Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

What's wrong with docker?
I don't think you should be getting downvotes for having an opinion and I appreciate your reply.
However I do love a good debate - what's the advantages for you for installing apps on "bare metal" (I'm assuming you mean a base OS install rather than actual bare metal). What about virtualisation?
Hmm sorry not sure why it would be complaining about an invalid path. Is it all paths that are invalid, or just the ones to your media?
It shouldn't really matter where you've got your files as long as they're mounted on a standard path. Maybe try creating a symlink from where your media is to a standard path like
/mnt/mediaor something?Don't set it to your home path, set the path explicitly. That'll be what it's complaining about, the ~.
Yeah I think your problem was trying to use ~ in a path. That's a bash thing, not a linux thing - slightly pedantic distinction for many but worth knowing about in case future applications give you a similar problem.
