Containerisation is my nemesis. I cannot figure it out either. Set up my Home assistant server on proxmox and it bricked itself after like a week. Literally every help thread I could find just had really smug techbros telling people to just go simply take a college class instead of wasting their precious Reddit time and killing the vibe so I just gave up on that shit.
I just run it all as applications on a desktop OS.
Both will get you where you want to go. Simple homelab is a much cleaner setup if you actually want to run a server as the compose is separated out into individual includes per container/stack, but is way overkill for your use case, even though the documentation should make it reasonably simple to adapt. Media stack does exactly what you are trying, but the organization of the server isnt as nice, and the associated documentation may be over your head. Its definitely over mine, but I’m a “poke it rill it works” guy and not a “just read the damn instructions” guy.
Apologies, Lemmy posted my prior comment before I was done. Please give it a reread. My compose is based heavily on the simple homelab setup, but I remember figuring out how to get Sab and my VPN cooperating off media stack.
fair enough. containerization certainly did not come across as intuitive, even going through the docker tutorials. I try to be patient with myself at learning new shit, and even now I still am baffled.
as with all things computer, after rambling about my problem in here, it gave me an idea and now I think I have the binding configured in qbitt… so now I’m onto setting up accounts/group permissions for radarr and sonarr.
I’m trying not to rush myself and to use “best practices” instead of like “dirty” strategies, like making everything root. also, I take lots of “done for the day” breaks with this project to keep from getting frustrated and taking a big swing out of impatience.
i am super excited for the quality profiles to kick in and start upgrading my existing library. I’ve been at this for so long, I have lots of stuff that is 480p. I’m gonna have to configure some kind of “do this at night only” guardrails for a while once it’s going. I’m setting it up for minimum 1080p.
also prob gonna have to start working my way into some private trackers once my weak shit runs dry.

Home assistant really benefits from being run as an OS. RaspPI or similar would legit be my recommendation.
For a media server though, I learned mostly by starting with these two repos: https://github.com/geekau/mediastack https://github.com/SimpleHomelab/Docker-Traefik

HAos is running on one server with all the add-ons it needs, and then everything for self-hosted media is just on my desktop.
I wish I could put all my media stuff on that box with HAos, but I just cannot get proxmox to play nicely.

Came here to post https://mediastack.guide/ Which is Geekau’s website. Lmao. Very useful.
