Alternatively if you’re tired of manual DNS configuration:

FreeIPA, like AD but fer ur *Nix boxes

Configures users, sudoer group, ssh keys, and DNS in one go.

Also lotta services can be integrated using LDAP auth too.

So far I’ve got proxmox, jellyfin, zoneminder, mediawiki, and forgejo authing against freeipa in top of my samba shares.

Ansible works too just because its uses ssh, but I’ve yet to figure out how to build ansible inventories dynamically off of freeIPA host groups. Seen a coupla old scripts but that’s about it.

Current freeipa plugin for it seems more about automagic deployment of new domains.

Can I just type ‘roxorz boxorz’ and be done with it.

Been running my own storage boxes off of rocky w/ zfs, samba and nfs for years simply for the ease of integration of samba + freeipa.

Especially being able to use ipasam.so to allow password authentication for shares on machines that aren’t easy/reasonable to use kerberos keytabs from (think android clients, and off domain boxes)

Plus last time I tried truenas you couldn’t use a keyfile to encrypt drives unless it was stored on the root dataset which for some reason couldn’t be encrypted. Meaning each array had to have its own password instead.

I won’t lie I had to write several wiki articles to document this lol.

I mean my boyfriend calls me good kitty but like you should like warm up to that lmao.

I mean I’ve faked one or two conversations because I always thought chatbots where cute toys as a dev.

Treating it like a humie is a no go.

Lemme know when fairphone has a re-lockable bootloader to allow for choice of OS.

Not even dirty 30 yet baybee!

If you ever need information on development, the best place to check first will always be official docs, Good luck on your project!

Yeah but if you make it an open format other hobbyists could make their own hardware/software about it.

Mostly a fantasy medium, but if people start using it for art, then hey neat.

No that’s the idea, it would be to make a piece of software which if thrown on a sbc with a DVD drive becomes a player.

Which really isn’t too far off of DVD and most bluray players.

Though I wouldn’t be shocked if the super cheap DVD players have some sorta all-in-one integrated asic for most of the job.

Would mostly be used by hobbiest making their own burned discs and small artists releasing stuff.

Was thinking you know its bad when Linus thinks you’re too toxic…

I’ve always kinda thought about implementing a software and standard for 1080p av1 on DVD. Would be neat as a project, obviously no commercial use would exist.

Either way you can get some really impressive encodes out of av1, really neat tech.

You telling me we wouldn’t also find a good use for collaborative spreadsheets?

Realtime collaborative documents. One thing that comes to mind is notes for my DND party.

Would be nice to keep em somewhere everyone can access and add to, no extra client software install required.

I’ve been looking at hedgedoc for this exact purpose, but then everyone in my party would have to learn markdown, and they’re not all tech savvy.

Personally I keep whatever VM I’m torrenting from running through a separate router that forces it through the VPN. Whether that be my pfsense box or a qube on qubes os.

Do you guys just not have homelabs?

Ah assumed when you said VLC, you where just plugging the laptop into the TV via HDMI or something.

I also read you mentioned you where able to login but not see files, so wrong route to go down.

If you don’t wanna run a server all the time for movies then vlc might be the better option, though I don’t see why jellyfin shouldn’t technically work.

If your libraries aren’t populating after being setup, maybe check file permissions for the ‘jellyfin’ user?

Oh yeah no I’ve seen as home servers with a built in UPS. Their usecase sounded like they where using their daily driver laptop though.

Why are you trying to run jellyfin server from a laptop? I mean you can, just seems like an odd choice.

Also make sure ufw isn’t getting in the way. Wouldn’t be shocked if Ubuntu keeps that enabled for security.

Yes but enterprise LTSC (and others) isos can be harder to obtain legally.

Massgrave has mirrors of retail and OEM isos, and the other site I provided has checksums to verify their integrity.
