  • Wow. What a zinger? No really, great addition to the discussion. Thank you.

    No, probably not. Love em or hate them, they have a pretty good record on privacy going back decades.

    Google though. lol. I mean that’s THE largest advertisement company to ever exist. The same company who finally admitted they were selling their browser’s incognito data.

    That 3rd party app with the better widget calendar is for sure selling.



  • Ok. So you’re definitely not trying to use 127.0.0.1 remotely.

    So on your phone’s web browser ( using the same WiFi ) if you visit http://<ip of mint system>:8096 and nothing happens then it’s the firewall on the mint system. You would need to allow ports 8096/8097.


    I’ve never used Linux mint, but if it’s Debian based then it might be using UFW firewall.

    First, check that if firewall is running. Open a terminal and type:

    sudo ufw status
    

    Step 2: Open ports 8096 and 8097

    To allow traffic through ports 8096 and 8097, use the following commands:

    sudo ufw allow 8096/tcp
    sudo ufw allow 8097/tcp
    

    This opens both ports for TCP traffic. If you also want to open the ports for UDP traffic, you can use:

    sudo ufw allow 8096/udp
    sudo ufw allow 8097/udp
    

    Step 3: Verify the rules

    Once you’ve added the rules, you can check the firewall status to verify the changes:

    sudo ufw status
    

    You should see entries for ports 8096 and 8097 allowing TCP (and/or UDP) traffic.

    Step 4: Reload firewall (if necessary)

    If the changes do not take effect immediately, you may reload the firewall using:

    sudo ufw reload
    

    Now, the firewall should allow traffic through ports 8096 and 8097.




  • How do you know the server is worker fine? How are you accessing it to know that?

    E:

    Do you have a firewall running on your mint installation? If so have you allowed the ports (8096/8097)

    Can you access the web client on the Mint installation http://<ip of mint>:8096

    Can you use that same address on your phone / another computer to access it?

    FYI If you’re using 127.0.0.1 that will not work on your phone or any client that’s not running the Jellyfin server.

    When you use the Jellyfin app which server address are you putting in?



  • It seems that the commenter’s intention was clear to everyone except you. The commenter acknowledged the need for RAID software or a specific file system, mentioning that it had already been addressed. Understood the budget and OP being an newb.

    Although their tone may have been blunt, they stayed focused on their original point.

    But you just kept nagging. lol

    Either way OP was helped and now you can sleep knowing you did your part. A true internet hero.




  • It still looks terrible IMO.

    Edit:

    I agree. Luckily the iOS 18 one is a little better.

    It’s not differentl. It’s the same as iOS17.


    Why it’s terrible.

    • What are the “2 all-day events”?
    • Why is HALF of the widget wasted white space.
    • why are there 3 more events if half of the widget is wasted white space.

    Edit: I’m familiar with the widget. I don’t need someone explaining to me how to click on a widget. I get it. I also understand it’s different than the one I posted. It’s called “Up Next”.

    Despite which one you pick, they’re all poorly designed. It takes up a third of the screen and does a bad job at presenting as much information as possible within reason.

    Edit 2: That specific calendar widget you posted from ios18 beta looks exactly the same as it does in ios17. This thread is pointless.








  • Your network is probably configured with inconsistent subnets / netmasks. iOS / Android are on WiFi and getting a different subnet/netmask than your severs.

    Edit: What does pinging the server with nmap mean? Are you checking open ports or pinging the server? That doesn’t make sense or at least leaves us with more questions with the way you worded that. Although the nmap utility can provide both of those answers, I’m not sure that’s what you meant. Technically nmap and ping are two different tools.


  • prometheus and grafana … seems to be the universally accepted solution for self-hosted monitoring

    Not exactly. There are many ways to do this. Most of us just use this solution because its easily scalable, highly documented and what we are probably already doing currently at work.

    all built into one container

    It’s nice to separate data sources from the dashboards and alerting platforms. It’s scalable and extremely light weight and gives you more options.

    On top of prometheus not seeming useful on its own …

    Yeah, that’s just not always true. Maybe for you, in your use case.

    Installing a Prometheus node exporter gives you an easily accessible end point with JSON data that can be used however you like. Modularity is a good thing. Being able to swap parts in and out with other parts is a good thing.

    If you haven’t figured it out yet, there is not an exact correct answer here, use what fits your needs. While I have a dash board setup in grafana, it’s not my main use case. Since the data is available from all the node-exporters on all my hardware, I wrote up my own alerting scripts and automations using python.

    That’s the beauty of modularity and standards when self hosting.
