What workflows do y'all have for sourcing > archiving media? - eviltoast

I’m curious how you have automated/optimized your workflows for downloading, saving, archiving media.

For instance:

  1. On my laptop I download an epub into a folder that Calibre watches.
  2. Calibre copies and imports that epub into the Calibre library and removes the old epub.
  3. Calibre Library is hooked up to SyncThing, which passes the epub to my eReader.

My workflow is probably not the most efficient, but I’m hoping I can be inspired by people’s approaches.

      You didn’t ask me but possible reasons are:

      • Only exposing Wireguard leaves your server with minimal attack surface
      • Domains cost money
      • Can make Firewall management a whole lot easier
      • No need to encrypt each service manually

      Normal domain only for allowing others access to specific services (like friends+family into emby/plex/jellyfin). VPN for easily secured access to all the backend interfaces like radarr/sonarr/qbittorrent or private services like vaultwarden.

      I also run the VPN to keep mobile devices behind pihole for adblocking.
