Document Sharing - Nextcloud + Collabora Code

With the media server more or less wrapped up (we'll probably revisit that for improvements down the line), another thing we may want to accomplish is become independent of Google Drive and the Google office applications (or OneDrive and Office 365). To that end, we'll deploy

Media Server, Pt. 8 - Mylar3

Mylar turned out to need a little surgery to make work. The basic setup is pretty standard - create the directories it needs, modify the compose file: $ mkdir /srv/data/docker/mylar3/{config,custom-cont-init.d} $ sudo chown -R 10019:10002 /srv/data/docker/mylar3 $ sudo chmor -R g-rwx,o-rwx /srv/

Aside - DNS

So, I clearly missed a post. Means you get two today. Possibly three, if I'm feeling ambitious. Right now, it's time to talk about something I probably should have mentioned earlier: You will need a DNS domain with the ability to add an arbitrary number of

Media Server, Pt 7 - Arr stack

The various *arr applications are what I use to acquire media files. Setting them up is not all that complicated; you will need to set up storage space for each of them: $ mkdir -p /srv/data/docker/{rad,son,read,lid,prowl}arr/{config,custom-cont-init.d,custom-services.d} $ sudo chgrp

Media Server, Pt 6 - Jellyfin

Probably should have pushed this earlier - Jellyfin is the actual core of the media server part of this. It's the server that users actually connect to in order to watch movies or TV shows; it has some limited capability to serve e-books and music as well, so

Media Server, Pt 5 - Transmission

Like Sabnzbd, Transmission is a downloader - this one, for Torrents. The basic steps for installation of a new container should be pretty evident by now: Create the storage directories, add to the compose file, although now that we have Authentik installed, there's another step, at least for

Media Server, Pt 4 - Sabnzbd

Now we're starting the fun. Note that the current configuration of the main branch does not include outbound connectivity for the media server, nor will it. This is to make it a conscious choice on the part of my readers to permit, or not permit, their containers to

Dogfooding it, Pt 7 - Authentik

I was trying to avoid this. Getting into authentication is a rabbit hole. For the moment, I am choosing Authentik because it is reasonably easy to configure, and supports the features I want. For a good start, Authentik uses Redis / Valkey as memory cache. So, we'll need to

Media Server, Pt 3 - VPN

Entire books have been written about this. I'm not going to repeat them here, no go into all the various arguments to be had. The fact of the matter is, though, sometimes, for whatever reason, you don't want people to be able to easily track online

Media Server, Pt 2 - Directory Structure

The various components making up a media server by necessity interact. There'll be PVR applications to manage movies, serialized shows, music, and electronic books; downloaders to obtain content - only that my dear readers are licensed to obtain, of course; and the media servers themselves to enable the
