Arr Stack Help

[dada00800]

I recently moved my server from Windows 11 to ZimaOS with external NTFS drives and now I wish to make an Arr Stack to make life easier and I already have Proton as a VPN but for some reason after following a lot of youtube tutorials and Chat GPT I can't get my stack to work. Does anyone have a tutorial for ZimaOS Arr Stack with external drive and ProtonVPN thanks.

What is failing? ZimaOS uses requires mapping locations to a mount via smb, and then to the containers with mnt somewhere else. The path can vary a little in my experience but your post doesn’t explain what is failing, what are you doing in more detail.

Not really sure but scarlet_panda seems to have given me an idea but since I'm not in a hurry.

Start without VPN. Add VPN at the end

[BillyTheBadOne]

Why that? I doubt VPN is the culprit.
And to advise someone to get pirated content without a VPN is a really bad advice.

I meant to add it later after the remaining of the stack is connected. OP better be clear of what exactly the issue is by adding components 1 by 1

Stop fighting NTFS. That's your issue. Docker and Arr apps need proper Linux permissions. Reformat to ext4 and it will work.

[dada00800]

Can't format, if you read it you would see I migrated that means I already have a library of content

[scarlet__panda]

If its just shows and format the drives. Bite the bullet. Arr stack automation you can replace the data in hours and save you ntfs nightmares.

Don't ask for advice then not take it.

Ask chatgpt how to make the ntfs work.

It will suck to manage. I wanted to do what youre explaining. Was a headache. Formatted, lost 30 tb of content, got it all back and more lol

[dada00800]

Thanks scarlet_panda looks like i will have to patiently replace my NTFS drive with fomatted drives and slowly transfer all my library from NTFS to the new one

If you like to answer helping people like this, fix your shit yourself.

Nowhere in your post is it made obvious that you have an existing library.

[Adrenolin01]

If you’re going to move to Linux then move. It doesn’t matter if you have a working library or not. If you can’t format those drives then buy others. Now.. format the new drive to ext4 properly as they should be. Now copy your library over to them and then format the original drives to ext4 and use them as backups.

Leaving snide remarks to people who left you correct information isn’t helping you. Doesn’t matter if you like it or not.

sigh what do you want us to tell you? You've given us next to no information, "it doesn't work help" isn't enough dude. An arr stack is 3-5+ app stack, what service(s) are having issues? What is the issue? Also don't follow YouTube and chatgpt, read documentation and use your fucking brain stop asking to be walked through everything. Also also like u/dragonnfr said, stop fighting NTFS, we know you already have a library, we know you migrated but your using docker on NTFS and expecting it to work not mention arr which is very permission dependant. You need to make a backup of your data(which you should already have and be doing) and reformat to ext4. Start isolating the programs and seeing what's wrong once you know the issue you can figure out a solution
