What are you doing step-LAN?
What are you doing step-LAN?
Jellyfin was my go to as well. It was really nice to play with and finamp was as well. Once setup it was just as easy and nice to use as Spotify without all the ads and Spotify randomly playing songs after i finish a podcast episode.
Well now im very jealous lol. Good for you man, thats a banger deal.
88 x 8TB drives? 704 TB of storage?
You got a whole damn data center lol. Good stuff dude. Was this off of ebay or direct from a company? I’m curious to know the total cost.
I know 3 different people that are on the spectrum and while they do experience life differently and face different and or unique challenges, yes, absolutely you can live a normal fulfilling life.
Like with any mental health condition, it can make things that are everyday or normal for most folks more difficult so its important to not only seek guidance from a mental health professional but also have a good support structure. People you can count on to help you when you need it.
Everyone is a little different of course so finding the right fit for each can be kinda hard but all 3 people i know are happy, healthy, and are living a good life.
Everyone is weird anyways. I know plenty of neruotypical people that do weird stuff. Humans are weird by nature so what “normal” is to one person might be “weird” to another.
Fair point. My company keeps drives that get taken out of servers for office use. After that theyre recycled.
Damn thats cool! My work doesnt let me take drives old drives. Though we dont use sas drives so that might be why.
I certainly dont mind used drives for mass storage. I was planning to do some kinda raid anyways.
I haven’t gotten any kind of nas setup yet. Trying to avoid buying too much lol but good to know other folks are using sas drives too.
No use for them you say 🤔
I was actually just looking at buying some sas spinning drives for a nas. Found a seller on Amazon thats unfortunately gone before i could buy em but it was a pretty good deal. Where do you buy yours from?
ATnT should be able to tell you for sure. I remember reading about another person facing a cgnat using ATnT on reddit while i still went there so it very well could be.
And fairly easy setup yea. I did mine using a windows pc for testing as i was kinda in between places at the time and thats what i ended up using for jellyfin as well. Just lives on my media pc at the moment. The docs are pretty straight forward.
I recommend that or zero tier which is even more dead simple. Both are good but cloudflare does care about how much bandwidth you’re using so just bear that in mind if you think you’ll use the server for anything else.
Both are vpn tunnels so either should work just fine.

Self hosting can get pretty overwhelming but i find that using docs in addition to youtube videos helps a lot. I also recommend giving Linux a go when you feel up to it. It can be a very nice option if you’re working with older hardware.
I’m not super familiar with docker so im sorry im not much help there but i noticed that you mentioned a ATnT router. Are you using them as an Internet provider?
If so, you might have a carrier grade nat which makes reverse proxy like this not possible even if you do get caddy server working. I had a similar situation with my jellyfin server.
I had caddy server working but when i moved and started using a mobile internet provider, i had to use a vpn tunnel like cloudflare or zerotier to get around it.
All this to say, id recommend finding that out so if that is the case you dont spend anymore time on caddy.
Good luck either way.
I like to plan for the future a lot. It helps motivate me to get stuff done and keep working for what i want.
But i also just take moments to appreciate what i already have. One of my favorite things to do is smell the air outside. Each season has a different smell to it and idk what it is but when i stop to smell that, life is good.
Know what you want and plan for it but dont stress out too much. It defeats the purpose of planing if its stressing you out. And even if you do plan, life will throw you curveballs. I like the phrase lifes a marathon, not a sprint a lot because i often feel like i HAVE to be doing more when i dont.
I’m only 26 so its not like ive had a lifetime of experience or anything. I got lots of time to do what i want. I’ll keep working hard to do what i swt out to but ill take time to enjoy what i love. I’ll keep making music, messing around with computers and ill still make plans even if i dont quite get there.
The more you know! Do you know any guides that go over this? I’d be interested in setting this up.
Edit:
Its apart of thier docs. https://tailscale.com/kb/1019/subnets?q=subnet
That i can’t say. Id imagine no at least on android.
If you dont mind the extra setup, cloudflare tunnels are awesome. https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/
I prefer this over tailscale as i dont want to have an app i need to access my server.
I started off with pi hole when i started messing around with an old laptop for self hosting. My advice is setup what you think is useful.
To access the server outside your home, tailscale is a great option. Fairly simple to setup especially if its just you accessing the server.
Reverse proxy would be best if you intend to let others acess your servers services often or if you dont wanna mess with tunnels. I settled on cloudflare tunnels because i didn’t want another thing to turn on to acess my server outside my house.
When I didn’t have a carrier grade nat to deal with, i used caddy server for automatically getting ssl certs from lets encrypt and reverse proxy all in one. I really liked that once i got it setup.
Oh that rules! Thanks for sharing that
As a fellow music maker i feel that. And absolutely, happy to help. Best of luck to you.
Yea unless you’re ready to fix (or more likely redo /replace) a lot of existing things while you live there, I’d walk unless they make a really compelling offer.
Renovations are really time consuming especially when you have a job, family, etc. And living in a renovation can be exhausting as you have to work around all the fixes until theyre done or at least usable. I speak from experience unfortunately.
That said, if the place is liveable and you can break things down into more manageable parts, could be worth it if again, they make a really compelling offer.
As someone who lives out in a rural area i feel this.
Also I hate the trucks blinding me just from the normal headlights.
I tried umbrel and wasnt super impressed. It seemed like it would function alright for the small amount of things i was trying to do but broke shortly after installing. I set up pihole and i think jellyfin since i was just testing it out on an older laptop.
I’ve heard decent things about CasaOS but have not used it myself.
