docker-languagetool VS Tautulli

LanguageTool itself is open source (basic features). I'm running it in a Docker container.

For developers who already have Docker running on their machine. I can strongly recommend running it locally with e.g. Docker Compose.

Safes effort with maintaining an installation and keeping the background process running. Plus, it also works when network connectivity drops.

Following, you can see my personal docker-compose.yml, which you can use as a reference. For a more detailed description, you can look at the image description erikvl87/languagetool.

I was already used to wiggly lines in my favorite IDE IntelliJ and really missed the spell and grammar check capabilities in other editors especially when writing something in the browser. A colleague told me that IntelliJ is using LanguageTool since I'm pretty satisfied with the analysis inside it. Therefore, I looked around on GitHub for a way of hosting my own LanguageTool server. I came across this repository and decided to give it a go and run it on my Linux server.

It's great, I've been running the self-hosted version for a few months now. I run it using a container[0] on a $10/mo Digital Ocean VPS using Dokku[1]. The main downside is that it's a bit of a memory hog, possible because it's written in Java? Otherwise, I haven't had to mess with it after the initial set up. I like that I'm not sending everything I write to another 3rd party service I don't control.

As for the plugin, it definitely catches more issues than the stock browser spellchecks. The main issue I have with it (maybe someone can point me in the right direction) is that it always tries to autodetect the language. This is fine for longer texts, but often fails on shorter strings like headlines. This leaves my words highlighted red because it thinks I'm writing bad German, or Swedish (which is fair). I haven't been able to figure out how to force it to only use US English.

With Tautulli you have a better monitoring system than what Plex offers. Streaming history split by user, you can add notifications to a lot of services like Slack, email and so on. You can even create newsletters being sent out to users based on what was added to your server.

> How hard is this to configure?

Not at all. Just ensure that you have WoL enabled on the host machine and than proceed to send a magic packet. You could even do this with Home Assistant [1] if you are into that. I did this with a script that used tcpdump to monitor for incoming traffic [2] for Plex with an additional (dummy) Plex server on the Pi. I also remember faintly that I had to add 1 library and 1 video file to make this work though.

Powering down - or sleep - is a bit harder. I built a 'Sleep on LAN' app [3] for myself years ago that could power down (or sleep) a system on demand using a REST API. I used this and Tautulli [3] with Home Assistant that would check if there were any active streams and if there wasn't any activity for a specified amount of time I would send a SoL request to my service.

As you can see it isn't super hard or complicated, but a bit cumbersome to find all the moving bits and make it work. But when it does, it's IMHO fantastic.

In that case then I don't think there will be an easy way to transfer the metadata unfortunately (outside of some user-created script). One option that would at least help with the manual re-entry would be to use Tautulli's export feature or WebTools-NG's ExportTools to create a spreadsheet that has all the information in one place, and should be easier to copy/paste.

Also, take a look at Tautulli, tautulli.com. Its dashboard has more info than Plex. It shows transcode speed (1.0 = real time) and if subtitles are burning/transcoding/etc.

Tautulli for monitoring and notifications, plus some scripts for "maintenance," such as killing 4K transcodes and stopping remote streams after they've been paused for X minutes. These are from the JBOPS repository.

Tautulli. There's a feature where you can trigger notifications from events on your server, not just when it's down. I'm not sure there's a function to get your server to auto restart though.

Looks like Tautulli's mobile companion app.

The data Tautulli exports is great if you want to throw it in Excel to analyze your library, or as a backup of all the content you have on your server, but isn't really meant to be imported at a later date (the exporter guide. You should instead follow the Move an Install to Another System guide to move your server data to a new machine.

I enjoy https://tautulli.com/ for looking at my server's stats
