    I cancelled after the last hike, and my family has access to my plex server with great quality and reliability, and a simple request system. But they barely use it. They just got their own Netflix after I cancelled the one we shared that I was paying for.

      Finally got fiber at my home and created many accounts for my family on my emby server. Wanted to give them access to my overseer server but I don’t trust it’s very secure. I will just let them access it and make requests when they visit.

        I think a reverse proxy really helps with the security concerns

          Not being a network guy, it took a bit for me to get reverse proxy set up on my Synology NAS, but now all my services run through it and have LetsEncrypt certs.

          Highly recommend reverse proxy to obscure your services and make it easier for friends and family to find them!

            Yeah, it wasn’t the easiest thing. Though, I think my biggest problem was due to docker. All of my services are in containers, reverse proxy included, and it took a bit to figure out that not all network types in docker containers can natively communicate with eachother. I think I ended up putting everything in bridged mode so they could all communicate.

              You’re father along in the tech than I am, so kudos! I tried docker and just couldn’t get things to work how I wanted or expected. I’m sure I’ll try again in the future but had a kid in 2019 so haven’t really revisited it! You give me hope!!

        Fat Far out! You’re like the only person I’ve seen mention emby. It’s always Plex. Been running emby for a while and it’s great.

      Do you use sonarr/radarr/jackett? I can’t seem to find any good indexers that actually work

        Sonarr radarr prowlarr

        Accounts with IPTorrents, AlphaRatio, and TorrentLeech

        All my stuff comes from them

          Looks like IPT and TL are invite only or you can pay money… Is that how you got in or did you get an invite? Seems kinda sketchy sending them money for a seedbox I’ll never use. AT is inv only.

            I got an invite for IPT from a friend, was my first private tracker. I think the others I got during open registrations they had.

            I’ve got invites, you able to seed back for 2 weeks?

            If multiple invitees have bad ratio, the inviter can have their account disabled. So usually invite sharing with strangers goes along with proof of past ratio.

            There was a subreddit for it, maybe there’s a lemmy community

              That would be awesome if I could get invites! I just set up a headless Ubuntu Server that will always be on and I can set up my seed ratio to infinite.

              I’m rocking ProtonVPN pro with fiber so I have 1000Mbps up/down without vpn. Not exactly sure what the max up with that is.

              As for proof I don’t have much. My only current one is 49gb downloaded v 53gb up

                Just checked, and yes, on all 3 platforms I see the username of the person I invited and can check their stats, and I can also see the person who invited me and their stats.

                    I’m not sure,

                    But maybe keep an eye on [email protected] I know the TL and AR invites I got were from /r/opensignups posts

      I’ve been doodling around with Plex and sonarr in a Docker setup on my Linux box, but I’ve run into some issues that I can’t figure out. Any good resources to recommend for creating the optimal setup?

      • @NightAuthor

        I can’t say I know of a good single resource, I’ve learned a lot about docker and linux over the years just googling and trying things. There are now a number of scripts and docker-compose setups that will get everything set up for you with little effort.

        My setup is using docker containers running on the UnRaid OS. UnRaid makes docker deployment slightly easier, but it requires that a docker container also include a custom config file that allows it to be configured via unraid’s webui. I’ve found this limiting from time to time, when I find dockers that I want to use, but couldn’t install via the webui. So I learned a bit about using docker from the command line, which actually wasn’t all that hard. Especially with docker-compose.

        One issue in particular that took a minute to figure out with docker, if you need the containers to talk to eachother, you have to be aware that certain types of docker network connections will not automatically see the other containers, even if both containers are connected to your home network.

        Just stick with Plex/Jellyfin + any and all apps ending with *arr (aka the *arr stack).

          Yup, this is exactly the issue I haven’t been able to figure out. For some reason, the files I download in Sonarr are associated with a user group that Plex isn’t a part of, so Plex can’t see the files (and I’ve tried adding Plex to that group and it still doesn’t work, argh). I know you can specify a UID and other specifics when you initialize a container, but inside the container itself that doesn’t seem to apply, it sets its own user parameters. I’m about ready to throw in the towel and just run the software on my machine itself with a VPN, because then at least everything will be able to talk to each other.

            Make a new user group and add everyone to it, then change the permissions of the target directory Sudo addgroup newgroup Sudo usermod —append —groups newgroup user Sudo chown -r newgroup:newgroup ./*

            I had the same issue. Adding it all to the same group fixed it for me

            Luckily perms don’t seem to be much of an issue on UnRaid, I think there’s a solid convention for user and group so files are generally accessible to all apps.

            Worst case scenario, you just chmod 777 everything
