I think entirely separate VMs in different VLANs might be a bit much for a beginner to setup correctly. The Isolation that Docker and it’s networking Provides might be enough to start, no?

Is there a good way to watch the streaming services on your TV without trusting either Google/Apple/Amazon to not spy on you with their hardware?

I have an Nvidia Shield TV. With 150$ its outside of your price range, sadly.

But: I’ve been running this thing for 7 years now and its still trucking. Compared to other smaller streaming sticks that have become unusable because of bloat firmware updates over time.

You can install custom firmware on it, but my understanding is that when you want streaming apps like Netflix or Disney to give you more than 720p output, you need the official OS.

If you want to Dodge the ads on the launcher, there are alternative launchers that can simply be sideloaded.

I don’t use Jellyfin but I have all my movies on an SMB share that I’m accessing via Kodi. The hardware is strong enough to decode any format you throw at it.

Oh thats nice. I think this will do for now. I’d love to get the full recording at some point with moderators talking and ads and all that for maximum nostalgia though 😄

I run NixOS my Pi HomeServer. It gives you a lot of flexibility, if you don’t mind reading into how the config/build process works.

My server configuration can be found here https://github.com/LukasKnuth/homeserver

Thanks for getting back! Unfortunately, I’m looking for video mainly, because that’s how my mum remembers watching the entire thing on her first TV.

Do you think podman could replace Docker Desktop on my Dev machine? Its become so bloated…

Do you habe any experience running this? Especially for larger service architectures?
