Hey if you don’t get it sorted, hit me up, I’m in the Chicago timezone and I can give you my docker file and walk you through how I did exactly the same thing you’re looking for.

The answer is yes.

Not oc but just used it myself. It makes a gluten network in docker for the torrenting. It doesn’t run the others through it but you can modify the yaml to make the change yourself. If you want yams entirely it has a custom yaml that you can modify and a default that gets reset with every update. Modify the custom to change the network for the other arrs. Also, if I understand the system correctly, you only need to put prowler in the box with qbittorrrent. When using prowlarr, the arrs just say “hey I don’t have a thing” to prowlarr and prowlarr specifically finds the torrent and delivers it to qbit to download.

That’s what I’ll be doing if I can’t make it do the Renames. I just can’t handle seeing all that extra nonsense in the name files.

So I actually used it to set everything up last night and it did actually work all the way through, 9/10 easy. My only issue was that it expected a file structure that didn’t jive with the goblin tech I’m using for my server.

That said, it was surprisingly easy to modify the entire stack and copy it into portainer. I’m still working my way through the setup, but so far it’s smooth sailing.

That’s actually what I was trying with the TLDR. As I understood it, docker is popular because once you get it running on one system you can use docker to make it run on any system. So my assumption was that someone who has the arr stuff working could just send me a copy of their config.yml and the directory it makes when you up and then I just tweak the locations and names on my side. I get that’s probably not possible but I’ll take literally anything at this point.

I have watched this one, automation avenue is actually the one that got me the furthest before wireguard and gluten stumbled me. I haven’t checked the new one though.

On the current install, absolutely. I had to manually move all my media off of my previous installation and onto external drives so I could fresh install the entire Ubuntu server OS because I wasn’t a fan of the logical volume system. I like being able to pull the whole hdd when sftp is too slow.

I actually do get all of this, I guess my issue here is not know the venacular to explain it?

I have the docker set up almost identical to that. I have an environment section with my user and group in it. My volumes are /home/user/docker/arr/radarr/config: /config /mnt/media1/1)unsorted: /downloads /mnt/media1/2)sorted: /movies. Inside radarr, add directory, /downloads shows the ~800 mkv files. When I go to import the movies in /download, it tells me there are no movies to import.

I fixed this by looping mkdir to put every file in /mnt/media1/1)unsorted into its own folder. Now Radarr sees all of them and imports them.

This hasn’t fixed literally every other facet of using them, I haven’t even set up sonarr yet. I’m still haven’t figured out gluten at all. Planning to run the yams thing someone else posted so I’ll see if that gets me anywhere.

What’s the difference between this and yam?

I get that part, I just didn’t expect it to be incapable of starting with loose files. I’d like them properly foldered.

I made the mistake of trying to use deepseek to learn how to make a mod for vintage story. Suffice to say I’ll never make that mistake again.

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?

https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/providers/mullvad.md

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.

Sorry, it was late and I was very frustrated.

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.

That’s all I managed to fix.

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.
