~9 tons (19.200lbs), which is still stupid cool

Dude, a self hosted WG server creates a tunnel network without relying on central servers. Rayfish is probably just an AI-coded WG server and client combo. It’s “solving” a problem with AI that was already solved without AI.

That’s not rayfish handling that but the cloudflare DDNS you’re using that handles that. So yes, self hosted WG server handles that just as fast.

If you’re talking client-side, it will reconnect as fast as whatever internet connection you’re switching between allows it. For me it’s something like 3-5 seconds from disconnect to reconnect.

WireGuard still needs a central server that you don’t control.

No, it really doesn’t

Neither has a wireguard tunnel into your home network, you host the WG server on your own computer (or router even, that’s what I do) and just point your clients to that using either static IP if you have it or a DDNS service like the cloudflare you’re using if you have a dynamic IP.

So what, this is just yet another app that makes a VPN connection to your home network, but AI-coded instead? Why not use one of the non-AI made solutions?

It’s not just an issue with incorrect meta data. It will also just flat out refuse to import files if you’re not 100% compliant with what seems like a strict hardcoded folder structure and naming. It will also mess up your manually fetched metadata and any manual adjustments you’ve made if you need to update the library. And don’t even get me started on how it handles chapters in some audiobooks, JFC it can be a shitshow.

I don’t know of a better solution though, so I’m living with it, but it’s a very “hand carried” solution, and were it not for my kids I would rather just have the files directly on my own device with a local player and don’t have the hassle. I wish it would work better like the *arr stack and jellyfin.

I’ve found it really annoying to deal with because it is ridiculously picky about how you structure your audiobooks and name the files. If you don’t get it exactly how it wants it, it fucks up imports.
