I’ll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It’s not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

    Why do you run multiple *arr containers? What can two or three do that one couldn’t?

      Radarr/Sonarr can’t handle multiple versions of the same movie/episode, so a lot of people have a second instance for 4K movies (so they can have both a 1080p and a 4K version of the same movie). Also if you have a lot of anime it can be worth it to have a Sonarr instance configured just for that

      The other reply is right!

      • I run 3 radarr: 1 for 1080p, 1 for 4k and 1 for 3d. (I share the 1080p, it’s bilingual too, the 3d one is for fun)
      • I run 2 sonarr: 1 for English, 1 for French (since most often the series aren’t bilingual, they’re one language or the other)
      • I run 2 readarr: 1 for ebooks and 1 for audiobooks. (Sometimes I want the same book in audio form and in text)

        This is probably a dumb question but how do you run Sonarr twice?

        Also, where do you get your French content? I’m having a hell of a time finding places

          Lack of knowledge isn’t dumb, it’s just lack of knowledge. You can’t know everything.

          I run 2 docker containers, named slightly differently (my setup is a bit more complicated within a stack though). Then I map a different port for the FR one so it doesn’t conflict. Of course, you need a different config volume. Then once the container is up, you can I link my FR sonarr to my EN one. So when I request something on my EN Sonarr, it also adds it to my FR Sonarr.

          I also do that with movies, but for HD and 4K instead. I manage multi-language differently.

          I’ll PM you for my source of French content.

            Thank you for the detailed response. This might be the shove I need to look into docker haha.

            I would appreciate a pm with a source - thank you!
