It’s ‘just enough OS to run Kodi.’
I’ve done away with all rokus and apple TVs.
I use an emby server addon to play my local media. It has addons for streaming services, visualizers for music, RSS feeds on the Ui, screensavers that use my local pictures, integrates with home assistant, and libreelec has docker addons for more cool stuff!
No tracking, one easy to use UI for everything I’m trying to enjoy, and less attack platform for ads.
It’s cool!
I am using a couple of old chromebooks for LibreELEC and am pretty happy with that result
Wow fuck yeah! Gonna try this soon
my old technology teacher told me about one time his ssh key was the whole soliloquy from hamlet.
then he turned himself into a fuckin pickle. craziest thing I ever seent
EDIT nvm?
cmon man i aint never done nothin wrong with nobody’s dang ssh keys. Jus lemme hold em
Caddy has been kicking my ass also!
This is very nice. Thanks!
What’s a better option these days? I’d be interested in trying to get rid of duckdns
Tiny10 on a VM
I’m sluggishly in the middle of the same thing.
I had truenas installed bare metal, with some jails for emby (jellyfin) and Adguard etc worked well enough but I wanted a little more flexibility.
I installed proxmox on the machine itself, and fired up a truenas VM and passed through the discs (for now until I get an HBA card).
Tons more flexibility.
Yeah that’s kinda my whole disconnect from this stuff from the get go. These guys were begging for attention! Huge turn off
You made my wife cry
EDIT IRL
Oh yeah I am on board with jellyfin and emby all the way 100%
Kodi/LibreELEC is just the full suite, especially with home assistant. Use the addon and enjoy one interface for every single piece of media, cutting out each apps “eye candy” and clutter, and enjoy your tunes with visualizers!
Add-ons for everything
Moonlight for game streaming, tied into my whole home remote control and home assistant for ease of use for everyone in the family.
It’s all pretty slick.
Once you get it setup just make a backup and roll that out on the other machines needed.
EASY KILLER
I DON’T SEE ANY JELLYFIN DISTROS
“JUST ENOUGH OS FOR JELLYFIN?” no
Though jellyfin/emby as the back end works really well
Kodi/LibreELEC is awesome for all the different stuff you can add in
EDIT for typos
I know this is coming up on my radar, but I am not quite sure where to start. Might you have any resources on hand to point me in the right direction?
Especially once I have everything dialed in the way I want, I’d love to be able to pull from my own repo to get stuff running again/spin up a new instance
Anyone have opinions about hiding this under a bed or other discreet location? (Closet, crawlspace, etc)
Maybe with hardwood floors or a closet that isn’t full of winter coats or something, but it makes me nervous. But I would like to kinda spread out the homelab a little
I’ve messed around with this a time or two but didn’t realize how deep the rabbit hole went! I’m gonna look into this
I like this way of thinking! Excited to see what smarter people than myself come up with
Whips?
