jellyfin freezes on TV every 2 minutes
Hi, as the title says, when streaming to the jellyfin app an a fire TV, the video freezes every two minutes. This happens when direct streaming, so it shouldn't be a transcoding issue. Useing the website it works just fine. Any idea how I can find out what this is? Edit: I just noticed, when forcing transcoding by limiting the quality (Bitrate) on the client to lower values, it does not freeze...

How I’d go above this is dependent on how much storage you expect to be using mid term/until you want/can buy another drive.

Must have 7TB ? Swap the 10tb for 2x4TB, then do 4TB parity 4+2+1TB as Data drives.

Is 3TB enough for the time being? Keep the 10TB and use as parity, 1+2TB as Data drives. When full, go for up to another 10TB as Data.

That second option is more upgradable in the future.

I’m guessing everyone meant Data drives by saying “pool”. In unraid, Data drives are the ones protected by parity, in the array. Pools are “out of the array”, not protected by parity.


I tried fenrus before, kinda liked it, but I remember it to be not so performant.


I had authentik before but I found it to be unnecessarily complicated. Its really a nice one stop shop, doing authentication, authorization, even reverse proxing, but the setup/UI is just … Not very well designed. Or it’s so advanced that it’s very far from the no it background hobbyist user


Would be nice if each user could add their own bookmarks so they could use the dashboard as new tab default.


Dashboard - but for users
I host some services and now start to slowly let family and friends use some of those services. for myself i have a dashboard (Heimdall, just because it worked nicely first try and I didn't bother looking at others) and I want to also have one for other users. Now I imagine something like that: - User authenticates in authelia, which passes username in the header to the dashboard. - in the dashboard, the user gets presented with a, yeah, dashboard, with all the services he/she has access to. no login necessary. -no resources are shown to a user, that this user has no access to. any ideas which dashboard could be utilized to do something like that, without hosting multiple instances or preconfiguring all dashboards for all users?

Probably it would be much easier for you to setup tailscale. Just install it on the system you host the other services, install on the other end and use the tailscale ip. It should require minimal effort to set up with the added benefit of not having ports open, and way easier maintaining.

As for wireguard, the allowed up section tells what ips should be routed through the tunnel, it’s not that difficult, but hard to wrap your head around at first. A friend of mine also used to use the Fritzbox Implementation of wireguard and I remember you need to specifically setup what clients you want the tunnel to have access to.

Have a look at tailscale.


To follow up on this: I now use a combination of caddy as reverse proxy and authelia for authentication. In my opinion caddy is the best reverse proxy, it’s super lightweight and the caddyfiles are super easy to read. Authelia is surprisingly easy to get setup. I was a bit hesitant because it looked a little overwhelming in the beginning. When you sit down for half a day and dig into it, it’s really surprisingly straightforward.


I found that before and it’s really interesting. I didn’t really find it easy to understand, though. Maybe I’ll look into it again. As I understand it, you wouldn’t even need caddy, oauth2-proxy itself can act as reverse proxy, right?


It really does look cool. It can be deployed using Docker. I’ll have a look at it.


Well yeah, basic auth is surely the easiest method … though I rather like to go the oauth2/OIDC route.


noob-proof reverse proxy with auth
I am in self hosting for a bit now, have an unraid server and a bunch of services running. Now I want to expose some services through a reverse proxy, but with authentication, preferably google oauth2. I've tried a lot of things, Authentik, Authelia, NPM, and so on. I found everything way to complicated. What I liked the most until now is Caddy with the greenpau/caddy-security module. Very easy config through the caddyfile.... Though the module has to be manually installed after every update of the caddy docker container, thats kind of a turn of for me, since everything else on my server is almost maintainance-free. You have any suggestions? .... also this is my first post on lemmy, since I migrated from reddit. ;)
