I installed mine on OPNsense. I used the OPNsense documentation: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/wireguard-client.html. Here is another guide: https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/road-warrior-vpn-wireguard-opnsense/. And yet another if you want to set it up in docker: https://linuxiac.com/how-to-set-up-wireguard-vpn-with-docker/. However, the firewall rules can get a bit messy.
Why add the third party? Just run an instance of wireguard on your home network and call it a day.
Not sure why this is down voted other than some people may not consider it ‘casual’. An -arr setup with usenet is fantastic! The setup has a bit of a learning curve, but it’s well documented in multiple places. Once it’s setup, it’s full automated and you just click on the stuff you want.
Look into snapRAID. It does parity based data protection (up to 6 I believe). It’s free, opensource. I use it to run a nightly sync and scrub of ~3% of my total disk space, so in a month it scrubs everything to protect against bit rot. It then shoots me a nightly email with any errors or issues it detects. There is a learning curve, but I’m happy to provide some basic scripts for you to get it running in Windows. You can also run it on top of pooling solution such as Drivepool.
Yep, been using them for ~8 years. Never had a reason to use anything else.
Enjoying .zip myself.
I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit playing EQ on Imperium.
True pirates only get their Internet from the parking lot of a BK lounge, 😂.
I have ~115TB of spinning rust currently. I house them (collection of 8-14TB WD white labels) in a DS4243 in which I replaced the IOM3s with IOM6s. I have this hooked up to a R630 (via an H200 IT controller) running ESXi with several VMs including a Windows VM running SnapRAID+Drivepool to manage the storage. I have the pool setup as a network share and run a docker stack with in which I bind the storage in fstab to my *arr setup, nzbhydra, rdt-client, etc. Someday I may transition to a full Linux setup with freenas, but this setup has served me well for years.
This actually works very well.
It’s my go to for ebooks, but with tv and movies it only pulls ~5% in NZBHydra stats vs the 65% of DS.
You could disable transcoding. But depending on what device you are streaming to this may not be possible. The device would have to support decoding of whatever the stream is encoded as. After several issues with Quicksync errors with an older Intel CPU, I finally tossed an old 1050ti in my Emby box. I patched the driver so it can handle more 1080p streams (https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch). It is solid, fixed all of my buffering/stuttering/artifacting issues and I think it can do 2-3 simultaneous 4k transcodes.
Are you transcoding? If so, need to make sure your CPU or GPU are up to he task.
Agree! I turned on the arr/nzbget/nzbhydra/Emby docker stack several years ago and it just works. I add content from my phone and it’s downloaded and organized in Emby within 10 minutes. I started with several providers and indexers at first and whittled it down to Eweka (Omicron)/Newsdemon (Usenetexpress) for providers and Geek/Drunkenslug/althub for indexers.
MAM is why I have a seedbox.
