I just started to selfhosting services and want to try with the *Arr ecosystem. What newbie tutorial recomend for start with it?
I am currently learning by deploying docker containers in rpi5
Thanks for your time and patience
A lot of people use The trash guides
The Servarr Wiki is useful as well
Trash is for setting up, wiki for troubleshooting.
I don’t really have a tutorial suggestion but this is a great resource if you haven’t seen it yet:
https://wiki.servarr.com/I would also recommend using dockge to help create and manage your stacks.
When you’re setting up the services, go through each section and take note of what you don’t understand. The services tie into each other so it may be beneficial to set up your stack first (docker compose YAML text file, managed by dockge) and configure stuff together.
Wow dockge is something I’ve wanted for a long time but didn’t know existed.
Time to finally dump portainer.
Plus1 for dockge. Started using yesterday (with podman), moving from portainer (with docker). And I have around 50 stacks, so not just a few *arr. It’s really good, and the option to work directly via CLI or the web interface is really nice!
And miss out on all the struggle and suffering of figuring out how to build a compose file over many hours? Who would want to miss out on that?
All kidding aside, I had not heard about dockge. I might give it a try, see what it can do with my existing compose file.
Currently I’m using casaOS that does the deployment automatically. I installed portainer to have more control of the containers.
I’m going to read both links. Thanks!!
Ezarr is a pretty great little project for getting started. Just clone the repo and follow the README and it should just be plug and play.
Someone posted a pretty good guide on Lemmy about 1-2 months ago, I think it was on the selfhosted community. Maybe take a look there?
EDIT: Found it: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/5911487
I asked perplexity.ai to guide me through it all and I both learned as well as getting it all working.
You could use something like DietPi OS which has an installer for all the *arr services built in.
have several systems and vm (all x64, don’t have any sbc here) running dietpi. love it.
saw https://runtipi.io/ posted elsewhere recently. which essentially results in the same thing, but is based on docker.
Huh I have been meaning to try working with docker so this seems like a good starting point! Thanks for sharing.
