uhhhhahhhhohahhh: Oct 9, 2012

I use Caddy2 as a reverse proxy for Jellyfin, with basic auth. You don't get enough domains on DuckDNS to subdomain all the other things that are running.

I plan to replace it with Traefik as the reverse proxy at some point, and use Authelia for MFA and move Sonarr/Radarr etc. to folders so I don't need subdomains and can auth to all of them with just one login. This guide is specific to Traefik/LE/OAuth: https://www.smarthomebeginner.com/traefik-2-docker-tutorial/

This guide covers basically everything, but it's focused on using Docker: https://www.smarthomebeginner.com/docker-home-media-server-2018-basic/

Otherwise, I use the OpenVPN server on Xpenology, which gives me access to things like Sonarr and Radarr if I'm out and need them

I feel like every few months I have to do a cleanup on my Sonarr/Radarr/SABNZBD setup. Yesterday I spent 30m horsing around because my HTPC restart automatically for a Windows 10 update, and because it didn't login to Windows none of the startup apps got kicked off. Then I saw I couldn't login to anything and had to reset the passwords. Then I saw the port number on the machine changed, even though I told my router to reserve it for that MAC address.

All in all it was a huge PITA and I didn't realize things were broken for so long..I effectively lost 1 month of downloading and afraid to kick it off again as the backlog is pretty huge (1TB bandwidth limit here).

So 2 questions:

1) Is there a way for me to tell W10 to stop restarting for any kind of update? I'm pretty sure I downloaded some tools to prevent this, but for whatever reason I run into this every month or two. Things like MSFT Edge get re-installed and plastered all over the place, and after logging in it tells me to set some kind of system settings up (I honestly forget what). I get there are some security updates and such that I absolutely should install at some point, but given I don't put anything personal on this machine I don't mind waiting a few days. It just seems like W10 is force-installing stuff on my behalf.

2) Is there another way for me to track when these things die down? I presume there should be another way to be alerted that my port changed or something and SABNZBD can tell me other than having to login to the UI?

Heyo since we argued all night at work I'm gonna follow you to SA and argue here. :cheers:

I use traefik with a public domain, served over https with LetsEncrypt. I also have all my sites protected with Google oauth. So if you go to https://www.mysonarr.com you get a Google 2fa login prompt. I have a white list of google accounts that it lets login. It works super well, and I guess it's secure enough.

Sure, but if they�ve got a static ip that�s half the VPN problem solved. WireGuard is super fast and connects almost instantly. Of course, if your internal network is on a common default subnet, this is all moot.

I use traffic too to server Ombi up to friends and it works great (the LE integration and ability to add dockers with labels owns), it�s also serving out my gitea server. I love it. But VPN is still the most secure way to access stuff remotely if it�s just for you.

No. I mean, technically, you can spin up an AD domain and WSUS, but that would also require W10 enterprise for those settings to actually apply.

I would start by making sure everything is installed as a service, and make those services start on boot. The next step would be monitoring of some sort. The simplest would be to just load each page every day to see if they're working. If you have a second computer available, you can set up something like PRTG to watch either the web pages or the services and email you when they're down.

I had thought the answer to this would be it doesn't, as I run a similar setup (actually got its starting point from their Docker Compose I think) and in the past if I wanted to use nzb360 with the services outside my LAN instead of their GUI, I've VPN'ed in to do it to bypass Traefik.

But from some searching, looks like you can maybe just put the Oauth layer in front of the service GUIs through careful use of Traefik labels, and leave the service API endpoints bare for nzb360 to hit. So long as you don't mind leaving those endpoints bare, that is, using the API key for their protection. Have to see if I can get that to work.

If you come from a local IP you just get connected directly, otherwise you get redirected to organizr where you need to be a user login or an admin login depending if it's secured-admin or secured-user. Organizr is then using plex auth as it's login.

So I just got v3 of Sonarr and I had a question about the release profiles. If I set h265, hevc, and X265 at say 10 and X264 and h264 at a 1, would it download the 264 if it was available first, and then when the HEVC/265 becomes available it would download that after?

I think you need to add "Upgrade Available up to Indexer Preference" checkbox or something and then needs to be Monitored, but in theory yes. May require some tinkering.

I've got a convoluted setup but I have like +50 to *265 preference but also a file-size max and it seems to work in that it'll download 264 is nothing is available but also has to be under a certain size either way. i find it actually pretty hard to find older movies in *265 format, especially in the 1-7gb range.

Tigole does a pretty good job in this range, and he covers a good variety of new and old movies. Just throw his name in to your indexers Movies x265 section and you should get a fairly long list. He includes extras too which is nice if you like those, I personally strip that folder out mind.

The docker images of sonarr/radarr etc... have worked perfectly for me on Synology for several years now.

