I wanna host something like Invidious/Piped on my SBC which can allow me to consume YouTube slop without ads.

Normally my flow for consuming YouTube slop is to download the video using yt-dlp which is then made available via jellyfin. Sometimes I view YouTube videos from my computer's Firefox but today I was shown ads despite uBlock Origin which has left me scarred and deformed (metaphorically).

I would like to run a YouTube frontend on my SBC as a backup. Public instances have not performed well for me. It would also be good for devices that don't let you use adblockers in some capacity.

I have looked at Invidious and Piped. While they are great to use, I found that their stack has a lot of components which I am hoping to avoid since they can be hard to manage.

So I'm wondering if someone here runs something like this locally for private use. Any input is appreciated.

I'm looking into setting up a subsonic-like server to stream music from. I find the ecosystem a bit weird because there are a lot of independent softwares that implement a subsonic API (I don't know what that entails exactly). Because of this it's a bit difficult to choose which implementation would be best for me.

So far I have tried gonic and navidrome. Being golang powered they are the easiest to deploy and are actively maintained.

It looks alright so far but because of the weird way I organise my music, I require two things:

• the server should not expect me to follow a given folder structure. Gonic expects all files belonging to one album in one folder I think.
• the server should allow me browse and play music by folder. I like to keep random related music under a single folder. Navidrome seems to not be capable of this but I am not too sure.

I could be wrong with the above statements so feel free to correct. Please let me know what you use and what your experience has been.

Then there is the problem of client on Android. Out of the ones I discovered, seems like symfonium and tempo are actively maintained and only tempo is foss. I am using tempo right now and so far so good. But suggestions/advice for this is again welcome.

Pls explain

Title is a bit vague because I don't know the correct terms to phrase it properly.

I have a Raspberry Pi that I use to run jellyfin, transmission, blocky, soju. Recently I added libreddit to it seeing how the rate limits are affecting public instances.

The problem is that currently if I need to go my libreddit instance, I have to go to 192.168.0.x:xxxx which is extremely unfun to type.

Is there a way I can access it more elegantly? One solution I found was to configure blocky with a custom DNS that points to the RPi where I can configure an nginx reverse proxy so that lr.rpi.local for example serves libreddit.

Any other ideas for this?
