Thank you. It makes sense now
Hey guys. Im running Home Assistant in docker container for few years and I'm super happy with it. The only way I access my server when not home is wireguard VPN. I noticed that I'm still receiving notifications even when not connected to VPN. I wonder how is that possible?
I don't have sub for HA Cloud or Nabu Casa. I also don't own a domain, using duckdns for wireguard connection and reverse proxy (npm). I thought I have 100% local setup, but I guess there is a Google or HA server in between. I don't want to disable the feature, I just want to know where is my data being sent
Thx
I have tried my m3u IPTV on jellyfin and it sucks, just use TiviMate for android or VLC on PC
Thanks for input.
Several of your devices have the feature you want, but you ignore or defeat them because you want another feature as well (play next episode, etc)
Well the projector have that feature, but I'm not happy with it because CEC is not working. I end up with half solution because sound is still playing from BT speaker. Other than that, if I want to continue watching I have to grab projectors remote to press a button (less important, but working on reducing number of remotes from 3 to 1).
CC works fine if I dont use autoplay next episode (it still plays movie/show untill the end), but doesn't work if Im watching TiviMate. Again half solution unfortunately.
You could look into Google Home Automations
Specific time like 00:30 wouldn't work for us, but I've been playing with home assistant yesterday and came to hopefully a great solution. I was thinking about automation that will mute sound 90 min after CC was powered on and then if I don't disable mute in 5 min another automation turns off device. Sounds perfect, but need to try it out. I guess Google HA can do that as well, but I already have home assistant for other things in our house.
audio / video (AV) receivers
We dont have any AV receiver yet, CC is connected to projector via HDMI and to speaker via bluetooth.
If you have other tips or you think I'm missing something, I'll be happy to hear
Thanks. Well, I could disable autoplay on jellyfin, but don't have solution for tivi mate (iptv)
Hey guys. Is there any Android TV app that can trigger auto turn off after set amount of time of not using CC remote control?
We have a projector connected to ChromeCast with Google TV 4k and also a bluetooth speaker connected to CC. Sometimes we fall asleep while watching a movie/show at night and it is just wasting projector lamp hours. What I want is actually a basic TV feature that pops a message on the screen "shutting down in xxx seconds" and gets canceled with any button on CC remote control.
Projector actually has that feature, but then I have to use projectors remote control (trying to get rid of it with smart IR blaster and Home Assistant) to cancel the shutdown and even if it goes off CC is still playing sound from BT speaker. Projector has HDMI CEC settings, but it is not working at all unfortunately.
CC has a feature "Automatically turn off when inactive", but it never gets to inactive state because Jellyfin will just play a next episode (can be disabled, but would like to keep it) or TiVi mate is just playing until closed manually.
All opinions are welcome, thanks
I will if i dont forget. Feel free to remind me.
I was reading other comments as well. You can also disable transcoding on the client side, the video will not play at all if transcoding is required. Also try disabling subtitles, sometimes subtitles require transcoding for some reason (don't know why tho).
Got one few days ago and I can confirm its working perfectly fine. I just did software update on first boot, installed jellyfin and next thing Im watching a movie
they don't generally care about the pirated software
It feels like SolidSquad is working for Dassault lol. They want people to learn it so they can sell software to companies that makes money from it
I agree, its not even worth to try imo. Frame geometry is super important. Even extrusions can be painfull if they are not cut well enough. If you want the best result you should mill them (instead of cutting them with a saw).
3D printer tolerances are far from acceptable and then every material shrinks differently (+ there are many other disadvantages).
On the other hand, prusa and voron are examples of great use of 3D printed parts where you benefit from flex. Its a brave design decision that works amazingly well, but they can barelly print first layer without ABL or simmilar. Yeah...ABL compensates for shitty tolerances and we end up with bent 3D printed part that counts as perfect print lol
Print again same gcode. If the rings are at the same height its Z axis issue, otherwise model is just too tall
Intel g3930, 2x8GB RAM, 2x SSD, 1x HDD, integrated 1GB LAN = 30-35W. Kinda cheap here, 30-35€ a year
Idealy you want a server that runs all the time and some kind of a player connected to projector for streaming. You can use your rpi for server, but NUC sounds better since it probably has SATA or m.2 port for storage. Raspbian or Ubuntu doesnt matter much since both are Debian based and setup should be simmilar. Look into servarr if you are interested in automated downloads. Then get Jellyfin for Netflix like experience with your local library. Most clients support Jellyfin player and Im using android TV stick. I have just ordered ChromeCast with Google TV 4K to replacce my old 1080p Xiaomi TV stick. You can also install Netflix app on any Android device.
It is also possible to plug your server directly to projector via hdmi, but then you have to install server apps together with client apps on the same machine. I guess you need a wifi keyboard and mouse for remote control. Having 2 devices is better IMO, but it should work as single device.
