I just ordered myself a nice little minipc, which will be partly used for this. Having a quick breakout to present the layers of the setup helps get a clear/quick overview. Thanks.
You should add Jellyseer/Overseer to your setup, it will make things even easier, especially for any non tech savvy person at home that wants to add anything to the server.
I would even go further with docker compose and say that it is faster to have 1 docker compose or stack that has in it all the containers you need. So if you have to deploy again the containers you can just run 1 command and everything is back again.
True. I like having the logical separation with many smaller files for some reason. Either way - I should definitely put these files into some form of source control in case my SD card ever fails and I lose all the config 😂
Wow, I have spent all day searching for videos to help me with my first server and yours answered all the questions I’ve had! Looking forward to learning how to use usenet
@@techwithdavidolding I didn't think I needed a nas because I found a mega streaming site that crawls the Web for all shows, but I guess a nas would good though now 😂
What hardware are you using for the Media Server? Is it really just a Raspberry Pi? I am asking because I would like to upgrade from my current setup, which runs Plex on my NAS (TerraMaster F2-212)
Yep -- everything is running on a raspberry pi 4. It works really well, just need to make sure hardware transcoding is disabled as its not powerful enough for that. The only thing I would change is to move my raspberry pi boot drive from a micro SD card to a usb powered SSD.
Thanks I'm running my entire media server on a raspberry pi 4. Using the default Raspberry Pi OS with default hardware config settings and most of my services running in individual docker containers.
Would love to see a start to end guide on this! This is almost exactly what i have been looking for. The only things that are missing for me is a File Server and possibility for a Minecraft Server. Would that also be possible? What OS are you running on your server?
I've put in depth guides to each in the description of this video you can check out. Some are by me and others by other creators which have done a great job explaining things. I'm running Raspberry Pi OS which is based on Debian Linux. Those are great ideas -- I plan to purchase a NAS and set up a File Server some time in the future. I'll make a video on that when it happens.
Thanks! It's "Night By The Lake" published by "Rolua" on wallpaper engine. I've just released a video detailing how to get a desktop setup similar to mine with that wallpaper --> ua-cam.com/video/-V1MC9Ygjmk/v-deo.html
Im so stuck. I flashed my old windows pc to ubuntu. And can not visually see these programs. Beyond frustrating. Feel like i need to change to unraid or truenass or something.
Oh man sounds painful. It's been ages since I've touched Ubuntu I can't even remember if apps get registered to a specific apps section within that system. I wonder if they register as a service and run silently in the background. Open a terminal window and type 'ps -ef' That will show you all running processes running on your system. I'm not sure how you'd find the location the config files get written to though.
Sure, I don't know much about Usenet yet - but it is something I want to learn more about. I'll do some research and share the findings in a future video.
Absolutely agree! I discovered tailscale a few weeks after I made this video 😅 For everyone else tailscale lets you access your media server from anywhere in the world... not just while you're connected to your home network. There's an install guide here if anyone is interested: ua-cam.com/video/ZtYhL9hCdMw/v-deo.htmlsi=vTl2ffxOVSLX_BQX
The most important thing you haven't said: how to implement all this and make it work not only for English speakers, but also for those of us who don't know English.
There are links down in the description for in depth installation and setup guides for each piece of software I talk about which you can follow for now. I plan to release a full in depth tutorial myself sometime in the future. Also I only know English so I'm unable to translate things well in other languages.
@@techwithdavidolding Regarding other languages, I was referring to whether these programs work as well in other languages as they do when content is easily available in English. When I download series, it is very difficult to get the subtitles to be synchronized with the chapter, among other related problems.
Ahh right - In Radarr and Sonarr under Settings --> Profiles --> Quality Profiles -- you can set which language you would like to download in. There is also another piece of software I learnt about after making this video called Bazarr. This automatically scans your library and downloads subtitles in languages you specify. It's automated, but I've found it a bit hit and miss - especially when it comes to anime in other languages. I think this is more a lack of knowledge on my part on good subtitle websites to pull from rather than the software itself. I'd definitely recommend checking out Bazarr.
This is by far the best media server vid I've seen in years! Could you do a longer format walk through?
Seriously, great vid!
Great video mate! Very helpful for someone like me that is just getting into setting up a home lab.
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks.
You should add Jellyseer/Overseer to your setup, it will make things even easier, especially for any non tech savvy person at home that wants to add anything to the server.
I ended up using LunaSea for adding new media.
It does the same thing, but they have a really nice mobile app to go with it.
Been using this as my guide to build my own! Thanks a bunch for the overview.
I would use Tailnet over forwarding ports for this kind of thing.
Agreed.
That's the path I ended up going down.
It was so easy to setup and use.
Almost the same as my setup. Although I am using Jackett instead of Prowlsrr and I’m using Plex instead of Jellyfin.
I would even go further with docker compose and say that it is faster to have 1 docker compose or stack that has in it all the containers you need. So if you have to deploy again the containers you can just run 1 command and everything is back again.

Thank you man, really well explained 👏
great video. i got my setup running just now. it's amazing with sonarr and radarr, don't need to look up torrent files manually and etc
I know.
It absolutely blew my mind when I first found out you could automate all of it.
For years I was doing everything manually it was such a pain 😂
@@techwithdavidolding I didn't think I needed a nas because I found a mega streaming site that crawls the Web for all shows, but I guess a nas would good though now 😂
Awesome stuff, I'm currently running SMB and media server using vlc to watch on my TV.
This is really cool. May be I can use my old laptop as a server

What hardware config do you use for running your server? Like your videos.
Thanks

Doing literally the same but with casaOS @@techwithdavidolding
More like this please!

can you add local drives on your pc if you are running jellyfin with a seedbox
Great video! What's your desktop wallpaper? It looks great!
Thanks!

Nice video...I have also made a similar setup but havent integrated arrs . If possible make a video for arr and LunaSea app....

im using tailscale as a private VPN so ill have access to everything
This is the way.
Does using Tailscale and interfere with the vpn that’s binded to the torrenting client
@@LukenLeach I don't think so tbh
Needs Tailscale!
