rffmpeg VS Nginx Proxy Manager

I got rffmpeg for distributed transcoding. Probably I understood Tdarr wrong, Tdarr leaves the files already transcoded or does transcoding on demand just like Rffmpeg? I got a lot of content on 4k that I would prefer to leave it like this for the best clients, and transcode as needed for 1080p computers

I'd love to point out https://github.com/joshuaboniface/rffmpeg

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.

In the rare case you need transcoding I would suggest you use a script like rffmpeg to offload transcoding to a more powerful target and/or use my script which creates trascoding workers when need be and deletes them afterwards (could be used with Unmanic as well).

> Also, remote transcoding of videos seems like a huge win! Makes it so you won't need as beefy as a system to run PeerTube.

You can technically do it if you're willing to hack around. Since it uses the ffmpeg binary you could technically replace it with rffmpeg[1], the setup isn't pretty but it's doable. I haven't done it myself but have seen reddit posts on the jellyfin community that it works pretty well once setup.

If it's a normal Jellyfin install you can just use the rffmpeg python script directly, or you could run docker on Windows or WSL.

Maybe in the future you can use multiple machines to do your transcoding?

rffmpeg is supposed to do that. I haven't used it.

It should hopefully be pretty straightforward. We've got a user who's been working on autoscaling it with Kube and Hesner, so might be worth checking that out (see https://github.com/joshuaboniface/rffmpeg/issues/34 and specifically the last comment; his profile has his repos).

I discovered these 3 amazing projects recently:

Cryptpad, essentially google docs/sheets/forms e2e encrypted. It does include collaboration. https://github.com/cryptpad/cryptpad

Immich, google photos self hostable, with share options https://github.com/immich-app/immich

Nginxproxymanager manages certificates and proxies to self hosted stuff through nginx https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager

Great self hosting stuff!

Nginx Proxy Manager

Take a look at NginxProxyManager. This would give you the opportunity to put everything in the form of service1.domain.com , service2.domain.com ,etc.

Prime example: Nginx Proxy Manager is often recommended in the sub. The latest minor release came with breaking changes (so already ignoring semver). I bet you many people were running on latest and then had broken stuff: https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/releases/tag/v2.10.0

I started looking into how to make add dynamic IPs to NPM access lists. I came across a couple of GitHub issues (1, 2) on the topic. It looks like people have solved the problem, but not in a complete way without modifying the NPM docker image. I did not want to do that, so decided looking into writing a separate script.

Here is the (NPM) GitHub issue where the "fork of a fork" image came into existence (lepresidente/nginx-proxy-manager). It has some interesting discussions about the challenges of having NPM and CrowdSec coexist and cooperate.

Agree with this, myQ is such a dumpster fire. It needs to have an the ability to be managed over the local network instead of requiring the garage door and app connect to their server.

My very first experience with myQ was figuring out that their IP blocklist provider, brightcloud, blocks anything with the word "proxy" - including the default "it works" page for Nginx Proxy Manager [1]. And they have no way of overriding this to actually provide service if someone turns out to be a legitimate customer.

Edit: If you're using Nginx Proxy Manager there seems to be open PR for support for proxy protocol https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/pull/1882 however in the comments there's a name of repository with this PR merged.
