Tl;dr: I understand docker is supposed to help get things running on different systems easily, can someone give me a copy of their working Arr stack?

Frustrated venting I’m past being new to this server thing having run mine for over a year so I guess I can officially say I’m just bad at it. I’ve been working on getting Sonarr, Radarr, and, lidarr running since 4 in the afternoon, discounting dinner that’s 6 hours of constantly failing to get these to work. This is my 5th time trying since I learned about it in April.

I’ve given up on the automatic downloads, I’ve given up on the request system, I’m even done with the torrenting, I’ll just do that on my phone. All I want is something that format my 5TB of media to Title (date) instead of MOVIE_TITLE_ALL_UNDERSCORE, or TB_1000, or movie.videoformat.year.special.deluxe.username.host.visit.my.site.please. I was sold on this idea that self hosting was a relatively easy thing that anyone can get into and while I have a good understanding of how a config.yml is supposed to look and work, and I’ve got a decent understanding of ssh and sftp between two computers, but trying to grt any one of these things to run is soul crushing. I literally work in the foster system and my worst cases do not give me the stress this does. I just want to get it fixed so I can watch Pokemon with my family and offer it to people who will never bother to log on.

Edit: OMFG I moved them back into individual folders and they work now. 6 hours of videos and tutorials and not a single thing saying they absolutely have to be in their own folders or it won’t work. edit unclear, brain stuck in toaster

Edit 2: turns out, Radarr can’t find movies at /movies/movie.mkv and needs /movies/folder/movie.mkv. Now Radarr can import movies but all other problems persist.

    Does it also use VPN network for arr containers? So their torrent queries are also through VPN?

      Not oc but just used it myself. It makes a gluten network in docker for the torrenting. It doesn’t run the others through it but you can modify the yaml to make the change yourself. If you want yams entirely it has a custom yaml that you can modify and a default that gets reset with every update. Modify the custom to change the network for the other arrs. Also, if I understand the system correctly, you only need to put prowler in the box with qbittorrrent. When using prowlarr, the arrs just say “hey I don’t have a thing” to prowlarr and prowlarr specifically finds the torrent and delivers it to qbit to download.
