In my country pi4 8GB ram with PSU 130€ and then you need SD card and/or SSD


I went for wireguard VPN instead of exposing services. Its much more safe afaik, but you have to configure each device you want to give access (aka scanning QR code). You also dont need to buy a domain for that. Exposed services would be easier to use, especially if you want to use it on many devices


Im using npm with letsenrypt for local network only, but couldnt find a way to use pihole gui without /admin. So I have bookmarked pihole.domain/admin



[SOLVED] Cant access local services when using VPN (AirVPN)
[Solved - I was blind. I had to enable local access and disable DNS Switch mode in Eddie] I wanted to edit main post, but fatfingered delete button.... Solved in meantime, but reposting just because of that, sorry about that... I couldn't access local services running on home server (not exposed) while VPN connection is active (Eddie). Fellow selfhoster told me to check if I have enabled local network, then I also found settings where I had to disable DNS Switch mode which is solution! Thank you

Access local services when using VPN (AirVPN)
Hey guys, I have some services running on home server (not exposed) and I also have AirVPN subscription. I'm trying to use AirVPN (for browsing) on my PC running POP OS with their app called Eddie, but once I connect to VPN server I cant reach my local services using custom DNS records. So I have to type http://IP:PORT or disable VPN to access it. I have pihole with custom DNS Records that points to NPM on the same host. I understand that VPN cant resolve my local DNS, but is there any solution to use both at the same time? Edit: I do have static local IP set with custom DNS (server IP)

It works just fine for me, but I’ve heared scary storries so now Im using:

  1. Kopia to backblaze b2 (all data)
  2. Kopia to local disk (all data)
  3. Duplicati to google drive (only 1 folder)


Listen to this guy, he obviously knows better than I do, I was doing that long time ago and dont even remember completely. Was just trying to help while you wait smart guys to answer 🤣


Im not 100% if that changed or not, but if you are using raspberry pi I think you still need sd card to boot from SSD. The way you install it is actually installing OS on both of them and then doing some tricks to boot from USB after initiall boot from SD card. Once you start your OS you can unplug SD card, but still need it for next reboot. Maybe there is a good way how to clone, but deffo not simple as regular cloning.

You can just add SSD as a storage and move docker volumes and catch folder to it (not sure about omv tho), but that wouldnt move your OS.

Many SSDs failed on me, but never SD card in raspberry pi. I do use high quality cards tbf and Im aware SSD is much better for OS, but feels like its all about luck. Just my 2c


Just install 2nd pihole on your synology? You can split DHCP across piholes and a router. Like one can handle IPs from 0 to 100 etc. I have 1 pihole on raspberry, another one on server and DHCP is done on the router.


Idk is that wrong but I made up server name tride so .tride is my local domain


25w pc with 3 SSDs and idk how much w for rpi running 2nd pihole



No offense, but Im certain it is hardlinking and not copying 😂 That is exactly how hardlinking works. Both files are 1GB and together also 1GB. If you want to stop seeding - delete in torrent folder, if you want to remove it from jellyfin - delete in media folder, if you want to remove it completely - delete both.

And you can remove them with radarr/qbit, no need to browse the folders



Idk is it jellyfin or bazarr (probably bazarr), but subtitles are working fine here.


how do I change the root folder within radar?

Settings->Media management->Scroll down to bottom

I have set this up but qbittorrent still saves them in my /data/torrent folder

That is probably your default qbittorrent download path, but thats fine. There are settings for what happens when you open torrent file or magnet link.

And make sure radarr torrent client saves to same category in qbit.

I can get jellyfin/plex to work ok

Be more specific

Radarr is then copying my files to my media folder instead of hardlinking.

Are you sure about that? Data exists in both folders, but doesnt use double size on disk. If you delete one - the other one remains, if you delete both they are gone. Check your disk usage before/after radar “copy”


So for all docker apps use just /data and for jellyfin you can use /data/media

In Radarr: add root folder /data/media/movies add download client with radarr category

In qbittorrent: Eddit your radarr category and set download path as /data/torrent/movies

In jellyfin: Add movie library with path /data/media/movies

So when you add a movie in radarr, it will start downloading it in '/data/torrent/moviesand once its finished it will be renamed and hard linked todata/media/movies`

Hard linking is by default, but you can check in Settings - Media Management - Importing (make sure to enable “advanced” in radarr)


Jellyfin ftw

I didnt use any speciall features on plex, but for me the only advantage of plex was the abbility to have all movies/tv shows in one folder. After switching to jellyfin and *arrs the folder structure is sorted so I have 0 reasons to consider plex again
