Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I noticed my home servers SSD running out of space and it ended up being my Jellyfin Docker container which wasn't clearing the directory for transcodes in /var/lib/jellyfin/transcodes correctly.

I simply created a new directory on my media hard drive and bind mounted the above mentioned directory to it. Now Jellyfin got over 1 TB of free space to theoretically clutter. To prevent this I simply created a cronjob to delete old files in case Jellyfin isn't.

@daily /usr/bin/find /path/to/transcodes -mtime +1 -delete

Easy!

Good to know. Well I have 16G now that should give me plenty to spare.
