My server Flow Comics/Games/Movies/Shows

Before I forget here’s the server flow for my 64tb sever. Supports Anime and all the works, never could get manga working with torrent/usenet well enough on ubuntu though.

A short list:

  • Anime/Tv/Movies
  • Switch games management (kinda)
  • Cross Seed
  • Unpackerr
  • Radarr + Sonarr Queue Cleanup
  • Trakt Sync
  • Trakt List to add sonarr item (bad practice but whatever)
  • Comics (weekly bundles are OP)
  • My shitty cronjobs

Make suggestions on improvements, I probably won’t be using this settup on my next server, but similar.

For adding content I used Ombi and the plex watchlist sync feature for those that were leeching on my plex, worked well enough. For better management I used the LunaSea app (great fucking app, go get it now, it’s free)

I didn’t do music bc I have tidal with plex and that’s more then fine, lidarr sucked too much for the artists I like and attempts at streamrip automation failed all the time.

Cronjob abuse is my friend

Forgot to mention this also supports auto-uploading content (with filters) on a cronjob

BitterSweet,

Good for computers and phones. Not for consoles, which I use my ps5 for all my home media.

coffelov,

Have you tried Tachidesk-server? It’s a fork of the tachiyomi app but as a self hostable, you can try downloading your mangas from there

gazter,

Looking at that, I reckon it’s easier just to pay for all the streaming services.

lud,

What’s the fun in that though?

BitterSweet,

I also make my own anime remuxes and enjoy Over The Garden Wall which is now “Lost Media”

I would really like to automate my workflow and organize my library, but I like to seed things forever. How do you automatically retrieve metadata to reorganize folders and filenames, while still being able to seed? Is creating a second copy of the files the only way, or is there something I’m missing?

Revanee,

Basically yes. You use *arr to find releases and make a copy with proper naming and metadata when a download finishes. On its own, that would not be great as you would double the size of everything. Except you use hard links. Those are kind of like shortcuts, but both the shortcut and original are the same thing. Both point to the same data on disk. In fact, they’re indistinguishable from each other. If you delete one, the data remains as there is another link pointing to it. If you delete both, the data gets deleted. Basically they are free copies. You just have to make sure your file system supports them

coolie4, (edited )

I’ve started reading the guide on the subject. So now my problem is that I have different zfs datasets separating my library, and I suspect hardlinks won’t work across them. So I’ll have to rethink how I organize my filesystem.

Revanee,

Yep, hard links only work within the same filesystem. You can have multiple drives in raid that form a single partition and use hard links within the array.

BitterSweet,

Couldn’t have said it much better myself. I think of hardlinks like backend and front end development offices.

The backend team has the data that frontend teams 1 & 2 use, but frontend team 3 isn’t in the same office (filesystem) as the backend team so they can’t access the data.

If frontend team 2 goes down, frontend team 1 still has access to the backend’s data

Writing new data: teams 1 and 2 go down then fuckit we can bulldoze backend and make a new backend for any new frontend teams.

BitterSweet,

Okay I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, I had this settup and now I recommend it often to my less techy friends.

This is a perfectly fine settup and works pretty well, depends on your content sourcing for the most part in my experience is all.

theUnlikely,

I think the downvotes might be because it feels like they’re trying to diminish the work you put into your setup.

Driveway4964,

Agreed! I implemented a less complex version of the diagram you posted, and it yields higher quality results than Stremio for someone viewing it on a computer. However, when friends need a Netflix replacement, they need something that’s “plug-n-play”

vildis,

I really need to start downloading manga as well. I find it to be the most ephemeral type of content with all the takedowns, groups stopping scanlations or frequent site issues

MonkderZweite,

I’m gonna steal that.

kureta,

How do you make flow charts like this in obsidian?

Mister_Bennet,

That is Canvas

kaotic,

obsidian.md/canvas

Bakkoda,

If you dislike Ombi try Overseerr. Completely different user experience, watchlist sync for users. It’s actually decent to use to discover stuff.

