If you have the time and resources, I highly recommend it. Once it's all running it becomes mostly a 'set it and forget it' situation. You don't have to remember to scroll through pages of search results to find content. It'll automatically grab them for you based on your configured quality profile (or upgrade it to better quality). Additionally, you can easily stream it to any devices in our home network (or remote with a VPN).
You don't have to do it all at once. Start with a single service you're interested in and slowly add more over time.
For a long time, that was the case. Then the greed nation attacked. Now they've reproduced the cable model on the web and more than half of which have terrible clients / infrastructure.
If I could pay for a single service that operated similar to this setup:
Tell it what I'd like to watch while also displaying similar content for discovery.
Tracking progress in every show (while not forgetting!).
Not losing content I have been watching as it's now in 'another castle'.
A single place to view all tracked shows rather than loading each service individually.
I probably would sign up for it as that's what was so successful for Netflix until all of the studios thought they could do better. And now the consumer has to suffer the consequences.
Each service is a separate docker-compose.yml, but they are more-or-less the same as the example configs provided by each service. I did it this way as opposed to a single file to make it easier to add/remove services following this pattern.
I do have a higher quality version of the diagram, but had to downsize it a lot to get pictrs to accept it...
The systemd.timers are basically cronjobs for scripts I wrote to address a few of the pain points I've encountered with the setup. They're either simple curl or wget and jq calls or use Python for more complex logic. The rest are services that are either a part of or adjacent to *arrs.
As for k8s, personally I feel that would add more complexity than it's worth. I'm not looking for a second job. 😛
Not quite the same, but I switched to buckwheat pillows. This way you can shape it to fit however you like no matter the position. Takes some getting used to but solved my issues with most pillows. Sadly it also means no more pillow fights...
I'm just not confident that I'd be able to pass an interview with either of them. No issue with rules or ratios, I simply don't have enough time to study up on the technicals. I used to be on a decent tracker years ago, but didn't pay enough attention when they shut down and missed out on the open invites.
I've tried RuTracker in the past but it hasn't worked very well for me so far. Soulseek sounds interesting, especially if they get a Lidarr integration working.
The left thumb is pretty similar to the Kinesis Advantage which I've used for years. No issues with comfort there!
The layout is a 5x6 full matrix. Wylderbuilds has the option to print with it, but I think the software used to generate the model supports it as well.
