In which order do I install all this ? Any tips for my metadata not to get smashed like last time I tried ? 😭🥲🤣

Don't import your exusting collection into Radarr or Sonarr for management. Just use them to manage new downloads. That might keep them from messing with your existing data.

1. Get Jellyfin up and running

2. Install qBittorrent and make sure it's downloads show up in Jellyfin

3. Install Prowlarr, and set up some indexers.

4. Install Sonarr and Radarr and link them to Prowlarr and qBittorrent.

- Verify they can find get torrents from Prowlarr and send then to qBittorrent.

- Verify they rename and copy files to desired folders once qBittorrent finished downloading.

5. Once all that is up and running, install Jellyseerr and connect it to Sonarr and Radarr and Jellyfin.

For step 2, Jellyfin and qbitorrent are on separate machine. If jelly is on machine A and qbit on machine B, I make sure that the download of qbit are on machine A, in the same folder as the library of jelly. What about tv shows vs movies. They don’t go in same folder

I have movies in rating folders (G/PG/PG-13/R), and TVShows in kids or parents folders, all on the same machine.

Kids only get access to G and PG. If a PG movie gets to risque, it goes into PG-13

I mean when you download with qbit. It all goes in same folder. The way I have my library setup, movies and tv shows are in 2 separate directories

You set up root folders in Sonarr and Radarr, and choose a root folder in Jellyseerr or Radarr/Sonarr when you request a video.

When qBittorrent completes, Radarr/Sonarr will rename and copy the qBittorrent files to the folder you chose, leaving two copies of the files. One for Jellyfin, and one that is still being shared via qBittorrent. You need to set up qBittorrent to deleted its files after certain a time limit or a share ratio limit.

I setup all the apps (qbit, prowlarr, radarr, sonarr, lidarr). I requested a few movies with radarr. I get a download warning: qbittorrent is reporting an error. When I check the logs in qbit, I see “error:read-only file system”. How do I fix this? I set acl permissions to modify access in radarr, sonarr, lidarr and qbit, for downloads folder and the respective media folder

nostr:npub1gnwpctdec0aa00hfy4lvadftu08ccs9677mr73h9ddv2zvw8fu9smmerrq maybe you have an idea why this isn’t working. Prowlarr, radarr and qbitorrent are installed on truenas scale. I request a movie in radarr, prowlarr and radarr talk to eachother. Then the download is added to qbit but there’s a an error: read-only file system. Not sure how to fix it

It could be a classic Linux permissions error.

Make sure that folder is owned by the user that is running qbit. It really, really depends on how you did your setup or how you installed qbitTorrent, but a lot of times it creates its own user and you can have permission issues if that user cannot access that specific folder. For example, if the folder you were trying to download into was made by Root, a normal user with regular permissions wouldn't be able to access that folder.

Qbitorrent’s user and group is apps (568) same user as all the arr apps. So apps would have to create the download folder? As opposed to me creating it manually?

node 3w ago

Is there a fool proof way to reinstall all of it? Like start with the data set, then install qbit?

node 0mo ago

nostr:npub1fkluklzamwpyn7w8awxzrcqe7z8mldlvthk4gz9kz3vsh6udz62s9qj48l in step 2, why do I have to make sure that qbitorrent downloads show up in Jellyfin if I’m only using radar and sonar to manage new downloads? Wouldn’t that be what’s done in step 4? Making sure that they rename and copy the files to the proper folder (my existing media library)?

That's to verify qBittorrent is working properly before moving on to setting up Radarr and Sonarr. It's a verification and satisfaction of accomplishment step.

node 0mo ago

I’ve been using qbittorent for a long time. I know it works. You think I should still change its destination folder?

FreedomTech 0mo ago

No. Leave the qBit destonation folder. The step is more a proof of functionality, and having qBit download directly to a Jellyfin folder is an easy way to do that.

Radarr and Sonarr will copy the files once the torrent(s) finish. No need to change qBit's default destination.

node 0mo ago

So prowlarr finds the torrent, qbit downloads it and radarr/donate makes a copy in my Jellyfin library and renames the files?

FreedomTech 0mo ago

Prowlarr finds a bunch of torrents and gives the list to radarr or sonarr, who then choose from that list (according to their rules), and then they tell qbit to download the torrent. Once qbit finishes, radarr/sonarr copy the filed to the folder that you selected. You select the folder in Jellyseerr when your request the movie.

node 0mo ago

What’s jellyseer? Is that another app I need?

John 0mo ago

All this shit I'd rather just manually download what I want

FreedomTech 3w ago

You want Jellyseer. Makes it nice to browse movies and request downloads. You can also give others Jellyfin accounts that they can use in Jellyseerr to request movies with.

You will always have the option to download manually in qbit just like you've always had.

It is a pain to set up, but once you have it set up, going back to the old system is like giving up air conditioning.

node 3w ago

Can’t I look up movies and tv shows with prowlarr?

node 0mo ago

How do you setup qbitorrent as a download client inside prowlarr? It’s asking for username and password but there’s nowhere to set that up in qbit (I installed a new version on truenas scale, easier for permissions)

node 0mo ago

Nevermind I think I found the info
