I guess it’s just the way my brain doesn’t assimilate information well, but I went at it assuming that when I was done I would have a product that would show up in Plex and allow me to use as a browser within the Plex system. Now that I’m done I realize it’s just a single device install that that results in something...
If you don’t want to go down the path of opening up overseerr to the network and having to browse to it as others are suggesting (and is the normal way to use it), you could just set it up to watch the Plex watchlists and automatically add them that way
Then in Plex, you just search the movie or show you want, add it to your watchlist, And overseer will grab it and send it to radarr or sonarr to download
I don’t recommend this method because it’s not how overseerr was designed, and you miss out on a bunch of the features, I’m just offering this as an alternative since I’m guessing you aren’t too familiar with web services on a network
My wife consumes whatever media I throw at our Plex server and I’d like to stick with it (The tv’s + set top boxes/remote controls are all easy for her to use and stream Plex fine)...
If you’re only using it for Plex and nothing else, it probably won’t make a lot of difference which you use.
My old setup was Ubuntu running Plex as an install… if you just run a server without a gui, it’s like 3 lines to install Plex
I also have a pi as a portable setup running the docker version which works pretty well but I don’t think it will handle hardware encoding very well, but I could be wrong
I am currently running most of my stuff from an unraid box using spare parts I have. It seems like I am hitting my limit on it and just want to turn it into a NAS. Micro PCs/USFF are what I am planning on moving stuff to (probably a cluster of 2 for now but might expand later.). Just a few quick questions:...
On each proxmox machine, I have a docker server in swarm mode and each of those vm all have the same NFS mounts pointing to the nas
On the Nas I have a normal docker installation which runs my databases
On the swarm I have over 60 docker containers, including the arr services, overseerr and two deluge instances
I have no issues with performance or read/write or timeouts.
As one of the other posters said, point all of your arr services to the same mount point as it makes it far easier for the automated stuff to work.
Put all the arr services into a single stack (or at least on a single network), that way you can just point them to the container name rather than IP, for example, in overseerr to tell it where sonarr is, you’d just say sonarr:8989 and it will make life much easier
As for proxmox, the biggest thing I’ll say from my experience, if you’re just starting out, make sure you set it’s IP and hostname to what you want right from the start… It’s a pain in the ass to change them later. So if you’re planning to use vlans or something, set them up first
You’re assuming that everybody that buys a tablet like this also wants/has a laptop. Many people ONLY want the tablet as a portable computer while having a more powerful desktop in their home or office
In my case I have a tablet and a laptop, but my laptop ends up staying at home 99% of the time docked and acting as a desktop. When it comes time to replace it, I’ll just get a desktop and keep the tablet
After spending the time getting overseerr to work, I'm disappointed.

I want to set up plex server, no windows.. any simple options?

Planning on setting up Proxmox and moving most services there. Some questions

Has anyone bought one of these?...
