docker image prune

[–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 33 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Real question is, why Jackett instead of Prowlarr? 😄

[–] flightyhobler@lemm.ee 14 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Dunno, man. Its been working so far. I'll check out prowlarr, thanks

[–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 9 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah no worries - I discovered Prowlarr from that exact same comment years ago so jumped at the opportunity to post it here 😆

[–] flightyhobler@lemm.ee 9 points 21 hours ago (7 children)

Tbh the whole arr suite is a headache to get working well...

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 1 points 2 hours ago

Never had an issue. But I installed them all using my distro package manager, so no hassle with volumes and links.

[–] Atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Comtief@lemm.ee 3 points 10 hours ago

I'm not the OP, but it's a headache even with trash guides

[–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Sorry to hear that that's been your experience! :( My installation has been running for ~5 years without any problems

[–] flightyhobler@lemm.ee 1 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

you got the hard links working?

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

Hell no, My downloads folder in my media folder are completely different. I copy everything from downloads to media It gets renamed, possibly resampled. The torrents are left in the original folder to seed unmolested.

Every once in a while I go through my torrent list and just tell the client to destroy the torrent and files for anything that I don't care to seed anymore. Zero chance of it breaking my actual store.

[–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 1 points 11 hours ago

Yes - but I have no idea about docker, sorry. Have it running baremetal (or rather, in a proxmox VM).

Just a hunch, but in case you "only" share the directory where Sonarr puts Episode files with Jellyfin via some mount point or whatever, and not the directory where Sonarr gets them from (where the torrent client downloads to), then I can see hardlinks breaking in unexpected ways

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Hard links are a built-in feature of basically every modern filesystem. The bigger question to me is, why aren't hard links working for you?

[–] flightyhobler@lemm.ee 1 points 18 hours ago

Just found this. https://lemm.ee/post/58579926

Seems like I'm not so weird after all....

[–] flightyhobler@lemm.ee 1 points 18 hours ago

There needs to be an overlap in the mount points of docker jellyfish and docker sonarr, etc. I don't think I got it right. Besides, sonar ends up not moving the series inside the tv shows folder, leaving the episodes outside, in the media folder above. If I knew exactly what was going on I would fix it. Last time I dealt with it was ages ago, so perhaps I can do it now.

[–] yoshman@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

I have them all running in a docker compose, that also has gluetun as the gateway.

It's a real basic compse file, but I can share it if you like.

[–] flightyhobler@lemm.ee 2 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Sure, why not? I'm setting up my new server, so no better time. Thanks

You might also want to check out https://yams.media/, it's pretty much an install script and configuration walkthrough that's very complete and detailed. Includes most relevant Arrs and gluetun builtin. Containerized. Choice of Emby, Plex or Jellyfin.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Prowlarr, recyclarr, and trash guides.

[–] raldone01@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I tried recyclearr but found configarr to be more flexible.

https://github.com/raydak-labs/configarr/issues/9#issuecomment-2479295777

Here is my configarr config:https://github.com/raldone01/configarr_config

I believe configarr is just a superset of recyclearr.

[–] flightyhobler@lemm.ee 1 points 19 hours ago

it's those pesky docker volume maps and hardlinks

[–] River_Tahm@lemmy.today 1 points 18 hours ago

What’s not working for you?

For me after a decade using -arr the only thing I’ve had significant issues with has been trying to use the Tailscale integration on Unraid 7 to tunnel the dockers through an exit node which is… not at all the fault of -arr containers lol

[–] Alk@sh.itjust.works 0 points 20 hours ago

I've had the opposite experience. It all "just worked". Try running unraid. It makes a lot of it so much easier.

[–] itsnotits@lemmy.world -1 points 19 hours ago

It's* been working

[–] umami_wasbi@lemmy.ml 16 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

Looking at linuxserver/jackett on Docker Hub, it seems it indeed update everyday.

[–] flightyhobler@lemm.ee 3 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I'm not receiving daily updates from my gotify server, where watchtower reports the updates. But I guess it makes sense if it has some sort of automated build process. I've added the environment variable not to be updated by watchtower and I will keep an eye on it.

[–] MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

You can also tell watchtower to cleanup images after update so you don't end up with all of those old ones.

[–] flightyhobler@lemm.ee 1 points 21 hours ago

Interesting

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 6 points 22 hours ago

If you're just pulling "latest" then docker will fetch the latest when it starts. You can pin to a version tag if you want to keep it stable.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Presumably because it updates daily

[–] flightyhobler@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

I thought so but my watchtower says "no".

[–] BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I believe Linux Server builds images every day for most of their containers, even though there has been no code changes.

[–] bjorney@lemmy.ca 20 points 20 hours ago

If the code doesn't change, the resulting docker image will have the same hash, and a new image won't be created

https://github.com/jackett/jackett/releases

Jackett is literally just releasing a new version every day
