Dunno, man. Its been working so far. I'll check out prowlarr, thanks
Yeah no worries - I discovered Prowlarr from that exact same comment years ago so jumped at the opportunity to post it here π
Tbh the whole arr suite is a headache to get working well...
Sorry to hear that that's been your experience! :( My installation has been running for ~5 years without any problems
you got the hard links working?
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?
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.
Just found this. https://lemm.ee/post/58579926
Seems like I'm not so weird after all....
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.
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.
Whatβs not working for you?
For me after a decade using -arr the only thing Iβve had significant issues with has been trying to use the Tailscale integration on Unraid 7 to tunnel the dockers through an exit node which isβ¦ not at all the fault of -arr containers lol
Prowlarr, recyclarr, and trash guides.
it's those pesky docker volume maps and hardlinks
I've had the opposite experience. It all "just worked". Try running unraid. It makes a lot of it so much easier.
