I'll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It's not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

Synology NAS (with SynoCommunity) + Transmission + Sonarr/Radarr/Prowlarr/etc + Kodi

It's amazing, the new episodes or movies just show up right there in the media center, with correct metadata, ready to be watched.

The modularity of docker makes this great! I have a docker stack with overseerr, 2x sonarr, 3x radarr, 2x readarr, lidarr, unpackerr and sabnzbd. Another stack with nordvpn and qbittorrent. It's so easy to setup and it becomes very powerful.

I have some users on Plex that simply do some requests on overseerr, I approve them, then everything gets downloaded automatically. They just have to wait for it to be available. I used to be suscribed to Netflix, not anymore since their offering dropped while their prices raised.

Why do you run multiple *arr containers? What can two or three do that one couldn't?

Radarr/Sonarr can't handle multiple versions of the same movie/episode, so a lot of people have a second instance for 4K movies (so they can have both a 1080p and a 4K version of the same movie). Also if you have a lot of anime it can be worth it to have a Sonarr instance configured just for that

[–] JC1@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The other reply is right!

I run 3 radarr: 1 for 1080p, 1 for 4k and 1 for 3d. (I share the 1080p, it's bilingual too, the 3d one is for fun)
I run 2 sonarr: 1 for English, 1 for French (since most often the series aren't bilingual, they're one language or the other)
I run 2 readarr: 1 for ebooks and 1 for audiobooks. (Sometimes I want the same book in audio form and in text)

This is probably a dumb question but how do you run Sonarr twice?

Also, where do you get your French content? I'm having a hell of a time finding places

[–] JC1@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lack of knowledge isn't dumb, it's just lack of knowledge. You can't know everything.

I run 2 docker containers, named slightly differently (my setup is a bit more complicated within a stack though). Then I map a different port for the FR one so it doesn't conflict. Of course, you need a different config volume. Then once the container is up, you can I link my FR sonarr to my EN one. So when I request something on my EN Sonarr, it also adds it to my FR Sonarr.

I also do that with movies, but for HD and 4K instead. I manage multi-language differently.

I'll PM you for my source of French content.

Thank you for the detailed response. This might be the shove I need to look into docker haha.

I would appreciate a pm with a source - thank you!
