Before I forget here's the server flow for my 64tb sever. Supports Anime and all the works, never could get manga working with torrent/usenet well enough on ubuntu though.

A short list:

  • Anime/Tv/Movies
  • Switch games management (kinda)
  • Cross Seed
  • Unpackerr
  • Radarr + Sonarr Queue Cleanup
  • Trakt Sync
  • Trakt List to add sonarr item (bad practice but whatever)
  • Comics (weekly bundles are OP)
  • My shitty cronjobs

Make suggestions on improvements, I probably won't be using this settup on my next server, but similar.

For adding content I used Ombi and the plex watchlist sync feature for those that were leeching on my plex, worked well enough. For better management I used the LunaSea app (great fucking app, go get it now, it's free)

I didn't do music bc I have tidal with plex and that's more then fine, lidarr sucked too much for the artists I like and attempts at streamrip automation failed all the time.

Cronjob abuse is my friend

Forgot to mention this also supports auto-uploading content (with filters) on a cronjob

  1. this is sick
  2. i love that you're using obsidian. such a great tool, i just wish the gui was open sourced.
[–] BitterSweet@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 11 months ago

Haha thanks, Obsidian has been my study friend for a while and what I write all my modding guides in. Seeing how much people liked this post, I plan to post my full guides now too onto here :3

[–] glowie@infosec.pub 22 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Is Obsidian the tool used to create the flow chart?

[–] navigatron@beehaw.org 3 points 11 months ago

Yes - the nodes are obsidian pages (markdown files), this view is a napkin-type layout thing that is built in; I haven’t played much with it

[–] kureta@lemmy.ml 15 points 11 months ago (2 children)

How do you make flow charts like this in obsidian?

[–] aldalire@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ima nut to this rq

[–] BitterSweet@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago

NOOO NNN IS ALMOST OVER STAY STRONG

[–] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is just gold. The comics and switch games I'm going to study. Thanks!

One question, do comics include manga too?

[–] BitterSweet@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 11 months ago

No, someone on MaM does comic weekly packs. There's no reliable groups posting manga like how Empire does, so there's no good way todo manga.

[–] Estebiu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Meanwhile in using qbittorrent's own RSS engine and play the videos through mpv on the samba share. Yeaaah. Can I ask you where do you find the weekly manga?

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 11 months ago (2 children)

If you arent married to your at home stuff and have an android, take a look at tachiyomi :)

[–] AnExerciseInFalling@programming.dev 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You can even hook up tachiyomi to your home stuff through something like komga as another source

I do use tachiyomi! Well, I did until 2/3 days ago when I found out kotatsu! Basically all the good bits from tachiyomi plus sync between devices, and that's of great importance for me as I read both on my phone and tablet

[–] BitterSweet@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No weekly manga anywhere. The closes I got was monitoring AnimeBytes for manga updates via Autobrr. Since AnimeBytes only keeps the most complete pack of each manga. So when a new chapter/volume is released the old torrent gets deleted and new one is made. So that keeps things easy for adding content… but not removing content to avoid duplicate volumes.

If you find a solution lmk :/

[–] UberMentch@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

The best I've found is Free Manga Downloader 2 (https://github.com/dazedcat19/FMD2). It's not perfect, I have some gripes, but I have FMD2, mylar3, komga, and Tachiyomi (on my mobile devices) with the kogma extension for all my comic stuff. Works well enough for me

[–] vildis@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I use kenmei.co for manga tracking. Supports a bunch of sites but not all of them and depending on the site the updates can be quite delayed.

There's HakuNeko.

[–] gazter@aussie.zone 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Looking at that, I reckon it's easier just to pay for all the streaming services.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

What's the fun in that though?

[–] BitterSweet@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago

I also make my own anime remuxes and enjoy Over The Garden Wall which is now “Lost Media”

[–] vildis@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 11 months ago

I really need to start downloading manga as well. I find it to be the most ephemeral type of content with all the takedowns, groups stopping scanlations or frequent site issues

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If you dislike Ombi try Overseerr. Completely different user experience, watchlist sync for users. It's actually decent to use to discover stuff.

