Exactly this and more.
I'm not even pirating because it's cheaper, or easier. I have near 100TB in storage, and it takes hours per week to search material, have it downloaded, checked, etc. I just am done with the marketing, the branding, the advertising, the bullshit rules. I just want to watch what I want to watch and media companies made this impossible so I'm forced to sail the high seas
Why not just... Automate that with an Arr stack? And use Jellyseer to find new and popular movies and shows.
Im looking into an arr stack but it seems there are a LOT of moving pieces. I'm technical enough to pull it off but also old enough to roll my eyes at seeing how many systems I'll need to install, setup, configure, etc. sonar, bazaar, radarr, arrarr..
I dont suppose there is a single docker container to install that pulls and connects it all? I dont mind a bit of work but this sure seems a lot at first glance
There's several that you can customize to your liking, and several megathreads about it on the old site we shall not speak of.
Thing is, the specific units you install can bedifferent depending on personal preference; I use qbittorrent instead of transmission for instance, Jellyfin instead of Plex, and so on.
Once you get it set up, though, everything else should go smoothly, and you'll practically never have to do manual searches ever again (except those really niche shows nobody's ever heard of).
There's an example docker file from Rick45 on github, but as I noted, he uses stuff like Plex and Deluge instead. Feel free to just copy the example file and edit as needed for your preferred services.
Me, my preferred stack includes Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr, Jellyfin, qBittorrent, SurfShark, JellySeer, Flaresolver, and Organizer. Again, tweak as you'd like.
Wow that's a lot.
How do you not think too much about hard drive failures 😅
Serious question though, how much do you spend on drives, they're getting cheaper but it's still around like 25€/TB where I live?
Not really worrying about it. Bought 5 20TB drives about a year ago, and a year from now I'll buy 5 new ones
He spends about 2500€
100TB? Why?
Because its fun. Because i get obscure movies in high quality, maybe for posterity? I dunno, it's a hobby. Why does anyone get a Warhammer 40K army?
Because that's like 20,000 movies and I need two new movies to watch every night until the day I die, thanks.
More like 2500 and 250 complete series at the quality that I'm getting them.
Yeah, I won't ever will watch half of that but at the moment it's a nice hobby
I know when you can get petabytes, why stop at 100TB.
Build your own Netflix gets expensive after a while.
I found I watched a lot more once I installed Jellyfin rather than faffing around with files and folders whenever I wanted to watch anything.
