Just tried massiveGRID and their VPS have massive issues. They randomly halt for a second to 5 seconds and just stops responding to any call. Sometime I randomly see a packet with 1000ms to 2000ms with no reason, while CPU usage is under 10% and the server is basically idling (on a simple ping).

This shit happens every minute or so, it’s so annoying

Avoid.

Didn’t understand a thing, I love it x)

I was searching for something like this! Seems really promising, I’ll check it, thanks!

This: backups might be a pain to handle. Bitwarden does that for you + redundancy.

Depends on the amount of work the person does. I know I’m a lazy self hoster that takes time to update software.

It’s important to specify that the items are encrypted using a key derived from your password, so Bitwarden themselves don’t have access to your passwords even if they wanted to.

Since they handle redundancy and backups I think it’s fine staying with them (+ great product)

Nice but I believe it lacks the ability to chose the codec, bitrate, etc for videos (and bitrate for audio?)

I appreciate the solutions you give, but they’re too far away from my requirements.

Regardless of any info you get here, you will still need to problem-solve. Good luck.

Thanks, have a good day

Just trolling

You just sent a documentation page that comes straight from hell, having to use CLI on iPhone (how tf do I do that?), and on top of that it’s a page for STREAMING not TRANSCODING to a file

You can’t pull the file from your own device anyways. It would require device -> server -> device to then transcode locally

Hmm I was a bit afraid of that, guess I have to try and see

I won’t upload really long media though

It’s mandatory, sadly. What you’re asking for would require using other software on different devices, and wouldn’t be easy to use for end users.

I guess I never found out how to do that. I’ve been using VLC for many years and never found a way to encode a file to something else, change its bitrate, and save to disk. It doesn’t work on iOS for sure.

VLC is anything but intuitive and I’m pretty sure you can’t encode media and save it on your computer, and for sure not on mobile devices

Mhh, yea that seems like the obvious workaround, but not the ideal solution

Yea, I’ve used it a fair bit before, and it’s pretty good at doing UI, the one thing that I dislike haha

My process is pretty much pointing out and fixing the small mistakes the model does. A lot of people hate AI but it’s honestly a game changer.

must allow web uploads

I don’t want to be an asshole but have you read what I wrote?

Tdarr 👀 I saw you

I haven’t found anything that suits my needs as stated.

The main reasons why I need to transcode:

• some software don’t support anything other than X formats/codecs (discord doesn’t display previews for VP9 files for example…)
• some devices don’t support specific codecs natively
• I want to fulfill all use cases. If I ever want to do something that’s not covered by handbrake (ex: can’t FTP to the server and upload the files I want to transcode).
• I want simplicity: avoid complicated bridges and installing many things
• i want it to be easily shareable and accessible: the client shouldn’t have to download an app, a software. Web browsers are easy and everyone has one. Normies use those online converters for a reason: they’re lazy and can’t be bothered to install things. They’ll take the easier route
• if a file takes too much space (ex: on my phone), I want to be able to do encode it to HEVC without having to install software or sending it to my computer)

That’s what I usually do but I’m trying not to reinvent the wheel this time (and not spend too much time on it). No luck :-/

Plus I’m a bad dev
