does anyone know how to even get started setting up a NAS/homelab on my own network

i need some resources because im trying to get into it and i know little about how any of it works

i was thinking of doing debian and putting docker on that, because alot of the things i want to do with it (yt-dlp scheduling, arr suite, file system etc.) have docker instances. Would this be a good setup or would something like Proxmox be easier to learn in the long term

i have a few spare laptops and a couple mini pcs at my disposal

I’m getting extremely close to being able to use a Linux HTPC to replace my AppleTV. I just need a good remote that works with Steam Big Picture mode and I think I’d be happy enough with it. I tried the flirc Skip 1s with flirc usb and it’s so close. I can control my TV, soundbar, Jellyfin, and YouTube with it but I can’t really control Steam meaning I can’t switch apps. Not sure what to try next.

Okay, it is done! The "Living room" PC is now down in the basement. The only signs of it upstairs are the USB hub and an input on my AVR labeled "PC." Not many pictures to show this time since the conduit looks the same externally with before and adding new cables... But hey, that's Bazzite running from downstairs as if it's right there!

Eventually I need to organize the TV stand, but I'm trying to only tackle one project at a time...

Yep, confirmed the HDMI over Fiber cable isn't the problem by plugging one end into my laptop and leaving the other end plugged in to my AVR. I guess I need to find what combination of Bazzite, my Arc A580 GPU, and the cable is causing the problem.

also it's trippy seeing something on the TV and hearing the sound come through the laptop

Whether I get this working and move the HTPC to the basement or not, I did have a thought: I should make a folder on my NAS for my YARG song collection, then point the game to that share. That way I can add to it from another PC instead of having to use a mouse and keyboard on my living room floor.

I'm taking a break to calm down right now, but this might be a good idea in the future..

It snowed today, so I skipped out on going to a cover band playing in town. Instead I got YARG set up on my HTPC running Bazzite and confirmed the game can load new custom songs. I also fumbled through configuring my guitar controller and confirmed it works. Currently I'm downloading a copy of my Rock Band 3 DLC to this PC, then I'm going to scan the songs in and have fun!

I may just switch to this "Yet Another Rhythm Game" thing in the future. My gaming PC/HTPC is still technically running Win10 whenever I power it back on... When I stop putting off choosing a Linux distro for gaming and set it up, it looks like I should be set to use it for this purpose. It looks like I should be able to use my official Rock Band DLC and customs with minimal conversions as well?

@agowa338 @rasteri @ActionRetro @TechTangents but then again I also have to deal with like "super tight systems" like @fuchsiii 's "#HTPC" / #Pizzabox that has front-loading, trayless SATA-#SSD|s and a #DVD-RW in one bay.

• Yes, I used the #IcyDock FLEX-FIT Duo #MB343SPO and that thing is worth it's okay price!

Has anyone setup an #HTPC with #Bazzite to act as a living room replacement for something like an Apple TV. There is really only 4 streaming apps I use and I think they can be PWA. Jellyfin has to be a first class app on there as well as Stremio currently. Be interested to hear if anyone is running something similar. I don't have any intention of gaming on it but bootc feels right for an appliance type device.

Is the best one can do for a #HTPC #Nobara, with #Kodi?
I'm not really into repackaging #Bazzite (with Kodi, and Kodi #SDDM Session).
What I want:
- Kodi, for HTPC usage
- #KDE, for regular updates
- Gamescope for launching games
With support for multiple local users and fast user switching.

I use #Windows11 on all of my #HTPC’s but it looks like Microsoft broke HDR a few months back.
Anybody have any idea how I could get this working again?
It’s driving me nuts.

@fuchsiii @littlefox maybe you need to embrace your inner #weeb woth your next PC build

After all, that machine isn't as complicated to build as your #WindowsXP "#Pizzabox" aka. #HTPC build.

Voy a ponerle #kodi como media center al #htpc ahora q lleva #linux ( #mediaportal no está xa #linux )
Eso si, offline, sin addons chungos.

Y hay otro hdd externo de 2TB en camino xa el solito 🤭😅😜😁🤙🤙

He visto (mqs bien instalado 😜) el #ubuntu en una TV de 45" y queda de PM, a ver en la 55" 4K 🤯

Hacia unas semanas q no usaba el #portatiltocho™️ (xa meter en un pendrive la actualización de la bios del #htpc ) y joder, como mola tener un #portatitocho™️

A mi q me flipan las cosas portatiles, con pantallitas, es como el santo grial 🤣🤣🤣

Quiero usar uno de mis portátiles viejunos xq necesito winxp xo podria virtualizarlo sin problemas... Decisiones... 🤔🤣

Después de unas cuantas horas, unos cuantos cabreos, un par de actualizaciones de bios, un reseteo de router y toneladas de paciemcia... #ubuntu is in da house #htpc 👌😜

A mimir sa disho!

Erradicando #windows de todos los pcs de casa ( #ragequit de manual 🤭🤣🤣🤣)
El #htpc tb full #linux en unos instantes

Our #PS3 has found new life lately as a #LittleBigPlanet machine as the #family is going back through the #game. It still has its original HDD and has been freezing lately if we change and save costumes, so I’m attempting to swap the HDD with a SSD. Haven’t done this before. Currently performing a #backup in hopes we don’t lose progress type stuff, but I suppose we’ll deal with lost progress if we need to.

If this doesn’t work, will #bazzite an #HTPC.

@omgubuntu This looks awesome! Sadly, I'm no programmer and cannot contribute but only spread the news.
