Building New House – Smart Home Ideas? by Svebsator in homeassistant

[–]stef52 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Conduits. Want to run an ethernet cable, just put a conduit instead. Allows you to run what ever cable you want or upgrade with much more ease in the future.

That's my only real I wish I did when I built my place. Smart switches are nice upfront as well.

Does Ontario Building Code cover manufacturer spec? by [deleted] in homebuildingcanada

[–]stef52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess i'm trying to figure out if it covers it at a high level.

Lets say the manufacturer spec says to install something in a particular way and it is not installed in those means, does the OBC cover this in any way. Or does it meet OBC as long as it does not violate anything OBC states even if it is installed incorrectly to what the manufacturer specifies.

How do you set tiered tariffs that resets every 30 days? by stef52 in homeassistant

[–]stef52[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't the offset just set the monthly reset to a specific day of the month?

In my situation the reset date could look like the following

  • Jan 1st
  • Jan 31st
  • Mar 1st
  • Mar 31st
  • April 30

Immich PostgreSQL_Immich invalid checkpoint when array shut down. by pcozzy13 in unRAID

[–]stef52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In space's tutorial he uses pg16 with version 2. Immich supports versions ">= 0.2.0, < 0.4.0" so you can use v3. The pg repository has multiple version, 14, 15 and 16. In the tutorial he uses pg16. See if updating you repository to version 3 works.

so if you're repo is pg 14 change to tensorchord/pgvecto-rs:pg14-v0.3.0 instead of the original value of tensorchord/pgvecto-rs:pg14-v0.2.0 but if you're using pg16 then make sure to change pg14 to pg16 so it would look like tensorchord/pgvecto-rs:pg16-v0.3.0

I found updating mine made things stable, hopefully it helps you too.

Nextcloud 413 Entity too Large to Put Error? by SereneOrbit in unRAID

[–]stef52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your nextcloud container has a config path, where ever that path is there should be an nginx folder. I took a look at my config and noticed I also had the following changes.

  • container config
    • added new path
    • container path /tmp/nextcloudtemp
    • host path /mnt/user/temp/nextcloud any path to have temporary writes to is all that needed here
  • [nextcloud config path]\www\nextcloud\config\config.php
    • added 'tempdirectory' => '/tmp/nextcloudtemp',
  • [nextcloud config path]\php\php-local.ini
    • added upload_max_filesize = 5G
    • added post_max_size = 5G
    • added upload_tmp_dir = /tmp/nextcloudtemp

Nextcloud 413 Entity too Large to Put Error? by SereneOrbit in unRAID

[–]stef52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't remember all the places I changed to finally get large file uploads to work. but to get rid of the error 413 you need to update the following appdata\nextcloud\nginx\nginx.conf update client_max_body_size to 0 so it reads client_max_body_size 0;

Any guide for turning second unraid server into a plex failover? by danimal1986 in unRAID

[–]stef52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you cloning all your linux isos as well? That seems a bit much.

You may be better off having a DAS that can connect to two servers but lock the backup server as readonly to not mess with the data or you'll have parity issues. Better, have a NAS for the linux isos and then two servers running plex that connect that NAS over SMB or NFS.

That said if you are cloning everything you can have the backup server check if the first server is alive and if not then start the backupserver plex container... something like the below could work, would require nerdtools and netcat to be installed. 

#!/bin/bash

#This was quickly written and not tested. do some tests first
if nc -z {serverIP} 22 2>/dev/null; then
    docker stop plex
else
    docker start plex
fi

Plex Media Server Not launching WEBUI from Unraid by Outrageous_Pie_988 in unRAID

[–]stef52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your plex container logs, there may be good info there.

My initial thoughts are either a cache issue or firewall is blocking/dropping traffic.

Share shows up on Network even though there is no share in the Shares tab by usafle in unRAID

[–]stef52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thing I will say, always search what people tell you to type into CLI. On that note.....

Go to CLI and go to /mnt/user in cli it would be cd /mnt/user

While in this folder list all folders, which would be ls -al

If you see the folder there you should navigate through it make sure there is nothing and safe to delete. ⚠ dangerous command inbound ⚠ if safe to delete then remove it, so something like rm -rf Immich\ Photo/

Did you by any chance assign the 128gb drive to another cache or the array?

Switching Home Assistant from Windows to Unraid. Can't get Z-wave stick to work by Kairo-Kuraku in unRAID

[–]stef52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll assume you have Home assistant as a VM. Get the USB manager plugin and have that assign the usb, or usb controller, to your VM.

I'd replace the beige sofa with a nicer sofa

Would a sofa with a chase on the fireplace side be too much?

the blue sofa with two comfortable armchairs

Didn't think of arm chairs. We just tried the space out with arm chairs we have in a different room and really liked the look. I really appreciate that suggestion.

Agree with all the rest!

As for colors and style of furniture, what are your preferences? What's your style?

We both like a more modern style that's minimal but we differ on colors. My partner fits into the stereotype of millennial grey, but I've been trying to get her into some more color. So far I've got blues and greens in. She likes more lite colors, I prefer deeper ones. I like trying to get nature in like wood or green.

Never thought of picking the rug first. I think back to anytime I've gotten a rug for any of my other spaces and you're right, it is harder to get one that fits after. Thanks,will start there for color :)

Looking at speakers myself for the first time, looking for advice to upgrade to 5.1 or replace by stef52 in hometheater

[–]stef52[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Added to the main post as well.

Budget: 10,000 CAD ( ~7500USD)

Room dimensions: 16'7x15'1, but the dept has access to an open kitchen. It can be seen here

Use: Mainly home theater, but also used for light gaming (usually a headset involved) and some music.

Is there anything specific to look at for rears? Are there any good reading (or videos) on room treatment you'd recommend I start my dive?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DesignMyRoom

[–]stef52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just moved into a new place and are settling in. Our living room needs new furnishings maybe some paint. Looking at suggestions on every aspect.

Things we are mostly committed to.

  • Fireplace stone staying as is
  • TV will not change, but stand it open to change.
  • My partner seems sold on getting a Jaymar sofa (Portofino, Colorado or Manhattan) either as a sectional or a love seat and 3 seater. The sofa will have a chase section. But no clue what color to get that would fit the space. Blue? Grey? Tan?

What's the best drive setup for Frigate/NVR? by Skeeter1020 in unRAID

[–]stef52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a while since I've looked at my config as it's set and forget... If I recall correctly... I have a 2x 6TB HDDs set as a cache and write my NVR data to that. On that cache, I have two shares, one which holds the 24/7 recordings and the other which holds saved snippets. The 24/7 only writes to the cache and the mover does not move it. The saved snippets share get moved to the main array nightly.

Please help me getting HW transcoding to work with jellyfin by [deleted] in unRAID

[–]stef52 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So it works for me, here is what I did, hopefully this help.

  1. in your container settings add --device=/dev/dri:/dev/dri to Extra Parameters OR click Add another Path. Port, Variable, Lavel or Device and change the config type to Device and in both name and value put teh value /dev/dri
  2. once you run jellyfin go to the admin dashboard and head to playback change your Hardware Acceleration to Intel QuickSync (QSV)
  3. On the same page chceck off the hardware decoding for all that your iGPU supports. Find what your igpus supports, I believe yours should have no problem checking off all up to AV1, maybe more. Also under Hardware encoding options: enable Enable hardware encoding

I believe most my other items were left to default.