I've just re-built my entire setup using Traefik2 with oath and docker-compose. It took a solid two days to get it set up, but now its running smoothly it's so nice. The ability to update every container with just a couple of command lines is a huge QoL improvement for me, and the oauth authentication just works perfectly.

Yeah I bought VIP back in July 29 and it also came up as Green Coat Gaming. I used my Apple Card so I have pretty good real-time notification of transactions on my phone. I'll keep an eye on it. It sounds like it's only majorly a problem if you did used your CC on/after November 20th 2020 where they may have been intercepting all transactional data which is probably around when they were hijacked. They probably could have worded that better.

Random question - just installed a new HDD on my server and now my sabnzbd/radarr config is acting funky. I have stuff download to a high speed thumb drive then copy over to my slower, larger HDD after completion. Downloads are still completing but the radarr completed download automation for renaming doesn't seem to be working. The completed folder is copying to the new drive in the correct location but retains the directory name set by sabnzbd - not radarr (there's no proper radarr directory even though the individual movie setting has the correct path set).

I notice a few pages back some people have been talking about why NZBGet is downloading slowly. Recently I looked into my own setup, and saw that downloads were slowing down a lot more, getting down to 5 MB/s (when my connection can do about 47 MB/s).

Eventually I found that as I'm running it on a Linux server with a software RAID (yes, I know you don't like software RAID, I should use hardware RAID blah blah, I'm ok with it and it works fine) and the conclusion was that since version 16, NZBGet is causing an fsync to happen once per second, slowing down saving to disk considerably. The solution was to enable "FlushQueue=no" in the NZBGet config file. I couldn't find a way to change this from within the web interface. After changing this option, my download speeds went from 5 MB/s to 39 - 42 MB/s. If you've been having trouble with slow downloads you might want to try this option. FlushQueue does make the system more resistant to crashes and probably makes it easier to resume the queue after a crash but I don't really want that to completely cripple my download speeds.

I'm not sure where you would get the idea that software RAID is bad. Years ago it was looked down on for performance reasons but these days thanks to the progress of CPUs the performance advantage of hardware RAID has been more or less eliminated in most normal use cases, leaving mostly disadvantages in terms of proprietary formats, limited administration tools, etc.

Hardware RAID arrays can be a real pain in the rear end if you want or need to replace the controller, especially if you're moving to a different brand of controller, where software solutions don't really care what you're running them on. Software RAID is generally 100% portable within an operating system family regardless of underlying hardware and sometimes (particularly ZFS) portable across systems as long as the OS you're running implements the same or newer version of whichever solution you're using.

I don't know if this is a problem in my own setup, but I've never been able to auto-collect anime episodes. If I add a series and do a manual search, it pulls up completely unrelated shows and episodes. I don't follow that many shows anymore so I just manually download the episodes or season packs and then import them through Sonarr to keep everything uniform.

Very +1 cross post to the NAS thread, they get those exact questions all the time. In short, WD Reds are still quality drives, but you absolutely DO need to avoid SMR for a NAS application. WD hosed up by using SMR in their Red line, which was specifically marketed for NAS. They've since relaunched non-SMR Reds as Red Pro or some poo poo, selling the same drives as before but at a markup because this time they really are for NAS we promise :rolleyes:

A good general sweetspot calculation for price is $15/TB, if you can get close to that you should buy. If you do go WD Reds at those sizes, look up what serial numbers are SMR vs non-SMR, they were using it in the smaller drives, but I don't believe it was ever put in place on drives 8TB or larger.

Hardware RAID arrays can be a real pain in the rear end if you want or need to replace the controller, especially if you're moving to a different brand of controller, where software solutions don't really care what you're running them on. Software RAID is generally 100% portable within an operating system family regardless of underlying hardware and sometimes (particularly ZFS) portable across systems as long as the OS you're running implements the same or newer version of whichever solution you're using.

I put that in to preemptively dissuade those with that view who might want to derail this into an argument about hardware vs software RAID. With so many cores in modern CPUs, software RAID isn't much of an overhead any more. When I retired my previous desktop and made it into my home server I was able to very easily transfer the array over by just plugging the drives into the motherboard and a few PCIe SATA cards in fairly random order and Linux just picked it up. I remember a few years ago you had to get the drives to be detected by Linux in the same order as the original machine. Performance is good enough that I can saturate a 1 Gb/s network card when copying files and it seems to only take a few percent of CPU time on one core doing it.

Anyway, I posted that in case anyone else with NZBGet downloading to a RAID array encountered similar symptoms. Mention of it is buried away on the NZBGet performance tips page but not explained very well.

So is it a bad idea to sign up for Eweka with paypal?

Privacy.com is free. I�m happy I switched to eweka, it downloads way faster than supernews ever did.
