Well I’m glad I read that before upgrading!

It's odd to throw that into a patch release. I guess we'll find out if I did it correctly.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean, it's patching a security issue caused by trusting headers it shouldn't, so I don't think they should wait for a big number release.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why wait? Just release it as a big number release. The version number doesn't define the size or cadence of a release, it just says whether there's a breaking change.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

At least in my org we use semantic versioning ( Major.Minor.patch) where patch must either be a new feature, a fix, or something that is backwards compatible

Minor can be breaking

Major is basically something you're proud of lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's not semantic versioning...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Guess my org fucked it up ¯\(ツ)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

everyone does their own thing, but semantic versioning is specifically:

  • Major: Incompatible changes (breaks existing code).
  • Minor: New, compatible features.
  • Patch: Bug fixes, small improvements.
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Lol, our OLTP repo does semver 99 - > Dev/stg semver 100 - > prod

No clue why they don't adopt better branch names

Thanks for pointing this out! I probably would have missed this, since I didn't expect such a change for a patch release.

Their documentation mentions:

For jellyfin to know which reverse proxy is trusted, the IP, Hostname or Subnet has to be set in the Known Proxies (under Admin Dashboard -> Networking) setting.

Does this really mean, that the only way to configure this is through the web UI? This is kind of a problem when deploying it, since without the reverse proxy I can't reach the Jellyfin server. Is there no way of doing this outside the web UI, via a config file or something?

Edit: Apparently the configuration for the proxies is stored in Jellyfin's network.xml config file. So it should be possible to do this without manually configuring it via the web UI.

Another edit: It works. Adding <KnownProxies>[proxy ip or hostname]</KnownProxies> in place of the empty <KnownProxies/> key to that config file does the trick.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah the lack of info in the docs on how to configure jellyfin in the CLI is pathetic

[–] Lem453 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

If I run traefik and jellyfin in docker, do I add the docker IP of traefik as the trusted proxy?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I think you can use the container name if both containers are in the same docker network

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I don't know your exact setup, but you should add the IP that Jellyfin sees when the reverse proxy makes a request. That probably comes from the IP of your Traefik docker container.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do you not normally read patch notes before patching?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fuck no, ain't nobody got time for that! My self hosted stack has 40+ services. I lock them to minor releases (where semvers are used), deploy blind with automation, and fire alerts when breakages occur, which is thankfully rarely.

What you're suggesting works for small, very carefully curated environments. I grew past that years ago and doubly so when I had kids.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

40? Kinda curious what you are running now.

Could you please explain your use case for Music Assistant if you already have Jellyfin/Plex and Navidrome?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Certainly!

Jellyfin I use for video content. I find its music functions lackluster.

Navidrome I use (and my family uses) for personal listening.

Music around the house, like on one or more of my casting capable speakers / tvs I use Music Assistant. Also let's me do automations easily, and doesn't tie up an android phones media's output. Struggled with earbuds while casting taking over audio for too long before deploying Music Assistant!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thanks! I thought most people don't use navidrome if they have multiple users because they can't create user-specific playlists. Is this not the case? What music features do you find limiting on Jellyfin? Also, how did you get your family to switch off music streaming for your navidrome server?

If you're looking for more tinkering on the music around the house front, Lyrion music server + squeezelite players can be a very fun endeavor. I think it gets a little sketchy if you're favoring automation and casting, but as a network of players that will utilize a wide swath of hardware, it shines. I had a bunch of pi4s laying around and eventually repurposed them all into a multiroom audio gang.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah Music Assistant uses Snapcast, which has been fun. I did try squeeze, but haven't had a reason to switch so far

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

What's your hardware solution for that? I've reached the limit of my configuration and may need to look into more robust hardware (or moving things like jellyfin off to a dedicated machine)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's old but fairly beefy. Most of the RAM is reserved for ZFS reads, but in reality theres tons of headroom.

CPU: 2x E5-2630L v2

Motherboard: Intel S2600CP

RAM: 16x8GB DDR3 1333 ECC

Disk:

  • 1x 500GB SSD OS
  • 1x 500GB SSD ZFS cache (L2ARC)
  • 45TB ZFS Mirror+Stripe pool (various sizes, 8 disks)

I'll probably be moving this to a cluster of mini computers whenever prices look right, just for power efficiency.

Minus the storage the box cost me about $600, mostly in RAM. The CPUs were like $20 each, the mobo was about $150, etc

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I will add, what helped me the most with Plex/Jellyfin load was using Tdarr to normalize my library's formats into something easy to direct stream to any device without transcoding.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I ran tdarr for a while, eventually I found for most things that it was faster (and better quality) to re-download in better formats than to re-encode.

Tell me more about this PBS Kids downloaded (like where I might find it) 😁

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (15 children)

It's a crappy python script I packaged in a docker container lol. Turns out PBS kids uses an open unauthenticated CDN for serving videos to the website and apps.

I can share if you want, but it'll take me until tomorrow to make it public
