It really depends on your use case. I’ve gone through 9tb of data in a month. And often have up to a dozen BR quality movie requests at once. 35-65gb each, on average. If you’re only doing one movie at a time and only doing torrent quality, you shouldn’t have any issues.
One of the issues with multiple devices is networking. Transferring totally legit files for the Arr stack to and from the NAS can be a lot of data. Keeping it all in one system means your speeds up to that point are SATA speeds vs ethernet.
For the OP, one file with hard linking is my goal, but I only use Usenet. I rip anything that comes down with Tdarr to strip languages, normalize audio and rip to H265. If you do that with torrents, you will need to keep the original for seeding.
Have you set up jellyfish at your home, given access to a friend outside of your network who could not setup Jellyfin themselves, and successfully got them playing on their TV, table tablet, and/or phone? Have you been able to set them up without them having to call you every week?
Yes. It’s very easy. It might not have used to be easy but it is for the last couple of years. Dead simple. About a dozen people use my Jellyfin server across TV’s, phones, tablets, laptops. None of them are what I would call techies. It’s as simple for them as Netflix.
You will want the actual IP address. Localhost can get lost in various circumstances. If Cloudflare tunnel service and Jellyfin are on the same virtual network it should be fine. But I wouldn’t trust it.
But yes, your Cloudflare tunnel should only connect to http:// not https. It will serve https on the public side of things.
I think you can get Open Street Maps in the F Droid app store. But, as much as I appreciate OSM, it’s just not the same as Google maps. The speed, accuracy and information doesn’t seem to have an equal.
You definitely can run Nextcloud in a VM. With decent hardware, it will do it. I guess I would say it depends on needs and expectations. My install is not snappy to me. I’ve got what I feel is a very beefy server but still. Just feels a little slow at times. Totally functional. Just has a small amount of lag when doing anything. I’ve read people say they have none at all. But when you’re busy and relying on it, my suggestion is to eke out everything you can for it for a better experience. Not make or break by any means.
I don’t think it’s a problem per se, as much as it’s a difference in priorities. But the docker implementation in TrueNAS is more of an afterthought. I think they’ve fixed some issues but checking out their forums, many of the issues I faced seem to still exist. Docker packages corrupting and not being accessible in any way, not updating, just seemingly, not robust. Also, I disliked the file permission structure but that’s more preference I think. I would say TrueNAS is a great NAS just not the best hypervisor and NAS.
A few things. I also think nextcloud is the way to go for what you want. I’ve gotten rid of anything Google I can. Except for maps. Man, there just is no substitute especially when mobile.
I always do, but I’m going to suggest Unraid for a NAS. Pay the money and then just enjoy it. I fought with truenas for over a year before I succumbed. You can totally play around with zfs, striped arrays whatever. I do not recommend an external enclosure. I think you’ll come to hate it for lack of ability. I recommend biting the bullet and building a machine or putting your current PC components into a real case with upgradability if possible.
Also, I wouldn’t plan on running Nextcloud in a VM. Nextcloud is pretty beefy and a VM adds complexity that I suggest against. A docker AIO version of nextcloud running on as close to bare metal as you can is probably the best option for performance.
It depends on how you’re hosting Jellyfin. The easiest and most common way is via Docker in some form. You can also install a docker image of Cloudflare tunnel making sure it’s on the same virtual network as Jellyfin (I think it will by default). However you’re running Jellyfin, Cloudflare tunnel will need to be able to reach your local Jellyfin install.
Create a tunnel in the Cloudflare zero trust dashboard, create or edit the config file for your Cloudflare tunnel install using the code string from the zero trust dashboard, your tunnel will attempt to connect to the Cloudflare servers, when it does, you have a secure tunnel. Then you can add hostnames on the zero trust dashboard, using your local IP addresses and ports. For example, jellyfin.yourdomain.com points to 192.168.1.10:8096. The tunnel connects your local IP to the routing from your domain.
Be careful to not open this up to apps that don’t have security in some form at least. There are ways to improve security on your tunnel end with SWAG and such. And I recommend turning on the security tools in Cloudflare so your domain can’t be accessed outside of your country at the least, and maybe even whitelisting IP addresses for even more security.
SpaceInvaderOne on YouTube has a good video on creating a Cloudflare tunnel via Unraid. But everything is much the same in regular docker. I’m sure there’s good videos on doing it however you’re hosting Jellyfin. Feel free to reach out with questions, I’ll gladly help if I can.
Cloudflare tunnel and a domain name will stream Jellyfin to any device while delivering a decent amount of safety.
I don’t either but I sure would like to be able to read stuff sometimes.
