Zurgling
We did the first of our "cephless" storage migrations yesterday, migrating Riven and Gatus. There were a few (predictable) speedbumps, but all affected users are either squared away now, or happy to wait for the next maintenance window to get FileBrowser working again.
It's likely that we'll encounter more speedbumps as we continue the migration - I'll try to alert you beforehand of the apps we're migrating, and generally the first step, should you encounter a problem with a migrated app, is to create an #elf-help support ticket.
Kometa and Comet migrating next
Tonight's apps for cephless migration are Kometa and Comet (got a theme going there!) - You'll see your instances of each restart, and hopefully all will be well thereafter. Depending on how large your Kometa volume is, this may mean that it'll be down for 30-60 minutes.
Inamongst all the chaos, however, we have 2 new apps to introduce:
Channels DVR
Unlike the mess which is Plex / Emby / Jellyfin + ThreadFin, Channels DVR is the modern, self-hosted IPTV solution. It's priced accordingly ($8/month subscription from Channels themselves) - it's a polished, supported, updated app with multi-platform support. You can use it to consume your (own) IPTV subscription, record live TV, and stream your stored media, either in the web browser or across loads of popular devices.
We'd previously had issues bringing Channels DVR to ElfHosted, because of a peculiarity of their setup, but @BSM has figured it out, and written a detailed and clear guide on setting it up.
Your ElfHosted Channels DVR app subscription is classed as a "complex app", given the transcoding, CPU, and bandwidth requirements it brings, and you can take advantage of the tiered pricing that bundled users get on all extra apps (Rangers, for example, get 44% off)
ImageMaid
Bundled free with Kometa, ImageMaid is a CLI too clean up the extra overlays and images that Kometa creates, when it does its thing. If you're a Kometa user, you should see ImageMaid appear on your apps dashboard after the next rollout.
You'll need to generate and configure a Plex token in order to use it, but it'll direct you on how to do this.
Zurg can auto-delete files
In a surprise bonus, @yowmamasita released an update to Zurg-nightly today (suggested by @layezee20), which adds the ability to delete torrents containing certain file suffixes. You can use this new feature to auto-remove torrents containing the infamous .zipx files (malware).
Here's the feature explained:
Blackhole Torbox is a work-in-progress
If you're subscribed to a torbox mount, you'll have noticed 2 additional blackhole apps on your dashboard. These are not yet working reliably (@wamy is busy refactoring torbox's WebDAV endpoints), but ultimately the idea would be to be able to use Torbox as well as RealDebrid, perhaps as a a secondary downloader or a backup to RD.
Feel free to ignore the blackhole torboxes for now, or to tinker with them, but be aware YMMV. You'd need to add a copy of the existing blackhole downloader in Radarr/Sonarr, pointing instead to /storage/symlinks/blackholetorbox/...