BitterSweet,

I did try both actually, I just didn’t enjoy adding another service for people to use, it was too difficult convincing them to use another site and/or app. I just settled for the plex sync that way people don’t even have to touch ombi at all. Everything they need for media is contained in plex.

I admit though I bet for others ombi and overseerr are great, as they are great projects, just wasn’t a fit for me sadly :/

  1. this is sick
  2. i love that you’re using obsidian. such a great tool, i just wish the gui was open sourced.

Have you heard of Logseq? It’s a FOSS Obsidian alternative.

Khrounose,

Is it really an alternative? When I tried it, sure some things were “similiar” but felt to me they excelled at different things.

Love logseq (and have it forked, or at least i did for awhile)… I’m just a bit put off by the “infinite bullet point” list style notes, since i like to free form a bit. But it’s probably time for me to check it out again :) thanks for the reminder!

BitterSweet,

Haha thanks, Obsidian has been my study friend for a while and what I write all my modding guides in. Seeing how much people liked this post, I plan to post my full guides now too onto here :3

quicksand,

This is awesome! I’m saving it for when I have some free time (aka probably never)

MigratingtoLemmy,

Kavita is supposed to be the self-hosted automated manga downloader, unfortunately, their website seems to be down.

I believe FMD2 running in an OCI-compatible container with WINE underneath and Guacamole to present the app’s GUI should be a decent alternative, since I heard that FMD2 can auto-download new manga chapters/releases

jecht360,
@jecht360@lemmy.world avatar

I run Kavita on my TrueNAS Scale setup. I can’t really recommend it, but there’s not a lot of similar manga/comic self hosting servers out there.

It doesn’t have a feature to auto download manga though. It also won’t organize manga based on folder structure - it only goes by file name, which annoys me to no end since I have my library organized for use with Tachiyomi on my phone/tablet.

MigratingtoLemmy,

What do you use for automated manga downloads? I’ll probably have to stick with FMD2, but development seems to be a bit slow

jecht360,
@jecht360@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t really have any automated manga download processes. I use Neko on my phone and tablet to download new chapters from Mangadex automatically. My manga library in Kavita is all completed series that I grab via torrents.

DLSantini,

I haven’t touched or looked at anything manga-related in a while, but when I was looking at manga hosting solutions, I settled on Mango. If I remember correctly, I chose it specifically because it organizes based on the file/folder structure, including nested folders. So I can manually name and organize the files(my preference, as I never like the way any automated system does it), drop said files into the library folder, run a scan in Mango, and I’m good. Also has 3rd party plugins for downloads(a lot of which are hentai-related though, if I recall).

On the other hand, I just login to TL once or twice a week and see what’s new lol

BitterSweet,

Same, but I was on the grind for a BHD invite and by time I got it, my trackers list was 10+ and found having automation better then manually upkeeping on everything.

aldalire,

Ima nut to this rq

BitterSweet,

NOOO NNN IS ALMOST OVER STAY STRONG

theUnlikely,

Under Autobrr, what do you mean by “Grabs all torrents from my username”?

averyminya,

I’m guessing it grabs from private tracker

theUnlikely,

So they grab their own uploads via autobrr? To what end?

BitterSweet, (edited )

I auto-upload to trackers that allow it. Instead of having the torrent already in qBit, I have autobrr send it to qbit with a special filter that checks for my username on the trackers I upload to.

I do this because If I grab the torrent at the same time as all the leechers then there’s no delay for the leechers to start downloading meaning they don’t have to re-poll the tracker as much to find me (the seeder)

This also works better for if you’re not a pre-approved uploader (someone who doesn’t need moderator approval to upload). That way once your torrent is approved I can start seeding right away.

theUnlikely,

Ah I see now! I wouldn’t have thought to use it this way, but that makes a lot of sense.
