I set mine up with Authelia 2FA and restricted media deletion to one user: The administrator.
All others arent allowed to delete. Not even me.

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.

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.

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… >_>

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.

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.

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’?

It just doesnt work in Firefox (mobile android)

Don’t forget free servers.
On TS3 it was to either know a friend that rented/hosted it, rent/host it yourself or use a public server.

Syncthing has public releays enabling it to work (dunno if one or none need to be public) without both parties being exposed.

If its a file from my seedbox: Direct share link (optional pw)
Local file: OneDrive

For the first time I configured ssh with pubkey auth.
Auth between windows (agent) and alpine (host) to use as a helper/backup proxy in veeam (helper is used to mount file level restore assistant)
Took me 3 hours to find out that
Windows didnt know the private key
Pubkey auth wasnt active
Fucked up pubkey auth
Alpine isnt supported by Veeam so it didnt work
Needed to install a small debian VM.

:|
At least I did my first pubkey auth setup.

Thw only it provides: Auto-updating.

For example some mobile games that have in-app ads are blocked.
Was surprised how much is blocked once I opened the app outside of my home network.

Is it an app I should be able to just find in my installed apps or do I need to enable it?
Because as of now (Pixel 7, Android 15) I can only find Termux.
