    is there anything wrong with just running it in the background on a modern(ish) computer? My desktop is a 5900x with 64GB of RAM

    Nothing wrong, but there are some benefits of running dedicated hardware and stable server distro. Rpi or laptop will probably use way less electricity, but if your PC is running anyway than you actually save money by not using any extra hardware






  • People call private tracker users gatekeepers a lot. While thats true sometimes, its bullshit most of the time IMO. There are some trackers with open signups (sometimes), some require interview to join and some provide free invites to all users. If you join one, you get a chance to join another one. There are some that are “impossible” to join, but who cares if they want to stay small or whatever. Private trackers are not gold mine, almost all content is available elswhere, sometimes trackers go down or site is not working, sometimes they disappear forever.

    Tracker wouldnt be private if anyone can join, having too many people might lead to take down. Having more people than needed (for healthy tracker) is just extra risk probably. Users more likely keep their account(s) healthy and follow the rules (like ratio and hit&run), they donate to tracker and they are willing to pay for a seedbox, thats why its better than public trackers IMO. All (10+) people I have invited got banned because they didnt care about anything there (mostly inactivity for months) and they are happy with public trackers or they moved to a payed service.

    Private trackers are not for everyone, if you cba go for public or pay for usenet. If you are into movies/tv shows, setup *arr stack with VPN and public trackers and you will enjoy it the same way as anyone on private trackers. If you are nerd like me and have patience, dont mind keeping your torrent client online look into private trackers



  • Thank you! I use Debian 11, installed make, build-essential and golang, and still receiving the same message (feels like I should learn how to use these packages first).

    Using your file was working, but unfortunately gotify container just stops after some time. I was reading the docs and I must admit I don’t understand a tiny bit :D. Spinning gotify server in docker container was super easy tho. I’d like to get this working, but feels bad for taking your time mate, and I even stole the thread (Sorry OP) lol.







  • Sonarr and radarr can download files, but you cant set it to not download more than 5 episodes unless you do it manually. There is an arr app that auto deletes files older than X days (I forgot the name), but you also have to delete torrent files to get more space (this part can be done by setting up qbittorrent to auto delete after some time, but then you might have issues with your trackers unless you are using public or usenet).

    Jellyseer is just amazing GUI that can be used instead of loging in to radarr and sonarr, allowing you to press just one button to request media.

    I think arr stack is amazing for downloading (automated or manual), but you might need extra thinkering to not fill up your storage. 12 TB is more than enough for me, but I only use 1080p.

    My 12 TB is filling up around 1TB a month, so I will just free up 5-6 TB manually every 6 months. Well, thats the plan at least, time will tell
