Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
UnicornTranscoder
- outsource transcoding to GPU in another machine
-
The Dim Media Manager is still active - Help us by filling out our survey!
Just having support for a remote transcoder, along the lines of unicorn transcoder or rffmpeg would be a good first step to let us start homebrewing a solution.

Two servers, same data
There's this project - https://github.com/UnicornTranscoder/UnicornTranscoder That lets you use a remote transcoder, but idk if the project is maintained anymore.
-
Secondary Plex Server
There are some projects to distribute transcoding jobs like the Unicorn Transcoder (last activity in 2021), Remote Transcoder (last activity in 2017) or the Kubernetes project (last activity in 2020)
-
Tonemapping Dolby Vision - Is it possible to achieve by replacing the ffmpeg binary?
Interesting, I wasn't aware they tweaked it so much. Projects like Unicorn Transcoder made it seem like you could just drop-in replace it with a different binary.
- Plex Raspberry Pi 4B and Windows PC with RTX 3080?
-
Is it possible to run the "Optimize" functionality standalone? I want to run it on my powerful PC instead of my weak NAS CPU
There was/is a Project for remote transcoding, the Unicorn Trancoder which might help but the last commit in that project was made in Oct. 2021.
- Who is currently running two or more plex servers?
- Different encoders for different sessions
-
Can I let my Plex Server convert files on another machine?
On the other hand, there is a Project called Unicorn Transcoder which is to offload the transcoding job on a different machine. If that works with plex optimization or just the "on-the-fly" transcoder, I don't know.

Self hosted kubernetes
Hey guys, I want to share a guide I’m pretty proud of which is talking about setting up kubernetes which leverages https://kubespray.io/#/ and https://metallb.universe.tf/ so you can host this yourself most people when spinning up kubernetes opt for k3s or get stuck with all the options or unable to setup the external ips for their services so these tools will eliminate the problem.

How to load balance highly available bare metal Kubernetes cluster control plane nodes?
Have a closer look at MetallLB.
-
Trouble with RKE2 HA Setup: Part 2
To avoid that, you can use a combination of haproxy and keepalived, an enterprise grade load balancer like the one from F5 or Citrix. Besides that you can also work with https://kube-vip.io or https://metallb.universe.tf.
-
Kubernetes and feeling defeated
Not sure if klipper is usable in a cluster with multiple nodes, as it binds to one port only. You may want to use MetalLB instead: https://metallb.universe.tf/
-
Cool stuff to deploy for a project ideas
Then deploy MetalLB https://metallb.universe.tf/
- Load balance ingress for baremetal
-
Own kubernetes cluster
What issue do you see with the load balancer? For self hosted clusters, one can use MetalLB for example to have such single outfacing IP which will failover to another node keeping the same IP if a node dies.
-
PaperLB: A Kubernetes Network Load Balancer Implementation
Quoting from their docs:
-
libvirt-k8s-provisioner - Ansible and terraform to build a cluster from scratch in less than 10 minutes ok KVM - Updated for 1.26
metalLB to manage bare-metal LoadBalancer services - WIP - Only L2 configuration can be set-up via playbook.