Rpi or NUC can also be used as a player, but got no experience in setting that up and Android box is better solution for me anyway
I was mostly joking, but to use metric system you don't have to do much, just learn it. Honestly, I wasn't expecting I'll change the world aynway haha
Knowing both is useful and IMO it is the easiest for engineers and construction/production workers. For example here where I am, a lot of measurement tools have both units already (like measuring tape with meters and inches)
I don't get why Americans and some other countries don't use metric system. Guys! x10, x100, x1000 or mm, m, cm, km is way easier than 🦶, ", ', mile, yard or whatever weapon you use to hurt yourself lol. I know scientists get that, but its easy for them to convert anyway. Imagine that 120 cent is 1$ haha
I'm familiar with both, but only use inch for screen size and for some specific pipes that are made in ". And yeah, the guy from the picture is 188 cm tall or 1,88 m. Don't think anyone use 10th of the mm for that and even if they did they would probably say 1879,6 mm
I wonder where that extra 5 is coming from
Most likely PSU efficiency because they are bad on super low power. Still insane, 7W is nothing
2W is insane. I wonder how much it actually drains from the wall.
My server idles at 30-35W and turning it off for 6 hours at night (cheaper electricity) would save like 4€ a year. Its cheap here tho
If you are testing upload speed better try with public torrent since it is much harder to seed on private trackers.
I dont use seedbox, but kinda happy with airvpn
I see the mesh, but cant tell what is wrong with it. Is your mesh about the same every time after running ABL? If you check any point on the right side, do you think your bed and nozzle are at the same distance after every ABL run, but sensor reading is wrong on that side?
Basically you have to identify is your sensor faulty, otherwise your bed or X gantry might be moving in Z over time. Faulty sensor can be fixed or replaced or just go to manual mesh leveling.
I would try probing the same point multiple times in a row and see what difference you see in readings. You could also do a manual mesh and compare it with auto bed mesh.
Move nozzle close to the bed, disable XY motors and move nozzle around while observing the gap. 0.1 mm variation can be seen by naked eye (alternative to paper method) and you have 0.6 mm according to your mesh.
Use a metal ruler (or something flat) and a light to confirm how much and where is bed bent, again visual inspection.
You get different map every time? Maybe your sensor is not trigering consistently? Is it wobbly? Hopefully its the sensor issue, otherwise its probably hardware issue (X Gantry or bed).
the right side of the bed is always printing too close
If the height diffetrence is always the same, you can try manual bed mesh leveling (sensor not even required). Create one map and load it every time. You can also just eddit existing map if you know what is wrong.
Hey 3D printing fellas,
Are you worried about failures that can lead to disaster like printer catching on fire and burning down firniture and house? Do you use any kind of protection against fire?
I know metal enclosures are the best, but my printer is in the Ikea Lack enclosure. I checked connections and everything looks great, but I soldered cable on the heated bed anyway. Im not super worried tbh, but Im thinking about buying Stovetop Firestop and mounting it inside the enclosure just in case. This one is triggered with open flame only, so probably false activation is not possible. I would probably buy 2 more for kitchen.
There are also balls and other extinguisher shapes, but the one from the picture seems more recommended. Bad thing is I cant find that one availabls in europe. There are also smoke detectors, but they can only alarm you or cut the power.
What do you use? Can you recommend any good automatic extinguisher available in europe?
Every time I wake up PC from sleep I have to go to bluetooth settings -> select device -> enable connection to get sound on bluetooth speakers (Anker Soundcore). Bluetooth came with MBO and drivers were working out of the box after PopOS install.
I hope there is a command I can use instead of clicking in the GUI. Anyone know a command I could use?
[SOLUTION]
Using this command (with bluetooth speaker MAC address):
bluetoothctl connect A4:77:58:0A:DF:F1
[SOLUTION]
Bonus question: I was thinking I could map that command to a keyboard shortcut (like CTRL+ALT+B). What is the best way (or app) to accomplish this? I believe I could google this part quickly, but happy to hear suggestions anyway
[SOLUTION]
It's possible with PopOS: Settings -> Keyboard -> Keaboard Shortcuts -> Custom Shortcuts

This is a custom wall mount for my 2nd screen Dell P2417H (simmilar models with same stand will fit as well). It's a 24" monitor with pivot stand (can adjust up/down, portrait/landscape and tilt), but it doesnt suppport vesa mount (edit: this is wrong, it does support vesa, but then cant use pivot mechanism). I wanted it on the wall so I printed 3 parts out out of PLA. One part is screwed in the wall and the other one is securing monitor in place using zip ties. 3rd part is a small shelf that is mounted underneath (with original screw for monitor base), but its there mostly to provide a flat surface between monitor and a wall.
I've been using it (2 actually) for few years in old place and I love it. It can be a bit tricky to tighten zip ties, but its only done once anyway.
