  • You might use LDAP, but its total overkill.

    I have not yet worked jellyfin with authelia, but its more or less the last piece and I don’t really care so far if its left out.

    A good reverse proxy with https is mandatory, so start with that one. I mean, from all point of views, not login.

    I have all my services behing nginx, then authelia linked to nginx. Some stuff works only with basic auth. Most works with headers anyway, so natively with authelia. Some bitches don’t, so I disable authelia for them. Annoying, but I have only four users so there is not much to keep in sync.

    Ok, I have a web browser on a locked down device and nothing else: how do I print a pdf or a photo using IPP?

    I have: a camera, a browser, a file manager (kind of, think of an iPhone or some stock android business device) and I need to print a photo taken with the camera or a pdf file sent to me via email or WhatsApp?

    The device is connected to the WiFi guest network with limited internet access (if any) and as only available service a server with port 443 open (a reverse proxy on that, captive portal and such).

    In my experience, there is no way to print via cups in this configuration. Maybe I am wrong?

    It still requires the device to be capable to print…

    And the user to find the printer select it and so on. And must expose more ports on the network beside 443…

    So, indeed cups is a great solution, but not to the problem I want to solve.

    I do use cups in fact for the trusted part of the network, driverless printing for windows and Linux. Android doesn’t even need cups since it picks up the printer directly from the printer itself (AirPrint or whatevee that’s called).

    I known cups can share printers and queues.

    What is unclear?

    I don’t want to pull drivers or install cups on devices. I want to print from anywhere just uploading a file to a web page.

    If I have lots of devices or just want to let somebody print from his phone/tablet without installing or configuring anything…

    With cups I still need to touch the system or the device somehow to let it print.













  • As sport watches go, get a Garmin. Its proprietary, but it’s the best in the class.

    I have a Fenix 7, wife has a Fenix 5.

    Battery last days/weeks (5/6 days with some 10-15 hours of sport tracking with GPS active).

    I suggest some “older” models with MIPs displays, not AMOLED, because they have better (absolutely perfect) under the sun readability and much better battery life.

    You need the Garmin Connect app on phone, but the web interface to the Garmin ecosystem is simply the best.

    I managed to integrate Fittrackee (self hosted) and synched to my Garmin profile to keep all my activity self hosted.

    Despite being proprietary, Garmin software is quite nice and the watch can be connected directly to PC to download activities and tracks even without using the app.
