yea, transcoding 4k files is going to choke just about anything. don't offer the 4K movies to non 4K devices that can direct play them. Like i have a separate library for 4K movies, and only certain users have access to that library that i have set up their clients to play those files directly so it does NOT transcode them.

Hmm, interesting idea. Will it also choke modern processors as well, even with Plex hardware transcoding?

Seems like a pain to split things into separate libraries manually, unless that can be automated somehow? Like if a movie is 4K, put it in my movies_4k folder instead?

I think a modern GPU should be able to handle 4k transcodes. I've got a Quadro P2000 in my Unraid box, and haven't run into any issues serving up 3-4 concurrent 4k hevc streams at 720p and 1080p.

I have the standard SABnzbd/Sonarr/Radarr setup going in Windows (same PC as my Plex server), but I'm having issues with like 25% of my downloads not being sorted into the correct folder. They end up on my destination drive as the standard Title.Resolution.Quality.ReleaseGroup name instead of being renamed into Show (Year)\Season folders. I assume this has something to do with something locking the folder open. Any ideas on what would be causing this?

In my Plex server settings, I have "scan my library automatically" (when changes are detected to library folders) and "run a partial scan when changes are detected" (when changes to library folders are detected, only scan the folder that changed). The "scan my library periodically" option is unchecked. Is there any reason to keep the first 2 both checked, or should I just use one of them? Could this scan lock the download folders so they can't be renamed and sorted properly?

This here string:
- --certificatesresolvers.leresolver.acme.dnsChallenge=true

Tells Traefik and LetEncrypt how to validate that you actually own the Domain that you are added certs for. I use the Godaddy API to allow Traefik to login and check to verify I own it. You can also use a different check called "tls challenge" (documented here: https://docs.traefik.io/https/acme/) that tells Treafik to just resolve that hostname and test. This requires you to have 443 open from that hostname's IP and it has to get back to Traefik. I did not use that because I didn't initially have Oauth setup, and it would have required me to open my network to traffic before it was secure enough.

Thanks again for this, I was able to port my setup using your Compose as a starting base with a minimal of fuckery, preserving all the backend container volume data so the move was as transparent to services as could be.

Truly, we live in an age of wonders...

Now if only apps like NZB360 could support Oauth2, it'd be perfect.

It sort of works if you auth through the browser and then open the app. You can also setup a direct "PORT:" right on the container, and it will by pass Traefik entirely if you go to the port, like I have setup for Calibre in that example (8080:8080). That will allow NZB and whatever else you use to work if you configure it to reach them directly. I'd advise against opening up those ports on your firewall and just letting the entire world get directly at your stack, but internally (or over a VPN I guess) it'd work.

Anyone know what backbone premiumize.me is on? They aren't primarily a Usenet provider, and you have a monthly quota shared between all their stuff. But I've been noticing it has been catching 99% of things that fall to it. I have it as same priority as the frugal bonus server since both have a 1TB monthly quota which is also really impeccable as a backup.

You set up two different installations of Radarr. In instance 1, you use the 4K profile and tell it to download to movies_4k. In instance 2, you use a 1080 profile and tell it to download to movies_1080. You have to add movies to both instances of Radarr if you want both copies. Each folder is added as a separate library in Plex.

have you ever used a .plexignore file before? these files are essential from keeping your 4K movies from showing up in Plex libraries not meant for 4K capable users/clients. Especially if your 4K folder is within your main movie folder such as mine.

usenet.premiumize.me and no I use it with NZBget.

You really get strangely a lot for your money. Usenet, 1TB of cloud storage, VPN, international VOIP, download torrents for you so your IP is never in the swarm, and let you download from a lot of file hosts without premium. I found out about it when I was messing with Kodi boxes because it is supported as a debrid server and kept it long after I gave up on Kodi in favor of just running my own auto fed Plex server.

Edit: Might as well through out my referral link https://www.premiumize.me/ref/390043947 as we both get 15 bonus days of premium if you buy premium time.

so uh Usenet has always somewhat intrigued me, I've got a reader working, have successfully downloaded some files but

is this it?

is it basically Old-Style Torrenting without having to faff about with seed/seeder shenanigans?

Is a good indexer basically the same as a good tracker?

Basically, nobody uses a "reader" for downloading from usenet. They use tools like sonarr along with nzbget to automate the poo poo out of it.

Im not entirely sure what you’re looking for that you’re not getting. Usenet means not having to seed back to ratio or time limits, it’s purely one way.

it is also the same as newsgroupdirect which doesnt exactly have glowing reviews even just in this topic as far as retention goes. 1100 days is a very generous number for them to advertise probably borderline false advertising. also i dont think i would want to pay for 4 years upfront of anything especially usenet. end of the year prices will probably be 20 bucks a year the way they keep dropping.

A friend wants me to help them get set up. They’re competent but not as tech savvy as most of us.

I was going to set them up with docker with everything inside a docker-compose file, because I figure it’s easier for them to have one ‘program’ to open and updating is as easy as stopping and restarting the containers than it is to have them maintain and update NZBGet, Sonarr, Radarr, Hydra and Plex individually and worry about mono versions etc.

I know for me everything has got easier to manage since I migrated to Docker, but I’m a much heavier user than I expect them to ever be.

Is this overkill and am I going about this the wrong way? Would I be better off setting them up with everything running outside of containers and tell them to just update from inside the apps?

Why don't you ask your friend what does he/she actually want? Explain the pros and cons of each solution, show them how to use docker if they're interested and go from there? If you're gonna be the one maintaining/upgrading their solution then sure, install whatever you want. Otherwise no.

Never update dockers in container. They're ephemeral. You can probably automate the update process with a cron job, or a script.

Just be aware that the dockers will update themselves and updates can occasionally break functionality. I've only had it happen for QBittorrent for me thus far, but it could theoretically happen to any of the containers.

To be clear, the apps might be configured to do so, but automatically updating themselves is not a general feature of docker containers.

Keep an adversary in the dark about what you're capable of, and he has to assume the worst.
To further complicate things, "never update dockers in a container" isn't a hard rule either. My Nextcloud instance needs to be updated through the Nextcloud interface for example.

Before I switched to unraid I used the previously mentioned watchtower container to keep things automatically updating. It works well but with any docker updates keep periodic backups of the config folders in case you need to roll back. Occasionally you can get a broken update or have things break due to a major version change.

No, it's a pretty hard rule. Containers are supposed to be operated as if they were immutable. If you're not upgrading Nextcloud by throwing out the old container and spinning up a new one you and/or the container you're using is doing something wrong.

The Linuxserver Nextcloud does some weird updating stuff, but the official Nextcloud image handles migrating the persistent data correctly when you replace the container image, automatically handling major version updates.

Sonarr v3 had a bug on the last version where it would hang process monitored downloads task. Mine had not downloaded anything in 3 days before I noticed. Update that fixes it would fail to auto install also, so had to go get the latest version on the website and install it. Also after installing had to change what the (windows) service uses as an account to get everything back to normal.