I'll upload files if someone needs them
First time I printed something made in FreeCAD. It's a table lamp for our balcony, more like a mood light than a real lamp hehe. Its made from 3 parts (base, tube and a hat). Base and tube are CA glued and I used some insulating tape to fit a hat tightly. The lamp is about 240 mm tall and its powered from 9V battery. Battery case and steel weight are glued with some blue tack (white tack lol) to hold it in the place. There are 2 LEDs and resistor soldered together in series. I might replace the leds with lower powered ones if battery goes out too fast, but time will tell. Im also thinking about different hats, but first iteration was quick and dirty, I love it!

Hey guys, I was happily running 44 docker containers for a while on Debian host. Today I tried to add a new service (uptime-kuma) using portainer stacks, but I got this error:
>Error response from daemon: could not find an available, non-overlapping IPv4 address pool among the defaults to assign to the network
Quick google led me to this link where I found possible problem with max number of docker networks. I did docker network prune, it removed 5 networks that were not in use and viola, uptime-kuma is working now!
Am I reaching the limit? What to do if I need 10 more services on the same host? I bet I saw some people in this community running many more services
This is a followup of my last post where I was looking for a solution to our problem with smell coming from the kitchen hood (extractor) when neighobour is cooking. I got many good suggestions, but @Finlsolo963 pointed me to Shut-off Damper with motor that looks like perfect fit. I hope it can stop the smell completely in closed position and open automatically when we start using hood.
I was looking at this Damper
I could use Shelly Plus Plug S to detect power usage of the hood which trigers Shelly 2.5 to open Damper. After turning off the hood, power will go down and automation would triger another channel of Shelly 2.5 to close the Damper.
What do you think about the setup? Is there any better hardware you would suggest? I dont mind spending more for beter sealing when Damper is closed. I like the one from the link mostly because its 220V and I could use shelly relays which seems super simple to implement. I already own Shelly Plug S that I could use, but its not a must. Im also opet to zigbee devices.
Bonus question: what would happen if something goes wrong and both channels of Shelly 2.5 triger at the same time? It would be like pressing Open and Close buttons at the same time.
Thanks in advance
Hey guys Im a proud owner of Delonghi Magnifica S automatic espresso machine for 6 months now. Our water is super hard with loads of scale and I have been cleaning (descaling) machine with Delonghi EcoDecalc, but friend recommends this one (much cheaper):
Is this safe to use? It says it contains citric, lactic and malic acid. It also says to use 50 ml on 500 ml of water while Delonghi EcoDecalc should be 100 ml on 1700 ml (I think) of water. Its almost 2x difference and I was thinking if acids are simmilar I should use 100 ml of acid for full tank anyway.
We abuse our machine by making loads of coffe and tea. With scale settings on max we get descaling alarm every 3-4 weeks. It used to be on medium settings, but machine almost clogged completely once...so thats why max settings. Delonghi liquid is not cheap, but dont want to take any risk for 30€ a year. On the other hand, I dont want to pay 10€ for a 2-3€ product just because it says Delonghi on the bottle.
What do you use for your machine? How often do you descale?
Hey peeps, I moved to a new appartment and my kitchen hood is connected to the same pipe (chimney) as hood from appartment below. The issue is smell coming from our hood when neighbour is cooking.
I was thinking about some kind of sensor (air flow or humidity or smell?) that can detect when neighbour is cooking and then HA would turn on our hood at the lowest speed.
I have no clue what kind of sensor would be suitable. I also need to figure out how to start our hood with HA (hacking with relay or buying some kind of smart kitchen hood is acceptable). Our kitchen hood is just regular Faber with 4 position switch for selecting fan speed.
Anyone have idea how to solve that issue? What sensor would be best for that?
Note that I have already installed 1-way valve (not sure whats the correct english word) and 3 different filters, but still sucks
Edit: I got some things going on, cant replay to all comments today and probbly tomorrow. Thank you all for input, Ill come back asap
I have some Bitcoin and Ethereum on Coinbase since 2018. Coinbase never failed me, but they ask for more and more personal details. Last requests made me look for alternatives. I read wasabi is one of the best privacy focused wallets, but what do you use? Im not trying to hide anything from goverment or anything like that, I just want safe place for coins that doesnt feel like someone is tracking every single step I make
Edit: made sentence more clear
Hello selfhosters,
I recently moved to a new place with faster internet (320/130 Mbps) and now I see that VPN is limiting my torrent speed.
I was testing multiple AirVPN (wireguard) servers and I'm getting 80-120 Mbps on speedtest-cli, but in torrents it goes bit higher to about 180-200 Mbps. I usually use it trought gluetun container, but was also testing with eddie-cli and I get pretty much the same results.
