Yo my Kr0nsumer, what's like the way to go about a Plex server in combination with radarr/sonarr?

I tried that on my current pc once but it had to be on 24/7 for it to pull the content.

I'm looking for something energy efficient and powerful.

So there’s a couple ways to go about it

You can go energy efficient and powerful by using a mini pc. Like a NUC. You can buy these through eBay from offices mad cheap. Make sure it’s an intel CPU with quick sync.

Then I’d install Linux if comfortable with that, if not windows is fine honestly just uses a bit more power and is more resource friendly.

Once you decide what you’re doing just look up tutorials how to install radarr and sonarr and set it up and your folders. Also set up the settings so it grabs the quality you want, set up the profiles / follow guides

OR

If you wanna go SUPER energy efficient like I do, you can run a server on a raspberry pi connected to a hard drive (or multiple connected together via a software raid config, kinda wonky but it works).

But for this your client / device you’re streaming from MUST direct play everything. You can’t transcode. So you need an Apple TV or a shield pro for it to actually work. But it’s super efficient and doesn’t cost me anything in electric bills to run. Legit probably cost me Penny’s.

But again you must direct play everything. But it gets the job done and I watch 4k remux’s off it.

OR third option

subscribe to an underground plex / Emby server with literally every movie / tv show ever made for cheaper than a single susbcription. I can lead you in right direction if you wanna go that route

In the trenches rn trying to get my entire set up automated

I enjoy the struggle though

Once it’s set up never touch it again sonarr and radarr do all my work for my personal server

TwistedFantasy

think im finally in the clear

im curious from reading above bc i think i have the same server setup with a raspberry pi + external HDD, does torrenting/vpn on the server noticeably slow down your plex streams? I haven't run any real tests but i feel like its not as fast idk

Doesn’t slow it down for me in my experience. Direct playing doesn’t take that much power at all.

after a few weeks of playing around with my server i think its finally complete

got overseerr set up with sonarr and radarr so that i can send requests to my server to download stuff even away from home

other users on my server can also add things without me needing to lift a finger
