Best Raspberry Pi setup?

operamaxi59 · 11. November 2020

I just ordered a Raspberry Pi 4 and I intend to install OpenMediaVault onto it. I am hoping to set it up so I can stream videos to my Roku, browse photos, and use a comic reader to read CBR/CBZ files. Does anyone have a guide to install the necessary software to accomplish all this? I have been reading about the Plex plugin but I understand that they require login to their site and I want a totally local solution. I would also like to access most of the data through my iPad so a local browser or a solution with an iOS app capable of local network access it preferred. I also want to encrypt the data. I am starting with just media for now but hope to expand to back up photos and documents once I establish a decent amount of trust in the system. Any suggestions?

I will admit up front that I know absolutely nothing about encryption, but if you want a totally local setup why are you concerned about encryption?

Jellyfin is an alternative to Plex that has no login, and it has an iOS app. I don’t know if Calibre handles CBR/CBZ files but it makes a good e-reader with Maplereads as a good iOS app.

Just checked and Calibre does handle comics - with some modifications. Ubooquity, however appears to hand CBR/CBZ out of the box. I have never used this one, so I can’t speak to its merits. I will have to give it a try as I have not been all that excited about Calibre. It works okay but it just looks ... old.
