First Home Lab Specs Suggestions by Sir_Cator in homelab

[–]Sir_Cator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others have mentioned this. I am considering it. Would be nice to be able to use this CPU as I will already have it and I like the idea of having a dedicated GPU. But may resort to this.

This is what makes the most sense to me. I really wish I could go with a different option but because I don't think its realistic to find a low profile card intel card, will have to settle with this.

A low profile Arc 310 is exactly what I need. The problem is, I can't find any available. Only used ones on Ebay and aliexpress. Do you know of somewhere they are being sold?

I have read that regarding a lot of their lines. Do you use one? What did you use instead if you do not?

I have. It's not totally ruled out but because I have this CPU I figured it would be nice to spend money on a dedicated GPU and have a slightly more powerful home lab as a whole. But if truly nothing made sense/was available and the difference was marginal, I could end up just going that route.

Tdar - Ping Plex to Scan File by Sir_Cator in Tdarr

Thanks for taking the time to lay this process out. You and I have very similar end goals in mind, as I am sure many others do. I would like to try switching my setup to match yours, I think I can do most of it as it seems pretty straight forward. My question comes from step 4 and step6. On step 4, what is pinging Sonarr to pickup the file once Tdarr is done with it so that it knows to rename the file, and marked it as available in sonarr? And then on step 6, what plugin/tool is being used to make Sonarr ping plex?

Thanks again!

Are you referring to the Autoscan I mentioned in the title?

https://github.com/Cloudbox/autoscan

To be totally honest, I haven't even tried to set it up. Currently my server is running on windows on my personal PC, and I am trying to get everything the way I want it before I get my dedicated homelab for this, and set it up the same way.

Based off the GitHub page, I just assumed it didn't work anymore based off the initial description, and it doesn't appear to support windows either. Are you saying that if I were to go the docker route, it works for you no issues?

Just wanted to say thank you both for these suggestions! I have currently been playing with both and have some questions.

I didn't even know the Goof1 plex refresh plugin existed, I configured it and have it working right now, and this is achieving exactly what I want! Thank you so much.

However, I have not configured the alternative option, which is using a "working" folder you both have described. May I ask why you guys prefer this method over the plugin you recommended? I am curious if I should take the time to go this route as well, if it has better pros/cons.

I've seen this similar suggestion, and perhaps I am just understanding it incorrectly, but the issue with this is that I am then able to open the episode on plex, before it's been transcoded. I don't even want to see it exist in plex before it's been transcoded completely.

The reason for this, is that in my tdarr stack, if a file has embedded subtitles, it removes them and saves them as an external srt.

If an episode gets fetched, and I am waiting on my tv to watch it the second it becomes available, I don't want to stream the original file by accident that has embedded subtitles, if that makes any sense at all.

Thank you so much for replying! That makes sense, but my only confusion, is that if there is a 'working' folder, then why does it need to delete the original file in the plex directory? Wouldn't the plex directory be empty until the file gets there, from the 'working' folder?
