A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks 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?

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.

Prowlarr, recyclarr, and trash guides.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

it's those pesky docker volume maps and hardlinks

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

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