I’m still on 7.2 myself, and I don’t intend to switch to internal boot. However, I keep an eye on the Unraid subreddit, and from what I’ve seen there internal boot is working well for most people that have switched. I would maybe review any posts on the Unraid forum before proceeding.

I’ve got no moral qualms about the way I’m handling things, nor am I judging anybody for the way they handle things. My comment was simply meant to show that not everybody is using Plex for stolen media.

I guess that depends on your definition of “piracy”… is it “breaking the law” or is it “stealing”?

In any case, the point I was making is that some people use Plex with non-stolen media. I mostly see assumptions that it’s only used for stolen media, so I wanted to offer a counter-example.

Not sure if you’re implying that I torrent my media… but just to be clear I don’t torrent.

I won’t make any claims about other users, but I am using Plex for 100% legally obtained media, mostly by means of ripping physical media that I still have on my shelf. So, not everybody is using it for pirated content.

This is not an apples to apples comparison because Nextcloud has security built in… it was designed to be published securely on the internet.

That’s not to say Nextcloud is perfect and without security concerns, but it’s miles ahead of Jellyfin which is Not designed to be published to the web.

Gotcha… Yes, Plexamp does this as well:

Can you explain rolling cache? I’m pretty sure plexamp does this, but maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re referring to.

I appreciate you putting it this way. There IS a battle happening to be sure.

Unfortunately, it feels like the battle that’s being fought is between former Plex users and current (continuing) Plex users. It’s frustrating as a continuing Plex user to feel like we are making all of the Jellyfin users angry just by existing. Some of us feel like explaining why our choice is rational, but that is often met with more hostility.

My hope is that we all (as self-hosters) can recognize that we all have different priorities and those priorities will lead to different choices. It’s not wrong to leave Plex for something else. It’s also not wrong to keep using Plex if it suits your needs.

(to be clear, I’m not at all implying that you were being hostile. This is just a general impression I get from several self-hosting communities when it comes to Plex versus other options)

Ahhh, gotcha… yeah that type of retirement plan is indeed a scam!

Can you clarify how a retirement plan is a scam?

I think they would be more popular in the US if they worked as quickly here. I have one, but it takes about 4 minutes to heat 2 cups to boiling. It’s still worth it to me, but it’s not much faster than the stovetop for us. There’s something about the electric service in the UK that allows electric kettles to heat much faster there.

No true fan is bladeless.

There is no test you must pass in order to be called a fan, so Fandom is just something you decide you are. It’s just the way it is.

Maybe you could start a “True DC comics fan” certification exam, and then you can create a private community where only true certified DC comics fans are allowed to join. Then you can be assured that only real fans can answer your questions.

Are you saying that aesthetic should be called something different because anybody can achieve it regardless of wealth? Why does it matter what it’s called?

As I dug into this, I found that it is in fact trivial to change the Unraid UI ports. There’s a setting for it. I can only assume that since Unraid attracts a LOT of novices, bad advice gets passed around and taken as gospel. So, I changed Unraid’s ports, set my reverse proxy to listen on 80/443, updated the NAT on my router, and added the relevant host overrides to the DNS Resolver. Hairpin eliminated. Thanks again!

Totally fair… I appreciate you engaging with me, your perspective is appreciated! I won’t defend Unraid’s choice when it comes to the UI ports, but I will simply say that there are things that are really nice about Unraid from a usability standpoint.

Thanks again for your thoughts!

The challenge here is that the host is Unraid, which publishes its own interface on 80/443. My reverse proxy is of course handling all requests for my sites, but that is ALSO running on a container, and must be listening on something other than 80/443 when using host or bridge networking.

So, if I’m following along correctly, I would need to put my reverse proxy on a different host (bare metal or VM) in order for it to listen on 80/443.

I super appreciate where you’re coming from on this. Unless I’m mistaken, NAT port forwarding makes this not quite so clean. If my (internally hosted) site is published on ports other than 80/443, is there any way to route them internally without needing to include the port in the request?

If not, then I either have to include the port in my request when I’m inside the LAN, or I need to set up a macvlan in my docker network to facilitate a LAN IP and standard ports.

Do I have that right?

I have all of my automations for HVAC in a package (https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/packages/). Maybe it’ll seem more tidy/less cluttered if you do it that way?
