  • When you power the system down, unplug it from the wall for ~10 minutes, plug it back in, then power it back up, is the BIOS clock off by an hour again? If so, I’d follow the recommendation to replace the CMOS battery. If you look your motherboard up online, you should be able to find the location on the board and type of battery. It isn’t a complicated task, but it can seem difficult if you’ve never done it before.


  • I use Navidrome with play:Sub (paid) or Amperfy (free as in beer) on iOS. I also use the Volusonic plugin with Volumio to play music throughout the house. All my music is curated using MusicBrainz Picard and the files are mounted read-only for Navidrome.

    I looked at Roon briefly, and I know many people like it, but I can’t justify the cost. Plex and I don’t get along; pretty sure it’s operator error and/or grumpiness. Jellyfin looks promising, but I ran into challenges with it as well. I think if you’re just hosting music, then Navidrome is fine. If you think you might expand to series or films, something like Plex or Jellyfin could be better long term.
