BruisedMoose

I’ve just finished ripping about 1300 CDs. I used Jellyfin for a bit since I already had it set up for my video library, but I wasn’t happy with the Android options and it was pretty basic.

Navidrome is a fucking TREAT. Paired with Symfonium, I’m finally enjoying my personal music collection regularly again.

As for tagging, OP, while I get why people like Picard, it doesn’t always work with how I like to do things. I put everything into a music folder on my desktop, use Mp3Tag to retrieve metadata, edit what I need, and make sure the artwork is decent and sized where I want it. Then I use the tag > filename to organize and move them to my NAS.

I remember buying a bootleg copy of that and the Corman Fantastic Four movie on VHS at some record show years back. Owning those was a matter of pride.

I saw this post yesterday, but haven’t checked it out:

I have lrcget run on my library to grab missing lyrics each night and use Symfonium for listening and displaying the lyrics. If I need to, I go out to Genius.

Adding to the Aegis chorus.

I also use Proton Pass for some sites that aren’t as critical for me / don’t have a bunch of PII. It’s easy.

An “I Wish I Had …” addition to this: maybe start something like Wiki.js or Joplin that you will then use to document what you do as you go. Keep a record of your process so that you can work your way back if you need.

CasaOS in a similar vein. Casa is just an app that can be installed on Linux though.

When I started, I wanted something to obfuscate all the Dockishness because I didn’t get it and just wanted to get going. It helped me get familiar with common Docker things and while I’m very far from being any sort of expert, I’m comfortable enough in a compose file now.

I still have Casa running, though I rely on it less and less. At some point maybe I’ll move everything out.

Oh, haha. I thought you were telling me I should rethink using a DNS adblocker.

Would you care to expand on that?

Even better: system-wide DNS adblocking on Android. Get rid of in-app ads too.

I’m in camp #2. Only my Gmail address can access my apps from outside my home. It’s a little bit of a pain to configure the rules, but once it’s done it’s done. I’ve been happy with it.

You do need to have a domain name though.

Ugh. Doesn’t IA have enough legal issues already?

My reasoning and setup are different, but I’m also looking at DAS solutions this week for a media server.

Since it’s winter and I mostly don’t want to leave my house, I busted out an unused Raspberry Pi 4b a couple weeks ago. Started with CasaOS and AdGuard. Have now added a few other services including Navidrome to serve up a lot of local-area music for myself and friends. Got a Cloudflare tunnel set up, then some authentication through CF as well. And finally secured a static IP from my ISP. This is the farthest along I’ve ever gotten with any of this and it’s been going great. Nearly every hurdle I’ve encountered I’ve been able to work through.

Two things causing me grief today though:

1. I also have Nextcloud hosted on a VPS and I cannot get to the point of running occ commands. First it wasn’t found, then no php cli, then just errors. I gave up.

2. I’m using Homer because it’s just so simple, but the theming and CSS is driving me nuts. Sure, I can change colors, but will this little bar in the neon theme change from 4em to 100% for me? NOPE. Override fonts? Nosir. All good though.

Ah, comment hadn’t federated to piefed, I guess. I had the same feelings as you though. There’s a lot and it just isn’t all that intuitive.

I’ve been using Ionos for things for like 10 years now. I’ve had a medium VPS running for a couple years and just spun up an XS last night. No issues!

I recently saw AdventureLog, is that along the lines of what you’re looking for?
