Yeah, learn it from a textbook!

Yeah, you and I have very similar use cases with this. Gluetun, VPN, download clients + *arr stack, I get it. I’ll be sure to update with a solution, if I spot one (when I get around to looking)!

I am also currently dealing with this same exact issue, I’m wanting to run multiple instances of Lidarr for MP3 / FLAC libraries with Gluetun. I don’t have an answer (I haven’t put in the time to try and solve it yet), so apologies if I got your hopes up. I’m just here to confirm that others have this issue too!

Edit: Regarding that documentation, it seems like it’s not saying that changing the port breaks it, it’s just that you have to set both sides of the mapping to be the same. The default is 8080, so instead of 8080:8080, change the mapping to 8081:8081. That’s how I’m reading it, anyways.

I should also mention that the closest that I got to fixing this was to boot up my 2nd Lidarr container separately, setting the port in the Lidarr WebUI console to something different (8687, for example), and then attach it to my Gluetun docker compose file. I did a docker compose pull to update my stack, then docker compose up -d for it. You might try this approach, and tinker around with it. I just haven’t had time to really play with this “solution”

Edit 2: Played more with the solution I mentioned, and that LifeBandit666 found. We both gave the same solution, and the solution seems to work. Just don’t be a dumbass, and remember to do application configuration to your container (unlike me, who, after putting the container into my Gluetun docker compose file, forgot that I didn’t do application configuration and just saw a bunch of errors with Lidarr).

I used to have this issue more often as well. I’ve had good results recently by **not ** pointing out mistakes in replies, but by going back to the message before GPT’s response and saying “do not include y.”

Yeah that’s true. Different styles of deployment, in the end all that matters is that your application is up and running

If I already have a docker environment set up, why not use the container? I use containers for most of my stuff, if I can. It makes many aspects of system management so much easier.

Ah, I see. Looks like some other people in this thread gave you some good info, I’ll have to keep this in mind if I ever need to change my approach. Happy to hear you got a good answer!

My solution to this was a radicale docker container, with DAVx5 on f-droid. Very lightweight, just works without much configuration needed. I don’t use my phone for email much, so I just use thunderbird for my email client

Yes. I believe the paid version only gives you more possible nodes (where the transcoding is done), and more reports? But yes, you have the entire suite of tools necessary in the free version. It’s worked great for me, I’ve used it for a year and a half now

Agreed. I’ve converted my library all to 265 using Tdarr, I’m up to 11.5 TB of saved space. I like having all my media be uniform for my Plex server, and Tdarr is a nice and easy tool to achieve it

FMD2 (for auto-downloading manga), Komga (for hosting manga on a local server), and Tachiyomi for a self-hosted solution, if you’re interested.

Hmm, I’ve never looked into qemu. Do you use a GPU in your environment? It passes through to your Windows VM fine?

On my host PC (Windows Server), I’m already running a VM in Hyper-V that operates behind a VPN for my *arr environment. I’m worried about resources and resource allocation if I add another VM just for docker. Basically I’m looking at 3 environments - Windows Server for my windows stuff, Debian server for my *arr stuff (this all has to be behind a VPN), and a Linux docker environment. It makes sense to me to go the Proxmox route now that I’ve considered it, don’t you think? Not asking because I’m trying to convince you, just interested in others perspectives.

That’s what I’ve been seeing, but I run enough stuff on Windows that has poor support for Linux that makes it a toss-up. Do you think it’s feasible to run Docker on Linux in a Hyper-V container on Windows? I’m really trying to evaluate my options, I’ve considered Proxmox to separate my Windows and Linux stuff; currently I am running an instance of Ubuntu in Hyper-V for my Linux stuff. Do you think Proxmox is more viable?
