Just out of curiosity, why bother running 4 instances of qBit for the various *arrs? Why not just use automatic torrent management, and have the different categories download to different folders? My *arrs are all using a single instance of qBit, and each service simply uses a different category with a different download path.

I started to become frustrated with the queue on a single qbit instance, I would set the max total of active torrents to 15; 10 active downloads and 5 seeding and it starts out fine but eventually those 10 active downloads all became stalled.

The amount of times I have had to open qbit to just move stuff down the queue so other things could download was obnoxious so I made 3 other instances for each *arr and it’s felt easier to manage.

Proton VPN claims to offer Port-Forwarding for their Wireguard router configs however, when I attempt to do it they don’t display the active port anywhere on their website.

Asus WRT Routers are great however, it doesn’t support certain Registrars for DDNS like Cloudflare so I had to install Merlin Firmware, ssh into the router and then manually configure a cron-job so that my A records stay up to date with my WAN.

Thankfully somebody already been down this path a posted the documentation which made things 100x easier.

  • Pihole
  • Prowlarr (for indexers)
  • Radarr
  • Sonarr
  • Lidarr
  • Readarr
  • 4 Instances of QBit for each ‘Arr
  • Jellyfin

Kind of a crude & simplified way of putting my setup but I think it gets the point across.

Just trying to see my phone bill man, I know I trusted those for some good reason.

It actually pairs quite nicely with uBlock.

another option is to have a browser that's used for these activities only.

Doesn’t help that my PiHole is also blocking these at a DNS level as well my network is all routed behind VPN tunnels.

Pretty much all telecom companies around me do this.

thank you for your service!

All about that FOSS!

Problem is now, I can’t login to see my phone bill. Horrid design.

Pretty sure IR lasers fry cameras - set one up in the robots path

I bought an 13th Gen Asus Nuc with an i7 running Debian headless and a hard-disk bay for my setup, previously all I was using was a Rasp Pi 4, I honestly don’t know if my Jellyfin instance is utilizing the CPU’s iGPU not really sure how to tell.

Running lspci in the shell does return

Been using Jellyfin along side the ‘ARR suite for about a year now, my biggest issue is with Subtitles.

On the IOS/iPadOS apps of Jellyfin subtitles seem to prevent media from streaming, tried utilizing Bazaar but have had no luck.

 

Kinda want to keep this short. My Asus WRT router running Merlin firmware is currently handling my VPN connections & routing.

There is some part of me thinking if my providers servers go down my router may fallback to WAN, should I run an additional VPN connection on the device/server itself just in case?

It’s been about a year with this setup however this potential issue has been irking me.

Edit: Kill-switch is disabled on the router’s tunnels as it appears to be bugged in two ways. 1) any manual DNS settings get disregarded network-wide 2) it kills all network connections and not just the devices affected.
