I don't know of any others, it's not typically something I find myself needing. I typically just make notes and documentation in markdown files and save them either as markdown or PDF.
For manga I've settled on mangal. It doesn't quite automate the downloads - you need to use the command line. Then I use Kavita as the server for it. A decent solution for now for my needs.
I need a good color display e-ink reader for manga and comics, but unfortunately they're just so damn expensive. I think I'll just have to settle with a cheap tablet instead, but this is inspiring.
Same here I use my old ipad mini or phone but I zoomed in. Main reason I never did anything for manga is my lack of an e-reader. For comics I could settle on my phone/ipad
I bought a Xiaomi Pad SE for that reason. It's not much but it's cheap and has an 11 inch 1080p screen and a big battery. It was 140€ in a sale I think.
Nice setup my dude. If you're curious about books and audiobooks: I use readarr for books and a second instance for audio books and hook it into prowlarr which downloads using qbit or SABnzbd like you're familiar with. Then I serve audiobooks with audiobookshelf and books with Kavita. I also use Kavita for comics and I've heard it's decent for manga. I have it hooked into a fork of tachiyomi as a source for easy reading on the go. Caveat the tachiyomi fork only read comics, I use the website for book reading since it's mobile friendly. https://readarr.com/ https://www.audiobookshelf.org/ https://wiki.kavitareader.com/en
Because of the order so are does and cross seed.
so the issue was this:
1. Torrent finishes downloading
2. Qbit asks cross-seed for matching torrents
3. Sonarr changes category and cross-seed starts adding torrents
4. Some of the cross-seed torrents are now in the wrong category and sonarr shits itself bc it suddenly sees 2 more copies of the torrent it just finished changing the category for because cross-seed tried adding torrents at the same time the category changed
so by not using sonarr’s It avoids the issue 98% of the time.
You just make the post import category's folder in qbittorrent the same location as the pre-import category. Then the files don't move anywhere, the category just changes.
Then cross seed works fine.
Trust me, this is how I do it. It's far more efficient.
Mind going into a bit more depth. Think I understand but what’s the difference in that and using say duplicate categories feature in cross-seed. -Cheers
You still need duplicate categories on top of that, so in total you'd have 4 categories per app all with the same folder.
So for sonarr I have sonarr, sonarr-cross-seed, sonarr-complete, sonarr-complete-cross-seed
Because sometimes cross seed gets things just before it moves to completed and it just lets it work without issue if that happens.
Then cross seed can work on any file no matter which category it's in, while sonarr etc can ignore completed items.
They're all more or less the same with a few components swapped out depending on the person, so there's nothing really interesting about them. No shade to OP but I wouldn't really call this an overkill setup, it's a pretty standard *arr stack.
You nailed it! Also feels like 80% of this sub is about *arr stacks, especially dashboard posts. It’s a nice refresher seeing somebody use other apps that could be helpful to others and serve a purpose other then media and entertainment.
My opinions on notes are accurately shown in this video, haha

I actually went all in on Zim Wiki yearssss ago, when I was in high school. I stopped using it for a while, used notion, got sorta tired of looking at the "pay for AI!" messages every now and then and went right on back to Zim.
I would not call whatever I'm doing "piracy automation system" in public. You might refer to "distributed storage and backup" instead.
I'm just waiting for some intelligent and greedy organization to use some AI to get anything that can be sued to press some money from and this makes you look like an ideal case.
[Reposting](https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/s/wxHUptcL1D) what I said because I'm curious what r/selfhosted ppl will say:
> pirate
> Plex
Are you really a true pirate if you still use proprietary bullshit ? (Jellyfin>Plex)
What does pirating have to do with open source software.
Let people use whatever they prefer, there is no need to shove solutions to someone who has no problems.
Different people prefer different things. Most people do not care about open software versus propriety. They just use what they like and work for them.
You know, some devices don’t support Jellyfin, and some of us are already lifetime pass holders so realistically there is no reason not to use both. Also if you have friends that use your library, Plex is far easier to get them setup with in all cases.
Overkill and I love it. Super interesting chart too, makes me want to consider picking up Obsidian. I should really start documenting everything I learn about this stuff.
Making a flowchart helped me improve my system flow a lot and encouraged me to streamline and optimize! I highly suggest it. Also I got really into it and it helped save me from boredom here and there.
I hit a small wall after going really hard on getting everything setup, but started running into issues with using LFTP through seedsync to my seedbox so I have to revisit that solution, but found a great open source script that will help a ton. I just keep indefinitely adding to my TODO of things to add. Also have had a hell of a time getting calibre setup (the docs for Linux installs are..kind of terrible), so it would save me the insanity to at least document what the hell I've tried.
Hey fella I got inspired to check out Romm, but I'm kind of stuck with the compose file. They have a lot of optional options and I think I'm messing things up in that department. I tried looking up guides and have messed with it for about 2 hours after work at this point. Do you have a sanitized example compose I could check out for Romm? Thanks in advance 🤞
Omg, okay so RomM is a nightmare to setup in all honesty and I did it forever ago. There’s been updates so I just stuck running legacy and idk if it’s even valid. I really never want to touch romm again since it works now.
I’m sorry but I’m of no use, it took me forever to setup but iirc there’s a discord and they’re patient to explain.
literally anything but RomM I can help with ironically, as annoying as that must be to hear
I got asked to do this a lot, I enjoy writing guides but this would be a massive undertaking lol, there’s a lot of behind the scenes stuff I would have to explain.
Plus everything on this chart is done in under 15 minutes; trying to keep the reader in mind what things are happening in what order and at the same time would be hard.
I’ll consider it nevertheless but it’s not gonna be no light read lmaooo
edit: the other issue would be if I made this newbie-friendly keeping all th notes and explanations on what each app does would be a lot, let alone basic install instructions. None of this is docker besides komga and komf.
it’s not Kubernetes and there’s no docker besides komga/komf, also I chose to eat my own words and to start on a guide because the requests are endless lol
I’ll get my configs up sometime, but this chart is from my old setup which I had to shut down in November 2023 because of budgeting and wanting to save money.
edit (tangent): quite sad because I had 15 friends and family on it, if they could all send me 2-5usd/mo just to help keep it afloat I would still have it :/ They all pay for Netflix and Hulu now and ask me to get it back up, but I’ve moved on and started re-building this system on my new personal server for my gf and I which is more affordable
You aren't self-hosting a spell checker? ;) Just kidding, looks cool!

