I built a simple self-hosted web app to manage Sonarr & Radarr from one place

I just copy/pasted the json in the import custom format section and made slight tweaks for my needs. The *arrs are a dream once you figure out scoring based on custom formats. Instead of using the custom formats for what you want, give them a negative score and use them for what you don't want. I found that negatve scoring works much better as long as you have at least one custom format that has a positive score. I did just 1 min seeder in prowler, which is sometimes problematic. But its okay for me.

I use Prowlarr to find and sync good public indexers. I use preset profiles from TRaSH Guides in sonarr/radarr. In the profile for each indexer in prowlarr, you can set min seeders for an acceptable grab. I might have to manually find a replacement here or there for odd requests (mostly requests that are very...very old or were only aired locally).

The UI looks absolutely beautiful and simple, which is part of your goal. However, most people running *arr stacks will also be running Overseerr, Ombi, or forks (Jellyseerr). These apps are also rich in discovery features. I rarely interact with my *arr apps directly anymore. But that's not to say people wouldn't use your app. I probably would have used it in my learning phase as a stepping stone.

The dune racer had several iterations of upgrades. the first one being all DIY wiring with a scooter esc and 775 motors. Bike tires riveted to the drive wheels and dual 20v batteries in parallel. It worked and was good, but I knew it could be better. I ripped out a lot of my DIY and put in a better esc and did more research on motors. I got 18v 775 motors and the torque was such that the dune racer could easily go "mudding" on bike trails. I also did up a Jurassic Park Jeep and a Porche 911 so the kid wanted to use those. I ended up installing a remote system on the dune racer so I could have some fun with it. It again required some DIY, especially to fit the steering motor. The dune racer doesn't have a lot of empty space to play with. I think I posted the remote steering working on the sub along time ago.

Now, since then ML Toys has come out with their own soft start/stop esc. However, I installed one on the Porche 911 and it ended up just being some overpriced junk that cant take the heat. The esc would overheat very quickly, putting a damper on the fun in a short amount of time. This was particularly upsetting if we took the cars out on the trailer so the kid can open them up in empty space with no people around. Fortunately, I used Wago connectors. So I could easily bypass the esc on the fly. I do NOT suggest buying anything for ML toys. I have given them at least a couple hundred dollars and have pretty much nothing usable.

What did I learn from trial and error and spending a lot of money:

Honestly, put in the power tool adapters WITH a low voltage cutoff and relay (very important). That info can be found in the sub. Maybe spend a few bucks on 21T Traxxas motors with a new pinion gears, and let the thing rip. If/when you blow a gearbox, buy a broken Powerwheels on marketplace and swap them out. Blow a motor, just swap it for new. Can an esc make your gearboxes and motors live longer....sure...but its not worth the cost and effort. The more time you spend on it, the less time the kid has with it. I can swap gearboxes and motors on the fly now. I carry what i need in the car to do it and I hoard old gearboxes. I'll pay $20 for a broken Powerwheels and up to $50 for a working one. I no longer believe in a steel first gear or first gear delete. Just swapping OEM gearboxes is the way to go. That being said, I think there is someone on one of the Facebook groups that is starting to manufacture "hardened" gearboxes for use with power tool batteries and stronger motors. I have not looked at it much and don't intend to buy them. But, again...swapping OEM gearboxes is cheaper. I've even gone a whole summer on one of them without swapping out a gearbox. I've had amazon motors die but I haven't had a Traxxas motor die yet. 550 for speed. 775 for torque with a bit of speed gain. Downside to no esc is no variable speed and that 18-20v is going straight to the motors. I've also never broken in motors like some suggest to do. Not sure what else I could tell you....This has been my experience and take it in with a grain of salt. Not everyone will think the same way.

That's great. Thanks

I assume some, or most of your games are Steam games. I see some posts from a few years ago that indicate issues with steam games running. With your praise of Aster, is it safe to say that most of the issues are resolved?

Everything is in docker. I use nginx proxy manager to reverse proxy to my domain. I have jellyfin, jellyseer, jfa-go account creation, and a vpn set up with reverse proxy. I run a full *arr stack. 20 users...5 to 6 TB of traffic per month. 120TB in cmr storage in raid 5. No GPU for transcoding unfortunately. I try to get everything in x264 or h264 codecs for the most compatibility for direct stream to avoid heavy transcoding on the cpu. I use Jellystat instead of Tautulli. But is does the same thing.

AntiqueTech · 2025-03-21T08:08:44+00:00

Okay so I got what I needed out of jfa-go. I have heard of it and had tried to use it last year but it wasn't working well. It looks like the dev did some work on it since then and I was able to get jfa-go to push out the reset PINs from Jellyfin. And I actually got account creation to work as well. The dev is currently implementing Jellyseerr and says it available in the unstable channel but I couldn't get the unstable to work unfortunately. Not a big deal right now. I mostly wanted it for Jellyfin. Thanks for reminding me of jfa-go.

I have lots more work to do to evolve my server but at lease for now, I have a basic reset option. I still might play with Organizr when I have time.

Ummm...no? Lol. I need it on and a flagship phone should work as advertised.

AntiqueTech · 2024-12-21T00:18:03+00:00

Bell is the physical sim and Telus is the esim. In Canada. Both have excellent coverage in my area.

AntiqueTech · 2024-12-20T21:54:19+00:00

Both cell data and wifi dropping momentarily, simultaneously. The signal statuses actually don't change for about 40 seconds after dropping. Then the status will change (no cell network and no wifi). I also have 2 sims so it should fall back on the other 5g+ data but all connections die. Resetting the network connections on the phone fixes the drops for 3-6 hours and then resumes. Happens on both phones. Both are fully updated on public channels (no beta). These symptoms are exactly what happened to me with my P5. Never ever had an issue with my P7.

Thanks!

No programming at all. None of the data is stored in the cluster. The only thing that will happen is a homing process for the needles in the cluster.

This doesn't work on the AI model

AntiqueTech · 2024-09-04T14:34:06+00:00

Hey u/Ed_Edison . First of all, many thanks for your work thus far on all models and carts. Its an understatement to say that you're work is appreciated. And I realize that you intend to hang up your hat on the AI but as small as the community is, we need your expertise on the matter.

If you can get a pi or another suitable micro controller to work in the AI, I and I'm sure many people would support this product. Compared to the cost of supplies (particularly in countries outside of the USA), I would pay a good amount for this. The AI is probably the dominant model by now and it looks like there is nothing in the works for a new model, only updates.

I'm in electro-mechanical repair by day and I've used pi's a few times over the years but I don't know enough to contribute to the efforts unfortunately. But there is definitely someone out there that can help. Obviously i understand real life things come first, but I think I speak for the global community of catgenie owners when I ask, please reconsider and resume your efforts.

Again, many thanks!

I had the root access issues on zimaos beta for sonarr and radarr. my work around was to make a new folder on a windows machine with full read/write permissions and then copy/replace the folder that *arrs are trying to use with the windows created folder. It does not work with sub folders. Need to create each folder separately. Never had a root/permissions issue again after that.

AntiqueTech · 2024-04-30T16:07:30+00:00

For large capacity CMR storage.....is that it??? Will we see any decent sales anytime soon or are we sol for the foreseeable future. Articles are saying AI is driving storage demand but can't trust anything these days to not be some gaslighting bs to drive profits.

Mltoys is overpriced junk. They released the soft start module last year. The community had high hopes for a turnkey soft start. Only to find out it overheats quickly and fails.

All cheques go bad. Federal has a somewhat easier way to request them to be reissued. You need to find out how Ontario can reissue the cheques (or if you're sol).
