I think I tried this when troubleshooting and didn’t notice a difference. Nevermind, I pretty easily taught her how to bring up the menu and switch audio streams so she can solve it herself now.

Thanks, I didn’t manage to find many options in swiftfin, you don’t know if I can enforce it for a user from the server side?

I set up Jellyfin on my mother-in-law’s TV, it’s just push play.

My mum has an Apple TV (the device, not the subscription) and on there she uses swiftfin. The only issue has been sound not working on certain audio tracks on certain movies, but in general it is easy for anyone.

Both are very familiar interfaces for anyone used to playing something from a streaming service.

The way my kids use it, it doesn’t mean anything. They just say it randomly in a drawn out voice.

How so? I have HTTPS on internal sites, I just use DNS validation to get the certificate.

What is the security risk of adding HTTPS to a site going via VPN?

I highly recommend spinning up a Nextcloud AIO instance. It’s the recommended and supported method, and it will likely run a lot nicer because all the database, redis, etc tweaking are done for you in a known good setup.

If you try that and it’s still no good, then OCIS might be worth trying depending on exactly what you are trying to achieve.

I’m also here on AIO with a great experience. It’s snappy and the website loads faster than Onedrive ever did.

I had a docker install prior to AIO being available, and there was a lot of tweaking to get it running nicely (though it did run nicely). AIO takes care of it all for you.

I personally use a service like addy for less personal things, e.g. signing up for an account on a forum, signing up to newsletters, etc.

I use a custom domain with a catchall inbox for things I may need to contact someone over, or need a sense of legitimacy, e.g. buying something online, online account with doctor/insurance/government/etc, I give every service a slightly different email address so I can always tell where someone got it from (or who sold my data).

And one that I share with a limited set of friends and family.

I don’t see why you’d need a firstnamelastname.com domain, just find a common domain tld (com, net, etc) and buy something short and easily pronounceable or spellable in the off chance you have to give an email address IRL. When you want to put an email on a CV, use firstnamelastname@domain.com, that’s just as professional so long as your domain isn’t balls.com or something.

No backlight, no. Realistically we are just using the direction arrows/ok circle part most of the time anyway, you can easily feel it in the dark. But I’m sure other similar products with a backlight exist. I went with this one as it’s relatively cheap and has a keyboard on the back, but there are heaps of options.

Others might have suggestions. I run everyhting in docker. I then use Traefik as the reverse proxy in docker, where you add labels to the containers you want it to handle and it works things out on it’s own. I have also configured it to do certificates automatically, including automatic domain validation using a Cloudflare API.

Caddy and Nginx Proxy Manager are other popular ones that can configure HTTPS certificates for you.

You don’t have to overthink it. Choose a reverse proxy you like. If it does automatic certificates, that’s great. If not, Let’s Encypt (which most of these services use for the free certificates) have a certbot program you install and run on a cronjob to renew certificates.

I have one of these for the PC connected to the TV, but the LibreElec install works really well with the Rii i25, it’s much easier to just scroll through and find what you want to play like on a smart TV.

Owncloud Infinite Scale was a rewrite of the codebase to get away from PHP. In theory this should be better able to run on lower end hardware. People tend to say they use it if they are only wanting the file part and not all the apps. Personally I use Nextcloud because I want the apps.

Automatic certificate renewal is built into many reverse proxies, and can be done for free, so I don’t see a reason not to do it.

Nextcloud has federation of some features so I’d guess that would be a key reason you can’t change the domain (you also can’t change a Lemmy domain once set up). However, you’re using it for file sync for yourself, right? Regardless of what you pick (even Nextcloud), you could surely just set up a new instance under the new domain then move all your files over.

I don’t think it’s really true these days that it needs a lot of config. Maybe reverse proxies will do it for you automatically without much setup.

I am curious what the security risks are for HTTPS for a service that will already be accessible remotely?

OwnCloud Infinite Scale might be the option you missed?

Nextcloud was forked from the PHP Owncloud some years back, and they added all the apps and things. But Owncloud is like Nextcloud but focused only on the files.

I am a bit concerned that you’re talking about not wanting HTTPS and see it as a bad thing that something requires it. Given you can get free certificates these days, why would you not want a secure connection? Even if you’re accessing via a VPN to server tunnel, I see no reason not to have it.

This is the way.

I use I think this one: http://www.riitek.com/product/254.html

It has orange buttons that you program to the TV (I have on/off, volume, and changing input source) then the white buttons and the direction pad to move around and play things in Kodi.

I’m more of a cargo cult cooker. I blend bits copied from different recipes even if I’m not quite sure how they fit together or what the purpose of the ingredients is.

Ooh I think I know how to pronounce that one!

I’m sure you have a backup and that you’ve tested restoring it. Just have another machine that is available in the case something happens to the first.

E.g. I somehow fried the motherboard of my server while cleaning it. It took me days to troubleshoot the issue.

But I also have an old laptop strapped to the back of my TV that is used to stream media using Kodi. When this event happened, I installed a more appropriate OS on the TV laptop and restored my backup and was up and running in an hour or two. Then I could take the time to troubleshoot my issue and resolve it on my main server.

Lol I tried that but they had backend validation 😅
