Check the compatibility with Linux but I also used Ubuntu with very little problem. It works flawlessly for me. I had no experience with Linux before this and was able to set it up with some googling and Asking ChatGPT for some useful commands. It was a fun project. The *arr suite is great.

I would imagine it is as follows:

1. Come up with ideas or goal to accomplish /be given said goal

2. spend large amount of time looking at existing code or prior implementation of your stated goal.

3. attempt to write or import some code tailored to your specific needs

4. test and identify problem areas

5. find everything fails spectacularly and start over +/- tears.

6. repeat until successful or dead

Every company that owns media or copy protected information has one goal. To bleed consumers dry of as much money as possible. They lobby governments against our interests, track our data, and destroy the integrity of the product that they are selling to accomplish this.

For everything that I am interested in, I seek the best experience. I want the media I consume to be available, convenient, and unaltered. If I can pay a reasonable fee for that then I will. If not then I will seek other means. I am tired of corporations fighting to change culture and expectations to be “more profitable” rather than delivering a product that consumers actually want. I will continue to vote with my dollars (or lack there of) until this practice changes (which will likely be never).

Thanks for the suggestion! I don’t quite understand what prowlearr adds over just adding multiple indexers to Sonarr/radar?

Thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks for the suggestions. I am looking into it currently!

Count me in!

No. I didn’t see this. I’ll take a look.

I didn’t install right away. Actually, my fist attempt to install Ubuntu failed because of the same issue. I had to retry with the graphics safe install and then it worked. When rebooting, I got to the prompt that said , “remove installation hardware and press enter to continue” I did this and the screen went blank.

I restarted with the “nomodeset” edit to the boot script and set up ssh access. That’s when I tried to update the drivers. After the update there was still no video output. I suspect it’s not a driver issue but I am new to Linux and do not know how to proceed with troubleshooting.

I hadn’t considered adding serial Pi’s. That is an interesting idea. I am not sure how I would go about doing that but Ill do some research. Any good resources you would recommend?

I currently don’t require much transcoding but I imagine I will as time goes on. I would rather not have to police the filetypes for downloads as heavily. That being said, It will be an always on server so power is a consideration. I haven’t thought about how expensive it would be to run a tower server vs raspberry Pi.

I agree. Came from reddit in June. Lemmy has been a very friendly place. I just posted for advice with a typo in the title. Noone even mentioned it. No belittling advice or bickering. Just kindness and helpfulness.

Thanks for the advice. I actually got it running last night.

It is trying to create a new directory. I think it is under root but I am not sure. I will recreate the next time I am on it and post. Thanks for the help

It starts just fine. When I try to add a series to it, it shoot up an error that it cannot create the required directory. Even if I sudo the directory in manually it cannot write the files. I assume that it doesn’t have write privileges but I lack the skills to find the appropriate service and change it’s privileges.

Sonarr

This is good advice. I did try to follow the “official” install for this one. When I Google “how to install” all the instructions are different and like 5 years old so they are outdated.

I downloaded this from the graphical package manager

Thanks for the advice/encouragement. Awesome username BTW.