I would really like to automate my workflow and organize my library, but I like to seed things forever. How do you automatically retrieve metadata to reorganize folders and filenames, while still being able to seed? Is creating a second copy of the files the only way, or is there something I'm missing?

[–] Revanee@lemmy.one 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Basically yes. You use *arr to find releases and make a copy with proper naming and metadata when a download finishes. On its own, that would not be great as you would double the size of everything. Except you use hard links. Those are kind of like shortcuts, but both the shortcut and original are the same thing. Both point to the same data on disk. In fact, they're indistinguishable from each other. If you delete one, the data remains as there is another link pointing to it. If you delete both, the data gets deleted. Basically they are free copies. You just have to make sure your file system supports them

[–] coolie4@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I've started reading the guide on the subject. So now my problem is that I have different zfs datasets separating my library, and I suspect hardlinks won't work across them. So I'll have to rethink how I organize my filesystem.

[–] Revanee@lemmy.one 1 points 11 months ago

Yep, hard links only work within the same filesystem. You can have multiple drives in raid that form a single partition and use hard links within the array.

[–] BitterSweet@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 11 months ago

Couldn't have said it much better myself. I think of hardlinks like backend and front end development offices.

The backend team has the data that frontend teams 1 & 2 use, but frontend team 3 isn't in the same office (filesystem) as the backend team so they can't access the data.

If frontend team 2 goes down, frontend team 1 still has access to the backend’s data

Writing new data: teams 1 and 2 go down then fuckit we can bulldoze backend and make a new backend for any new frontend teams.

[–] quicksand@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

This is awesome! I'm saving it for when I have some free time (aka probably never)

[–] a_cup_of_rohan@beehaw.org 3 points 11 months ago

Awesome stuff!

[–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Kavita is supposed to be the self-hosted automated manga downloader, unfortunately, their website seems to be down.

I believe FMD2 running in an OCI-compatible container with WINE underneath and Guacamole to present the app's GUI should be a decent alternative, since I heard that FMD2 can auto-download new manga chapters/releases

[–] jecht360@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I run Kavita on my TrueNAS Scale setup. I can't really recommend it, but there's not a lot of similar manga/comic self hosting servers out there.

It doesn't have a feature to auto download manga though. It also won't organize manga based on folder structure - it only goes by file name, which annoys me to no end since I have my library organized for use with Tachiyomi on my phone/tablet.

[–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What do you use for automated manga downloads? I'll probably have to stick with FMD2, but development seems to be a bit slow

[–] jecht360@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I don't really have any automated manga download processes. I use Neko on my phone and tablet to download new chapters from Mangadex automatically. My manga library in Kavita is all completed series that I grab via torrents.

[–] DLSantini@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

I haven't touched or looked at anything manga-related in a while, but when I was looking at manga hosting solutions, I settled on Mango. If I remember correctly, I chose it specifically because it organizes based on the file/folder structure, including nested folders. So I can manually name and organize the files(my preference, as I never like the way any automated system does it), drop said files into the library folder, run a scan in Mango, and I'm good. Also has 3rd party plugins for downloads(a lot of which are hentai-related though, if I recall).

I'm gonna steal that.

[–] theUnlikely@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Under Autobrr, what do you mean by "Grabs all torrents from my username"?

[–] averyminya@beehaw.org 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm guessing it grabs from private tracker

[–] theUnlikely@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 months ago

So they grab their own uploads via autobrr? To what end?

[–] BitterSweet@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I auto-upload to trackers that allow it. Instead of having the torrent already in qBit, I have autobrr send it to qbit with a special filter that checks for my username on the trackers I upload to.

I do this because If I grab the torrent at the same time as all the leechers then there's no delay for the leechers to start downloading meaning they don't have to re-poll the tracker as much to find me (the seeder)

This also works better for if you're not a pre-approved uploader (someone who doesn't need moderator approval to upload). That way once your torrent is approved I can start seeding right away.

[–] theUnlikely@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 months ago

Ah I see now! I wouldn't have thought to use it this way, but that makes a lot of sense.

Good for computers and phones. Not for consoles, which I use my ps5 for all my home media.
