Full disclosure, I'm pretty new to selfhosting myself, and I haven't written a guide like this before, but hopefully this scatterbrained writeup is enough for someone out there lmao

This is just what works for me and how I set it up. Always open to ideas for improvement as well.

Should put a note on your blog that Lidarr’s Metadata database is being rebuilt, currently the Lidarr APi spits a bunch of 5xx errors when searching for artists/albums/etc.

https://github.com/Lidarr/Lidarr/issues/5498

If you currently have a library on the stable build the Lidarr team could use some help building the cache, they made this tool:

https://github.com/DeviantEng/lidarr-cache-warmer

It’ll search every artist in your Lidarr library so that the new database has a cache to quickly call upon.

I think I made a note about that, but you're right I should make it more apparent. I did use the blampe/hearring-aid build here which solves the issue for the short term, but I'll add a clearer note to futureproof it for when the main builds are fixed.
