I’m biased but I think everyone should do this. You can basically find the hardware you’d need out of a dumpster, and then you can slowly build your library from there.

If you find torrenting to be distasteful, you can get a cheap USB DVD reader and rip dvds instead.
It’s still technically considered infringement, but at least it’s completely private.
I honestly don’t know why you wouldn’t just do jellyfin, unless you’re limited by your hardware and kodi somehow has less overhead?
They’re both free I guess. You can try them on and see how well they serve tour use case
Guess ill be trying my hand at building my own pfsense router

Yup, I was only pointing out that i was having trouble doing the same thing in my docker compose (using the webui_port env variable did not avoid port collisions at deployment)
I haven’t tried this particular compose outline though. It could also be the pirate_network they’re initiating or the depends_on variables they’re using, I just haven’t played around with it yet.
Question: how are you deploying your arr apps? do you do that in a separate compose file?
AFAIK the thing that complicates this is trying to run it behind gluetun
docker makes it really easy to specify a unique port on deployment, but when you’re using a network bridge (as in the case of gluetun) the networking settings are controlled there instead, so you can’t use the normal port declarations. It’s apparently not impossible to do it with gluetun but it seems it’s not as straightforward.
lmao. I’m starting to really wonder what the WEBGUI_PORT variable does if not exactly what you’re changing in the GUI… someone else mentioned they got multiple instances to deploy from the same compose file by placing the gluetun service at the end of the file. I wonder if the order in which the containers are deployed is the thing that makes this work. i’ll test more when I have the time
I might need to try this… I wonder if it makes a difference that the gluetun service is listed last. I noticed that trying to start the containers in the wrong order results in port collision errors, maybe this is why it works for you?
This worked!!
Shame that it’s a little bit of a runaround, but not only did this work, it also persists after restarts and updates.
I’ll be editing my post and offering it as a solution to the other places I have seen this question asked, thank you a ton!
I’m looking at hotio now.
their documentation isn’t as comprehensive as linuxserver.io, i’ll probably have to just try it out and see if it works. looks like they also have one that has wireguard bundled but it’s really unclear how that works
Can I ask what your compose file looks like? Or how you deployed?
yea, i just tried a couple things to no avail:
publish a new port in gluetun, e.g.
- 8082:8082
then set webui port in the new instance:
- environment:
- WEBUI_PORT: 8082
error on deployment
Then I tried spinning up the new container separately, declaring the pots eg:
- ports:
- 8082:8082
and then manually switching the network to gluetun and turning off the port declaration, and it still ends up on the default port. Bummer.
nah, it seems like it’s a known problem, no worries. There’s an unresolved issue open on the gluetun github about it. I just figured someone would have had a workaround at this point since I see people recommend separate client instances to keep things organized all the time.
I think the people who do that just don’t use a VPN, but I have strong feelings against exposing my IP
edit: that’s interesting. I’ve tried a few variations, but maybe I didn’t try that one
I think you basically need a private tracker for lidarr. The arr suite is mostly targeted toward collecting media of a particular quality and will sit on its hands if what it finds doesn’t meet that standard
Music is also not well represented in the public indexers, so it’s not surprising it doesn’t always find what you’re looking for
Also, the point of HA is usually to avoid 3rd party servers, so you don’t just need something that runs HA, you need something that can receive data signals that may not be over wifi. Unless you can connect 3rd party receiver dongles to your phone, it’ll end up limiting which devices you can use on your network.
Blaming voters for the results of a liberal democracy is like blaming consumers who don’t recycle their plastic for climate change.

Yup, I ended up frankensteining a nas from various craigslist parts (i actually found a low-power business-class server motherboard that has worked out well for the purpose). Had to get a SAS HBA card and a couple SFF-8087 cables to do the job right, and I grabbed an old gaming case from the 2010’s to hold it all, but it was relatively seamless. I had one of the drives go out already, but luckily I had it in a raid configuration with parity so it was just a matter of swapping out the drives and rebuilding.
It’s been fun and rewarding, for sure! I’m glad I didn’t sell them like these other dweebs told me to lol
