Sonarr icon randomly drops out at an inopportune moment. Maybe it’s shy.

    If someone wanted to dip their tires in the water of the *-arr stack, what would be some good first steps? Just to get started?

    (Not asking for me, of course! Asking for my neighbor’s first cousin’s friend. He has been experimenting with dumping his DVDs and CDs to a hard drive.)

      My friend has a VPN and runs them on his desktop Mac. He’s considering running on an old laptop or some other dedicated device

      • VPN is a must.
      • qbittorrent bound to the VPNs virtual network device.
      • Prowlarr is enough to get started. Add some public trackers.

      Then, Sonarr and Radarr for show and movie automation. Once you’re hooked, you’ll figure out the rest.

        That Trash guide is super helpful for my cousin’s neighbor’s dog-groomer’s friend!

        Thanks!

        Thats fine for an easy simple install where the work is done for you but it doesnt fully help understand how it all works. Its better to learn from scratch to understand structure and how each container interacts with each other, directories, etc

          They said to just get stared. I still get to completely design my entire docker.yml file to my liking but just sets up a skeleton that works for some but you can adjust it. Using yams from the start was great because I adjusted my containers many times and could restart all my containers at once. They still all run as docker and work the exact same as docker, it’s just a nice setup and restart tool.
