I ran swarm in a homelab and ended up switching back. I don’t remember all the details I had issues with, but be aware of quorum. Here is the link to high availability docs. If one of the nodes goes down then you can’t do anything with the other. I also had issues getting everyone back online when one went down (with only two). I had three nodes, but one failed and I didn’t replace it. If one of the remaining two went offline I had to manually setup the swarm again each time. I found it to be a hassle because I didn’t have enough need for multiple nodes and high availability.

I now use Pangolin (Underlying traefik) on a VPS which VPNs back into my home where I host the sites. I have the VPN on it’s own proxmox container in the same VLAN as my servers.

I agree, the DJ and playlist features are pretty great. Definitely what I missed when trying Finamp. If anyone has another suggestion that does similar I’m game to try. Just to try and start to divest from Plex.

How is the music discovery on Tempo?

I’ve never really played with it, but was hoping it might help. If I have some time this afternoon I can play some more (honestly I’m intrigued as well).

In the mean time, you might try the command below and see if it will work instead. It should just return messages already sent, it I’m not sure how many.

You might be able to start with the built-in json stream

Ding dong the dick is dead.

Take a look at the home assistant voice preview device.

It has a 3.5mm jack out to connect to better speakers. You should be able to integrate some aspect of audio playback.

From the FAQ

Can I play music on this device?

Yes, if you plug an external speaker into the 3.5mm audio port. The built-in speaker is meant for voice feedback and is not optimized for listening to music, but the included DAC is capable of playing lossless audio on a suitable external speaker. We recommend using Music Assistant to control music playback.

I just love all of the work you do. Thanks for all the wonderful inspiration. I look forward to seeing your posts. Keep it up!

I am in the US

Mine just shows Gulf of America. :⁠-⁠(

FYI, for step 3 you should be able to do a “docker compose pull” with the same effect.

Edit: and on step 8.2, to minimize down time, you can also do the pull before stopping the containers.

I feel like I have the same or similar issue, but I’m using synapse server with element app. If I’m on mobile sometimes I don’t get my notifications at all until I’m back on Wi-Fi, then a steam of them.

I have proxmox on bare metal, an HBA card to passthrough to TrueNAS Scale. I’ve had good luck with this setup.

The HBA card is to passthrough to TrueNAS so it can get direct control of the drives for ZFS. I got mine on eBay.

I’m running proxmox so that I can separate some of my processes (e.g. plex LXC) into a different VM.
