Me neither. Is it supposed to be a call of violence like “shorten the lives of the rich to today”? Or “shorten the lives of the rich by the end of today”?
This; Linuxserver Qbittorrent docker with gluetun to make sure all traffic goes through your VPN.
Thanks, I’ll take a look. Syncing is nice, but I’ll see how it fits!
Does anyone have current recommendations for an alternative to nextcloud file syncing/sharing?
I use it only for the below:
- synchronize some files/folders between some of my devices
- share files/folders with friends who don’t have an account; either with no password/account, or a password set at time of sharing
- temporary/timed sharing so it is eventually no longer shared is nice, but not required
- use its webui like dropbox to upload files to my server from random machines (or download them)
And for that, nextcloud seems to be overkill.
This is the way
Symfonium on mobile Feishin on PC
I text my buddy, and say “hey do you wanna watch xyz, when you’re done with work?”. We hop on discord to chat and watch it. An hour or two timezone is not an issue, and for someone ‘local’ I’m probably not driving half an hour to their house after work. I do prefer watching together in-person, but thats not always as convenient.
Probably around 40% of my watching is via syncplay on Jellyfin, as I like watching with buddies.
Sans jellyfin you have to find a way for both of you to access the same file/stream and manually sync across snack/bathroom breaks or use the external and separate syncplay app.
I do like the external syncplay app but if I’m going to have to get the file to them anyways, why not just stream it synced? In my mind this is a really convenient feature.
It is not perfect, in my experience;
- on rare occasions, it gets ‘stuck’ and won’t sync correctly, so one will play but noth the other, pausing one unpauses the other, etc. Usually rebooting helps, but if not, I just manually sync
- there was 1 occassion which made no sense. I played a movie with a friend, we were watching together, but they were ahead of me by a whole ~15 minutes by the end of the film. Neither of us felt it was fast/slow or skipping anything.
- I haven’t had luck using syncplay on my TV. The feature exists but it doesn’t actually work.
But these are rare, minor gripes IMO. I’m glad Jellyfin has this feature.
I believe grayjay has a desktop app now. I think it may still be in testing, though.
Honestly, not sure. What you did looks close to what I’d expect reading the airvpn doc.

Is port 6881 something unrelated? I think only local ports go there (e.g. your webui)
-
obviously make sure you set the forwarded port in qbittorrent, then maybe try some external tool like ipleak.net which can give you a magnet link you can put in qbittorrent to see the reported geo location. Not sure if that perfectly vets the port you intend to use, though.

glueten->gluetun in depends_on
If you attach to your docker as you launch, you might see some helpful output from either qbittorrent or gluetun (I think the “-it” flags

Do you have experience with either ranger, lf, or yazi? I’m wondering how broot compares. Big fan of file ranger, and this looks very similar.
FWIW, you can partially hit most of these with Navidrome with another frontend. I like using Symfonium (android) which allows local downloading, and has a directory view. I don’t think it would work offline though for the directory view. I don’t know about caching/downloading on desktop though; feishin is my favorite desktop frontend, but I don’t think it has a DL/play from DL feature.
The above is only partial. Thank you for your work and sharing. I think the discouraging comments miss that this was a passion project of yours to fill your own use case. Good work!
