    I bought a used Synology before knowing more about NAS alternatives. I hated every minute with it… Because it was a bit older, security updates could stop anytime. And using the proprietary OS felt even more unsave. Who knows what backdoors are build in there? I sold it after I found out that there is no way to install a custom OS or any alternative to the proprietary version.

    Edit: found a picture of it:






  • That summarized my situation pretty good. Since a year now I switched everything to Linux, selfhosting seems to be a natural extension of that.

    May I ask, since you have a very beginner-friendly way of writing:

    I run a separate NAS with an SMB share.

    Why did you choose SMB instead of NFS? I read here that NFS is very efficient and fast.

    Docker good

    Many people here have very convincing arguments for docker. While checking it out I saw that it uses partly proprietary licenses. Why are so many people so sure that docker won’t pull a ‘Unity-stunt’ and make their knowledge about docker obsolete?

    LXC is more efficient, but it’s harder to run docker in.

    I meant to install a Jellyfin LXC, if there is such a thing, without docker involved. Is that possible?



  • I understand that I can use a VM to run docker, but:

    Wouldn’t make a LXC more sense than a VM with docker inside? And what are the advantages of running jellyfin in a container instead of a normal installation? The VM is already kind of a container, what benefits do I get from yet another container inside? I am curious to learn more!
