Everyone here is talking about how to get the latest and best stuff, but no one is talking about how they actually manage it 😜
So, how do YOU manage your Movies / Shows / Music / eBooks / Games?
I begin:
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 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 Radarrtorrents/movies
. Once the torrent client has downloaded the files, Sonarr and Radarr hardlinks the needed files tomedia
's respective folders. I have setmedia/tv
for shows andmedia/movies
for movies on Jellyfin. Everything is automated, I love it.
