recyclarr VS Saltbox

Recyclarr (GitHub) to automatically update custom formats per the TRaSH Guides. This took some tweaking to get just right, because it also changed my quality definitions, which I didn't want (YTS releases are fine for most of my users, lol).

(Sidenote - this is so I can utilise Recyclarr to sync profiles and formats from Trash guides - https://github.com/recyclarr/recyclarr)

There's also Recyclarr to automatically sync from the trash guides

[https://github.com/recyclarr/recyclarr.

It's also quite automateable: https://github.com/recyclarr/recyclarr

Capable of using TRaSH-Guides profiles for quality definitions and release profiles, similar to Recyclarr. If the TRaSH-Guides profile is updated, Buildarr will sync those updates to your instances.

I follow the TRaSH Guide, for the most part. I have custom formats set up using Notifiarr, and at this point, either using Notifiarr or Recyclarr custom formats is a necessity for any user. If you don't, your searches with Sonarr and Radarr are going to be all over the place.

I use https://github.com/recyclarr/recyclarr/pkgs/container/recyclarr which loads https://trash-guides.info/.

On point 3, I use Recyclarr to keep my release profiles synced up to Trash's current recommendations.

There is currently a Hetzner auction dedi with 4x16TB drives for €70. AFAIK, Hetzner would be the cheapest storage option, so even though it's not 70TB, at that price point you're pretty much stuck. You can rent one and install Saltbox or Swizzin yourself, it's pretty easy.

Lot of great suggestions in here. Sounds like you're looking into creating an in-house simplified version of https://github.com/saltyorg/Saltbox. Worth taking a look at what software they've got support for.

May I introduce you to https://github.com/saltyorg/Saltbox ?

Pair one of those Hetzner boxes with this sweet project and you're laughing. There's really not much I can think of that Saltbox doesn't include. The only downside for some, is it strictly managed via commend line and doesn't have any sort of actual UI. But besides that, you can literally deploy a fully customized media server for streaming and downloading torrents/nzbs as well as hosting all your apps in very little time at all. Their discord community is awesome as well, alot of knowledgable folks there when/if you run into issues and/or have questions.

For example I want to setup a media server for plex and I can’t decide if cloud or a physical one would be cheaper or easier to maintain. Saltbox (https://docs.saltbox.dev/) looks like what I’m looking for it is a script you run that installs and configures everything, you get unlimited storage and can stream from the cloud to your device. But they are vague on a simple matrix of what providers and configurations for different cloud providers people use and more importantly pricing. They say no VPS others say a VPS is fine. Oddly while it looks really up to date and in GitHub and the installation is well documented I can’t tell what’s a setup for data hoarder vs common user. I searched all afternoon on Reddit with little mention of this and I’m guessing there’s a community somewhere who could guide me. I also want CNN, ESPN, FS1 for sports and don’t know if there’s live providers or I should just get cable. Then we’re talking my total bill goes back up to $250.) when I was a kid I watched everything I could get my hands on and paying for all the services for one show once a year is somehow worse than we had big cable bills. I’m sure they’re forums that can help or even things off reddit but I feel this common thing people do would be too greyish illegal for one and second not sticking to mefi rules and just saying “look here it’s kinda of a hidden place” would work.
