Thanks, will give that a good read!


Thanks. If I access the client from another device, it’ll still just stream to that device though, won’t it? The same as using the Jellyfin web gui. I tried the Jellyfin-vue client, and that’s what it did.

I’m trying to keep everything in containers, but I could install something bare-metal (Linux), as long as I can access it on the home network (or have Jellyfin cast to it).


Music Player container
I currently have a Raspberry Pi (with DAC) in my room attached to an amp and speakers, with Moode Audio installed on it, and it's perfect, been using it for many years. I can use plenty of MPD clients, or go through the web gui, and the sound outputs from the Pi itself. I have similar hardware downstairs, except instead of a Pi, I have an x86 Dell thin client, with various Docker containers running on it. I'd like something that does the same job as Moode Audio (which is unfortunately ARM only), and outputs the sound directly from the host. I've set up a Jellyfin container, and it's a great bit of software (will keep it for TV and movies), but doesn't allow me to output sound from the Dell PC itself. Is there a plugin or some other config that would let me do this? I'm aware that Airsonic would probably work (installed it, but not full tested it yet), but I much prefer the look and feel of Moode and Jellyfin, especially as it's not just for my use. Does anyone have a similar set up? Thanks [edit: I can install Mopidy-Jellyfin, and cast to that. It works within the Jellyfin gui, and outputs from host. Would prefer something in a container (had to install directly on the Linux server) and I'm still looking, but I have something that works.

Software/config advice (containers, NAS etc)
Hi. I'm a bit of a selfhosting novice, but currently have a Dell Wyse hosting a few docker containers (plus Portainer) including a Minecraft server, torrents, Nextcloud. and others) on an Arch Linux system. I also have a Gnubee NAS (running an old version of OMV) which is mounted on the Dell as well as on a couple of (music server) Pi's. The NAS is really slow and limited, so I'm looking to migrate everything currently on there and on the Dell onto am unused NUC (with a 250GB and 1TB drive). Not bothered about keeping NAS/server on separate devices. What is the best way for me to set this up? OMV + docker? Proxmox? I'm not up on lxc containers, pools, etc, but will go that way if that's where the advice leads. Also quite apprehensive about migrating things, especially Nextcloud, so any pointers there would be really appreciated! Thanks
