Sonarr icon randomly drops out at an inopportune moment. Maybe it's shy.

If someone wanted to dip their tires in the water of the *-arr stack, what would be some good first steps? Just to get started?

(Not asking for me, of course! Asking for my neighbor's first cousin's friend. He has been experimenting with dumping his DVDs and CDs to a hard drive.)

My neighbour's sister's dog started with an old PC and https://wiki.servarr.com/ or so he says...

That Trash guide is super helpful for my cousin's neighbor's dog-groomer's friend!

Thanks!

Well your third cousins mailman’s dog should check out the sidebar for the community! The megathread has tons of good info

Yams! https://yams.media/

Simple install and simple to keep adding to a single docker file.

[–] ItsNotImportant24@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thats fine for an easy simple install where the work is done for you but it doesnt fully help understand how it all works. Its better to learn from scratch to understand structure and how each container interacts with each other, directories, etc

[–] Flames5123@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They said to just get stared. I still get to completely design my entire docker.yml file to my liking but just sets up a skeleton that works for some but you can adjust it. Using yams from the start was great because I adjusted my containers many times and could restart all my containers at once. They still all run as docker and work the exact same as docker, it’s just a nice setup and restart tool.

[–] ItsNotImportant24@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I get that and its fine for getting started. I guess I just took the hard route and went searching to learn it all from scratch when I started mine lol.

My friend has a VPN and runs them on his desktop Mac. He’s considering running on an old laptop or some other dedicated device

  • VPN is a must.
  • qbittorrent bound to the VPNs virtual network device.
  • Prowlarr is enough to get started. Add some public trackers.

Then, Sonarr and Radarr for show and movie automation. Once you’re hooked, you’ll figure out the rest.

[–] Ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf 2 points 2 weeks ago

Just wanted to emphasize that the VPN is only necessary for the torrent client.

It also makes sense to run everything in containers and setup gluetun or something similar with a VPN and then point the torrent client container to the gluetun container. That way your ip can't leak once the VPN connection fails.

The arrs shouldn't be run through a VPN. Just have them in containers. That way the communication only takes place within the container network.

If you're using usenet, SSL is sufficient. No need for a VPN really.

I’m surprised there isn’t Moarr.

What moarr could you ask for?

[–] Maybelline@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Hadn't heard of mixarr... Thanks for the heads up!

[–] plateee@piefed.social 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Unfortunately, mixarr may start to become significantly less useful - Spotify is killing most all their API access. 😢

I have no spotify and it's been great for me with Plex + Tautulli.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 7 points 3 weeks ago

qbit. The only true torrenter.

[–] ZebraGoose@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Where is this from? A dashboard?

[–] plantsmakemehappy@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Make sure to update to seerr from overseerr

Got it, thank you!

Just completed, quite an easy migration. Thanks for the head's up!

[–] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago

Didn’t know Mixarr. Will be tested today. Thanks for the hint OP

Hello fellow dashy user :)

[–] TheDoctorDonna@piefed.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What is QBitTorrent, and how is it different from BitTorrent? Please explain like I'm a boomer.

I think they are just different clients that perform the same function. I've never used Bittorrent; I went from Napster>Limewire>Transmission>deluge>qBittorrent

how to fucking pirate with overseerr, just interested mods of shitjustworks
