Tbh I just fanboy any FOSS company like that

This is the part I don’t get, atp you could even ask for a subscription or payment for a well managed private tracker and I think it’d be worth it for a large number of people.

Why are we complaining about free media again???

Y’know what, I never thought about that! I just figured I had to put my verbatim title on there. I think my current boss wouldn’t mind whatever title I choose either, so it works out for referrals?

Gotcha! I’ll keep it surface level for most of these applications too, I presume

You’re the coolest! AND you used Ai as a quick lightweight researcher, which is what it should be used for. You’re fucking AWESOME! so thanks for your contributions!!

that’s valid, but would you rather spend $8/year on a domain and spend an hour setting it up, or pay a monthly subscription to a closed source plex server?

Also, there’s *arr stack applications for helping non-technical users get set up on your jellyfin server, even helping them get set up with request apps too. JFA-GO is also a jellyfin native option for sending user invites.

more details about use case plz. how much storage do you think you need, how many users, how many concurrent users, is this a node or the entire server, is this the sole exclusive use case, do you not want to add more services later, etc

Do you mean 3 CLI formats? Like bash or fish or whatever?

I appreciate it! I’ll look for alternatives that are more open

Arr stack / media server stuff is more of a background task that I wouldn’t mention or put in a resume, and it’s just a personal use case that I’d eventually want if I’m building a server anyways

Ohhh good move! When you say tier iii roles, though, I only have about a year’s experience as a systems engineer, although my boss would let me change my title if I want. Should I list myself as a software engineer or computer engineer instead?

Thank you! I know a chunk of the *arr stack isn’t useable anymore.

I’m trying to get the resume experience so that I can actually land an interview! I’ve gotten an offer from every job I’ve ever interviewed for in my life (mid 20’s) but I can’t seem to land DevOps engineering interviews :./

I’ll run a 3-2-1 in time! for now, just getting server #1 set up is my starting point. I have a location for my offsite backup, too, so I think I’m set

Gotcha! I misunderstood, but that makes sense. I believe everything I listed is k8s/k3s compatible with containerd, so hopefully it’s pretty straightforward. I’ll stick that instead of docker for enterprise experience

Sweet! I’ll make sure I throw that in the mix, having a sync later for k8s would be so nice. I think I’m going to run k3s for now, since I don’t have a database style rack, though.

Good points! I’ve set up an Ubuntu server before, didn’t have RAID but passed through my drives and set up Jellyfin and Nextcloud storage in Docker containers using Portainer. Ended up nuking it to go for Proxmox running Ubuntu server + TrueNAS, but wanted to figure out if I could just as easily run full enterprise grade stuff.

I think I’d be capable enough to struggle my way through a working setup, and there seems to be fewer YT tutorials and stuff for this specific use case, but I still believe there’s enough documentation for each piece that I’d be able to get them connected in time.

Also, not to be too dependent on others, but it seems like between this and r/homelab, there’s a pretty good number of people who’d be able to help me find my way should there be one or two things that I just can’t get figured out.

Ahhh I get you. Seems like KeyCloak is great if you’re all in on Red Hat systems, but that Authentik would be a better choice for a wider suite of integrations.

Thats a long list of things to cover, how much free time do you have?

a lot? I’m working about 30 hours/week + wrapping up my undergrad in Computer Engineering online, but should be done with that this year. With that in mind, I need to get as much viable experience as possible in between now and graduation so that I’ll actually be qualified when application time comes

I’ve set up my server before as a remote desktop running Ubuntu, but essentially didn’t really use it other than tinkering. Then I set up a NAS, then nuked it and set up Proxmox + Ubuntu server and would just SSH into it to tinker.

Now that I’ve played the game and I’ve seen that i can do it, I want to dive in the deep end of what enterprise grade stuff should feel like. In terms of certs, I’ve done a few AWS courses from AWS but they all seemed pretty… useless? Almost entirely common sense information from the beginner certs and I learned nothing. So I gave up on that and will be aiming for project experience instead.

upon further review, I think I’m going to just set up everything in Grafana due to the vast utility it provides and it’s enterprise capability and adoption. Any thoughts on replacing a purpose built homelab dashboard with custom built grafana dashs?

Although I’m not sure jf moonlight itself runs in a container.

Pretty sure I can just pass it through when active, so I should be set and not have to split (I believe)
