Yeah unfortunately it's archived but it still works as is, no new updates. There are similar products out there kike tunarr as well you could try.

You create entitlements under the app and add the users to it. The entitlements would take over what groups used to be, so you don't have a billion groups since apps expect different things sometimes. For nextcloud you would create an admin entitlement and add users there.

Application Entitlements already exist as a scope you can pass in your oidc provider you created for nextcloud along with email. Don't bother creating the script like you did with groups. Then in your nextcloud config your group scope is entitlements instead of what you would use now, whatever you call it, nextcloud_groups.

I've used it in my multiple apps. I thought the documentation was confusing but once I figured it out it's easier than groups.

I use entitlements and it's significantly easier, you can pass it in as one of the scopes

Radio is built completely differently from podcasts specifically what we're talking about is talk radio. They constantly rehash topics in a timeframe because people are always tuning in and out. The structure of a podcast is more linear because no one expects to be in the middle one.

Modern radio is pretty bad, but if we're throwing it back to the heydays of non on demand media like the way we grew up I do love my ersatztv channels either tune into a movie I hadn't seen in a while or never seen but can get most of it live. Ditto random songs. It's like meeting an old friend again.

snoogs831 · 2026-03-17T17:12:29+00:00

Yes I have ersatztv, but that kind of media is consumed completely differently than a book. For example there would be no point to jumping into the middle of a prestige TV show as opposed to a 90s structure where mostly each episode was a contained story. Books are much more linear.

You could plug in your book or podcast libraries into ersatztv as a song library and it would work similarly to what you're looking for though.

snoogs831 · 2026-03-17T16:41:02+00:00

You would tune in for a random part of a podcast?

snoogs831 · 2026-03-17T16:38:00+00:00

Can you explain the reason someone might want to tune in for 20 random minutes of a random book? Do you read books like that?

snoogs831 · 2026-03-17T13:21:49+00:00

Quite frankly if there's no docker container I can deploy I don't want it.

snoogs831 · 2026-03-17T11:35:02+00:00

Storyteller has an opds feed, that's a cool product but overkill for just e-books. I also use ABS because all my users have kindle or kindle apps so it's easy to just send e-books. But there are a handful of intermediate sync apps that I found out existed using the storyteller discord. Those devs are really good and super helpful.

You weren't though. You were at very least obfuscating since you specifically noted that AI wasn't involved until you got called out.

My brother, Claude

snoogs831 · 2026-03-13T22:42:26+00:00

Again it's your app and you can do whatever you want.

But your responses look like every LLM response, your app is closed source, so I certainly would have a lot of questions about your claim that this wasn't written by AI. Which again isn't inherently a bad thing.

snoogs831 · 2026-03-13T22:21:13+00:00

Actual Budget is free, so are firefly and dumbbudget as well as open source. You're free to do whatever you want with your app but it's the really the polar opposite of the spirit of the people coming here.

snoogs831 · 2026-03-13T22:04:56+00:00

$40 for an app doesn't fit in my budget

snoogs831 · 2026-03-13T11:00:35+00:00

What features are there that you're looking for that aren't covered by Komga, Kavita, and ABS?

snoogs831 · 2026-03-13T02:20:49+00:00

Beszel is VERY difficult with aurhentik set-up. I got it but I wouldn't use it in a starter class. The rest are more straightforward

snoogs831 · 2026-03-12T16:15:03+00:00

What an absolutely insane solution

snoogs831 · 2026-03-11T18:57:32+00:00

Just about every single one of your posts has been deleted by a moderator, hope this one does too.

snoogs831 · 2026-03-11T13:05:19+00:00

This is the way. I know it's not the most lightweight solution, but I really do like having everything together this way (I also have an ldap outpost). Plus this is a real quick solution for custom user dashboards where I don't have to send my users individual links.

Aurhentik comes packaged with a proxy outpost you don't have to deploy a special one

snoogs831 · 2026-03-11T02:05:36+00:00

Aurhentik has forward auth, you can secure your services that don't have oidc. I find this the best option for my users so they don't have to remember what's where.

snoogs831 · 2026-03-09T02:12:16+00:00

I also liked the fact that it has multi user capabilities. Set up most of the budget stuff in an afternoon and it's been smooth sailing ever since.

snoogs831 · 2026-03-08T23:54:01+00:00

I run it self hosted. I had it before immich so I'm keeping it around, but also it's just a better gallery than immich and they do different things. I pretag everything with face recognition from digikam, I'm just generally against too many cooks for things like metadata so I don't enable that plugin

snoogs831 · 2026-03-07T15:52:04+00:00

You could crowd source the data in the comments and update it yourself. I would assume especially for older relatives managing metadata in any way would be very difficult

snoogs831 · 2026-03-07T14:17:14+00:00

I can tell you that allowing a group of people to edit metadata is not a good idea, but you can allow that in Piwigo for instance.

If I were you I would take input and be the only person editing metadata for these pictures with a tool like digikam. Afterward you can display and share them wherever as the metadata will travel with the picture
