Thank you. This is more aligned with what I was hoping for. I wanted a way to access these services but still lock the device down as much as I can. Thank you for sharing.

Actually this is a more clear idea of what I was looking for. A device I could get these apps on and still have control over the device.

Thank you for the tips! This seems like it may be a good option.

Was actually unaware of SmartTube. Looks like it may cover that part for me :). I had also never heard of LineageOS, I’ll take a look there too. I have a Pi4 laying about I was going to use.

As for FireTV I may just end up going that rout, I was just curious what the options looked like. Thank you for taking the time to enlighten me :).

Actually hadn’t though of this. Thank you!

I do have a pi-hole set up, but alas it won’t stop YT ads.

Ohhh I may have to look into unraid then. Didn’t realize there was a one time deal. Thanks for the tips.

Makes sense! Thanks for saving me some time and money. I have gig internet as is so I know both my router and switch can handle it. Should be good with what I’ve got then for a while. Thank you kindly :))

I generally do prefer containers. But I’ll be sure to stick to them as much as possible. Thanks for the tips!

Ahhh well then I should be good on 1g. Thanks for saving me some bucks though :)

Thanks for the reply! Yes, having a clear upgrade path was a big part of this. Just being able to move forward when needed without replacing stuff for a bit.

I’ll have to look at jellyfin I haven’t dug too deep on the media host yet. Thanks for the heads up :))

Looks like 4 sata headers. So prolly gonna grab some hdds.

As for my network. I have a decent router, though I can’t remember the model at the moment. I’m using a 1gig switch at the moment to split everything through my network. I’m planning to get that upgraded to a 10g next.

Eyy! That got it! I think I’m still going to set up nginx to make it easier as I add more self hosts so I’m not trying to memorize everything’s port. Thank you kindly for your time!

Do you happen to know how I would find what port it’s on and where I would change it? My Pi-hole actually defaulted to /admin, and when using my Searx instance I never had to use a port, so I’m not entirely sure where that info would be.

I’m interested in how I would do this. Google basically just gives me steps for assigning IPs to VMs which isnt quite what I’m looking for.

Got it, thank you kindly :)

Ignore my ignorance here. You’re talking about something like Nginx?
