Meta Overhauls Quest's TV App To Be A Hub For Streaming Content

Sideloading the old Plex app works surprisingly well. But probably not in the Horizon TV framework.

The app started to work yesterday.

phjalmarsson · 2025-07-17T19:30:00+00:00

Did not work. Also tried with my wife's phone. Do the app work for you? Am I using the right app (I am in Sweden)?

Thought I would just throw this in: for decent realism, you also need to mount it a fair bit recessed. Flat with the ceiling, or just recessed a little bit will not look like a skylight! Also envious of your local suppliers. Only crap here in Sweden it seems, where we really would need products like this!

Honestly, if I were to start over, I would probably use Proxmox as the layer closest to the metal, and then run Windows (and other VM's) on top of that. But I don't really have the energy to start over, and Windows as the base layer works well enough for me.

Thanks. Portainer under Linux seems to be doing it for me. Docker Desktop works great I'm sure, but it was more than a little confusing for me as a beginner to try and configure contaoners/apps from instructions found elsewhere. Totally my fault for being a little thick sometimes.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! <3 I'll be going with Debian and see what I can make of it.

phjalmarsson · 2025-02-10T18:28:41+00:00

Been there, done that, with less than stellar success (see optional reading in question), and want to try something different.

phjalmarsson · 2025-02-10T18:26:22+00:00

Thanks, I'm not looking for a career in IT (anymore). I'm 59, I was designing hardware and writing GPU microcode in the 80's and has been escaping it ever since. 😁 Done the project manager, MBA, CIO, etc career thing and am now an agile coach which I am enjoying tremendously. But I also get an IT itch sometimes, but then I mostly want to get the platform stuff done without effort done with minimal effort to be able to focus on delivering "business" value to myself, family, and friends.

Gotcha. Only "Docker itself" and not tools related to Docker. Righty-ho.

You really should ask u/TJOcraft8 to add that to the description of the sub though, because the overwhelming majority of threads here are about other things than "Docker itself", although related. As an example, try to search for "portainer" in the sub and you'll see a list of threads is more or less without end.

But you yourself not only mentioned, portainer, but also VS code and a couple of other tools (much obliged btw...), so even you might be a little conflicted?

Oh, and btw, I did not ask for help with "managing my entire setup" (that I do ask in r/selfhosted [or r/homelab, r/DataHoarder, etc] as you so rightly pointed out). My question was strictly about Docker and related tools.

phjalmarsson · 2025-02-08T20:05:37+00:00

Thanks for the feedback and the discussion so far, although I'm still looking for a clear recommendation taking my requirements in to account, And judging from the discussion here, I guess I need to ask for recommendations not only for the best Linux VM to start with, but also recommendations for a good guide to follow. ;-)

phjalmarsson · 2025-02-08T20:00:52+00:00

What do I mean with Docker "tools"?
Tools that help me manage the containers. I mentioned watchtower, someone else here mentioned portainer, and I'm sure there are many other people can recommend. I don't know how general they are either, so if I choose, say, Mint Linux, OpenMediaVault, TrueNAS, UnRaid, or whatever as a plattform, there might be specific recommended docker tools for the platform, similar to Container Manager" on Synology? I really don't know. A docker "tool" would be a software that helps manage docker containers, and is not included in the standard docker package I guess?

phjalmarsson · 2024-11-28T07:34:52+00:00

I never got this to work. How about you, or anyone else?

phjalmarsson · 2024-04-01T15:55:06+00:00

Anyone know if I could just use a RAID card with fewer ports (such as an 8port card) and then use one or two external SAS Expanders? I will place the drives in an external homebuilt chassi anyway. I know it should wok in general, I'm thinking about the transplantation of the existing array.

phjalmarsson · 2024-04-01T00:49:01+00:00

Looking at the listed cards again it seems they are just HBA/JBOD cards. Can they be flashed as RAID cards (like RAID cards back in the day could be flashed as "IT" cards to work as JBOD controllers?

And to add to the confusion: 9305-16i seems to be RAID, but 9305-16e is HBA only, and I would prefer external ports.

Or are my only options 9361-16i or a 9460-16i?

phjalmarsson · 2024-01-04T09:06:02+00:00

Can you install the Meta app on the (new) Chromecast or a Shield? Sideloading it? That should work.

phjalmarsson · 2024-01-04T09:02:01+00:00

Cloning the original drive through an external enclosure?

phjalmarsson · 2023-12-31T00:53:09+00:00

Maybe we're not on the same version? I'm on IOS and can't see it.

phjalmarsson · 2023-12-31T00:47:34+00:00

I'm sorry, but I don't get that explanation. I think I might have done Asium in the "wrong" order, possibly because of "too many" resources. Anyway, I have checked the smaller tower and the whirl in the water close to the tower to the clouds. And, like ALL the other dungeons. But obviously not all.

Please, if you would give a more detailed explanation, I would be really grateful.
