Howdy selfhosters

I’ve got a bit of an interesting one that started as a learning experience but it’s one I think I got a bit over my head in. I had been running the arr stack via docker-compose on my old Ubuntu desktop pc. I got lucky with a recycler and managed to get a decent old workstation and my company tossed out some 15 SAS hdds. Thankfully those worked. I managed to get the proxmox setup finally and got a few drives mounted in a zfs pool that plex presently reads from. I unfortunately failed to manage to save a last backup copy of my old stack, however that one I’ll admit was a bit messy with using gluetun with a vpn tie to a German server for p2p on the stack. I did preserve a lot of my old data though as a migration for the media libraries.

I’m open to suggestions to have the stack running again on proxmox on the work station, I’m not sure how best to go about it with this since accessing a mount point is only accessible via lxc containers and I can’t really figure how to pass the zfs shares to a vm. I feel like I’m over complicating this but needing to maintain a secure connection since burgerland doesn’t make for the best arr stack hosts in my experience. It feels a bit daunting as I’ve tried to tackle it and give a few LLMs to write me up some guidelines to make it easier but I seemed to just not be able to make that work to teach me.

That’s really solid actually. Arguably how tedious was that setup? I’m certainly curious.

Super simple, like 30 minutes to setup mergerfs and then the bind mounts are a few lines added to the LXC config files at most. This isn't necessarily needed, but I have users setup on the proxmox host with access to specific directories that are kind of a pain in the ass to remap the LXC users to, but were needed to give my *arr stack access to everything needed without giving access to the entire storage pool. Hard links won't work across multiple bind mounts because the container will see them as separate file systems, so if your setup is /mnt/storage/TV, /mnt/storage/downloads, etc. then you'd have to pass just /mnt/storage as the bind mount.
