How to secure Jellyfin hosted over the internet? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] chriscrutch@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Thanks for mentioning. I ended up using a Tailscale funnel and everything is running swimmingly so far.

I'm on lemm.ee too and I'm seeing hundreds of comments here.

Moving from Cloudflare tunnels for media streaming, first plan didn't work out due to double NAT in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] chriscrutch@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

That would be fine for one particular site I'd need to connect, but not on another one.

I love Tailscale as well and it works flawlessly for everything I've ever used it for. However, I can't install Tailscale on the Roku TV that sits remotely from my server. That's the whole reason I'm looking for a different way.

Thanks for mentioning that. I'll have to look into it. If I could install Tailscale on a RokuTV I'd absolutely run it that way.

I'm pretty sure that using Jellyfin over Cloudflare tunnels is against their TOS, just FYI. I'm trying to figure out an alternative myself right now because of that.

I have several services on my home server, most of which I access using Tailscale, and it works great. I had a couple services on Cloudflare tunnels in order to access them from devices that I can't put Tailscale on.

Plex is going to start charging for remote access. So I figured now would be the time to migrate to Jellyfin. But using Jellyfin on Cloudflare tunnels is against their TOS. I have a Roku TV at a remote location that I use to watch Plex. I won't be able to do that anymore. And I can't put Tailscale on it to serve Jellyfin that way.

I was going to set up Nginx Proxy Manager to use my domain name for Jellyfin so I didn't have to use Cloudflare tunnels. But in setting that up I found out that my ISP is double NATting me, and I haven't been able to find a way around it.

So I'm left with two options: 1) buy Plex Pass so I can continue to stream remotely; or 2) get a VPS, run Tailscale and NPM on it and switch to Jellyfin.

I'm looking for a sanity check to make sure the VPS thing would work the way I think it would. If it's running Tailscale then the double NAT would be a non-issue, correct? Is there another option that I haven't thought of yet? Which of the two options would you choose?

EDIT, just in case anyone comes across this later, I suppose: I ended up going with a Tailscale funnel and it's working beautifully so far. Setting it up gave me a little bit of trouble but it took nowhere near the amount of time to get working properly that any of the other solutions would have.

Introducing Pi-hole v6 in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] chriscrutch@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

I was running Pi-hole on an actual Raspberry Pi 4 that was apparently running Raspbian 10. My upgrade did not go smoothly. But I got it and I'm liking the new version. The only issue I see so far is that the admin panel in v5 used to have a "remember me for 7 days" checkbox when logging in, this version does not.

Never heard of that place before, thank you. It looks quite promising!

Organic Maps Turns 4 Years: The Privacy-Focused Alternative to Google Maps in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] chriscrutch@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

When I type in my home address, it lists it in a city that's three tows away from where it is. Maps it in the correct location though. My address is correct and in the correct town in OpenStreetMap. That's enough for me to not use Organic Maps. I don't want to guess what incorrect town to use if I type in an address to navigate to.

Account suspended (lemm.ee)
 

Browsing Reddit at work like I've literally done every work day for the last six years, suddenly Reddit won't let me vote. Says my account has been suspended, but all I have to do is reset my password, using the email address I have on file. I don't have one. Can't get the email to reset the password, can't add an email now. I can be logged in but can't vote or comment or post. A 12 year old Reddit account down the drain. The password was unique, 20 characters with upper and lowercase letters, numbers, symbols. Generated by my password manager. No way someone compromised my account. Thanks, Reddit.

Joplin alternative? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I moved from Joplin to Obsidian and am very happy with the move, but it's not FOSS

So I could get some and just release it literally anywhere there are people, at least one of whom would inevitably call the fire department and they'd come out and waste a bunch of resources looking for non-existent propane? Huh.

Self-hosted calendar that isn't Nextcloud and can send e-mail reminders, not just pop-ups (lemm.ee)
 

I'm trying to de-Google my life and self-host more. One tricky point with me is calendaring. I can get a CalDav server running and syncing with my Android phone without much hassle, but I haven't yet found a server or client that can send e-mail reminders for events, rather than just pop-up notifications.

I've been told to try Nextcloud. I tried installing it but it's overkill for me, and I don't want to deal with setting up a domain. Surely there can't be exactly one CalDav option that can send email reminders. But I've never heard anyone say anything other than "Nextcloud."

Where can I find discussion on the Lemmy software itself? (lemm.ee)
 

I'm looking for a community where discussion about the Lemmy software itself is discussed. I have a feature request and although I can't see any such request on the Lemmy github, it seems nearly impossible to me that no one has asked for it yet. I want to chat about it with other Lemmy users before determining if I'm way out in left field or not.

People who have those talking buttons for their pet, how long did it take for them to catch on, and do they really work? (lemm.ee)
 

I've been seeing a dog food ad that includes one of those pads with the buttons that talk, I was curious to hear about them from people who actually have them.
