I went the nuclear option and am using Talos with Flux to manage my homelab.

My source of truth is the git repo with all my cluster and application configs. With this setup, I can tear everything down and within 30 min have a working cluster with everything installed automatically.

As long as your important data is safe, go mess things up. Break things, read the docs, reinstall if necessary. This is how we all learn.

I can’t count the number of times I’ve had to reinstall because I attempted a fix that made things worse. It’s not the end of the world… In fact each time you do you’ll be better at it.

When your data is safe (backed up or stored on a NAS) the reinstall stakes are a lot lower so there’s not as much pressure to keep things perfect. Figure out how to automate your computer’s config (I use ansibe) and it’s even lower. When that is setup you could reinstall and be ready to go in under an hour.

For me, Bluefin as been the only flawless distro.

Run ‘docker container ls -a’ and you should see the first container still there. Then do ‘docker container rm {insert-container-id-here}’. That will remove the initial container that failed. Rerun your second command and you should be gtg.

Edit: don’t include the quotes.

Thanks! I didn’t find this when searching. Guess I’ll be searching for another solution for my setup.

Do you have a source for that? I’m using syncthing for this exact purpose.

The guide doesn’t set an upper bound on the UHD quality profiles, but that doesn’t mean you have to set up yours exactly the same.

I have mine set with reasonable limits and have never run into a problem with file size, just have to make sure you’re setting the values to something that’s a) realistic and b) that you can live with.

One thing to note: if you set your threshold cutoffs properly you don’t have to worry about downloading files that are always at the upper end of the limit. Once the service downloads a file that meets the threshold it stops downloading for that episode/movie. If it grabs a file that’s below the threshold, it will keep trying to upgrade the file until the threshold is met.

Trash Guides FTW. I’ve used them for all my *arr setups and it’s been flawless.

I just followed the instructions here and it worked right away.

Using a Kobo reader with Calibre & Calibre-web to serve the books.

Setup a shelf on web, create a sync token on web. Add token to the Kobo config, automatically syncs any books that are added to the shelf. This replaces the Kobo store api for syncing, but I don’t use it so no biggie for me.
