Ok, so let me get this straight before I jump in. This is basically a prepackaged install wizard for docker, Arr stuff, torrent client, VPN, and jellyfin? I don't need to install a different OS because it runs on Ubuntu server.
The one hang up I found is the same thing I didn't understand using the trash guide, migrating gluten to wireguard for Mullvad. Could you or anyone that's reading this parse this info for me and tell me how to double check if it worked?
That's actually what I followed the previous try. It got me further than anything else but it fell apart because Mullvad doesn't do OpenVPN and I couldn't figure out how to get wireguard to work. Even then, on trying to rename and organize all my files, it just corrected them in Sonarr, Radarr, and jellyfin which broke all of my manually curated movies and it left all the files with the dumb mismatch they already have.
Poor explanation on my part. I had to move each of my movies from /movies/movie.mkv to /movies/folder/movie.mkv before Radarr could import them. I gave up after that so when I get off work today I'll be able to actually import them and see if it moves and renames them this time.

Radar, sonarr, and lidarr are each installed via docker into their own directories.
I recently did a complete reformat of my server and organization because the first try was a mess and this try I started organizing from the start. When backing up my media I moved just the video files from my first server to backup so I could delete all the extra jellyfin pics, torrent site ads, and folders of bulk subs. This meant the /movies was just 900GB of video files in a folder.
I mistakenly thought that Radarr would would take all the movies out of there and put them in the new location in their own folders as well as format the movie name and folder names to my specified schemes. Radarr would show the movies in the file list when I pick the directory but when I ran the import it would give me "all movies imported" without importing any of them.
As it turns out, each movie file needs to be in its own folder inside /movies, then Radarr will recognize they're there and import them.
I'm down for something that makes the compose for me. I already get that part but it would be nice to not have to copy, paste, and fill my template each time.
Since it's mentioned and this is a general suggestion, if you're looking at Home Assistant, understand that the Docker version and the OS version are different and all of the videos don't warn you about that. If you use the Docker version you have to manually install all the plugins where the OS has an app store. I didn't know and all I wanted it for was chore-ops.
I'm actually running portainer at the moment and it's been an absolute lifesaver in this nonsense. I'm not great in terminal and it helps me get the syntax right. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do much to whip the arrs into working.
Baring the obvious complaints about AI, my server is a dell tower from 2014, I do not have the resources to spare or the luxury of offloading my brainpower.
I get this feeling hard. You're comment 3 out of 11 that I woke up to, comment one sent me to yet another guide to read and comment 2 congradulated me for getting it working. That's on me for not classifying at midnight on a work night that the only thing I fixed was Radarr can now find the movies. Everything else is still broken.
Everyone talks about docker being an easy way to share things around, I'd assume it'd be easier to zip a working installation and send it my way than to find a guide I haven't read.
Photography is a good option. You can take a class for it in most high schools or online if you're an adult. A decent enough camera can be had for around $300 and you can do the editing on free programs like gimp. In turn, you can make that back with a single client foing senior pictures for highschoolers, most wedding photographers charge around a grand for a wedding, more depending on length and if they want touch ups. Realitors like to keep a professional in their pocket because good photos of a house gets more people interested. Then of course there's all the family/baby/dog/business/etc photoshoots in between.
Tailoring. In a world of fast fashion, having someone who can fit you for a suit is a necessity if you're wearing it more than once. Most tailor services I've met work for 3 or 4 clients a month and that covers their lifestyle.
HVAC pays really well and by the time you finish you're trade school class on it you'll already have everything you need to go solo.
Landscaping is another good option if you font mind the heat and labor. For about $2k you can get everything you absolutely need to get into it and by the 5th client you're probably looking at enough to get more professional gear. The best bet for clients are actually smaller businesses like gas stations that aren't chains, rental properties, and specialty clinics. Most of them don't have the service built in and are willing to make a deal if you offer better service or cheaper prices than the current option. This gets even better if you learn local landscaping practices and do the design work too. I knew a guy that got himself a contract with an HOA to do the work for an entire neighborhood. When he started he couldn't dream of affording to live there, by the time I met him he made more than most of the residents.
I'm certain I fall into bottom right as the category but I can't tell where in the quadrant I'd put the dot that indicates that I'm actively still on the internet and available to be found but I've dedicated an unreasonable amount of time to avoiding the modern digital culture in lieu of a mock attempt to recapture the late 2000s digital experience. Hit me up in that chatroom or text me on my flip phone, you'll find me by my handle it's the same on every platform.
I'm all for understanding, but my line is drawn when the understanding fails to lead to action. My oldest friend still chooses validation seeking over all else, despite knowing that it's the crux of all his problems and knowing he has the support of everyone, he's adamant that it's not on him to change and it's on his support network to accept this as who he is and accommodate it even at their detriment. 24 years, I can't handle that. I'm not willing to undo changes I made for my mental health to accommodate a lifestyle he's admitted to being toxic.
Plus it's not like any of the major companies have been earning consumer appreciation. If a new company started today and offered similar price fora buck less than everyone else I'd buy just for the pleasure of saying I didn't buy Nvidia
Imagine how fucking dumb our world has gotten that the discussion is, "china used our specific software to plot the destruction of our specific software using propaganda that accidentally turned out to be true" and not, "company uses VPN to blame China for their shitty practices."
Right now I'm using a combination of Home Assistant on the server, GrapheneOS on the phones, a pihole set up as a DNS whitelist, and an app that escapes me from F-droid that locks other apps bases on screen time. Took me maybe 10min to find everything and 2 months to set up but that was mostly due to my sheer incompetence when it comes to anything that isn't physical. Along the way I even got a jellyfin server going age appropriate music and video sectioned off for him. When he's responsible enough for it I'll be teaching him how to pirate his own content.
I get that part, I just didn't expect it to be incapable of starting with loose files. I'd like them properly foldered.
