#MySoCalledSudoLife #Jellyfin@elena This post is super timely. I'm just getting going with self hosting myself. I'm just using an old desktop that I think I got when my father in law passed. I threw Linux Mint on it and got Jellyfin going.
We hit thrift stores and yard sales and I rip DVDs during the work day since I'm remote.
My current self hosting project is FreshRSS. So far so good!

#MySoCalledSudoLife #Jellyfin@elena Jellyfin is awesome, I'm running it for couple of months in container with data on NAS (same as other services I self-host).
I don't think it matters that much how your setup will look like. I would consider how it fits the current hardware setup you use, how the service will be accessed and how will be the data protected.
For start and confirming it works for you, the easiest setup makes sense.

#MySoCalledSudoLife #Jellyfin@elena Jellyfin is the favorite tool I'm self-hosting. I've put a ton of work into ripping our physical media, but it's absolutely worth it. 🙂

@TimmyMac thanks!
Sorry for the super newbie question but are there tutorials about how to repurpose an old Macbook Air (or Pro) for this? Or is it impossible with Macs?
If you have any recommended readings/tutorials, I'm all ears (I've got two old Macbook laptops lying around).
And yes in my film days I ripped so many DVDs... I have a large library waiting to be organized in Jellyfin -

#MySoCalledSudoLife #Jellyfin@elena yessss! My family and I plan to do the same thing later this year. Thank you for sharing your journey 🙏

@mizkirsten wonderful to hear Kirsten!
I will definitely do a tutorial once I master the process 😅 -

#MySoCalledSudoLife #Jellyfin@elena My primary media usage is music, so I ended up with Navidrome. My only advice would be to look for alternative music apps that are compatible with your Jellyfin service. A good music app is priceless! I am using Symfonium on Android, but I'm sure there are good iOS options.

#MySoCalledSudoLife #JellyfinIt is now 1.5 years for me without Spotify and Netflix. I was so pissed off by their business practices that I made the same decision ;)
I also revived my mp3 collection from long ago and started buying music from #bandcamp. I have a 10 year gap in my music collection because of Spotify. I don't what to imagine how many albums I could have bought from those 1000€+ that I wasted on the subscription over 10 years.
And for Netflix: fuck them. Their client apps are utter garbage compared to jellyfin, and their business practices are shady at best. I will never pay them again. Disney and consorts are IMO the same.PS: what I did initially was ask on the jellyfin forums for hardware spec recommendations for my goal. I'm now running a dedicated little NAS that has about 16TB space (4x 4TB because those drives had the best cost-effectiveness when I was buying). More than enough space. But you can also start small with a Raspberry Pi to experiment first. I skipped that step because I was so angry at Netflix and Spotify 🤣
PPS: I recommend #Finamp as an Android jellyfin music client 👌🏽

#MySoCalledSudoLife #Jellyfin@elena Jellyfin is great. Ive been self hosting (jellyfin and a whole lot more) for some time now (on a pi4 with 8gb ram). its more than enough for me. a note to watch out for though:
you'll probably be watching your movies from various clients. dont expect the pi to be able to transcode them... any new generation media formats will be a problem. so stick to simple formats - h264 does work well.
apart from that, have fun : ) -

@realestninja thanks! I'll be using my Pi5 for it 😅 I just had to wait a little to get a new external drive (it just arrived!)

#MySoCalledSudoLife #Jellyfin@elena I’ll be following closely. I’ll be particularly interested if you try the Raspberry Pi route. Jellyfin has been on my list of todos for a while but my only self-hosting device at the moment is a Pi 5 and I’ve been unsure about using it for this. Torn between that + plus files on NAS or USB hard drive vs. a tower I have available.

@mcc @rotopenguin @Foritus I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Mac OS sparse bundle shrink.
A ZFS bitstream file works roughly that way, though it’s not carved up into smaller, FAT32-friendly chunks. You get one using ‘zfs send’, and you should be able to mount it directly. I don’t personally use btrfs, but I would expect it to have similar capabilities.
Shrinking such a file when data is removed would involve another ‘zfs send’ operation to a new file on the disk, so you would need at least the size of the file in free space.

@mcc I've had some issues with NTFS, mostly if my computer crashes, I need to boot into Windows and do chkdsk /f on them to repair them. Other than that it works mostly fine.
Steam on Linux does not seem to like NTFS (I've had a couple of games work on NTFS but loads more not) but if it's just for archival I guess that won't be an issue?

@mcc @Foritus I don't know of any Linux thing that will automatically grow like a sparse bundle, or take kindly to shrinking at all.
-
@mcc You make an excellent point. Additionally, a 3D printer could also be described as a 1D to 3D filament converter.

@gmarcosanti e salvini quando? 🤣
