I can only vouch for my setup; many variations are available.

  • Nextcloud - files, photo autoupload, contacts, calendar
  • Postfix and dovecot (and a bunch of friends) - email
  • Pixelfed - private instagram. Can federate, but I've never enabled that.
  • Opnsense - firewall, vpn, adblocking via unbound. Wireguard is my choice, but any would do. I get all my lan stuff available everywhere.
  • Jellyfin - media library. It's kinda sucky, though, thinking of going back to plex, unfortunately.
  • Lemmy - well. You know what it is :)
  • Graphene on a pixel

Hit me up if you ever decide to go self hosting route and need a hand with a thing or two!

Curious about your issues with jellyfin? Ive been using it basically issue free for a few months

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Takes half a minute to start playing, which gets annoying real quick when a toddler gets involved with all the short videos.

Random buffering every 10-15 minutes on most 1080p as well as 4k videos.

Random buffering every couple of minutes on certain videos - the whole of the office us is the last one I remember.

Crappy multi audio track support - some of them play, but most don't. What was most infuriating at first was jellyfin happily selecting the track I want in UI and then just playing the default one anyway.

The UI is kinda crap - I understand moving on a tv screen is more difficult, but god damn - what jellyfin is doing with arrow navigation is plain masochistic.

When it works - it's beautiful. But it rarely does so for long enough.

I really want to like it, but it's doing its best to push me away.

And before you suggest anything - I've already tried everything there is to try that's available on the open internet. Happy to hear something that's never been posted anywhere, though!

I haven't really had any of these issues. Those would certainly be enough to push me away. I know I was having somewhat similar issues with consuming the content before enabling hardware acceleration. I haven't tried changing audio tracks so idk there. I'm sorry to hear you've been having a bad time

Did you configure video encoding?
