You really do have to pay close attention to what AI is doing when you let it modify your stack. I was getting it to style Glance widgets and it decided that it would be a lot easier to get the APIs from my ARR stack if it moved them all off of gluetun, and it took me a full day to notice…. 🤦‍♂️

Ok the verdict is: this is a good set of bones for what could become amazing. Jellyfin playback combined with Sonarr and Radarr requesting, a Jellyseerr like media search, and live tv over IPTV from any country in the world?!!! It’s at the very least a proof of concept for what apps like Infuse should work towards in terms of features. But it’s ugly as sin, to the point of being almost unusable. I’ll come back to it after a few necessary updates.

Jellyfin app for AppleTV with support for media requests from the ARR stack 👀 Haven’t tested yet but will report back once I do! https://github.com/ghobs91/mediora

Pretty happy with this selection of apps. For those who are curious, here's what I'm running currently Server Stuff ↳ Dockhand: the best docker web app I've used yet. Easy to understand, full featured, and lightweight. ↳ Copyparty: a retro-themed but very powerful server file browser. It can play back almost any file type, compress files/folders for download, and offers multi-user support with varying permissions ↳ Glance: the dashboard shown in the image below. Coded in YAML with a bunch of community support and documentation, making assisted customization very easy. The ARR Stack ↳ Gluetun: forces containers to run external traffic through VPN always ↳ qBittorrent: downloader of things ↳ Sonarr (shows), Radarr (movies), Bookshelf (books/audiobooks), Lidarr (music): automated media downloaders ↳ Prowlarr: manages the torrent indexers that connect to the other ARR apps ↳ Flaresolverr: prevents cloudflare from blocking ARR apps access to torrent sites ↳ Bitmagnet: my own private torrent indexer. It crawls a decentalized hash table of all publicly broadcast torrents ↳ Huntarr: I just added this. It monitors your requests and library to determine which items are still missing, looks for them, and forces them into your ARR processes. ↳ Cleanuparr: Also new. It monitors your downloads and kills stalled downloads as well as maintains your seed ratio and cleans up unnecessary uploads. ↳ Bazarr: automatically finds subtitles for your media and adds it to the folder. ↳ Jellyseer: the beautiful front-end for requesting TV and Movies from Sonarr and Radarr. I mostly access Jellyseer via an app called Pocket for Jellyseer on iPhone, making requests dead simple ↳ Nicotine+: A client for the Soulseek P2P network. Great for sharing music with other music lovers. And of course, Jellyfin: the open source Plex alternative that now hosts all my movies, tv, music, and audiobooks. I can stream this content to my phone, computer, and AppleTV via web browsers or any number of apps. I've listed my favourites in other threads.

Pretty proud of this Glance dashboard I vibe coded up over the past couple days. What a versatile and awesome platform. Much less finicky and resource intensive than Homarr, and I love how it looks. When I open Brave now, I'm automatically taken to the "Startpage" where I can see if my docker containers are running, if my VPN is configured, and if my indexers are pulling torrents—like these Linux ISOs and public domain goodies. That's not all, still on the Startpage, I have the date, local weather (with hourly forecast), and air quality reading. Then on the second page, I've got relevant youtube channels and subreddits plus links to all the documentation and github's for everything I use.

I can not recommend enough, that you run your music files through MusicBrainz Picard (https://picard.musicbrainz.org/) It will make your Jellyfin, Plex, or other listening experience far better. You can even boost/normalize volume with the ReplayGain plugin. But most importantly, this will ensure you have all the right genre tags, images, artist IDs, and your app can pick up the correct lyrics files.

Updates: 🐳 I’ve switched from Portainer to Dockhand. So far, I massively prefer this interface. 👀 I’ve switched to testing Glance as Homarr seemed to crash my system (still unsure of the cause; Postgres error maybe?) 🧲 My BitMagnet instance has over 1.5M indexed public torrents, and I’ve added a private tracker, for which I paid for access using ETH 💪 🦡 Speaking of paying with crypto, I got a year of Mullvad with XMR. I intended to run my arr stack through it, but it doesn’t support port forwarding (I had no idea!), so now I’m back on ProtonVPN. I think I will use Mullvad for my personal VPN and keep Proton for backend/WireGuard. Thoughts? Advice?

Helmarr is a pretty impressive app. It’s paid, but the way it brings together all your arr apps in one super polished interface is really cool. Not sure it’s worth choosing over Pocket (for Jellyseerr) + qRemote (for qBittorrent web), both of which are free, but it does a lot more in a lot prettier way. https://helmarr.com/

Updates to my setup: 🧲 BitMagnet is now configured, running, and added as an indexer to Prowlarr (which in turn feeds Sonarr, Radarr, etc.) 🚬 Nicotine+ is up and running, and I’m finally able to use the Soulseek network—which is incredible for music. 🦞 Homarr is installed, and I’m getting it configured how I want it. Basically, it will be a landing page so I don’t need to rely so much on my bookmarks to get to my apps. Plus, the widgets are cool.

I now have four fantastic music apps that can all access my Jellyfin music server. Each one is full-featured enough to use on its own. I just like to test them and provide feedback to the developers, as well as consider which to recommend to others. Here are my favorites: 1️⃣ Finer (best overall UX, but with an ugly app icon) 2️⃣ Manet (development is a bit slow, but overall very polished. The first one I fell in love with) 3️⃣ Jellify (rapid development pace, open source, extremely speedy interface. But it’s Android material design, which I find clashes with iOS UX) 4️⃣ Discrete (the UX is fantastic, it’s super polished, but it won’t ignore my audiobooks, which pisses me off. Once fixed, it may become my #1)

Would love to know your thoughts 💭 1. Bookmarking: Karakeep vs linkwarden vs ??? 2. Is Tandoor a good recipe manager? 3. Homarr or another dashboard?

Has anyone here successfully integrated BitMagnet into their arr stack? Seems pretty awesome but I’m struggling to get it set up.

The fact that I can open VS Code, SSH into my home server, then type to an LLM and have it tweak my docker compose file and run terminal commands for me is kind of mind blowing. Troubleshooting and expanding my feature set is so fast and easy.
