I set up a nanoclaw instance with access to Sonarr, Radarr and Jellyfin etc. Now my partner (and i) have a chat-interface to independently manage movies, instead of me having to go through the ui.
Working from China, i've rented VPS outside of the country and set up tailscale exit nodes - as my private VPN. Speed is not always optimal but it mostly works.
I've also had https://ploi.io/ on my radar as an EU alternative.
Although I'm a longtime Forge user, I want to give it a try soon. The UI does not look as polished in the screenshots, but it seems to offer more features, such as file backups.
Forge appears to be quite a critical part of the infrastructure, given its root access to all servers, which lies under US jurisdiction/influence, so moving to an alternative may be warranted?
I'd be interested to hear any opinions on this, as well as if anyone was able to compare the two tools.