I was reading that people get 600 Mbps and even 1+ Gbps on AirVPN. What is your experience? If this is AirVPN limit, what would you suggest as alternative with port forwarding to saturate my bandwidth? I can live with these speeds, just want to check if there is better alternative or something missconfigured on my side.
Cheers
I know we had posts like this before, but Immich deserves 👏
One more update, one less container, the best Google Photos alternative, its just amazing!!
Don't forget to edit your docker-compose before updating
He guys,
after upgrading to Nextcloud 27 I noticed some errors in Security & setup warnings. I fixed all of them, but don't know what to do with this one. I've read documentation, but still don't know what to do. How to fix this or should I just ignore it?
I'm running lsio docker container, Nextcloud version 27.1.4
Hello selfhosters,
I need recommendation for cheap VPS that I will use to host gramps only. Gramps is selfhosted app for building family tree.
I tested gramps in docker container on my home server and its awesome, check it out. My home server is not open to public (accessing it using wireguard only) and I would like to give access to some family members (3-4) for gramps. I thought its best to pay for cheap VPS and run gramps only to avoid any security issues on my home network.
I believe performance and storage requirements fit in any cheapest model, but not sure which VPS is the easiest to setup. I have my own domain from porkbun, but I have never set SSL certs properly before and I have never used VPS. I see this as a great opportunity to learn, but also to make some family members happy <3
I'm eying servercheap.com and it says in description "1 IPv4", but then it offers "Add'l Ipv4 Addresses" for 9$. I'm bit lost here and I'm not even sure do I need IPv4 address. Maybe I can run duckdns or ddclient to avoid additional cost?
How is your experience with servercheap? Is there anything better for similar price?
Also, any tips for building server like that are appreciated. I was thinking Debian 11 + gramps in docker container since I'm familiar with that setup.
Cheers
Hey guys,
how to find out why Sonarr can't send test message via Gotify? I'm getting "Unable to send test message " in logs. I'm using discord notifications with no problem.
I tried moving Gotify in the same docker stack as my arr apps. Gotify is running behind gluetun just to make it available on the same network (maybe not necessary?). I have opened port for Gotify (8099) in UFW. I can send msg to Gotify using Android phone.
While discord is working fine, I'm trying to move away from it. If there is any alternative to Gotify please let me know. I'm running docker containers on Debian host.
thank you
edit: If I try to open Sonarr console and do curl -v http://192.168.100.40:8099/message?token=AOhF2MthB0V1IhV its just hanging and then console closes (using protainer)
So basically what title says.
Im using 2FA with google authenticator for multiple accounts. What if my phone gets stolen? Can I have some kind of backup? Or maybe sync with some self hosted service?
Bonus question: what 2FA should I use instead of google?
[SOLVED] 12 TB disk finally arrived, I used clonezilla. Using advanced settings and -k1 (everything else left as default) made exact disk with more storage. I just replaced disks, powered on and everything is up and running! Ty all ❤️
Hello selfhosters,
I'm running home server DIY PC with *arr stack in docker containers and its working surprisingly well. The problem I have is not enough storage for my needs so I ordered a new HDD.
At the moment I have OS (Debian) and some (config) volumes on one SSD while media library is on another SSD. I'd like to move only media library from old to a new HDD and stop using the old one.
What is the best way to move all files (including hard links?) to a new drive? Can I just copy files with same folder structure and then modify my docker-compose.yaml to point to a new HDD? Is backup and restore of *arr apps necessary? Is there any way to grab all torrent files from qbittorrent (or another way of backup?
Folder structure I have now:
System SSD:
- SSD1/config/sonarr
- SSD1/config/radarr
- SSD1/config/qbittorrent
Data SSD:
- SSD2/data/media/tv
- SSD2/data/media/movies
- SSD2/data/torrent/tv
- SSD2/data/torrent/movies
THX!
Hello selfhosters,
I have opportunity for free CPU upgrade from g3930 to i3-8100, but not sure is it worth?
Server ATM is happy DIY PC build made from desktop components:
- MBO: MSI Z270-A PRO
- CPU: intel G3930
- RAM: DDR4 8GB
- PSU: ATX 550W
- plus storage and no GPU
Im running debian with 30+ containers (*arrs, jellyfin, nextcloud, pihole, npm and many more) and its amazing for our needs (2 users), pulls around 20-25 W on idle from the wall. I could use bit more juice to speed up Nextcloud for example and maybe to be able to transcode 4K in the future (don't have any 4K screen yet)? Not sure if this upgrade can help at all?
Now I got i3-8100 for free, but not sure is there any downside like extra power usage on idle? I would like to avoid replacing CPU for unnoticable performance increase. Comparing specs its pure upgrade and i3 is 2x more expensive.
One of them will probably end up like e-waste in one of the hidden boxes that I keep away from everyone including myself :D
All suggestions are welcome
