Perfect thank you.

How do you monitor the washing machine and drier?

I use an Intel NUC with a recent(ish) Intel CPU that’s good for transcoding and not bad on power. Then a 4 bay DAS. You can either get something with hardware RAID or without and do it in software. I run Debian but another OS might be better for you.

Debian Bookworm

Yeah that makes sense. That’s helpful thank you. I finally got it working pretty simply last night. Thanks for the help!

Thanks, I tried this but same sitch

I wonder if I need to use a proper compose instead of the Portainer stacks function, so they’re all on the same network withing docker.

I tried flaresolver but still no connecty unfortunately.

Omg I was doing DNS wrong in the compose. Totally works now, thank you!

Edit oh no, I thought I’d cracked it but still unable to connect.

Sorry don’t quite follow. Are the arrs behind VPN on your setup? If I use Gluetun for Prowlarr then I can connect fine to the public trackers, but the information doesn’t pass to Sonarr etc. Which makes sense to me, but I don’t know how to work around it.

Edit: I’ve tried all of the alt URLs and still nada also unless it’s behind VPN.

The trash guides say to avoid putting the arrs through VPN so I only put the torrent client through. Is that what you do?

I did try a custom DNS in the Prowlarr compose stack in Portainer but it didn’t help unfortunately. Do you do it a different way?

Thank you, I’ll have a look. I think I should be able to use the http proxy with my mullvad but I’m just struggling to find information I can follow. I’ll check flaresolver in the meantime.

Thank you. I’m going to start with the nuc, get some stuff running then get the storage down the line.

Thank you. I’ve seen a decent deal (£150) on an 8th gen i7 but only 8 gigs ram and a 256gig SSD. Thinking it might be a good option

Great point thank you

Worth thinking about for sure, thanks.

Ooo that is cheap! What gen proc do you use in yours?

This is great, thanks. And thanks for the offer! Loads of helpful people here. I read it’s better to go to at least 8th gen intel for efficiency etc but I guess I’ll cost things up and see what fits.
