I’m always struggling to find ebooks and flac albums, sometimes it is fine but sometimes it is impossible. Or they are weird versions.

This looks interesting, it could be good to get away from Google. I never think about other proprietary system I always think first about moving to Open Source solutions.

I honestly don’t think there is a replacement for Google Maps, I use Organic Maps from time to time but it is more difficult to use, rarely can I just input the name of a business and it finds it.

I suppose using it like a directory for restaurants and attractions could be done through the browser without an account but it is hard to deny Google Maps is a fantastic resource and hard to replace.

No problem, as far as I can understand that is the easiest solution I don’t see the problem with privileged containers if they are local in your network. I think I will test with NFS instead of smb/cifs and check the user access as @gaylord_fartmaster@lemmy.world mentioned above.

This makes sense, I’ll investigate this when I’m back home.

There is no reason as far as I learn more this was probably not the best way to set it up but I was just following guides to learn. The goal in the future is to build a bigger storage server and run something like TrueNas. I will look into NFS3 though it could solve some of my problems with the current setup.

I can ping the fileserver and reach I can map the drive from calibre for example but it does not have write persmissions.

Maybe I am mounting incorrectly I mounted with mount -t cifs username=username \\fileserverIP\folder \mnt\smb_share

This works for 1 of my lxc that is privileged but does not work the unprivileged ones

I was using Feedly but I deleted my account and when I created a new one they only allow 3 folders on the free tier so I started to use NewsBlur instead been pretty happy with it. It’s nice it can pull the whole text of the article so you don’t have to go to another site to read the full text.
