Nice, I might give that a go. So instead of doing Artist/Album/songfile.ext you just have all albums in the same level? e.g. Band - Album1/song1.mp3 Band - Album2/song1.flac
If that’s so, I might be able to batch sort them to that structure and give Jellyfin another try
the problem with FW’s docs is that they are too opinionated, they expect a strict user and directory structure that should not be required for docker deployments. I modified the example docker-compose to use volumes instead of binding to host locations (except for the music:ro folder) and it didn’t like it at all. I get that they prefer using ansible playbooks over docker, but even when starting from a fresh debian 12 install it’d fail, even though I followed that guide to the tee.
As someone else said on the thread, it’s weird but there’s no much choice for multi-library music-centric servers. Guess I’ll have to wrangle Jellyfin into submission to tag my music properly.
tried jellyfin even before Navidrome: the problem with Jellyfin is that as good as it is tagging and managing movies and tv shows, it’s atrocious at music management. Even though I painstakingly tagged and sorted my music using MusicBrainz Picard, there are tons of albums misplaced, or entire artists catalogs set as a single album. Same music collection on Navidrome worked OOTB and was perfectly sorted.
Indeed, tailscale/wireguard/zerotier are excellent options to keep only the bare minimum (or even nothing!) exposed to the world.
I just checked and at least on LineageOS 21 (android 14) you indeed can add specific apps (and notification categories, eg calls) to bypass do not disturb
Maybe a bit of a low tech solution, but I have an older RPI 3B running a second instance of PiHole.
Thanks for this! I have been using HA for a year now but only with stuff I already had on my network and a few Wiz lights. The whole ZigBee zwave thing has been a pending rabbit hole to fall into for a while and this was been an interesting read.
No idea if its better, its the thing I tried and it was pretty seamless to set up. With my aging hardware and AMD GPU, I have been pretty much sitting in the sidelines with this whole LLM thing
There’s a dockerized version if you need those

Check AnythingLLM out, its just an appimage
Tasks.org and logseq here, ended up being the simplest way after bouncing off grocy and other overly detailed systems.
Tip: before going through with hosting NextCloud, you could get /e/ accounts, they don’t give much space but since it’s just rebranded NextCloud, you can try it out and see if it works for you.
Currently we use several tasks boards so chores are separate by type (shopping list, maintenance, bills, chores) and logseq’s journal on the app makes it flexible to take notes or whatever you need (audio notes, pics, links, etc)
While I was researching I found out about Squeezebox, as there are people using it in combination with HomeAssistant. Both solutions you and @cfi provided seem pretty doable, and I’ve already been tinkering with Mopidy on armbian. Snapcast is something I’ve never heard of, and I’m definetly going to tinker around it, I’d love to be able to sync several speakers around the house, specially for parties and gatherings.
That being said I think they are a bit overkill for the usecase, and I’m looking for something even simpler, maybe repurposing the guts of a cheap BT speaker I have lying around, see if I can find somewhere on the PCB where I can tap line level audio output and solder it directly inside the amp/sub box, along with a small power supply to run without batteries. (I know there are ready-made BT modules for this, but where’s the fun in that!)
Holy crap thanks for the detailed walkthrough! Im going to set it up as soon as I can!!
A middle ground “normie-tech” I use: after picking the cycle, whip out your phone and start a countdown timer. Mine at least can save such timers and I can name them.
I got fed up that my washing machine lies on its timer: it doesn’t count the drying cycle and then it takes another 3 minutes to unlock the door. So I timed that once. For example a 42 min timer for the quick cycle (30 wash + 9 dry + 3 stupid lockout)
I made a hole on the shelf it sits on, added a grill on top and a 120mm fan below. No more crashing
Is Geometric Weather displaying info on thebdetail cards for your chosen service? I changed it to OoenWeatherMap and still shows me accuweather cards
Probably overkill, but NextCloud has a health app with a pretty big suite of features
With a gpu in the mix, it could be used as an htpc/console and also work as a nas/media server with transcoding.
It’s been over a year and a half since I built this setup, and to this day I kick myself for not building everything on top of proxmox. That being said, I’m on a rather limited hardware, so I don’t know how much better would be to migrate to it (R3 3200G, 6gb of ram)
Holy crap thats genius, i’ll do just that!
