Everyone here is talking about how to get the latest and best stuff, but no one is talking about how they actually manage it 😜

So, how do YOU manage your Movies / Shows / Music / eBooks / Games?

I begin:

  • Plex for Movies / Shows / Music
  • Kavita for eBooks and Manga
  • Romm for my Gamecollection and Roms (it supports PC games aswell)

    I use Prowlarr + Radarr + Sonarr + Jellyfin.

    I have /data directory organised like this:

    /data
├── media
│   ├── books
│   ├── movies
│   ├── music
│   └── tv
└── torrents
    ├── books
    ├── movies
    ├── music
    └── tv

    Files added from Sonarr goes to torrents/tv and that for Radarr torrents/movies. Once the torrent client has downloaded the files, Sonarr and Radarr hardlinks the needed files to media’s respective folders. I have set media/tv for shows and media/movies for movies on Jellyfin. Everything is automated, I love it.

        I have this with a usenet folder as well, sub folder for game roms that I mostly manage on my own by manual hardlinking

      Pretty much my method. On an unRaid server so that I can have a flat user space interface and expand as needed.

      My collecting isn’t as automated and only my video media is aggregated into a viewing platform (Plex), but it’s pretty easy to find anything on a moments notice.

        Would you happen to have any recommendations for any compete noob UNRAID resources? I have a GSA and I’m very interested in using UNRAID on that, but I haven’t played around with non-Windows or OSX OSes in over 15 years.

          The unRaid forums are the place to go. TBH, it’s so bullet proof I only ever do anything with it when I rebuild my server. The last time was ~3 years ago.

          The management is a nice gui, the docker setup is mostly automatic, but doing anything beyond basics is command line. I almost never use *ix but it’s really not that bad.

            I’ll start there, thank you! That’s the only thing holding me back from having a home server, like I’ve always wanted. Well, that, and having to screw like ten 2.5” SAS drives into sleds. That’s too many screws.

              Look for spaceinvaderone on YT. He has great tutorials for almost everything. One note of caution, the Unraid UI has evolved, so some things ma look different.

              I also run Unraid with Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr and Overseer running as dockers. Its a great system.

                I second this. Sapceinvaderone has some great Unraid videos. I’d also recommend checking our IBRACORP, they have some videos about setting up Unraid just like @myxi@feddit.nl

      Mostly the same over here. I also run Jellyseer for automated show/film request handling, autoscan for faster Jellyfin scanning since my drive is a network drive not directly attached to the server, and unpackerr for auto-unzipping files from the occasional Usenet style download with a movie split into 60 RAR files.
