hi! first time posting from this account, but a long time lurker.
I have Adguard Home on my router, but here are my other machines. I’m currently working on overhauling the NUC, mostly because I didn’t know what I was doing when I got it.
I use Dokploy for my services right now, I like it more than Portainer.
currently running on a Raspberry Pi 4:
- Diun (for notifying me of updates to my containers)
- PDFding (for my ttrpg collection and some other stuff like crochet patterns)
- Grimmory (for ebooks)
- Mealie (for recipe storage, I don’t really use the other features)
- Pinepods (for podcasts)
- Shiori (for archiving webpages and bookmarks)
things I’m going to be running on my NUC:
- Prowlarr (it’s just easier for me to find stuff using the interface)
- Diun (again, notifying me of updates)
- RomM (for game ROMs, I like that some of them I can play in my browser or put on my desktop)
- SABnzbd (for sailing!)
- Qbittorrent (same deal as above)
- Emby (was using Jellyfin but for a couple reasons I want to try Emby. if I don’t like it, I’m going back to Jellyfin)
- Tubeless (it’s a fork of Pinchflat, which is a way to download Youtube videos specifically to watch them through something like Emby or Jellyfin)
- Navidrome (for music playing, planning on using Feishin on desktop and Symfonium to listen to it on my phone)
- MusicGrabber (kinda does what it says)
- probably Immich (unsure on this, might just store my photos for safekeeping but I kinda like the idea of looking at them laid out like Immich does)
I currently have a 10TB NAS in RAID 1 for storage, though I’ve found it a bit difficult to map storage to docker containers while leaving the databases on the NUC because I have very little experience and am still learning. thankfully, I’m taking notes this time around.
I would love to get more storage, but man. prices.
Oh I can actually answer something, neat.
I thought I was missing the appeal too, but when I got back into tabletop roleplaying games, a lot of the community is located over on Substack blogs, and I don’t like Substack. My solution was to start running FreshRSS and put all of the feeds into it so I could read at my own pace, and also not have to go to a million sites to keep track of content. Saves me a lot of tabs in an internet browser, if nothing else.
Sadly, not all sites or blogs have RSS feeds to hand out, but I’ve used https://openrss.org/ to get around that for the most part if they don’t.
