Thanks for the question - I value the ease of configuring SOCKS5 directly in an application. As you mentioned, WireGuard split tunneling can be done with a bit more work - which is knowledge I don’t have at the moment and will take time to acquire.

My ISP is not proactive in deep scanning my traffic, so SOCKS5 has been entirely sufficient in in covering me against copyright notices for the past years.

I have Gluetun ready to go for for my torrent program on my server that I can better seed, but on my workstation I’m typically not running a VPN - and the odd time I might fire up a torrent program it is nice to have the proxy settings baked in to the application in case I forget to or don’t care to toggle the VPN on.

What torrent client is in the screenshot?

Free?

Sounds like your would benefit from using dockcheck.sh for your use case.

Is there a way to use this in a more automated way instead of copying and pasting each time?

I had no idea that Teksavvy passed these along. I thought they took a stance to ignore these.

Oh man. Of all the self-hosted projects to not grasp, you picked the darling.

The creator of Immich had the same use case that got me in to self hosting:

1. A new family with child.
2. A whole lot of photos and video to share between the spouse and with extended family.
3. Ballooning Google (One) photos costs, to which I asked: am I going to pay this forever? Storage also caps out at 2 tb, which we are using more than.
4. A growing discontent with the idea of every family moment being harvested by a tech company I do not like.

At the core - Immich allows me a continuity of service and saves money while keeping spousal approval at the required levels.

Ugh, knife to my heart

I have a peculiar set of skills.

Yeah I’m really curious where the difficulty lies. Nextcloud was one of the earliest, if not the first, services that I deployed on a server when learning about Linux/Docker from scratch. The evolution of my setup has mostly been through my better understanding of container management practices than through anything Nextcloud specific.

My only Nextcloud specific issue has to do with the implementation of a reverse proxy (NPM) breaking the ability for my Nextcloud and OnlyOffice containers ability to connect - and I’ve not been so fixed about it that I haven’t really sat down trying to figure a fix.

What.cd and BitGamer were the two private trackers where I really put in effort not just to seed but to contribute unique uploads.

I stepped away from torrenting for awhile and when I returned both were ashes.

Edit- what are the two good music trackers you’re referencing?

Perhaps this fits the bill? Requires a Home Assistant instance.

If this is mostly for Obsidian, use the community plugin and a self hosted CouchDB.

I’ve found it quite good.

Same, but using Heroic.

Yep. Can also be done very easily with Heroic Launcher.

What’s pink, weighs a ton, and drags at the bottom of the ocean?

I rolled out Dockge the other week, and it’s solid. It can handle environment variables, but lacks other portainer features like controlling networks, volumes, building images, etc.

One big plus is that Dockge works really well with the dockcheck.sh script for updates, where as Portainer breaks that script.

Haven’t used it, just know it exists.

I’m curious what the host machine for the Docker container is? Is it a headless server or something with a desktop/window manager?

Been looking to set up the Obsidian Docker container but I presently only run headless, so it sounds like a headache.
