This is probably this most unhelpful and toxic fucking comment, that was replied to any of my comments on Lemmy.

Congrats.

PS: And no, I don’t want to know, why ansible is “toxic”.

I did not mention the beeper app.

And hosting is nearly flawless, I host a small server for me and a few friends and it works and has worked for years. (I should just update more often, but that is my fault)

But any app works. I tried Schildichat, Element, Fluffychat, Nekho and others.
The problem is not the app, they all work for what OP wants. It’s just a bit of a hurdle to set up the server, but there are complete ansible-repos to do that.

Well it works now and you can self host, so what’s your point?

If you have portainer, it should be relatively easy.

First make a backup of the old config folder (I just copied mine to a new seerr folder) then you insert your current data into the docker compose-file they show at your link and import that as a stack. Boom, done.

If you have an existing stack with, let’s say, radarr and sonarr and plesk and overseerr, then you can backup the old compose file, and replace only the overseer part with the code from the given compose config.

This is a nod to the “year of the Linux desktop” meme

So 2026 is “the year of the AI PC”?

Lol

You’re technically correct, but missing my point.

Yes, it’s both ‘a cloud’ but a VPS is much cheaper and needs way less configuration compared to a so-called ‘cloud provider’ like AWS, Azure or Alphabet (or other companies starting with the letter A, I guess).

No. You see, it’s much easier doing the same thing in some cloud like aws and paying a small fortune for a slower server than on a vps.

This looks cool. If a friend asks me, how to deploy the stack, I’ll refer them to this. Good work.

You’re one of today’s lucky 10,000.

Apache has the better open source tooling IMO.

I use both, but at work I prefer apache simply for its relative ease of setting up our SSO solution. There is probably a tool for that in nginx as well, but its either proprietary or hard to find (and I did try to find it, but setting up and learning apache and then SSO was actually easier for me).

That’s great actually.

Then I would suggest using used thin clients. They cost around 50€ each, maybe less. You can install a Linux on there and remotely manage them then. They are quiet, small, not energy intensive and mostly have an x86_64 CPU, so software is also not an issue.

They also mostly have HDMI so connecting is not an issue either. If you still buy a Bluetooth remote, they can be handled without a mouse.

Software wise I am not well versed with google slides, but you can probably use kiosk mode in Firefox or chrome and just have the main page with the slides as chosen website.

Okay, let me get your current setup/needs right:

You have multiple rooms with dedicated Raspberry Pis, that each run PiSignage to display automatically forwarding (google) slideshows.

You now want to minimally change this setup to allow people to manually forward slides.

This begs some questions:

1. How are the slides selected/uploaded?
2. How are the slides forwarded?
3. How does the setup know if it’s an automated slide or not?

In my head the new setup would look something like this:

The Pis stay, as does PiSignage.
A device is added to forward slides (most likely a Bluetooth remote)

Here is where it gets tricky.

On remote press, a menu could be opened, to select uploaded slides and display them via other means than PiSignage. Closing this slide opens PiSignage again.

But having this easily maintainable is tricky and it will get hacky and people will forget closing their slide and so on.

Alternatively USB-sticks could be used.
Inserting one opens the folder, a slide can be selected with the remote and removing the stick opens PiSignage.

Both methods are hacky and not easily maintainable. But I can not think of other means.

Also I think that you should first think about some means of uploading and selecting slides as well as whether you even want to keep using PiSignage.

Random people saying shit like “why do open source, if you still sue?” or “Copyright needs to be abolished don’t use it for anything”

It’s really narrow minded to see it like that honestly, but they unfortunately do exist.

The gearwheel on the bottom right has options for language and resolution.

Down detector does apparently not work for Annas Archive. The site itself works for me, but down detector shows it’s down.

Maybe change your DNS and try again.

Okay, I’ve read into your post a bit more and something is fishy. You have libc6 for different CPU-architectures installed.

Programs for i368 and amd64 should not be installed on the same machine. The error probably stems from that.

Run the following to find out the architecture:

uname -p

If it says ‘x86_64’ then it’s amd64 and if it’s something like 'i368’ then it’s that. Otherwise, your system might be really borked…

And then remove the wrong one.

Try all the cleanup commands, so:

apt autoremove; apt clean; apt auto clean; apt update

Then reboot and try again.

But yes, it looks weird.

This is also in part true.
Today I was searching for multiple things regarding jinja2 and was always recommended a site that no longer exists, as top result, mind you.
