rffmpeg VS uptime-kuma

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).

Uptime Kuma can also monitor certificate expiration; you can also enable it to show you how many days are left until it expires.

2. Uptime Kuma

- Web terminal & live logs

I'm trying it as an alternative to Portainer and I'm loving it. It seems to fit perfectly in my flow.

FYI - Uptime Kuma supports push-based monitoring as well.

Uptime-Kuma for Watching Services

Uptime Kuma is a self-hosted monitoring service that you can use to keep track of the heath of your applications, websites, and APIs. You can configure it to watch services with different types of health checks and set up email notifications for when there are problems.
