Veeam community edition is fine for most things.
If you are cheeky, generate yourself an NFR license on their website.

Edit: Veeam plans a Linux version for VBR 13.
Veeam Agent can run stand-alone on both Linux (only specific distros are actually supported. Non-supported might work) and Windows

Using Veeam.
It’s whole purpose is doing backups from small deployments up to the datacenter level.
Might be worth taking a look.
And the documentation is very good.

Seems like you never had a childhood when (proper) paper planes were common?

r/bitchIAmATrain and r/bitchIAmABus wanna argue (please link equivalent community)

Planes don’t fall just out of the sky. They’ll glide.

Not to mention: Snapshots.

My advice (if you can): Create a dedicated NAS VM and use samba the native way.
Or use a dedicated storage server with native samba.

Until they arent.
They are experts because they knew what clicking the wrong button might do.
E.g.: Database admins using the wrong script with a miscconfigured argument or a backup admin responding to a failover, tripple checking every setting to not create a problematic failover and then still clicking the wrong button causing an outage because some random behaviour caused an overload.

It happens. And best case you were better (double or tripple) safe than sorry.

IMO this attitude is problematic. It encourages people (especially newbies) to think they can’t trust anything, that software is by nature unreliable. I was one of those people once.

IMO: Exactly the reverse. That’s how we get clients clicking and agreeing to everything presented without for once thinking critically.

In 6 working years (MSP) I had probably less than 10 occurrences of clients questioning a security concept from their own action.
If we didnt protect them from their own stupidity, the amount of cyber breaches would explode…

Just recently:
A client: I clicked on the box that is asking me for domain credentials.

The client didnt say what type of window it was or what happened before/after.
The client juat contacted us, because the pc wouldnt connect to the network and thus was unusable… >_>

How about this:
Humans (or humans assisted by AI) write documentation
Users (devs included) can either choose to read the manual the old fashioned way or utilize it like a sort of swagger api documentation to give

1. Information to a question (How to do x)
2. Provide a general example
3. (Assuming it’s used with an IDE or has information about the project) Provide a personalized example on the implementation.

That’s what Symfonium can do:

And has these sources:

Your app sounds interesting though.

What I quite like about Symfonium is how much configuration freedom it gives you.
Might check yours out as well.

You tell me Android TV (on a google chromecast) is not user friendly?
Same for Android? (Can’t speak for iOS. Not using that)

Bro, even my mother uses it and she uses a single browser tab for research and struggled to understand why a password manager is more advantageous than a piece of paper. Meaning she isnt a tech wiz beyond common sense.

Now playback is another story. Jellyfin still is a bit struggling playing back all files consistently out of the box that’s true.
Some playback quirks like waiting for the transcode buffering on a black screen is usual for me but users expect feedback that something is happening.

You should ditch Roku amyway considering the posts I have seen here on lemmy.

it can only be accessed by browsers from outside the network.

Weird.
If I nslookup my jellyfin URL it responds with an IP in my local IP range…
And it works both outside with a 2FA page and inside without…

No, you don’t need a RP.
You can and should set it up though as it’s a very good convenient feature.

But you can expose Jellyfin directly.

If you can set it up? Yup.
Behind CGNAT? Maybe you need to set up a relay or something to circumvent it.

Ironically Plex users cling to their solution like it’s life or death without considering the other side.
Just like when someone mentions that Windows has it’s place too and sometimes Linux isnt the be all and end all of all OS.

The hyprocrisy of some users here…

Was does it do better than say ‘Symfonium’?

I am using a Pixel 7 Pro and disabled the Google Passwortmanager and set Bitwarden as my preferred manager.
So either Google did something, Firefox can’t reach some ressource or I didnt configure something correctly.

Set up smb on my file share VM.
My dedicated docker host accesses it through an NFS mount.
