Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

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.

NAS hosting all media and running:

• Sonarr for grabbing and managing TV shows
• Radarr does the same for movies
• Lidarr just for an overview of upcoming/missing music releases
• Navidrome to stream music (replaces Spotify)
• Jackett to manage torrent indexers
• qBittorrent via OpenVPN

Plus a VM running Nicotine+ (Soulseek client) for music sharing.

DOOM (see citation) folders mostly

I have a computer running TrueNAS Scale with a network drive accessable on my network from all my PCs and my TVs.

All of my systems can access the drive and play the content via VLC.

Is it efficient? No.

Would I recommend it? Also no.

Citation: DOOM stands for Didn't Organize Only Moved

For managing my library on disk, I just recently made the effort to set up the *arr apps. I love having the metadata, tagging, organizing, and file naming all consistent and automated. Previously I used mp3tag and filebot to manage them and it was way more manual. Everything is set up with docker-compose and Ansible.

Library file stuff:

• Two Radarr instances, one for 4k and another for lower resolutions
• Sonarr for TV
• Lidarr for music
• Two readarr instances, one for epub/pdf and one for audiobooks
• Jackett
• deluge+openVPN

For library frontend stuff:

• Jellyfin for movies, tv, music, audiobooks
• Plex, for when Jellyfin is acting up
• Jellyseer for TV & movie requests
• LaunchBox for videogames and emulators
• Calibre + calibreWeb for ebooks & syncing to my Kobo eReader

Haven't set up yet:

• flaresolverr
• unpackerr
• audiobookshelf

Doesn't exist yet/wishlist:

• *arr app for emulator ROMs (I'll have to check out romm, looks pretty cool!)

I have a pretty stable setup now. I mainly focus on TV and Movies but I have the following:

• Plex for streaming
• Overseerer for media requests
• Radarr and Sonarr for Movie and TV acquisition
• Jackett for indexers
• Gluetun for vpn

From there I basically let radarr and sonarr handle the organizing for the most part. I have a movies folder and a TV folder in my NAS that they save to. I really only have to go in and clean things up every few months or so.

In general just creating folders and keeping everything organized.

• Sonarr and Radarr for getting torrents
• Prowlarr for setting up torrent indexers
• Bazarr for getting subtitles
• Jellyfin for playback
• Tachiyomi (Android app) for Manga

• Jellyfin + arrs for Media (TV, movie, music)
• Calibre for eBooks of all kinds

• Movies / Shows. Self-hosted automated Jellyfin media streaming stack
• eBooks. Calibre
• pictures. Hydrus Network

I hate Calibre and Hydrus because they make copies of files instead of keeping track of them wherever I want them to be.

• porn. Stashapp

Plex is the big one. I have a Plex box that also runs qBittorrent and i can set that up to auto download and sorty new anime as they come out. I'm sure sonarr and radarr are handy, but they seem like a pain in the ass to set up. Plus everyone online who talks about them never educate on the pirate side, just the organization side. You just get cheeky nods and winks like ok... Thanks.

So I still very much manually pirate shit mostly. Like a chad.

Jellyfin for movies/shows,

Calibre for ebooks

Retroarch for ROMs

iTunes for music (so I can put it on my iPod)

Jellyfin, Shoko + Shokofin (anime metadata/organizer), separate NAS to store my music and videos. Games are just stored on my desktop.

Plex for movies/shows. For music spotify premium.

I don't keep any media. I use Kodi, a VPN, Real debrid, trakt to keep my lists and the seren repository.

Throw it all in a folder mostly. I normally watch a series or whatever once, then delete it. No point hoarding stuff I know I’m never gonna touch again.

TV/Movies: lookmovie2, sflix, 9anime (I only stream)

Music: Deemix and Musicolet

Manga: Kotatsu

Books: Libgen and Book Reader unless my local library has it.

• Plex for streaming Movies / TV / Music
• Radarr / Sonarr / Lidarr + Prowlarr
• Calibre to manage my ebook library and calibre-web to serve it
• haugene/transmission-openvpn + a VPN

I switched from Plex to Emby a few years ago after some Plex changes really made me frustrated with it.

I've been loving Emby.

• Emby+Kodi for playing the videos
• *arr for movie and show management
• nzbhydra for nzb meta search
• jacket for torrent meta search
• calibre+calibre-web for ebooks
• mylar for comics

Radarr/Sonarr to acquire most things. Still go around them where needed.

Then I use Kodi for all video. I don’t go off the main device enough to worry about a full server setup for it so I’ll just network share if I need to use another device.

Navidrome and substreamer for music in a proper server config with Tailscale tying it together.

I use Plex for movies/tv and Playnite for games

I only really run a server of TV Shows and movies. I use Jellyfin, just personal preference. It’s only really effective for use on the home network, but my smart TVs all have my own personal streaming service.

I have like 20TB+ worth of external drives right now that hold all my shit (movies, tv shows, audiobooks, anime, manga, roms, etc.) I want to buy a 4+bay NAS and eventually set it up for streaming. However, right now I just have a an excel file that is organized but each drive and what is contained in each one. I just connect my drive to my Xbox series X and just play it with Kodi. I do have Fen (and I think the Promise) connected to RD. I know I can stream practically stream anything but I really do like having the actual files (I may be a digital hoarder).

With my bookmarks atm. I'm new to self-hosting and stuff like Jellyfin, etc. So at the moment I'm learning and saving websites and guides. Once I have more money I hope to start the next step in this hobby/way of life.

Sonarr/radarr with rdtclient(real-debrid torrent client) for public torrent links, Qbittorrent vpn for private trackers, and then sabnzbd for usenet.

I mainly use this all for anime because it's harder for me to watch on the fly through kodi. Jellyfin for playback

I also use Kodi with seren and Real-Debrid for everything I don't wanna store.... Which is most of it

I just use Real Debrid and Google Drive tbh

@RandomLegend Here's how I do stuff:

• I use Calibre for books
• I use Shotwell for photos and videos
• I use Audacious for music
• For moving and deleting files around, I just use the regular file manager. I put music in Music, photos in the Pictures folder, videos go to Videos, documents go to Documents etc.
