Why add the third party? Just run an instance of wireguard on your home network and call it a day.

Are you transcoding? If so, need to make sure your CPU or GPU are up to he task.
MAM is by far the best. MAM coupled with audiobookshelf is an Audible replacement.
I have ~115TB of spinning rust currently. I house them (collection of 8-14TB WD white labels) in a DS4243 in which I replaced the IOM3s with IOM6s. I have this hooked up to a R630 (via an H200 IT controller) running ESXi with several VMs including a Windows VM running SnapRAID+Drivepool to manage the storage. I have the pool setup as a network share and run a docker stack with in which I bind the storage in fstab to my *arr setup, nzbhydra, rdt-client, etc. Someday I may transition to a full Linux setup with freenas, but this setup has served me well for years.
True pirates only get their Internet from the parking lot of a BK lounge, 😂.
Fair, lol.
Enjoying .zip myself.
If you do this make sure you have a good backup solution in place. Don't be like me running a nextcloud instance on a single disk server and when the disk died I lost everything. I've since moved to a parity based backup solution.
Look into snapRAID. It does parity based data protection (up to 6 I believe). It's free, opensource. I use it to run a nightly sync and scrub of ~3% of my total disk space, so in a month it scrubs everything to protect against bit rot. It then shoots me a nightly email with any errors or issues it detects. There is a learning curve, but I'm happy to provide some basic scripts for you to get it running in Windows. You can also run it on top of pooling solution such as Drivepool.
So I don't use overseerr but I do use jellyseerr with my emby setup. Both are just webservers that use a webpage/site that you can login to and add/search for content that will then be sent to your -arr stack and finally indexed into Plex/Emby. You can install overseerr on whatever machine you like, but to access it your other devices need to know where to find it (ie IP:port of hosting machine). You should really set up overseerr on a machine that runs continuously, so like others have said, likely the machine you run Plex on.
I personally take this a step further and use an internal custom domain name (ie. jellyseerr.mymedia.com) that can be accessed from any device on my internal network. I set my router to capture all domain requests for "mymedia.com" and redirect them to a reverse proxy (swag in my case) that will then forward the requests to different IP:port combinations based on subdomain. For example: emby.mymedia.com, jellyseerr.mymedia.com, radarr.mymedia.com, etc. This allows you to access all your services using easy to remember domain names instead of IP addresses.
No need for VPN, but keep the SSL on SABnzbd. At some point I should probably switch over from nzbget, but it's been solid for years.
Gdit, I would argue with you if my bullet ranking wasn't 600 points higher on Lichess.
That's exactly something a guilty party would say, lol.
Agree! I turned on the arr/nzbget/nzbhydra/Emby docker stack several years ago and it just works. I add content from my phone and it's downloaded and organized in Emby within 10 minutes. I started with several providers and indexers at first and whittled it down to Eweka (Omicron)/Newsdemon (Usenetexpress) for providers and Geek/Drunkenslug/althub for indexers.
I've exclusively used Sonarr/Radarr/Readarr for TV/Movies/Books and audiobooks for the past several years. Combined with a few usenet indexers and a decent usenet provider these programs are fantastic (fully automated other than selecting the content and speeds often max my gig connection). It does take a bit of reading and tweaking to get it all setup but I can't recall the last time I couldn't find content.
MAM is why I have a seedbox.
I feel ya. I started out with 2TB in 2010ish. Now I have 115TB in a disk self and want to keep adding more. Snapraid+Drivepool for parity protection and Emby to serve and organize (along with an -arr setup).
This actually works very well.
I've spent more time than I'd like to admit playing EQ on Imperium.
Just wanted to give another upvote to audiobookshelf. It's a great audible replacement and allows for local downloading and server syncing. Great project!
Yeah, not sure what I was expecting. Maybe a PSA about trafficking
That looks great. Seems it would work well if you don't want the server options that come with audiobookshelf.
This is always my go to.
Have you tried good old Usenet?
Thanks, that makes sense.
Any experience with Readarr, how do the two compare?
Thanks! I'm here trying to Google fu all of these words. I've never even considered looking for ways to get this type of content for free. Good to know this exists!
You could disable transcoding. But depending on what device you are streaming to this may not be possible. The device would have to support decoding of whatever the stream is encoded as. After several issues with Quicksync errors with an older Intel CPU, I finally tossed an old 1050ti in my Emby box. I patched the driver so it can handle more 1080p streams (https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch). It is solid, fixed all of my buffering/stuttering/artifacting issues and I think it can do 2-3 simultaneous 4k transcodes.
Milk, the best way to hydrate.
It's my go to for ebooks, but with tv and movies it only pulls ~5% in NZBHydra stats vs the 65% of DS.
I installed mine on OPNsense. I used the OPNsense documentation: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/wireguard-client.html. Here is another guide: https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/road-warrior-vpn-wireguard-opnsense/. And yet another if you want to set it up in docker: https://linuxiac.com/how-to-set-up-wireguard-vpn-with-docker/. However, the firewall rules can get a bit messy.
What are you listening to? I'm just about finished with Rebecca Yarros - Fourth Wing.
Nice! I'll have to check it out. Scifi and fantasy are 90% of what I read/listen to, lol.
I run SnapRAID on top of Drivepool on a windows machine. You could use SnapRAID with something like mergerfs on Linux if you wanted. I have two pools (10 data, 3 parity) and a (3 data, 1 parity). With snapraid I run pool syncs nightly and scrub (~3% nightly to cover the entire array monthly).I tried unRAID first and liked it, but there were some issues with my LSI controller resulting in poor write speed, I was never able to figure it out. I've been running the Drivepoo/SnapRAID combination now for ~6 years or so. I've had to rebuild two drives from parity in that time and it was painless (a config file edit and two commands).
Not sure why this is down voted other than some people may not consider it 'casual'. An -arr setup with usenet is fantastic! The setup has a bit of a learning curve, but it's well documented in multiple places. Once it's setup, it's full automated and you just click on the stuff you want.
Yep, been using them for ~8 years. Never had a reason to use anything else.
This is the way!
In the early 2000s when I was playing EverQuest like it was my job (~50hr/wk, I'm embarassed to say) I would have a couple recurrent dreams of being a character in EverQuest. The first I was being chased by Cazel (a named sand giant) through a zone called Oasis of Mar. In the second, a griffin was being pulled to the East Commons tunnel (big trading hub in the early days of EverQuest) and I kept dropping my bags trying to run away.
Prepare thine cochlear senses, oh noble audiophiles, for I've stumbled upon a sonorous marvel that'll make your eardrums jitterbug like caffeinated squirrels at a techno rave. Upon placing these auditory gems upon your cranium, it's as if you're spelunking through the caverns of sound, where the bass is so profound that it feels like a cosmic beluga whale serenading a black hole.