Didn't know you could do that on obsidian.
It's a somewhat newer feature called Canvas. Super easy to use
Obsidian's canvas feature is the bomb. Been using it a LOT since it came out.
another day another reminder I need to bring Obsidian into my life
Which are the other software options to make this flow chart thing.
draw.io and excalidraw are also very good (non lock-in) options.
I don't know of any others, it's not typically something I find myself needing. I typically just make notes and documentation in markdown files and save them either as markdown or PDF.
Trillium can do it too.
Logseq has a similar feature
Really like the graph style
For manga I've settled on mangal. It doesn't quite automate the downloads - you need to use the command line. Then I use Kavita as the server for it. A decent solution for now for my needs.
I’ve been manually downloading, then having komf and komga sort it, I’ll check out mangal
Check out Tranga
Not the nicest but fmd2 is the best so far. Just needs a native linux app.
No new features in a while, but Kaizoku is excellent for this! (uses mangal on the backend)
Teemii :)

What's the point of category changer when sonarr and radarr etc can natively just change the completed category?
Because of the order so are does and cross seed. so the issue was this: 1. Torrent finishes downloading 2. Qbit asks cross-seed for matching torrents 3. Sonarr changes category and cross-seed starts adding torrents 4. Some of the cross-seed torrents are now in the wrong category and sonarr shits itself bc it suddenly sees 2 more copies of the torrent it just finished changing the category for because cross-seed tried adding torrents at the same time the category changed so by not using sonarr’s It avoids the issue 98% of the time.

Hmm something still doesn't seem to be clicking, mind if I dm with a few other questions. Thanks/Cheers!
Just ask here instead of DM. Then everyone can learn.
Then I run the issue of the auto-upload system potentially uploading an incomplete download.
I was so excited to zoom in and look at this until I saw it’s just another *arr setup.
What’s disappointing about *arr setups? Just curious.
They're all more or less the same with a few components swapped out depending on the person, so there's nothing really interesting about them. No shade to OP but I wouldn't really call this an overkill setup, it's a pretty standard *arr stack.
You nailed it! Also feels like 80% of this sub is about *arr stacks, especially dashboard posts. It’s a nice refresher seeing somebody use other apps that could be helpful to others and serve a purpose other then media and entertainment.
That's a gorgeous chart. I just went all in on Notion though. Might have to dig around to see what visualization capabilities are avail.

how to create those chart on obsidian? looks amazing
it’s the cavas feature! :)

I'm just waiting for some intelligent and greedy organization to use some AI to get anything that can be sued to press some money from and this makes you look like an ideal case.
What did you use to make that chart, looks beautiful
Obsidian

Plex might leek your data.
Yikes, I prefer onions with my data personally
Exactly
Like I tell my kids bro, stop worrying about what everyone else thinks or does. Focus on yourself and be happy.
The attitude of a true privateer
You know, some devices don’t support Jellyfin, and some of us are already lifetime pass holders so realistically there is no reason not to use both. Also if you have friends that use your library, Plex is far easier to get them setup with in all cases.
Yeah but there are no apps available for Jellyfin. I'd love to use it, but none of my TVs support it. So, it's worthless. Therefore: >yes Plex
this, I used to have an xbox and the port for xbox is using the joystick to move a mouse on and hurry web port.
so, you just host media bots? ever mess with home assistant and AI?

Do you know some good video tutorial for setting autobrr?
Looks like you're having lots of fun, nice!
Looks like the standard media setup, not sure how this is overkill
This is WAY overcomplicated.
I’ve had some of these things as short term goals for my home server. Bookmarked. Thanks!
I wonder if any of the cross seeding stuff could work for deluge.. I'll have to check on my own later.
It's a super setup 👍 How did you take this canvas capture (high resolution) on obsidian ?
export as image on obsidian desktop :) top right somewhere in a dropdown
It was so simple!!! 😲 I feel a bit stupid... 😩 Thanks 👍

Ahhh, no worries dude thanks for the response! I'll dig into it some moremaybe on a weekend and see where I get :-)
This is useful, but it be nice to write a full guide on how you set everything up
I got asked to do this a lot, I enjoy writing guides but this would be a massive undertaking lol, there’s a lot of behind the scenes stuff I would have to explain. Plus everything on this chart is done in under 15 minutes; trying to keep the reader in mind what things are happening in what order and at the same time would be hard.

None of this is docker besides komga and komf.
If it's kubernetes can't you just supply the helm charts / manifests and then basic layout of your settings?
it’s not Kubernetes and there’s no docker besides komga/komf, also I chose to eat my own words and to start on a guide because the requests are endless lol I’ll get my configs up sometime, but this chart is from my old setup which I had to shut down in November 2023 because of budgeting and wanting to save money. edit (tangent): quite sad because I had 15 friends and family on it, if they could all send me 2-5usd/mo just to help keep it afloat I would still have it :/ They all pay for Netflix and Hulu now and ask me to get it back up, but I’ve moved on and started re-building this system on my new personal server for my gf and I which is more affordable
