Synology supports docker containers. Just run jellyfin.

This is exactly what happens. Actually the whole Wayland/xorg thing is not necessary, simply exiting a Wayland session and starting a new one will probably have the same effect, might depend on compositor. But it doesn’t help knowing that it’s the cause, I’ve known it for years, no closer to a solution. Obviously closing the tmux session and starting over is a “fix” in the same way that turning the machine off and on again is a fix. Kinda defeats the purpose of persistent tmux sessions.

Have you tried kitty? It’s seriously nice if you can live with the occasional “oh no I sshed to a server that doesn’t have the correct terminfo files and now none of the normal terminal navigation features work”

This doesn’t really install it, though, you can’t update or permanently edit and config, set up users, or anything like that. I would guess OP wants something more like booting the ISO in a VM, allocating a thumb drive to that VM, and then installing a full system to it with a boot loader.

If I may ask, why do we want to enable tearing now? There are pages and pages across the wikis on how to fix tearing…

Again The issue on the repo. The developers recommend just using the app feature of the browsers to get similar functionality without the security concerns.

I honestly just did it to try to get cleaner logs having the container only be responsible for the proxying.

If you look at the repo, the very first line in the readme links to an issue that briefly explains why you should care.

Unmaintained software comes in two categories:

1. The software is done. It does exactly what it was meant to do and it was written in a language and in such a way as to be pretty future proof. Examples are some basic code libraries or command line utilities.
2. The software had to be updated all the time to keep up with changing environments and security problems, so the dev got sick of it and dropped it. Or a better solution came along so the developer felt free to finally drop the burden.

Nativefier falls in the second category and the second clause. Don’t use it.

I’ll try that, but since I haven’t been able to find any related issues I’m pretty sure it’s a configuration error on my part. Hehe the regretfully long post. Next step will probably be to open an issue on authentik’s GitHub but since I think it’s a pebkac I would prefer not to waste their time.

You asked for my python script but now I can’t seem to load that comment to reply directly to it. Anyway, here’s the script, I haven’t bothered to upload the repo anywhere. I’m sure it isn’t perfect but it works fine for me. The action for opening evolution when you click the tray icon is specific to hyprland so will probably need to be modified to suit your needs.

If you want to do this, what you probably want is to pump your logs into a log drain, something like betterstack is good. They then allow you to set up discrepancy thresholds and can send you emails when something seems to be out of the ordinary. There’s probably a self hosted thing that works the same way but I’ve never found a simple setup. You can do the whole Prometheus, influxdb, grafana setup but imo it’s too much work, and then you still have to set up email smtp separate from that.

Literally had to write my own Python applet monitoring the DB file for this. Absurd limitation.

Came to write basically this. I would try caddy but my compose file is 600 lines long now and half of that is traefik labels, I can’t be arsed with the migration.

I’m using 555 open with hyprland. No issues and I can finally suspend and resume, using the NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 module param after being unable to all year.

Imo stick to amd. I was like you, I thought the Nvidia card would be an upgrade and I thought the rumors of how bad Nvidia was had to be at least a little exaggerated, but honestly it’s a constant pita. Aside from the suspend issue I’ve had random minor system upgrades cause kernel panics and fry my boot more than once this year. That bug is still unresolved btw, their response time leaves much to be desired.

Having dockerized ollama just work is nice, but it’s not worth it, and they seem to be close to a working vulkan based runner for that anyway.

I do have nightly off-site backups, that’s true. Still, having the git repo be on the same machine doesn’t seem right to me.

That would fill the same role as watchtower I guess? I’ve previously tried to have a look at having portainer manage the docker compose stack that it’s running inside but at least back then it seemed to be a dead end and not really what portainer is meant to do. I’m not interested in moving away from docker compose at this time.

I’d be a bit concerned with having the git repo also be hosted on the machine itself. If the drives break it’s all gone. I could of course have two remotes but then pushing changes still becomes a multi step procedure.

Oh for sure for sure. I just know that a lot of people use their homelab to learn skills that they can put on their resume when looking for a job. It’s totally fair to over engineer your self hosting setup if that’s your goal.

You should definitely figure out some infra as code system now while it’s manageable. Normally I’d recommend docker-compose as it’s very easy to learn and has a huge ecosystem, but since you’re using proxmox you might need to look at ansible like the other commenter said. Having IaC with git makes it so much easier to test new stuff, roll changes back, and all that good stuff, in addition to solving your original problem of forgetting what is running where.

Just find the simplest IaC solution possible. Unless you are gunning for a job in infrastructure you don’t need to go into kubernetes or terraform or anything like that, you just need something reproducible that you can easily understand and modify.

Ah, fooled by the title yet again!
