I setup the auto-delete function. I placed a very high ratio and a certain amount of days to stay active. I’d prefer to seed indefinitely but this will do for now.

I’m definitely getting more storage soon.

What’s the best way to easily delete both files? I first assumed that deleting listings from Radarr cleaned up both files.

The system is down

You would delete the download to completey stop seeding. Take a look at the guides others have posted.

My structure is this:

torrent -movies -TV

media -movies -TV

qbit downloads to the torrent folder where it seeds out from. Radarr/Sonarr make a Hardlink copy from the torrent folder to the media folder. Your media software watches the media folder.

Any models of DAS that you recommend? Looking for a 4-Bay

Edit: Would security flaws be an issue for something like a DAS though? The DAS wouldn’t have anything running on it. It would just be a big ol’ dumb external HDD. Right?

I had been planning on running Jellyfin in parallel for testing but haven’t gotten around to it. Plex has been reliable for me. And I really enjoy Plexamp.

It’s just what I’ve been using for so long. And I have a lifetime Plex Pass.

No reason other than price. Everything I see listed for Synology is a NAS setup.

I may go down the DAS path then. I was eyeing a QNAP 4-Bay DAS. Perhaps a NAS later on if I’m in need of a home network storage solution that is a bit cleaner and user friendly.

USB speed? Everything has been completely fine with the USB enclosure I have it running on right now.

I’m not doing any backups with this setup. This would solely be for media that will be streamed through Plex. While having a drive fail will be annoying, it wouldn’t be catastrophic as nothing personal or important would be stored here. I would rely on the Arr setup to rebuild.

Honestly, I’m just trying to squeeze out any HDD space I can use. I’m trying to keep the cost down where I can.

I had been thinking about setting up a router with VPN built in. I was already planning to upgrade my router anyway. So that may be the approach I take.

I don’t think PIA has that ability. They do offer a dedicated IP to connect to but that is another subscription.

I use PIA for my VPN and I run Android TV devices for streaming. Not familiar with Tailscale so I’ll look into that.

What’s an easy way to accomplish this? I have a Chromecast and a TV with Android TV. I have PIA VPN installed on both.

How would I work around Real Debrid rules using a VPN+Stremio on 2 screens at home?

Not the user above. But I find Stremio to be a way better experience overall. It’s more convenient and quicker to get to what I want to watch. I’ve been off Netflix for a while, but there were times where the Continue Watching section would just be gone. I’d have to search for the show again and resume. The more services you replace with Stremio, the more convenient it becomes.

I have not looked into offline playback with Stremio so I’m not sure if that’s a thing.

I’ve had Shift+W programmed to my thumb button. Way more relaxed way to sprint in most games.

Not going to down vote you for disagreeing. I think the frustrations stem from the constant closure of apps. Whether it makes sense or not, it is annoying getting invested into a service and then it gets pulled away. I would say it’s essentially inevitable that any app or service you use today will lose support at some point. Google has a track record now of closing apps fairly early. I’m already finding that YouTube Music is getting features that I have no interest in using.

Play Music pulled me away from my alternative sources of music. I used to keep a gigantic library of acquired music. I’m going back to old means now that YouTube music seems to be going down weird routes and adding functions that absolutely do not benefit me. Samples and comments? No thanks.

Only thing keeping me subscribed is YouTube premium. I watch a lot of YouTube content.

I’m trying to recreate this setup in my system. I’m running Ubuntu and I have everything in Docker. I have PIA running outside of Docker. I was also able to get Gluetun working in its own container, too. Does anyone have advice?

I was having trouble adding this on to Prowlarr. Anyone know what’s up with that?
