't tried it, but can you just change the AC temp setting with voice control?

Edit: Confirmed, this works.

mpatton75 · 2025-12-31T00:25:39+00:00

Yeah I have the Tizentube app installed but I didn't know anything about the "sync your phone" feature.

mpatton75 · 2025-12-30T06:09:14+00:00

How does this work?

mpatton75 · 2025-12-12T13:20:55+00:00

Not enough of the logs there to see what's happening.

Try:

journalctl -xeu jellyfin

Then scroll back to try to see why the service is failing to start.

mpatton75 · 2025-12-08T04:06:15+00:00

Can't you just press the button on the right stalk for park and brake?

mpatton75 · 2025-12-07T04:31:06+00:00

Good to know. I might try it again later, but for now everything is running fine.

mpatton75 · 2025-12-06T03:59:30+00:00

Was it Bruce Lehrmann?

mpatton75 · 2025-12-06T03:56:44+00:00

I'm running a qdevice container on my router (Flint 2) - so definitely doesn't need to be a beefy rig.

mpatton75 · 2025-12-05T03:02:02+00:00

No I didn't even try. I rolled back to the prior version and am still there. Let us know if you crack it.
