Ah, so you’re the kind who loves bitching about things online, but won’t lift a finger to defend themself, gotcha.

What I mentioned prior doesn’t change anything about library management in the slightest, you just wanted an excuse.

The reverse proxy is the part that’s exposed. CrowdSec watches the logs for intrusion attempts like fail2ban would.

If you’re worried about it, make sure to not use a default path. Then legit clients are fine but these theoretical attackers get stymied.

Yes it is completely normal. The Internet is almost but not quite as bad as security wonks claim. Especially since you’re not on the default port, most scanners don’t have the programming to attempt on Home assistant. Most of them are built for more common exploits.

If you look at your proxy logs, you’ll see attempts at various random paths, but those should all be 404 or 403s.

Not OP, but I’ve been looking for something like this. I’ve got a couple of refrigerators and a deep freeze I’d like to monitor. I’m not looking for a cooking tool that constantly sends updates. For that I’d like to use a multi-probe Bluetooth device. I’ve got Zigbee for other sensors, and I’d like to add these to the net

6th gen works, 8th gen and up works better.

As long as you have enough RAM, you won’t get much more speed. 4GB should be enough. A minimal Linux install plus Jellyfin takes less than 16GB on disk, and anything is fast enough.

Fanless Intel runs a little hot for my taste, but it’s your build. I’ve run tiny/mini/micro systems that were virtually silent but still had a CPU fan to help move heat out.

I’ve had good luck with Metro/Retro.

First off, if your clients can play the files natively, then anything capable of running Jellyfin will work. You only need specific hardware if you’re going to transcode streams.

If you need transcoding, especially if you’re going Intel, anything 8th Gen or newer will work.

As for your Linux distro, use whatever you’re most comfortable with. Ububtu LTS or an EL-clone are both popular choices.

This is the way. I went from 6 low-end 16gb flash drives to 1 high-end 256gb Ventoy drive and it has been wonderful. I have yet to run out of space with 17 different Linux ISOs on there. I update Ventoy every month or so.

That’s what “all” means, “all communities everywhere”. If you only want to see groups on your instance, set your view to “Local”, or even “Subscribed” to only see groups you have subscribed to.

Oh, my bad.

The two benefits to XFS that I’ve ever seen are that it has no inode limit like ext4 (which prevents the FS shrink). The other is that it seems to handle simultaneous I/O better than ext4 does; think very active database volumes and datastores.

From the top of my head, compared to ext4: RAM use and the ability to shrink an FS if necessary. Oh, also I’ve used an EXT FS driver on a Windows host, but I’ve never seen one for XFS.

If you’re replacing all of O365 (excellent choice, BTW), I do recommend Nextcloud with a few plugins. I use it specifically for sharing contacts and calendars among my family.

LibreOffice is my desktop word processor and spreadsheet, and I use it more than OnlyOffice, but if you need two people in the same file at the same time, OnlyOffice is a better option.

If you’re (going to continue) using Office 365, you can use Evolution as an Outlook replacement. Evolution EWS rides OWA and ActiveSync protocols to give you email, calendars, contacts, notes, etc. I’ve used it for over a decade. It works very well once setup.

As for Android, there are several, including Outlook for Android (which is bloated and slow, being a Microsoft product), which I am forced to use because of our company SSO config.

If you’re looking for an Office 365 replacement, I use Nextcloud for my personal stuff. It has files, contacts, calendars, notes, etc. If you install the OnlyOffice plugin, you get multi-user online document and spreadsheet editing. I use the DAVx5 connector to get (shared and personal) contacts, calendars, and tasks in my Android phone. It integrates into the environment so all calendars and contacts apps work automatically. It also automatically backs up pics/vids I take with my phone automatically.
