What are the main advantages to plex?

AFAIK they offer more apps resp. apps for more platforms. Apart from that, nothing really. Maybe a little more idiot-proof.

FreshRSS, + Readably on Android. Has worked well for me for years.

Edited the main post. Seems like there was an issue with “pending” subscriptions. Maybe in combination with being on 0.17.4

Overall it was fine, took a moment to find the proper Traefik settings, but after that it ran basically fine. It’s just too “unstable” for me at the moment from a development standpoint, moving too rapidly. Maybe I’ll do another one once it has matured and slowed down a bit.

That would have been plan C, yes. But it’s not a proper solution, it’s a hacky workaround which puts unneccessary load on the federating instances.

I did. Unsubscribed, then purged from the local DB. I’ll work through the logs, see what the other instances are trying to push.

This however also is an issue, because i can’t easily host something.

Why not? Or rather, to which router do your servers connect, the FB or the Speedport? Or because you’re on DS-lite or CG-NAT and don’t have a “direct” external IP?

A kind of “extended” 3-2-1, more a 4-3-2. As nearly everything I host runs on Docker, I usually pause the stack, .tar.bz everything and back that up on several devices (NAS, off-site machine, external HDD).

The neat thing about keeping every database in its own container is the resulting backup “package”, which can easily be restored as a whole without having to mess with db dumps, permissions, etc.
