this is my current plan, but I’ve yet to selfhost for longer than a month or two previously. what do y’all think of my choices?

Proxmox HV running TrueNAS+Debian Stable Server

Prowlarr: Indexer manager Sonarr: TV show management automation Radarr: Movie management automation LazyLibrarian: Book management automation Lidarr: Music management automation Homarr: Dashboard for managing applications Seerr: Media request management system Jellyfin: Media server qBittorrent: Torrent client NZBGet: Usenet downloader WireGuard: VPN software Surfshark: VPN service Portainer: Docker container management UI Watchtower: Automated Docker container updates Immich: Photo gallery & backup Mealie: Meal planner Moonlight: Low latency remote gaming (retro game emulator focused) Kavita: Ereader for books, manga, audiobooks, most formats Funkwhale: Music streaming

open to suggestions, but wanted to see if the community would perceive this as a reasonably interlocked software system or if i need to be using other software.

incredibly new and lowkey uninformed by trying my best to learn. plz be nice lol

    Markdown tip, when making a list end the line in a double space so it formats correctly.

    If you’re big into music, you should add slskd to your stack. Its not automated but you can find anything on it. It uses Soulseek servers and is p2p like old Napster, etc.

    For usenet, I like SabNZBD better than NZBGet, just my opinion but maybe check it out.

      Do you have a good alternative to recommend? I also found that lidarr sorta sucks compared to sonarr and radarr

        I haven’t found one yet. My workflow is to use nicotine+ to find flac music, convert to 256bit opus, properly tag with Picard, rsync with my Navidrome library and trigger a scan. It’s clean for me and lots of it is scripted, but that wouldn’t work for everyone.

        Radarr and Sonarr work because the workflow of show -> season -> S01E01.Title.extension (even simpler for movies) is well known and accepted as more or less a standard for organizing video media.

        Music, on the other hand, is very individual. Some like strict folder organization, others are particular about naming conventions, others are picky about tags, there is no standard for handling playlists, off-beat, rare, or bootleg music is enjoyed by some, some like compilation albums, etc.

        If you look at the complaints for lidarr, most of the issues stem from folks not fitting lidarr into their workflow, which is totally valid, but not something the Lidarr devs could do anything about.

        Ultimately, Lidarr failed because metadata fetching became onerous to maintain.

          Ahhh that makes sense! I think I’ll just search for some of the other music alternatives mentioned in this thread

    Additional stuff you may be interested in:

    Caddy for reverse proxy (accessing your services with a nice URL instead of IP address and port numbers)

    PiHole for DNS-level ad-blocking and other useful router functionality

    Look for a backup solutions for your config files, maybe you can handle this at Proxmox level but I don’t have experience with that.

      I’ll def get pihole! Meant to write it down but forgot. Caddy seems super helpful too

      For backing up config files, would GitHub be fine? Ik microslop bought it (boooo! tomato!) but is there another foss alternative I should use instead?

        Be careful before uploading your config files to a public location like GitHub, you don’t want to inadvertently publish some secrets like passwords, API keys and such. A copy to an external drive should do the trick just fine as a starting point.

          Sweet, I’ll throw it on a flash drive for the time being, then eventually also get it on my NAS after it’s all set up
