  • I have a self-hosted Baikal server with self-signed CA on Android 14 and it works.

    However, I didn’t had to add the certificate to Davx⁵ itself. Adding a rootCA into your device and your reverse proxy handling the request should work as expected over https.

    Those kind of things are difficult to troubleshoot, this could be:

    • Bad rootCA certificate, missing the necessary options ?
    • Wrong certificate handled by your reverse proxy ?
    • Radicale doesn’t recognize your certificate extension ?
    • Wrong networking configuration ?
    • Bug ?

    We need more infos about your setup:

    • Do you use a reverse proxy ?
    • Had you already any success with this certificate within an other application ?
    • Any logs from your Android, Davx⁵?






  • Yep, Debian for sure ! 3 years ago I settled for debian on an old spare laptop, It’s still cruisen with more than 21 containers !! Sure I had a few fresh installs because skill issues, lack of proper configuration, user mistakes… But it’s probably the easiest to maintain and learn as a beginner !

    No idea what’s your level and how close you’re with computers and how much time you have to spare, but don’t be afraid to make mistakes and try a few things out.

    If you like me just a plain old geek who knew his way arround computers and used Hamachi back in the day thinking you were a HAKKER ! Get ready to get your ass kicked !

    While self-hosting and de-googling is fun, it also has alot of negative things:

    • Time consuming
    • Involves alot OF Searxing/Reading
    • Debuggin (kinda…)
    • Learning the basics of at leat 1 scripting language (consider bash your ally)
    • It’s an infinite rabbit hole that will suck you in and COULD get to your nerves…

    One of the best advice I could give you along the way is, If you’re stuck on a bug or something isn’t working as expected in your setup and I seems you couldn’t find any answer or similar issues on the web, you absolutly have to take a break, not a 5min cigarette break… A few hours bicycle/sleep break !!!

    The next day you will for sure find a solution !!

    Good luck, have fun and don’t forget to take time for yourself and people arround you !




  • I don’t mind if my server is going to have to transcode for most clients

    I mean AV1 is very well supported on most clients/new devices these days. While I do not know any good groups that only encodes in AV1, I personally download high quality BD rips and re-encode them to SVT-AV1 without any visual quality loss (for my personal taste and perspective).

    I’m not an audiophile or videophile and do not have the necessary devices to decode high end 1080p nor 4k video streams.

    About AV1 I think only iOS devices do not have a native software/hardware AV1 decoder (I migh be wrong here).

    As for your question, I wish there were more encoders that do AV1 :/



  • Like others said the arr stack is probably what you’re looking for. If you’re only looking to rename files sonarr will fill you in ! Look at the documentation, I only use sonarr to rename my local files !

    Other thing to consider, is this cool github project TVMV which also renames the files but you need to register to create an API key from TMDB (its free and you can fill in dummy informations). But it’s less customizable. I’m only using it to rename files if their name is in a different language than English.

    About metadata, I don’t know if there’s a bulk and recursive metadata editor and dunno if sonarr fills in the gap. However, mkvtool and bash scripting is probably going to be your tools here.

    How I would go about it:

    • rename your files with sonarr putting all the important stuff in the filename
    • bash script with mkvtool to strip and copy portions of the title name and add them in the corresponding metadata field.

    There’s probably a better way to stripe metadata from sites like tvdb but I’m not a dev so it’s totally out of my scope and knowledge.


  • I academically know it’s bad and wildly problematic

    What do you mean by that? How is it bad trying the save species from aquariums? Or trying the save a tribe from their own extinction because profit?

    I’m mean those are good morals that should be taught at school, IMO way more important than history class which actually tells us how dumb we were and how dumb we still are.

    [EDITED]

    Maybe I got your comment wrong if so care to elaborate?

    Thank you.



  • Traefik gang here 👊 !

    But only because it works so easily with docker !! I remember a time where I though that you need a diploma and read/learn/understand a 10000 page dictionary to make nginx work properly.

    Also hated the syntax of nginx… It can look so ugly and gibberish :/.

    But I do believe Nginx is superior and more mature in many more aspects than Treafik. Still, Traefik is a breeze and is in IMO way easier to configure with docker than Nginx.






  • Do you think webdav somehow dumps you database? No it’s just a protocol to save your files on your webserver. It’s just a middelman.

    recommended to somebody an option that is the exact opposite of what you know to be true.

    Yeah it’s my recommendation from my personal experience. Is that wrong? I use it nearly everyday without any data corruption. Is my personal experience not valide?

    The point is, syncthing is rock solid, never had any issue being it with my zotero database or syncing files between my devices. If you’re a Nextcloud advocate or are against my personal opinion so be it :).

    Agree that we disagree !
