I setup the auto-delete function. I placed a very high ratio and a certain amount of days to stay active. I'd prefer to seed indefinitely but this will do for now.

I'm definitely getting more storage soon.

What's the best way to easily delete both files? I first assumed that deleting listings from Radarr cleaned up both files.

You would delete the download to completey stop seeding. Take a look at the guides others have posted.

My structure is this:

torrent -movies -TV

media -movies -TV

qbit downloads to the torrent folder where it seeds out from. Radarr/Sonarr make a Hardlink copy from the torrent folder to the media folder. Your media software watches the media folder.

Any models of DAS that you recommend? Looking for a 4-Bay

Edit: Would security flaws be an issue for something like a DAS though? The DAS wouldn't have anything running on it. It would just be a big ol' dumb external HDD. Right?

I had been planning on running Jellyfin in parallel for testing but haven't gotten around to it. Plex has been reliable for me. And I really enjoy Plexamp.

It's just what I've been using for so long. And I have a lifetime Plex Pass.

No reason other than price. Everything I see listed for Synology is a NAS setup.

I may go down the DAS path then. I was eyeing a QNAP 4-Bay DAS. Perhaps a NAS later on if I'm in need of a home network storage solution that is a bit cleaner and user friendly.

USB speed? Everything has been completely fine with the USB enclosure I have it running on right now.

I'm not doing any backups with this setup. This would solely be for media that will be streamed through Plex. While having a drive fail will be annoying, it wouldn't be catastrophic as nothing personal or important would be stored here. I would rely on the Arr setup to rebuild.

Honestly, I'm just trying to squeeze out any HDD space I can use. I'm trying to keep the cost down where I can.

 

Looking for some advice on my journey to expand my local storage. Currently, I have a mini PC running my Arr setup with Plex and I have an external enclosure with a HDD connected through USB. I can reliably push 4K to my Android TV. This is the system's only use and purpose.

I need to continue to be able to Hardlink files so that I can seed back while Arr programs are sorting and renaming for Plex.

I'm not too concerned with a file backup solution or relying on this setup for sharing important files across my home network.

Would a DAS be sufficient for this? Is there any reason I should avoid this and invest in a NAS solution?

I had been thinking about setting up a router with VPN built in. I was already planning to upgrade my router anyway. So that may be the approach I take.

I don't think PIA has that ability. They do offer a dedicated IP to connect to but that is another subscription.

[–] lessthanthree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago

I use PIA for my VPN and I run Android TV devices for streaming. Not familiar with Tailscale so I'll look into that.

What's an easy way to accomplish this? I have a Chromecast and a TV with Android TV. I have PIA VPN installed on both.

 

What's the best practice for keeping everything behind a VPN? I'm running Ubuntu and have PIA installed outside of Docker. I want to for sure run qBittorrent and Prowlarr through a VPN. I was able to set up Gluetun and connect my containers to it.

I'd like to mirror my Windows set up with PIA installed, kill switch enabled, qBittorrent assigned to PIA network adapter only. I'm not sure how the network adapters work when qBittorrent is inside a container and PIA is outside.
