It was relatively easy once I figured out that netbird doesn’t support a wildcard certificate. They just released and update that fixed that and they now support subdomains. I also do still have headscale as a backup if I need it.

Oh yeah I know. I’m mostly only able to use deep servers and that’s why I switched because j wanted to be able to use my own deep server and not have to rely on tailscales.

I actually had the opposite and the tailscale app would drain my battery when using one of my exit nodes. I will say the netbird app needs some love. My biggest issue is that it doesn’t stay connected or is able to reconnect when I change WiFi networks or go from WiFi to cellular.

I could never get the self hosted stun server to connect so I was always using tailscales derp servers. Netbird is also fully opensource so that was the main reason I wanted to switch. I was also able to easily setup SSO with authentic and netbird which gives me 2FA as well.

I just setup authentik in podman quadlet and got a lot of my services setup with it. Their documentation is actually very good and thorough. It covers a ton of services with easy to follow instructions.

Ok looks like I figured it out, turns out Netbird doesn’t like wildcard certificates, I spun up a quick NPM reverse proxy in docker and everything is now working fine using a certificate for netbird.mydomain.com instead of a wildcard cert like *.mydomain.com

I’ve been looking at this. I’m currently hosting headacale which is super easy and nice. I might give this a try I just need to get over the hurdle of adapting this to work with podman like I have with headscale. Anybody else running this via podman quadlets?

I’m also looking for something. I just tried netdata but looks like there is a 5 node limit now? I’m green on netdata but seems like a lot of people are mad about it lol. I’ll give beszel a try but doesn’t look like it does logs? Any thoughts on Foss options for system logs and alerting as well?

From what i know about netbird(which is not a lot). Buy its a beast to setup. I could never even get their standard docker compose file to work.

That being said I’m rocking headscale and love it, super easy to setup and tons of documentation. I’ll need to give netbird a other try when I get time though.

Jenny should do a grammar check for your and you’re

Yeah I would say so. You still having issues?

Did you go here and look at the supported codecs for encoding and decoding?

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/onevpl/developer-reference-media-intel-hardware/1-1/overview.html#ENCODE-OVERVIEW-11-12

Ah OK what GPU are you using? are you using the integrated graphics of your CPU?

This is most likely because of encoding. Did you change any settings in jellyfin for hardware acceleration? Have you passed theough your GPU? You will need to find out what codecs your GPU supports and enable those in the jellyfin hardware encoding spot.

I run jellyfin on an LXC, so first get jellyfin installed personally I would separate jellyfin and your other docker containers, I have a separate VM for my podman containers. I need jellyfin up 100% of the time so that’s why its separate.

Work on the first problem, getting jellydin installed I wouldn’t use docker, just follow the steps for installing it on Ubuntu directly.

Second, to get the unprivileged lxc to work with your nas share follow this forum post: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/tutorial-unprivileged-lxcs-mount-cifs-shares.101795/

Thirdly, read through the jellyfin docs for hardware acceleration. Its always best practice to not just run scripts blindly on your machine.

Lastly take a break if you can’t figure it out, when I’m stuck I always need to take a day and just think stuff over and I usually figure out why its not working by just doing that.

If you need any help let me know!

You can simplify the process by just using the reolink doorbell directly with HA. Reolink is an integration in HA. Works completely local and I have all my cameras in a clan with no internet access. You don’t need any app to setup the camera either.

If you really want to use frigate there is that option too.

^^have you tried this? I needed to enable for my banking app to work.

Ha correct they do, in my case. I meant to say POE. All my cameras are hard wired into my switch via an Ethernet cable so they are powered by my network switch. After that it automatically gets an IP address and you can browse to the webpage if it supports that. If you want to have it integrate well with HA make sure to double check the models work with HA first.

I would second reolink. I have all POE cameras including the doorbell. Love them, the HA integration is fantastic and they have no internet at all. Separate vlan with only access to HA, no DNS, nothing else. No need for an account, just plug it in and connect it to WiFi.

I would’ve bought a yellow but every time I looked they were out of stock.
