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

        Is it really an alternative? When I tried it, sure some things were “similiar” but felt to me they excelled at different things.

        Love logseq (and have it forked, or at least i did for awhile)… I’m just a bit put off by the “infinite bullet point” list style notes, since i like to free form a bit. But it’s probably time for me to check it out again :) thanks for the reminder!

      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

      Yes.

      It’s a fantastic software. All of your files are kept in plaintext, too, which is important to me.

      You do NOT have to pay for syncing, you can pay them for their services, but I use syncthing to sync from my phone to my PC and server. It updates almost instantly. They also don’t try to block you from using third party sync options.

      Obsidian is a notes software, but you can make canvases like this and link multiple notes together. It also supports mark down.

        Do you leave syncthing running on your phone all the time? How is this on your phone’s battery life?

        Also, does obsidian do collaborative notes? Like, can I share and edit a note with someone else?

          I let syncing run in the background all the time, the app has a ton of settings to configure when it runs so it respects battery/data usage

          Android reports the app has used less than 1% of my battery in the last 19 hours

          No dedicated mobile apps, and I would rather not use it in a browser.

          I do a significant amount of my writing and story boarding on my phone, Obsidian has checked every box I’ve ever needed

      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

    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?

        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

          I do use komga for my Kobo! But for reading weeklies on Tachiyomi it’s not too great if you’re not in a private tracker that has weekly releases

      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 :/

      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.

    One question, do comics include manga too?

      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.

      Same, but I was on the grind for a BHD invite and by time I got it, my trackers list was 10+ and found having automation better then manually upkeeping on everything.

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

      I did try both actually, I just didn’t enjoy adding another service for people to use, it was too difficult convincing them to use another site and/or app. I just settled for the plex sync that way people don’t even have to touch ombi at all. Everything they need for media is contained in plex.

      I admit though I bet for others ombi and overseerr are great, as they are great projects, just wasn’t a fit for me sadly :/

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

    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

      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.

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

        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 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.
