It seems I'm out of luck on this kernel / hardware. After applying some limitations I get the following when I run the container:
Your kernel does not support memory soft limit capabilities or the cgroup is not mounted. Limitation discarded.
I think you're right. The CPU issue settles down after the first scan on a vanilla installation. But now my swap space is getting filled which is locking up the system. A Pi4 with 4GB of RAM isn't expensive though so if I can just swap the units without having to do anything else I might do that.
Noted, thank you. I'll look into it a bit more and come back if I have questions. I appreciate it!
I'm using docker compose. Thank you so much, this is fantastic!
Thanks so much. Sound like I need to learn a bit more about docker. That's how I installed it.
I waited a long time before making this post. Within minutes of posting the system became responsive again. It only picked up on one movie though.
Jellyfin really shouldn't push the available system resources so hard. It's impossible for the user to know if the scan is actually happening when the UI and SSH interfaces have locked up. It seems it couldn't complete the scan either because it was being excessive with system resources.
Good point. I think doing nothing at all is always a bad idea.
And even with hindsight I still don’t know if it would have been better to do the stuff, some of the stuff or nothing.
By Grabthor’s hammer, I have to agree.
That sounds promising, thanks! You say LAN, but I can share this with people over the internet too, right?
I don’t know what kind of authentication it uses, but it dots appear to be susceptible to brute force https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome/issues/242
But if I add a reverse proxy I would need it to just affect that one service/port. I’m running a publicly facing static (amateur/hobby) website - and other services - from there too and I’d prefer it to remain public.
The "I don't care if you go broke, give me what I want" stance I'm seeing online seems short-sighted at best and narcissistic at worst.
