I’m having success with TubeSync through docker compose.

Aw yeah this looks really good! Got a recipe?

I’m using Newpipe but haven’t tried LibreTube. Interested to try it out. How come you prefer it?

It’s a light globe for the house that has some sort of connectivity with it. Like wifi, bluetooth, zigbee so that you can control it remotely or automate it.

Ooh nice. I need to figure out some other type of bulb. The ones I have are TP Link Tapo Wifi and they’re too unreliable.

Oh and you can put Adguard on home assistant too as an add on.

I started my home assistant journey with 4 smart globes, a Google home speaker with a pi 4. I learned how to use it and started integrating things I don’t need hardware for, such as shopping/Todo lists, weather, Spotify, last.fm, calendars, basically anything I can learn without hardware. Right now I’m working on getting a shopping list sent to me when I enter the shops zone.

Then I bought a bunch of NFC tags (they’re cheap) for medication reminders, kitty litter reminders/tracking. I have a music poster in my house I’ve stuck an NFC tag to and it opens up the album on Spotify, turns on Bluetooth and connects to my speaker.

I’ve slowly been adding more devices as I go along due to cost constraints. Not that smart home stuff is expensive, I just can’t afford to do it all at once. Which also gives me time to consider/research smart devices before I buy.

100% recommend. It’s addicting actually.

Here’s the recipe. Sorry for bad formatting.

Ingredients -

Meatball: 500g mince 1 egg Half cup panko 1 1/2 teaspoons each of paprika and cumin Salt and pepper

Pilaf: 150g rice 1 small onion thinly sliced 2 crushed garlic cloves 300ml water 5g ras el hanout Salt and pepper

Yoghurt sauce (don’t have measurements here): Greek yoghurt Crushed garlic Lemon juice Cumin Salt and pepper

Chilli butter: 1 tbsp butter Pinch or two of hot paprika or ground chilli

Method -

1. Combine all meatball ingredients in a bowl, roll into balls (about a heaped tablespoon each)

2. Combine all yoghurt sauce ingredients together and refrigerate.

3. Fry up onion and garlic until translucent, add rice, ras el hanout and salt and pepper, fry for 30 seconds. Add water, bring to the boil. Then simmer for 12 minutes lid on. Rest 6 minutes lid on.

4. Meanwhile, grill/fry the the meatball in a pan.

5. Serve up the rice, meatballs, yoghurt sauce. Place butter in a medium hot pot, melt, add hot paprika, let it rise and bubble. Pour over dish.

Oh and crushed garlic, how did I forget that one.

Hiya it was made from Greek yoghurt, lemon juice, cumin and salt and pepper. No specific measurements, just went with my heart haha.

I’ll post the recipe once I’m able to get to my PC :)

Nice build. That is a lovely case by the way! Not too exxy either.

What’s the benefit of 12th gen? Over say 9th or 10th? I need weigh up if It’s worth saving up for as it’s a little out of my budget right now. Most I’ll be running is 2-3 1080p streams at home.

Thank you for all of this. You are right, I do have a set up currently. It’s an old repurposed amd PC which is fine for direct play but it stuggles to transcode. I want to use ErsatzTV which needs transcodng and it can’t handle it. It’s all set up through docker-compose on Linux Mint which has been fine so far (first Linux distro). You’ve gotten me quite interested in Unraid/OMV though.

Other containers I run are Immich, Mealie, Dozzle, Tubesync as well as the arr stack. Likely to run more containers (you know how it is). Current PC sits on about 10-12 GB ram.

I’m in Australia if that helps, little more pricey than US, harder to get parts and I definitely have had decision paralysis. in saying that though, all your comments have given me clarity for a plan.

Thank you for your very thorough reply. I will read up on all this now!

Thanks for that, have also considered this. What would be the benefit of going this way?
