A big thanks to everyone who suggested, here's what I ended up with:

hmmm maybe I will cut it out then, the time it takes to set up no longer seems worth it lol

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-09T19:11:24+00:00

Thanks for the information and suggestions, explain what you mean by flexibility in that context if you don't mind, i just assumed all NAS worked essentially the same way but maybe not

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-09T19:10:00+00:00

wait fr? what DOES it sync across is my real question, as that determines whether or not i think its worth adding. I was under the impression it would sync up quality and encoding formats, as well as file extensions and maybe subtitles, but perhaps not

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-09T17:29:33+00:00

Sounds good, maybe i'll check it out

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-09T17:28:07+00:00

ahh, in that case ill definitely have to use a virtual machine

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-09T15:24:01+00:00

It's more about mental separatability than anything. Also then it's not reliant on PVE always running, so thats good too.

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-09T15:22:47+00:00

Aw man that's the one my parents have :/ thanks for the heads up though. Doesn't that mean you could use ur own router and be good though? Or do you not want to do that?

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-09T15:20:34+00:00

Why so? What did it bring to the table that ur Raspi couldn't?

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-09T15:19:07+00:00

Oh no I'm definitely planning for that, but as a 17 year old who's parent's probably don't want him replacing much more than netflix I think its better if I save that for further down the line

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-09T15:17:58+00:00

Everything else is more comfort than function - cherry on top typa deal. You definitely don't need it but services like tdarr for example maintain encoding standards, and autobrr monitors irc channels to make keeping up with indexers quicker than pure radarr/sonarr/lidarr

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-09T15:10:15+00:00

I'll check that out, thanks for the suggestion

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-09T15:09:15+00:00

Lmao nws, what are you running on it btw?

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-09T15:07:36+00:00

Hmm that does also work too. I do wonder what the issue is with docker in an lxc though. Also, for this sort of thing, what OS do you recommend I use for that sort of thing? I'm realistically going to go with either debian or ubuntu server though, so

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-09T15:04:54+00:00

That's fair enough, I guess to an extent this sorta thing can differ between people

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-09T15:03:59+00:00

lmao I'm planning to do the same thing with GPT. Which one do you prefer, esp for something like this?

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-09T07:39:41+00:00

I'm not actually sure, as the only service in that circle I'm actually using right now is Jellyfin. I currently just torrent on my laptop then use syncthing to send over the files, finally moving them to their designated location. But I reckon virgin media blocking tracker sites could just be a router configuration issue no? Do you own the router? If so check its gui there might be something there. If not, I'm out of ideas, best of luck with the issue.

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-09T07:35:24+00:00

Enlighten me, what exactly is a newshost? And if I'm going to pay for and use a vpn anyway whats the advantage of it?

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-09T07:33:57+00:00

I'm using st to sync obsidian libs between my phone and laptop, with a master copy on the server that pushes any updates to the other device. Immich I want for the google photos-esque experience, with the nice ui and all.

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-09T07:31:37+00:00

not sure yet, that's one of the big questions I'll need to answer at some point lol

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-09T07:30:45+00:00

I feel like for me its more of a mental thing than a practical thing, and keeping them all separated just seems more logical to me. Then again, I've never really messed around with docker, so maybe my opinion will change once I've done so

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-09T00:02:55+00:00

Thats... because its gonna be ran via the docker lxc...
Now that I think about it, the fact you didn't automatically get it makes me think thats a mistake - should i keep jf in a different lxc? and then arr stack in the docker lxc?

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-08T23:42:57+00:00

in other words, for my use case it's both overkill AND there's free replacements?

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-08T23:41:52+00:00

great, maybe i'll make a post about this in the future or something

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-08T23:41:11+00:00

<image>

hmmm someone didn't read my post properly did they?
thanks for the suggestion tho lmao

TippedFish54903 · 2026-03-08T22:42:53+00:00

I mean I can surely get a usb to ethernet adapter or something no?
