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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I tried "all" settings. I tried reading the logs and norhing helped. I had many months without issues. How do you guys debug it? The logs aren't too helpful for me and there are too many settings for me to play with. I've got an intel GPU with eirher QSV or VAAPI. Disabling does not work either. CPU is normal, GPU is normal. RAM is not full.

Edit:

  • one drive was failing. SMART showed a dying drive. I replaced it and everything is smooth again. That is why I couldn't find anything within the logs. And until today I didn't know how to read io properly and check for smart status.

Things to watch out for

  • cpu usage
  • gpu usage
  • right gpu tools. Properly passed to container. Properly used by jellyfin.
  • proper transcoding settings with the gpu within jellyfin
  • ram
  • storage of drives
  • io write/read speed
  • jellyfin folders on ssd, media on hdd
  • healt / smart status of drives
  • lan bottleneck

Not enough info to help you

They are asking how to go about debugging. Not a specific answer. I'm sure they'd appreciate one if possible as anyone would. But in both the title and the body they ask how to debug.
