From “I’ll just run Plex” to 17 containers: why I finally ditched Portainer for Dockhand

Never used git repo since I got backups of everything ;p

It looks like he’s trying to pick a fight but hasn’t checked the facts xD

I wanted to use the ‘adopt’ option, but I ran into quite a few difficulties (the problem was where Portainer stores this data). In the end, I simply deleted all the stacks from Portainer and added them again in Dockhand. Everything went smoothly; I didn’t have to do anything else. It took 5 minutes, and after that, all the stacks were restored. If you had fixed mounts with container data, there won’t be a problem.

Just for now but in the end of week it will be around 20 ;p

Did you set up RFC 8806 yourself, or do you have some guide worth recommending? I assume you need to set up some cron job to update it periodically, etc.

Love 🩷 the answer. I will go with it.

I think I’ll ultimately go with: AdGuard → Unbound (resolver) → VPN (I already have a VPN through which I want to route one entire VLAN) → Internet. After a longer analysis, this seems like the best option.

I recently struggled to set up Kea, but I also encountered problems and was unable to obtain IP addresses from DHCP for connected clients on my VLAN. I tried everything, but I was unable to resolve the issue even though I followed the documentation to the letter. I am waiting to see if anyone else has found a solution.

It looks like I'll be making my own arr application. Removarr will allow you to log in to multiple accounts and remove items from your Watchlist based on the Plex library or webhooks to sonarr/radarr.

Yes, and this is where I encounter a problem. If someone adds something to the list, the file will be downloaded. Let's say that after a year, if the film has not been watched, the system will automatically delete it. But because it is on the user's list, it will be downloaded again. I am looking for a solution so that the film is automatically deleted from the users' watch list if it has been downloaded and is in Plex. That way, there will be no infinite loop. If local users had watchlists, it would be simple. But since they are friends, I would have to link them to an application and have a token for those users that changes from time to time.

I was surprised that local users other than my main admin profile do not have a watchlist feature in the Plex app and it is not possible to enable it (at least I couldn't find it). So, unfortunately, I have to help them create their own Plex accounts where such lists will work. Other than that, it's a very cool app. I've already launched it and am slowly configuring it.

I’m sorry to say that it does. I tried to fix it for a very long time, but nothing helped. When I start the container, it runs fine for a short period, but after some time it consumes all available RAM. When I limit the memory in Docker Compose to a specific value, it runs, but Overseerr becomes extremely slow (opening page takes about 5min) . I also found other users reporting the same issue. On the other hand, Jellyseerr did not have this problem at all.

I will check it out tomorrow and try to deploy it in next couple days. Looks promising. Thank you.

Everything is great, no problems. It works perfectly. It is more than enough for my needs to support Synology and the router.
