  • I run everything in docker. My docker volumes are all subdirectories under /media, which is the root of my NAS. If an app only needs something specific, docker only mounts, eg /media/movies. If the app needs many subdirectories (like backups), it gets the full /media mount.

    All the docker data/configs are under /docker/volumes (eg /docker/volumes/jellyfin), and every container is configured with compose in /docker/docker-compose.yml.

    The biggest hurdle for me was creating a sane docker-compose file that defines where everything lives. Once that is standardized, adding and maintaining your apps becomes easy.

    If you’re very new to this, even a dumb LLM like ChatGPT can be very helpful to explain what’s inconsistent, redundant, or incorrect with your config. If you are lost I would strongly suggest this as a way to get oriented. But DO NOT copy and paste anything into the LLM containing passwords, tokens, keys, etc. if you accident do, change those keys before finishing up your project.

    With docker there’s no duplication- you have one copy of everything you need and you just point each container at the same data. This makes it trivial to keep file consistent across your apps and doesn’t waste space.







  • Get your water tested. That will tell you what’s in YOUR water - including the city treatment, city supply pipes, and even the pipes running into your home. Do your research based off the values you see in those results.

    If you do thinks it’s worth getting a filter, install one in the kitchen. That’s where you get your drinking and cooking water from. Not much sense in buying a huge system to treat the water that goes into your shower or toilet or waters your garden.
