I’d recommend most people start with the guides (I did, no regrets there). But expect to need to manually search for things sometimes because their restraints, by design, will block some “lesser quality” options. And if some flaw in the system is bothering you, you’ll hopefully have enough experience under your belt to tailor your settings at that point

I had never heard of Dispatcharr…would ISPs take issue with it? In other words, do I need to call up Gluetun?

Right, sounds like intentionally blinding the public

Came here to bring up Bazarr. Its the only *arr I haven’t opened up since initial deployment and setup. It’s only failed me on a couple of media items so far so that’s like…99.9997% success without me even touching anything

Specifically when a cake is involved, right?

Hosting isn’t OS specific, and in my experience its more about docker. But as far OS goes, I’d say Debian or Ubuntu with the intent of moving onto something like Proxmox

Symlinks, my files are the seeded files

Gluetun is a great example of “I changed nothing and it suddenly works”. I’ve had to set up this exact docker container several times, and it usually takes me a week of retries until it chooses to work. I wish I had better advice for you

If any of you can get the Pi-hole integration to work, let me know how you did it. There’s a github thread about it, but I haven’t heard any progress

It worked for a long time until an update pretty recently.

Oh, you’re right. Sorry, I’m an idiot

Blampe/lidarr:latest

Just found out about this yesterday, but it works and it’s a simple replacement

So I’m expecting a max of 5 concurrent users, but most wouldn’t need transcoding. The real hiccup (brace yourself) is a 720p CRT and (assuming I get transcoding to work well) a 480p CRT. I’m pretty novice to PC specs outside of the “buy whatever you can afford for gaming” mindset, so any suggestions there are welcome. My budget is…whatever it takes to not regret the hardware years from now. My last build was $2k for reference

That’s my goal: use the NAS as a NAS, use a computer for containers and the like. I’m using Seagate Exos for the NAS exclusively

In hindsight, I didn’t explain myself well enough. My plan is to use my current NAS as a NAS and little more; I’d like a machine with respectable hardware to handle what my NAS is currently running plus more.

My NAS has Jellyfin, arrs, all the stuff that goes with that, Pi-hole, and Homarr. And that’s pushing its limits: everything has been slow, streams freeze, I’ve had containers quit, etc.

I’d like to get into other projects like Radicale, Mealie, ErsatzTV (old PC could handle it, NAS can’t), CCTV, and more. But according to my resources, the NAS can’t handle it

GPU (for the sake of transcoding) isn’t worth it?

It’s 4 bays, and we’re eating that space up quicker than I imagined

That’s painful. I hate opening up my containers for permanent shutdown. What’s the best 1:1 alternative? I’d like to keep it as close to *arr as possible due to me being a slow learner

UCMJ says otherwise. But in practice, I can tell you from experience that the consequences for any kind of refusal will be treated as mutiny and could cost you the rest of your professional life

Preface: I don’t use Usenet

1. I’ve heard its a federated network, but you’re paying for a subscription to a specific set of servers…as far as I understand.

2. People have been migrating to Usenet for a long time on top of being a very old protocol, so probably quite a bit. Worth a quick shot, right? As I understand, rights holders try pretty often but they can’t really because the protocol breaks the data up so much that it can’t be discovered from the outside.

3. Its not a requirement, but it doesn’t hurt. Many providers bundle a VPN.

Hope that helps. I’ve never used it, but I always read posts about it and ask questions

As someone that struggles with networking, I’d love to hear what you’ve found and how

Just turned a Win10 machine into Ubuntu not too long ago. It took all day, broke several times, and still has issues booting remotely. It is getting easier, but a 30 minute Windows install with a few button presses is still easier, unfortunately
