I’m still dabbling with this, but so far I have a Pi Zero2W with a reSpeaker 2-Mics Pi HAT and an old speaker (no idea where from) that (luckily?) has the correct connector on.
It’s ok as a geeky POC, but it needs work to gain sufficient WAF
How well doea the NUC perform as a Frontend? I have a small TV in a spare room which could benefit from a separate Frontend…
Glad we helped you :)
I think Myth can record from the homerun boxes?
I’m lucky the OTA scheduling works well enough for me - only issue is that I can only see a few days ahead.
Ah, ok, you’re a bit of a contributor… I helped with a couple of patches and loads of wiki edits (that needed much love a few years ago)
TVDb is still hit & miss, but much better than it used to be.
And yeah, Myth’s not ideal for external streaming…
Yeah, I was kinda thinking about a combined Myth Backend / *arr box and then see whether Myth Frontend or Jellyfin worked “better” (for my use case)… just need a spare weekend to try it all out.
That’s me… Jedi Advert Avoider
Yep, still alive 🙂
Not heard of Tablo… I’ll take a look
Yeah, now it’s charity shops… walk in, pay almost nothing for some DVDs, rip the disk, return them to another charity shop…
Better business model than Blockbuster 😉
Yeah, Myth’s built-in internet browser is pretty dire - I have a 2nd virtual desktop to open a browser if I want to watch something via the internet, but I don’t bother with Netflix, etc…
No. Maybe it is where you’re located, but for me it’s fine.
Movies come from the high seas, so I’m not too worried about them, but there’s some good stuff on terestrial TV definitely
Agreed.
If the hardware’s standard, then it’s possible for people (us) to keep these things out of the ground / incinerator for a few more years, but if it’s custom / proprietary stuff, then that’s just terrible.
I must get around to looking into 2FA / MFA sooooon (next ~5 years)
Did you find it really straight forward to get setup?
I think the fear of getting started with these things is sometimes worth it (home system offline for days) but often it’s quite simple…?
Just to add… if you don’t want this, the minimal version of the HA app doesn’t use 3rd party systems for notifications (you’d need to setup something yourself), so if this is a problem for you, there’s also that option…
Just sayin’…
Maybe not a docker solution, but you could throw pfSense into a VM and do all that from there
I use it (as it’s intended) as my firewall, but I used to use these as general purpose network security VMs in the past (just because I know the product well)
So for you: no firewall rules, just setup DNS with pfBlocker (for the advert blocking) and setup the VPN as required…
Just an idea…
I’d also split #2 further:
2a: Using a domestic DSL router and Synology NAS to run everything 2b: Has a Raspberry Pi (or 6) maybe a 2nd repurposed old PC and possibly an unmanaged switch 2c: Full height 19" rack, UPS, firewalls, managed switches, full virtualisation with SAN, redundancy and 100Gb full fibre internet
I’m somewhere between 2b and 2c
Ok, thanks… Good to know for a rainy day.
Not heard of RouterOS before … <quick search> I didn’t realise jad released firmware that would run in a normal VM… don’t suppose you have anything to compare it to pfSense?
Yeah… I’ve been trying out the resizable cards and… well… hopefully the next version will be better.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for incremental improvements and that means we need a Step1 somewhere.
I wanted to just change one dashboard, but there’s no migration option (yet?) which is fair enough, so I created a new one and tried copying over cards…
I have a couple of Glance cards with a title and I can’t really get a single row of icons with title to line up nicely unless I use a 3-row card…
But, it’s also nice to slim down a Graph card to just 2 or 3 columns wide if it’s a short-duration graph.
I look forward to the next revision.
