Advanced pirates, whats a tip others might not know?
I'll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It's not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

Yes this has been a game changer and would've been my advice too (but you posted before me).
Using a deluge container with vpn baked in is amazing. And also it makes setup so much easier. Instead of messing with tags and complicated configs I simply run a deluge docker container for each other app. My movies docker compose file starts up radarr and it's own deluge and jacket etc. My television docker compose file starts up medusa, it's own deluge, etc.
Provides for maximum flexibility. And put traefik in front of it all.... so I go to "movies.mydomain.net" and can use radarr.... or "television.mydomain.net" and it goes to medusa. Much more family friendly.
I'm still rolling Binhex's (now deprecated) rTorrent/ruTorrent container, and I'm glad I got it before it stopped being maintained. Tbh the scheduling capability built into that far exceeds anything else I've used (three tiers of scheduling on top of "off" and "unlimited").
I make use of reverse proxying through Nginx Proxy Manager to hit nzb360 from outside my home, though if I can get it working properly I might be dropping that and going through Tailscale with local routing. I just haven't had a chance to futz with that yet.
thats fuckin sick, i didnt even think of doing that. i tired using one of those apps like overseer or whatever and i never got used to it.
Nothing wrong with Overseer once you have the *arrs up and running, tbh. Though if it's just you, there isn't much point since everything can be done directly through the *arr web interfaces. If you're hosting your media server to other friends, then a request system like Overseerr or Ombi makes way more sense.
To be fair, i havent checked it out in a while, it could very well be better these days. I like the idea of each arr having its own domain tho
They each have their benefits. I use both. I only expose Overseer externally. It’s nice and easy to pop it open and add a new movie/show while I’m away from a computer. Then I’ll use one of the *arrs when I need to do something more advanced or I’m using a desktop locally.
That make sense. if you put your *aars on docker containers, its fairly easy to expose it safely, tho. Most of the time its just people asking me to download the stuff anyway
