I ran swarm in a homelab and ended up switching back. I don’t remember all the details I had issues with, but be aware of quorum. Here is the link to high availability docs. If one of the nodes goes down then you can’t do anything with the other. I also had issues getting everyone back online when one went down (with only two). I had three nodes, but one failed and I didn’t replace it. If one of the remaining two went offline I had to manually setup the swarm again each time. I found it to be a hassle because I didn’t have enough need for multiple nodes and high availability.

I now use Pangolin (Underlying traefik) on a VPS which VPNs back into my home where I host the sites. I have the VPN on it’s own proxmox container in the same VLAN as my servers.

See if you have a microcenter near you. Not sure about delivery though, but I love that place.

I agree, the DJ and playlist features are pretty great. Definitely what I missed when trying Finamp. If anyone has another suggestion that does similar I’m game to try. Just to try and start to divest from Plex.

How is the music discovery on Tempo?

I’ve never really played with it, but was hoping it might help. If I have some time this afternoon I can play some more (honestly I’m intrigued as well).

In the mean time, you might try the command below and see if it will work instead. It should just return messages already sent, it I’m not sure how many.

ntfy.sh/mytopic/json?poll=1

You might be able to start with the built-in json stream

Yeah, I’d be doing that bank if there’s any choice.

Edit: Leaving (my attention got taken away as I posted)

This is 100% my experience and setup. (Though I run Debian for my docker VM)

I did run docker in an LXC but ran into some weird permission issues that shouldn’t have existed. Ran it again in VM and no issues with the same setup. Decided to keep it that way.

I do run my plex and jellyfin on an LXC tough. No issues with that so far.

That was one of the things I got wrong at first as well. But it totally makes it much easier in the long run.

I have proxmox on bare metal, an HBA card to passthrough to TrueNAS Scale. I’ve had good luck with this setup.

The HBA card is to passthrough to TrueNAS so it can get direct control of the drives for ZFS. I got mine on eBay.

I’m running proxmox so that I can separate some of my processes (e.g. plex LXC) into a different VM.
