I’m curious how you have automated/optimized your workflows for downloading, saving, archiving media.

For instance:

  1. On my laptop I download an epub into a folder that Calibre watches.
  2. Calibre copies and imports that epub into the Calibre library and removes the old epub.
  3. Calibre Library is hooked up to SyncThing, which passes the epub to my eReader.

My workflow is probably not the most efficient, but I’m hoping I can be inspired by people’s approaches.

      You didn’t ask me but possible reasons are:

      • Only exposing Wireguard leaves your server with minimal attack surface
      • Domains cost money
      • Makes port forwarding a lot easier if you’re the only one having access via wireguard
      • No need to secure each service manually (mostly with TLS via a reverse proxy)

      Normal domain only for allowing others access to specific services (like friends+family into emby/plex/jellyfin). VPN for easily secured access to all the backend interfaces like radarr/sonarr/qbittorrent or private services like vaultwarden.

      I also run the VPN to keep mobile devices behind pihole for adblocking.

      the simple answer is: me big stupid
