docker-qBittorrentvpn VS Navidrome Music Server

Looking at the Github issues for the container many seem to be in the same situation as you: https://github.com/MarkusMcNugen/docker-qBittorrentvpn/issues There doesn't seem to be any activity from the developer either.

I'm trying to deploy the markusmcnugen/qbittorrentvpn image but I'm having issues.

- Docker container https://github.com/MarkusMcNugen/docker-qBittorrentvpn

In terms of downloading your "Linux ISO's" automatically, I highly recommend setting up a qbittorent/vpn combo docker container, such as this one. There's also an entire set of programs with docker containers youll see referred to as the "*arr" stack, which help to manage your collection, as well as automatically download your selected media as it becomes available. These are a bit trickier to set up, but once you have everything configured and running, they are a godsend.

why not use qbittorrentvpn. Auto kill switch, etc. https://hub.docker.com/r/markusmcnugen/qbittorrentvpn/

Hey all, I'm pretty decent with normal networking on routers and switches, etc. but I know very VERY little about iptables. I am trying to fix an issue with a qBittorrent + VPN container. The VPN includes a script setting up a bunch of iptables rules to prevent leaks outside of the VPN. Script is located here: https://github.com/MarkusMcNugen/docker-qBittorrentvpn/blob/focal/qbittorrent/iptables.sh

Been having issues with docker ever since I first tried it, I can't for the life of me access it on the supposedly open ports. Tried setting up this docker for usage in my home plex server with arr services.

I went with the qbittorrentvpn container.

So here's the situation. I have a seedbox at home. It is currently running this docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/markusmcnugen/qbittorrentvpn/ Which runs qBittorrent and OpenVPN. It's set up so that all of the torrenting traffic goes through the VPN while the rest of my seedbox can be used for other things without having to worry about the VPN. I access this seedbox using the WebUI, which works fine whenever I'm on the local network.

Have Sonarr, Radarr, Sabnzbd, qBittorrent/VPN (NordVPN just for qBittorrent, not on Usenet connections) running in containers on the NAS using Docker Compose. Had OMBI also connected, but has been troublesome as of late for me. Newshosting as my usenet provider, NZBGeek for usenet indexing, Rargb and Nyaa for torrents. Just joined a few private trackers, but those are manually managed and seeding day and night.

My primary way to play music is from my self-hosted navidrome[1] server with my collection of albums I've mostly purchased from bandcamp. I can stream it to many different devices at home or on the go.

But sitting next to my bed is a Walkman (actually a $10 Jensen version) with a few of my favorite cassettes in the nightstand drawer. Granted, I listen to raw black metal, so the format fits the music well, but I really enjoy just popping in a cassette and hitting play. When I "metaltate", I listen to full albums and do not want to ever be interrupted or have skipping audio due to bluetooth or anything else. It is a really simple and great experience.

Would I ever take my walkman with me or want to carry around a bunch of tapes on a trip? Of course not! But it does have a time and place that is valuable.

When friends come over, we use either vinyl or my custom built RFID cards. There is more of a ceremony to digging through a physical stack of albums and being forced to listen to the album front to back.

Basically, you run a server on your Mac that scans your music collection and "broadcasts" it to the network (LAN or WAN) via either the venerable UPnP/DLNA[1] family of technologies or the newish Subsonic API[2]. Of course, there are others, like DAAP or AURA, etc..

From there, you need to point a compatible player to said server to play your music on any supported device.

If you want to listen to your music on the go, pairing a Subsonic-compatible server on your Mac and a Subsonic-compatible app on your iPhone is probably the way to go. On the server side, I have only used the original Subsonic[3], which was good, but Navidrome[4] seems to be OK. But be aware that the whole "scene" is super messy and fragmented, with the usual abandoned forks of open source alternatives of everything.

Note that this means opening your local network, which comes with its own complexity.

This r/selfhosted thread[5] should give you an idea.

My use case is slightly different. I only care about streaming to my Denon CEOL mini system, which only supports UPnP/DLNA, so my current setup is:

- All my music is stored on a 2011 Mac Mini,

- I use Kazoo Server[6] (not perfect but reliable) to stream it to my audio system,

- which I control via the HEOS app provided by Denon.

Whatever stack you choose, make sure your files are tagged correctly and consistently.

[Scanner] Fix Windows scanner (#2633). Thanks @caiocotts

EDIT: This version has a bug when running on Windows that breaks your database! I deleted the Windows binary from the download page and will publish a fix very soon. For details see: https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome/issues/2630

Jellyfin is great for movies & shows. As an anecdote, it's not so good for music if you're a collector. I personally use Navidrome for that[0].

Anyway, Sonarr[1] makes use of .NET, too. Very reliable software, in my experience.

I am running ND via the docker container (deluan/navidrome:latest which is 0.49.3 (8b93962f) at the time of this writing) and interact with ND using the web interface.
