Oh boy. While I would recommend using flatpak or bwrap if you want a sandbox, my guess is you probably need to give the container access to the devices in /dev, like:

    --device /dev/dri/:/dev/dri/

or

    --device /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128

You might also need to make sure the user inside the container actually has access to that device.

I'd suggest looking at Jellyfin's Hardware Acceleration Docs since it goes into detail on getting hardware acceleration working within docker.

I use MediaElch which is helpful, but this is still POST process. At this point, I have already had to manually identify every track on the disk and rip it first.

What I want, is something like we have in music, where the disc is recognized via a discdb, and each of the tracks on the disc are identified ahead of time, so when ripping, you know which tracks to extract, and can have them already named appropriately.

This would be really useful for TV episodes, where the episodes are not necessarily in track order (I watched Severance out of order for the first half of season 1 because the blu-ray had track 1 as Episode 3, track 2 as Episode 2, and track 3 as Episode 1 which wasn't obvious!)

Thanks for the list. I too have been investigating PHRs (Personal Health Records), and I am glad to see more and more interest in this space.

MediKeep looks interesting, and hopefully we'll see connections with some of the major EHRs, so we can import our data.

My dream is to be able to import my data, modify it, then send out changes back to my providers. I am shocked at how much out of date or wrong information is in my records from my primary care!

Some more to add to the list:

• Mere Medical - This is a PWA with no server component, which is kinda cool, although that meant synchronizing between devices does really exist. It was able to import from my Primary Care which uses Cerner (although I had to register as a developer with Cerner to get an API key), however, it couldn't do very many useful things with the data. Having a bunch of "documents" wasn't that helpful
• GNUHealth - seems dead
• Kailona - I haven't tried this yet. Seems a bit complicated, and looks like you have to set up your own FHIR Server?
• Medplum - I haven't done much investigation yet. It doesn't seem to be a PHR, but maybe something to build on?

I wrote some open source software[1] many years ago for mapping out bus routes, their stops, timetables, and everything else. It's pretty old and probably only runs on linux.

It will let you generate GTFS data (the standard for transit), and then there are OSM importers for GTFS data.

The nice thing, is that since GTFS data has routes, stops, timetables, holidays, ..., it will work with any of the routers with OSM.

I would consider jellyfin + ersatztv. ersatztv lets you create "live" channels and define your own programming. Instead of the kids having a free for all of being any to stream any of the media you give them access to, you instead give them access to a few channels.

One of the nice things about it, is the channel can go "offline" at certain times. So, if you have a strict bedtime of 8pm, the shows will literally finish at 8pm, and the channel will stop. No more "let me watch on more video!"

I have several channels like:

• Cartoons
• Education
• Sing alongs
• History

that they can switch between, but that is all I give them.

Guix is very interesting to me. If fedora didn't just work, I think that's where I'd want to move to.

I started using Linux in '98 with Red Hat 5.2. I have swapped between many, many different distros. But for the last 10 years or so, I've mostly stuck with Fedora. It generally just works, is up to date, and I've never had issues upgrading on their 6 month release cycle. My desktop probably started on Fedora 20-something and has been upgraded to the latest (43) without ever doing a reinstall!

My primary computer is my Frame.work laptop running Fedora 43.

I still watch a lot of X-Files. However, these days I skip all the arcs and prefer the episodic monster of the day episodes.

If you don't need transcoding, then anything should be able to handle it. But, if you are planning to stream over the Internet to your phone on LTE, you'll "probably" want transcoding, or if you are streaming to set top boxes, they may not support the codecs you used, and will also require transcoding.

I personally am using Jellyfin, and find it to be great for TV shows, movies, and you tube (via tubearchivist + its jellyfin plugin). It's dead simple to setup, its metadata is perfect, and there are great frontends for it. Other than the big update from about 6 months ago, it has mostly been a set it and forget it.

Some people use jellyfin for music, but I find navidrome a much better option for music.

I run my media server on a fitlet2. It isn't super powerful, but has been a great little machine. It can transcode 1080p just fine, but would struggle for doing anything higher than that.

It hosts about 30 other things too, including my camera and NVR with frigate.

How so? From blu-ray, I can use handbrake or ffmpeg to pick the exact quality and options I want. And I can use av1, which most torrent groups still aren't using.

I also find many of the downloads strive for smaller file size over quality. I want the opposite, as I don't ever want to have to rip again, and I want them to look perfect.

I don't have trouble with most blu-rays, but there are a few I have not been able to get to rip. This includes, brand new, out of the box blu-rays. I have not tried any ultra-hd blu-rays yet, even though my external blu-ray drive should support it.

I do recommend looking at the makemkv forums for blu-ray drives. Some of the cheaper external drives do not last very long! A higher quality internal drive with an external case works much better. There are some people on the makemkv forums you can buy from. They have specific drives they like and they'll pre-flash libredrive firmware on them.

I also prefer ripping to downloading. I am quite specific about how I like my movies ripped, and like to keep embedded subtitles, extra languages, full DTS surround, and commentary tracks, which are often missing in downloads. It does take a bit more time, but I also find I am way more careful about curating my collection and keeping it high quality.

My DNS provider doesn't have an API for setting DNS, which makes doing dns CNAME validation manual.

Therefore, what I do is:

• Have a public nginx server and point public DNS records to it, then generate certs against it
• Pull those certs to my internal nginx server in my lan
• Use pi.hole to set internal DNS records (so jellyfin.mydomain.com points to 10.10.110.23 within my network)
