I saw frugal advertising here and figured I might try a month or two to see what all the usenet fuss is about. Anything I should know in advance or is it just a matter of hooking things into SABNZBD and *arr and going to town?

Is Mylar3 bad or is the linuxsever.io container for it just not up to snuff? I’ve had to recreate it multiple times now due to basic stuff breaking and it’s just ungodly slow and unable to play ball well with indexers.

Is the go to for indexers Slug and whatever works well enough? I have geek and it’s fine; slug seems like you mainly want it for the “exclusive” items it covers.

Prowlarr is pretty neat but I’m not seeing a whole lot of benefit to it so long as I’m using a single provider/indexer; though I would expect that to change over time. It’s neat that you can hook it into private torrent sites for distros that aren’t in Usenet but I haven’t been able to get that working right thus far. Can’t quite tell if it’s me or the earlyish state of the software.

So what’s the Black Friday situation around indexers/providers? I’m monthly with Ninja, but I’d be open to swapping over if there are any expected decent deals on the horizon.

So hold on, you can have Prowlarr send stuff to *arr apps? I’ve only ever used it for manual downloads of stuff.

Is Mylar just a bad app? I’ve poked at it from time to time but it always is either borderline unusable due to errors/crashes or just doesn’t do anything. It’s super weird as linuxserver’s stuff is usually pretty rock solid.

I’ve tried Mylar3 and Mylar…..not 3, and only ever got the latter to do anything approaching anything. It’s not a huge issue, but it seems odd that LSIO would feature a broken app so I thought the problem could be on my end.

Finally got around to looking through TRaSH and man this is nicer. Though 95% of that is me being an idiot and running my containers with p/guid setting from a different server setup. Probs should make a dedicated Docker user with limited access and kick the containers over to that.

Yeah trash is pretty slick. I just set this up today too to sync my local stack with trash. Seems to be working fine on unraid so far https://github.com/recyclarr/recyclarr

Oh that’s nice. It’s really not that much trouble to tweak them yourself though. I’m sure someone has a container stack somewhere that has all this predone if you’re feeling especially lazy. The only issue is that I moved off of transmission to qBitTorrent and while it works fine I still need to sort out how to handle auto extracting and so forth though I’m sure that’s a solved problem.

I need to go piddle with my settings to see if I can up thins now that I’m on fiber. I’m frankly fine with current speeds but eh, why not. Is there any sort of science there or is it just plugging in random numbers from the range your provider says to use and see what takes?

Prowlarr is an indexer manager, so instead of setting each indexer you have up on each *arr app, you set them up once in Prowlarr then point all your other *arr's to it. Not necessary but convenient.

It also can function as a decent way to search for content across all your indexers without having to log in and do it on each. Good for items you are looking for but don’t want to be assed with setting up in *arr.

Post your docker-config file. Also I'd strongly suggest going through the TRaSH guides walkthrough for this as it handles all the "put the downloads here" stuff pretty well.

Also gluetun is a pretty good "I want this container to use a VPN" solution as well. Works out of the box with a bunch of providers and has stuff like healthchecks set up as well.

I’ve never found anything Jellyfin is better at. But plex is much better at some edge use cases that if it matters to you, you’ll never use anything else. (For me, I YouTube-dl tech channels then watch at 2x speed on a iPad. Jellyfin and Emby are both horrible for organizing YouTube dl content)

Are you using an agent or anything for those? I’ve used ZeroQL’s for a while new and while it mostly works I’m always open to hearing about other options.

For one, RAID and backups but that’s a good chunk of data to be storing somewhere. If a file list and location are what you want a tree command of some kind would get you there though it would be a bit unwieldy.

Yeah also that. I’ve never heard of a natural occurrence of “EMP drive wiping” short of a power surge or the like, but you should have your stuff on a NAS and behind a UPS if you care about your data to begin with.

As for “EMP attack”, bud you’re going to have other concerns when world war 3 starts so I wouldn’t fret about your media at that point.

Didn't know about this vendor-- that s3 compatible is just cheap enough for my volume of data I might just set the nas to sync it.

That'd be their e2 service that's a bit more expensive. About 17 $/mth at 10TB. This said, their "basic" service has a Synology app they use that more or less "just works". I don't think it's fully featured as S3 stuff but offsite is offsite.

1. It should be fine? I don’t think anyone cares but most have crypto options if you’re that sort of person. There is also stuff like Privacy.com burner cards if you’d prefer.

2. Also, should be fine but keep your OS patched and so on. I prefer containers for this reason but to each their own.

Also you don’t really “need” a VPN for Usenet for reasons others can explain much better than myself, but it doesn’t hurt except for speed.

That or Prowlarr. You still would have to hook up the downloaders though; it’s dumb that they won’t add that functionality. It’s also a good excuse to use docker and docker-compose files as you can toss whatever on whatever and it’ll by and large pick up where it left off.

I tried an RDB based setup a few years ago and was startled at how good it was, but it involved signing up to like 5 different services with bitcoin etc not unlike usenet and was a bit convoluted. Is there a way to integrate it into plex? Because that would be sweet.

Oh fun, never messing with that then. Dognzb’s tshirt nonsense was enough to make me buy some coin and that was enough of a pain in the rear end that I actually did a year with them as trying to get that back out into a real currency wasn’t worth the effort. I’m not doing that again for something I know there is a catch for.

Just a heads up for anyone else in my situation, Linuxserver’s Nzbget image is no longer supported and, per them, neither is the app itself. Advised migration is Sabnzbd which is pretty painless but I am getting less throughput.
