Thank you. :)
I have also never posted on lemmy!
Half of that is the arr stack, some is management stuff, the rest is standalone stuff and not interlocked at all I think?
I'd consider something for authentication (like authelia or authentik) early on, so you don't have to convert all your services at once but can integrate them when you set them up.
Funkwhale is more of a thing for publicly sharing your audio, not for personal use, even though it might work as well. I think Navidrome is the most popular thing to stream your own stuff.
Generally I'd start with few services and learn your way around the whole stack before firing up 20 compose stacks without knowing what you're doing.
You might also want to think about a reverse proxy so you can access your stuff via subdomains instead of different ports.
Navidrome
+10 for Navidrome โ solid piece of software.
I canโt recall specifics, it was a while ago now, but I was having issues with third party apps retrieving any more than a small subset of my music library from Navidrome. I switched to gonic (another subsonic implementation) and it worked right away.

Huh... well, glad you got it all worked out. Navidrome is the first thing to get fired up every morning. I can't start the day without my blues, jazz, soul, r&b, and funk.

For this part, i'm not sure what you mean by convert all my services? are you talking like a 2FA app or similar?
Not necessarily 2FA, but single sign on (SSO), so you don't have to log into every single service with it's own password but have a central identity authority that your services query.
Looks good OP. Quite the handful of app instances. What are you running this on?
Half of a potato with a bit of a sprout growing out of the top.
Well....look at Mr. Money bags over here with his half potato. Why, back in my day, all we had was just a sliver of a potato and we were happy to have it.
It's kinda fucked right now lol but it's an:
Nice! Rock on with yo' bad self.
Chamge portainer and watchtower with Komodo.
Lowkey I want to get a job as a devops engineer eventually (may make a new post asking for advice) but I was thinking of trying to set up my homelab using kubernetes. I know it's overkill but I need the project experience and want to learn it, so I was considering LocalHost (self hosted aws-like thingy I think) + terraform / kubernetes to config everything
If you're big into music, you should add slskd to your stack. Its not automated but you can find anything on it. It uses Soulseek servers and is p2p like old Napster, etc.
For usenet, I like SabNZBD better than NZBGet, just my opinion but maybe check it out.
That's sick!! I'll look into it ๐๐๐

Lidarr is more or less abandoned, FYI.
Do you have a good alternative to recommend? I also found that lidarr sorta sucks compared to sonarr and radarr
I haven't found one yet. My workflow is to use nicotine+ to find flac music, convert to 256bit opus, properly tag with Picard, rsync with my Navidrome library and trigger a scan. It's clean for me and lots of it is scripted, but that wouldn't work for everyone.
Radarr and Sonarr work because the workflow of show -> season -> S01E01.Title.extension (even simpler for movies) is well known and accepted as more or less a standard for organizing video media.
Music, on the other hand, is very individual. Some like strict folder organization, others are particular about naming conventions, others are picky about tags, there is no standard for handling playlists, off-beat, rare, or bootleg music is enjoyed by some, some like compilation albums, etc.
If you look at the complaints for lidarr, most of the issues stem from folks not fitting lidarr into their workflow, which is totally valid, but not something the Lidarr devs could do anything about.
Ultimately, Lidarr failed because metadata fetching became onerous to maintain.
Ahhh that makes sense! I think I'll just search for some of the other music alternatives mentioned in this thread
Additional stuff you may be interested in:
Caddy for reverse proxy (accessing your services with a nice URL instead of IP address and port numbers)
PiHole for DNS-level ad-blocking and other useful router functionality
Look for a backup solutions for your config files, maybe you can handle this at Proxmox level but I don't have experience with that.
I'll def get pihole! Meant to write it down but forgot. Caddy seems super helpful too
For backing up config files, would GitHub be fine? Ik microslop bought it (boooo! tomato!) but is there another foss alternative I should use instead?
Be careful before uploading your config files to a public location like GitHub, you don't want to inadvertently publish some secrets like passwords, API keys and such. A copy to an external drive should do the trick just fine as a starting point.
Sweet, I'll throw it on a flash drive for the time being, then eventually also get it on my NAS after it's all set up
