I’ll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It’s not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

    I run everything with saltbox (cloudbox fork) it’s ansible, it’s automated, and I hardly have issues. I host from home but have a 10gb uplink.

    Being consistent and seeding is what makes everything work. So my best advice is seed! (Private trackers are a no brainer). Using a few and backups. I have replaced all the streaming services with a self service portal and all I need to do is updates and every few year upgrade the hardware.

    I have and do purchase lots of movies and entertainment. But I’m tired of services deleting shit.

      Fuck outta here (as i cry in american)

      Swizzin is definitely the most prominent solution for selfhosting a seedbox. I highly recommend it.

        I am American!!! Swizzin is much easier then my ansible answer.

        Fiber is getting bigger and I’m in a small city. Only had cable and dsl and I could see downtown San Francisco…

          Oh man, now I’m even more jealous.

          I really like ansible and have played around with using it to deploy a seedbox. I still want to get it working, but I’ve given up on doing it all purely through ansible. At this point, I’m thinking the best route is using ansible to deploy swizzin with an environment file and unattended install
