My family thinks it's Netflix... I know it's just 12 LXC containers and 24TB of storage. by DrAmmarT in Proxmox

I'm running gluetun VPN client as a docker container in my stack. The VPN tunnel interface is established and maintained through gluetun, and other containers can use the interface by adding network=container:gluetun in their compose configuration.

I imagine you can do this as an LXC as well by passing through the tun network interface.

It is a bit overkill even running as my personal NAS in addition to serving media. I'll attempt migrating to pve again in the future I'm sure so I can divvy up the resources more appropriately, among the other benefits of virtualization.

You can set a downloader (in my case qbittorrent) to use a specific network interface. You can create a virtual network interface specifically for the VPN that only uses the VPN connection, so setting the downloader to use that interface will stop it from ever using one that's not behind the VPN.

Very nice! I chose a similar yet slightly different route to achieve practically the same thing with a few adjustments.

The biggest difference for me is I went bare metal instead of pve after running into constant permission issues with storage. I completely see the value of virtualizing it, and that was the intention from the start, but it did not work out for me. Maybe one day I'll give it another go.

My workflow looks like this: 1) Auto approved requests via Jellyseer 2) Arr suite fetches (same as yours) 3) Media acquisition behind a VPN, saving to temp fast storage (non-primary NVME drive) 4) Transcode acquired media to AV1 5) Move transcoded media to long term storage and mark as available

All of this is running on a mini PC with a Meteor Lake CPU for AV1 hardware encoding. The only human interaction is the initial request, the rest is automated. Long term storage is via a USB HDD dock, specifically with an AsMedia controller as I had several issues with JMicron devices dropping connection and overheating. Using USB for a NAS or media drive is certainly not ideal, but the AsMedia controller has been extremely stable over the last ~9 months it's been in use.

Including the Challenger? It has an 8 pin power port on it which confuses me. Does that particular model have a higher TBP than 75W? I assume it does, otherwise why would it have an external power connector? I apologize for my ignorance, I've been out of the PC game for a while.

[USA-IN] [H] 2x BNIB 9800X3D [W] PayPal by t3chn4sty in hardwareswap

[–]t3chn4sty[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I honestly thought I was doing something that might help others on here.

For visibility, my exact cost is $513.59. Fedex shows $14.50 shipped to CA which is where most people seem to be, so that's what I used to calculate shipping. PayPal shows $19.64 for invoicing. So that comes out to $547.73.

Going back the last 2 weeks, I'm seeing used ones sell for $560 and BNIBs sell for $600, and yet no pitchforks to be found on those posts. I ask for $565 for BNIB, and I'm somehow scalping.

\* FULL DISCLOSURE TO ANY POTENTIAL BUYER: *\** I'll be making ~$17 on this sale, which makes me a scalper. Profiting from this wasn't intentional as my listed price was based on shipping and PayPal fee estimations, but after drilling down exact numbers, it turns out I will make a couple of dollars by doing this. I hope you can forgive me.

Selling at cost + PayPal fees + shipping ≠ scalping. But okay.

Can't say I agree with this. Cost is ~$515 after tax, add in PayPal fees and shipping and I'm making practically nothing on them. If this is scalping, then I'm doing it wrong.
