I ran swarm in a homelab and ended up switching back. I don’t remember all the details I had issues with, but be aware of quorum. Here is the link to high availability docs. If one of the nodes goes down then you can’t do anything with the other. I also had issues getting everyone back online when one went down (with only two). I had three nodes, but one failed and I didn’t replace it. If one of the remaining two went offline I had to manually setup the swarm again each time. I found it to be a hassle because I didn’t have enough need for multiple nodes and high availability.

I now use Pangolin (Underlying traefik) on a VPS which VPNs back into my home where I host the sites. I have the VPN on it’s own proxmox container in the same VLAN as my servers.

I agree, the DJ and playlist features are pretty great. Definitely what I missed when trying Finamp. If anyone has another suggestion that does similar I’m game to try. Just to try and start to divest from Plex.

How is the music discovery on Tempo?

I’ve never really played with it, but was hoping it might help. If I have some time this afternoon I can play some more (honestly I’m intrigued as well).

In the mean time, you might try the command below and see if it will work instead. It should just return messages already sent, it I’m not sure how many.

ntfy.sh/mytopic/json?poll=1

You might be able to start with the built-in json stream

Take a look at the home assistant voice preview device.

It has a 3.5mm jack out to connect to better speakers. You should be able to integrate some aspect of audio playback.

From the FAQ

Can I play music on this device?

Yes, if you plug an external speaker into the 3.5mm audio port. The built-in speaker is meant for voice feedback and is not optimized for listening to music, but the included DAC is capable of playing lossless audio on a suitable external speaker. We recommend using Music Assistant to control music playback.

Good to know, thanks!

I’m not sure about self hosted specific. There is a device called WiiM. Works with most of the major streaming services. I believe they’re also working on plexamp integration too.

I’m guessing the author is getting some kind of referral to send them to that other site that hosts grafana. Because home assistant has a 3rd party app for grafana built in. Granted it would be a few more steps than they outlined, but it’s also not sending your data to some random company.

No particular reason. Just chose one and went with it.

FYI, for step 3 you should be able to do a “docker compose pull” with the same effect.

Edit: and on step 8.2, to minimize down time, you can also do the pull before stopping the containers.

I feel like I have the same or similar issue, but I’m using synapse server with element app. If I’m on mobile sometimes I don’t get my notifications at all until I’m back on Wi-Fi, then a steam of them.

A little off topic, but on first glance I thought that website was called fart caller.

On topic, I’ve never Heard of this service. I still haven’t setup anything like this. Might give it a try.

Hopefully someone smarter than me can help. You can always do what I do, and just blow up the install and start fresh. 😂

Darn.

I suppose you could also try using the lsof command to see if it shows anything different?

Some examples: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/unix-linux-check-if-port-is-in-use-command/

This may sound silly, but have you tried restarting? I feel like that worked for me when I had a similar issue in the past. Something was holding onto the port, but it wasn’t showing up anywhere. Restart got it to let go and it worked afterwards.

Lots of good suggestions. I’ve also used memos, but wasn’t a huge fan of how the notes were organized. Solid app and definitely worth a look.

Edit: I’m holding out hope for when notesnook goes self-hosted.

Edit 2: after looking at my older instance I see they save the notes in a database and is not relevant to your question.

This is 100% my experience and setup. (Though I run Debian for my docker VM)

I did run docker in an LXC but ran into some weird permission issues that shouldn’t have existed. Ran it again in VM and no issues with the same setup. Decided to keep it that way.

I do run my plex and jellyfin on an LXC tough. No issues with that so far.

That was one of the things I got wrong at first as well. But it totally makes it much easier in the long run.

I have proxmox on bare metal, an HBA card to passthrough to TrueNAS Scale. I’ve had good luck with this setup.

The HBA card is to passthrough to TrueNAS so it can get direct control of the drives for ZFS. I got mine on eBay.

I’m running proxmox so that I can separate some of my processes (e.g. plex LXC) into a different VM.
