lol - I’m the same, and frequently wonder if I’m allowing tech debt to creep in. My last update took me to 8.0.3, and that was only because I built a new node and couldn’t get an older version for the architecture I wanted to run it on.

I just have a one-liner in crontab that keeps the last 7 nightly database dumps. That destination location is on one my my NASes, which rclones everything to my secondary NAS and an S3 bucket.

ls -tp /storage/proxmox-data/paperless/backups/*.sql.gz | grep -v '/$' | tail -n +7 | xargs -I {} rm -- {}; docker exec -t paperless-db-1 pg_dumpall -c -U paperless | gzip > /storage/proxmox-data/paperless/backups/paperless_$( date +\%Y\%m\%d )T$( date +\%H\%M\%S ).sql.gz

Yeah, gotcha. I’m starting to think my best approach might be to:

• Have the kids setup their own Plex accounts
• Activate the app on their iPhones
• Let the kids’ VLAN access the house Chromecast, so they can just cast from their phones as needed

Yeah - tried that with one of the kids and she couldn’t use her account on the Plex app on our Google Chromecast TV, and the iPhone app was limited to playback a minute at a time. I was under the impression clients inherited the Plex Pass rights of the server they were using, but that doesn’t appear to be the case.

The problem there is you can’t use multiple accounts on the Plex app for Google Chromecast TV, plus we found that the iPhone app doesn’t inherit the Plex Pass rights from my server - it limited playback to a minute at a time.

The Plex app for Google Chromecast TV doesn’t let you use multiple separate Plex accounts. Also, I tried that path with the oldest and she had problems using Plex on her iPhone - it didn’t inherit the Plex Pass rights from my server, and limited playback to one minute at a time.

I don’t think other Plex accounts can select managed users under my Plex account. They can only be granted access to libraries separately.

Yep - they introduced paid subscription tiers and put multi-user support into those: https://www.photoprism.app/editions#compare

Yeah, this is why I jumped ship to Immich last year. I was donating to PP, with the understanding that donating users would get access to multi-user features when they happened.

Then they put them behind a paid recurring subscription. For self-hosted users. That move broke all the trust with me.

Mullvad is great for outbound VPN, but inbound is a PITA without port forwarding (as you’ve said). I just host a Wireguard container for inbound connectivity now, and it works flawlessly.

Not really. Here in Australia, our supermarket duopoloy does the same thing, offering discounts per litre. At the time it all started, the supermarket chains started buying into/acquiring petrol stations and rebranding them. This has been going on for over 20 years.

Recently, both supermarkets sold off their petrol station chains, but the sales included long-standing agreements to continue to offer discounts and loyalty program points for those that shop at the associated supermarket brand.

For my wife, I have a separate library folder, mapped to just her account in Plex. It doesn’t appear in my library at all, so I don’t really care. Even better, I’ve spun up an Overseerr instance for her, so she can just search and auto-add anything she wants for herself.

Oooh! A wiki article! Look at you, educating people with science and stuff.

Yeah, 100% agree on the client devices. One of my VLANs is for the kids’ devices. I don’t trust their schools’ admins or their shitty BYOD policies, so I just let them access Plex (via Nginx reverse proxy); Pi-hole; and the internet.

It all comes down to what you trust each type of device to do and how you want to handle their traffic.

I have seven VLANs, with each one’s traffic being treated very specifically. The subnets for each VLAN route to specific interfaces on a virtualised OPNsense firewall, which is where my traffic handling and policy enforcement takes place.

Also remember VLANs are just plain useful for segregating traffic, particularly broadcast traffic, without having to invest in separate switching/routing for each subnet. Having a single managed switch that limits the broadcast domains for you is a really efficient way to (physically) setup your network.

Aaargh! Audible did this to the Stephen King Dark Tower series. Don’t get me wrong - Frank Muller did OK in the books he read, but George Guidall (books 1, 5, 6 & 7) has an almost Johnny Cash quality to his voice, that just made his reading really fantastic to listen to.

fknlol - like people WFH are working from their bed. I can’t think of a more uncomfortable location for my to do my job from. Except the office five days a week of course…

I use Nginx Proxy Manager and Authelia for just this. Authelia supports a wide range of identity and MFA providers.

Edit: although Authelia has an article on how to set it up, I found it still missed some key info. This article was the one that helped me most in getting it to work.
