Thank you. This is more aligned with what I was hoping for. I wanted a way to access these services but still lock the device down as much as I can. Thank you for sharing.

Actually this is a more clear idea of what I was looking for. A device I could get these apps on and still have control over the device.

Thank you for the tips! This seems like it may be a good option.

Was actually unaware of SmartTube. Looks like it may cover that part for me :). I had also never heard of LineageOS, I’ll take a look there too. I have a Pi4 laying about I was going to use.

As for FireTV I may just end up going that rout, I was just curious what the options looked like. Thank you for taking the time to enlighten me :).

Actually hadn’t though of this. Thank you!

I do have a pi-hole set up, but alas it won’t stop YT ads.

I think that it does as of gnome 43+. Oddly enough Pop_OS ships with gnome 42.5. Which seems to have been the issue.

pavucontrol does seem to work well. Just need to choose an easier way to switch now. Thank you kindly.

Ohh what a neat solution, thank you!

Hah, what a novel name, thank you.

Ohhh I may have to look into unraid then. Didn’t realize there was a one time deal. Thanks for the tips.

Makes sense! Thanks for saving me some time and money. I have gig internet as is so I know both my router and switch can handle it. Should be good with what I’ve got then for a while. Thank you kindly :))

I generally do prefer containers. But I’ll be sure to stick to them as much as possible. Thanks for the tips!

Ahhh well then I should be good on 1g. Thanks for saving me some bucks though :)

Thanks for the reply! Yes, having a clear upgrade path was a big part of this. Just being able to move forward when needed without replacing stuff for a bit.

I’ll have to look at jellyfin I haven’t dug too deep on the media host yet. Thanks for the heads up :))

Looks like 4 sata headers. So prolly gonna grab some hdds.

As for my network. I have a decent router, though I can’t remember the model at the moment. I’m using a 1gig switch at the moment to split everything through my network. I’m planning to get that upgraded to a 10g next.

Eyy! That got it! I think I’m still going to set up nginx to make it easier as I add more self hosts so I’m not trying to memorize everything’s port. Thank you kindly for your time!

Do you happen to know how I would find what port it’s on and where I would change it? My Pi-hole actually defaulted to /admin, and when using my Searx instance I never had to use a port, so I’m not entirely sure where that info would be.

I’m interested in how I would do this. Google basically just gives me steps for assigning IPs to VMs which isnt quite what I’m looking for.

Got it, thank you kindly :)

Ignore my ignorance here. You’re talking about something like Nginx?
