I just moved from my aging 1080ti (which I might go back to) to an ampere RTX A4000 and I am getting the occasionally entire screen freeze and I have to restart to fix it.

I hope this addresses that.

I never used Plex. Up until my kids were born I used to just watch my videos on my desktop, but now I find myself watching on my phone and TV more often. My Jellyfin server has been super stable for the last 6 months or so running on a super low powered machine and external hard drive. The only issues I have is with movies with Dolby digital, they tend to get out of sync when scrubbing the timeline. I am assuming that is due to the lower power of the machine. But, I have a 400watt desktop with a 7th gen i7 and a pascal Quadro P1000 that I am planning on migrating to. Then adding a 20tb internal drive for storage. Hopefully that will resolve the small issues I have seen with it.

I use traefik. I like it. Took a bit to understand, but it has some cool options like ssl passthrough and middlewares for basic auth.

This is a good point. Generally if can accomplish what I want with my own scripts, I will go that route. I’ll probably avoid adding additional software to the mix since what I have works fine enough.

I’ll check it out! Thanks!

I run a Fedora server.

All of my apps are in docker containers set to restart unless stopped by me.

Then I run a cron job that is scheduled at like 3 or 4am that runs docker pull on all containers and restarts them. Then it runs all system updates and restarts the server.

Every week or so I just spot check to make sure it is still working. This has been my process for like 6 months without issue.

I just tried tailscale in the last month and it will now be my preferred way to access my services outside of my network.

The ability to read, and maybe watch a video. And then persistence for some of the trial and error you will run in to. All skills you need can be picked up with the above.
