“or a 6 year old that gets 5 minutes alone with your mouse” haha. I have a 10 year old with a tendency to be inquisitive with electronic devices. He is pure of heart, but we joke that some day the NSA is going to come knocking. He wouldn’t hack a bank to get money, he would just be “exploring” what is possible instead of reading directions. lol. Question though. When you do want to delete something. I am guessing you logon to your media server and do it from your user account?
And you are using a reverse proxy because you want to expose jellyfin to the general internet? And you don’t want to have to trust jellyfin’s security (which is very reasonable) ?
What is the role of traefik? I looks like networking software for something more like a k8s cluster with lots of pods going up and down all the time. We use linkerd at my job which seems like it has some overlap. But they both seem like overkill when running on a single node system unless I am missing something.
When you say “Backup your docker config folders”. Are you talking about the directory were you would store the dockerfile / docker compose file?
Well, mainly it is just what I read in various “guides”. But also it sounds easier to assemble… the minipc is just a box, no need to do any hardware stuff. And I think the NAS is pretty much the same. Plus it would allow me to easily start small on space and then add more (I think).
Also, I think it would be quieter. I assume putting it all in one would mean basically a tower with lots of fans and what not. The minipc is supposed to be pretty quiet. Don’t know about the NAS though.
It does help thanks. And part of this set of questions was just me exploring stuff thoughts and looking to learn… so I have a follow up question or two.
You mention docker volumes make a lot of sense with multiple nodes. How does that work out? We use pv’s and such with k8s at work, and the ones we use can only be mounted on one node at a time. From what others have said, allowing many write from multiple nodes has a lot of complications. Do docker volumes handle writing from multiple nodes?
And… “streaming video isn’t super latency sensitive”. I’m super new to streaming video. I would have expected it to be sensitive to latency. I mean you expect the video to keep playing and not stop. Whereas most of the things I work with (api’s and what not) can have an extra second or two to respond with little relevant difference. So clearly there is some depth here I don’t understand.
