Just to be sure there isn’t a misunderstanding. With 7th gen I mean any intel iX-7xxx processor or higher.

The first (or first 2) numbers of the second part of the processor name determine the generation of the processor. The number immediately following the i just denotes the performance tier within the processors own generation

I run a couple of containers on my lenovo mini pc. I have proxmox installed on bare metal and then one VM for truenas, one for docker containers and one for home assistant OS.

For me the limiting factor is definitely RAM. I have 20GB (because the machine came with a 2x4GB configuration and I bought a single 16GB upgrade stick) and am constantly at ~98% utilization.

To be fair, about half of that is eaten up by TrueNAS alone due to ZFS.

The point I’m trying to make is basically make sure you can put enough RAM into your machine. Some NAS have soldered memory you won’t be able to upgrade. The CPU performance you need highly depends on what you want to do.

In my case the only CPU intensive task I have is media transcoding which can often be offloaded to dedicated bardware like intel quicksync. The only annoying exception is hardware transcoding of x265 media which is apparently only supported from intel 7th gen and upwards processors and I have a 6th gen i5… Or maybe I configured something wrong. No clue

Edit: I wrote that after reading the first half of your comment. Regarding connecting a screen, I think I had one connected once to set up proxmox. Afterwards I just log into the proxmox web interface. If required I can use that to get a GUI session of each VM as well.

Good to know. I thought there was some issue with those ports and the reverse-proxy because the DLNA function doesn’t seem to be working but from some googling this seems to be more of a docker problem in general when you are not using host mode for networking.

Thanks for the configuration example. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work for me. I’ve replied to someone above with screenshots of what my configuration now looks like. The base_url option you use there wasn’t available to me because it apparently has been deprecated and replaced with internal_url and external_url.

Thanks. I tried it like this and still get a 400 Bad Request error.

Someone below mentioned adding some more IPs to the trusted_proxies list so I tried that as well without result. The IP I used for the reverse-proxy is the IP listed in portainer under the network for the proxy container. Just to reiterate, the container is running on a different device than homeassistant (technically same device but different VM but that shouldn’t make a difference).

http:
  use_x_forwarded_for: true
  trusted_proxies:
    - 192.168.208.2 # IP of reverse-proxy in its network
    - 192.168.208.0/20 # Subnet of proxy docker network
    - 192.168.1.103 # HA IP

By exposed you basically mean that I can reach them using my browser? I can reach my homeassistant web ui on port 8123 but when I try to forward to that port with the servers IP I get a 400 Bad Request error. I’m not sure if this is caused by nginx being unable to forward or by homeassistant not accepting the connection somehow

Can proxmox do docker containers? Last I checked it could only do LXC

I use annas archive for ebooks but I organize those with calibre, not audiobookshelf because I have a somewhat peculiar organization scheme that relies on calibres custom columns and export feature.

My audiobooks I get from abtorrents but I heard great things about myanonamouse

By adding do you mean blocking it in pi-hole or somehow redirecting it to your pi-hole dns server?

I currently have it blocked in my router and can confirm this by trying to ping 8.8.8.8 without any response. If you mean redirecting to your pi-hole I would really like to know how to do it

The company says services like Plex, Pluto TV, Sling TV, Starz, and ZDF will introduce support later this year.

I always had the impression that plex was really slow when it comes to implementing new features. I’m definitely looking forward to a chromecast alternative though. Being locked into googles DNS gives me problems due to it prohibiting streaming from my local server via hostname.

I really hope it will be implemented in Jellyfin as well since I can’t get my installation to work with Chromecast at all (most likely again due to the DNS issue)

Same. My organization scheme heavily relies on calibres custom columns and export schemas though so it would be hard for me to switch anyway.

The only 2 things I dislike about calibre are the lack of a server based version and the inability to assign a book to multiple series

Audiobookplayer

Which program do you mean with this? I’m only familiar eith audiobookshelf
