Damn that sucks :(. Seems to me I have to disable my VPN in order to discover devices, but I can re-enable it afterwards. I use it mostly for clipboard sharing between devices.

I use KDEConnect. I don’t know about iPhone but it works with Android, Linux and Windows.

The replies illustrate the problem nicely.

Homie, I have been there. I spent days. I found it confusing. I don’t recall all the details, but I wasn’t able to get it all working. I will try again some day.

I appreciate your confidence (and your docker evangelism), but I don’t have the bandwidth to tackle a docker project right now. I don’t believe I was ever building containers, as I was leveraging projects like DockStarter designed to make things more painless. I’m sure I’ll try again sometime, but that time isn’t right now.

Yes, complete lack of understanding. That is a problem when it comes to working with something. I don’t understand python and venv either, but I got it working anyway in about 10 minutes. My experience with docker is that it had too many moving parts, particularly when it came to networking. It obviously seems easy to you and lots of other people, but it hasn’t come easily to me. I’ll probably need someone in the room with me to ever understand it.

I have a system that’s been working well (except for this new thing I’m trying to add) for a couple years now. I am not looking yo replace it with docker (something that I have failed with in the past). Maybe next time my system breaks I’ll take another look at docker.

I guess I must be stupid, because I’ve tried a few times and never understood it. I tried projects like DockStarter.

I’ve tried a few times, and have yet to fundamentally understand it. Been using Linux since 2007!

Every couple of years I try docker again. I just fail to wrap my head around it. I have a local friend who got it up and running though, so maybe I’ll have him hold my hand through it.

I don’t understand a bit of this, but I got everything installed and running. Seems I have to ‘activate’ the venv and run the script from within it. Not sure how this works with the script auto running itself periodically, but I guess I will find out! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

OK thanks. I will look into that. The fact that they are installed in a “sandbox”… will that prevent them from being accessible to the decluttarr script?

Dope! Can’t wait til there’s packages for it :)

I don’t know a bit about programming. Yunohost is a great place to start for self hosting a variety of services. For Jellyfin/downloading, I use Swizzin Community Edition. I like both of these projects because neither uses Docker lol. I tried some Docker based setups but could never get my head around it. YMMV.
