Counterfeit

It’s spelled correctly right there in the title.

Yeah it’s Traefik for me as well! Heavy docker user, of course - it’s nice just tossing some labels into my Portainer stacks and letting Traefik figure it out. If I wasn’t so invested with containers I’d be using nginx.

Mostly nothing, except for Home Assistant, which seems to shit the bed every few months. My other services are Docker containers or Proxmox LXCs that just work.

You didn’t happen to change an unprivileged container to privileged, or vice versa, after creating it, right? Doing so can break filesystem permissions, which could have resulted in something like this.

That’s how it works. I don’t think many people use the option.

If it helps, you could choose the keep and unmonitor option, and then once you’ve confirmed that it does indeed impact movies not on your lists (by unmonitoring them), you can disable the cleaning option (or choose a better option for you) and update all your movies back to Monitored.

There are two kinds of datacenter admins, those who aren’t using VMWare, and those who are migrating away from VMWare.

All the *arrs are in the same Github repo.

It’s not as relevant today as it used to be, that’s for sure. Originally it was to limit transcoding of 4K content (which used to be a lot harder), and also to avoid the HDR tone mapping issues with 4K content during transcoding, both of which are largely resolved with newer hardware and Plex software updates.

The only reason I keep them separated now is because most of the folks I share with can’t direct stream 4K content anyway, and so I only share out the 1080p libraries in Plex. It keeps bandwidth usage down and limits having to go to hardware transcoding, which can reduce quality and introduces startup delays. The library I use locally indexes both the 1080p and 4K content, so Plex will always prefer the 4K if it’s there.

If diskspace ever became an issue, I’d probably consider merging the libraries again.

You’re taking it too literally, and missing much of the nuance between philosophy of design and actual implementation details.

The movies app manages movies. That’s its one thing. No need to overcomplicate it. Unix ‘find’ for instance, finds files. That’s its one thing. ‘find’ also lets you filter the results, but that doesn’t change its purpose of finding files.

The fact that *arr apps don’t do things, or are bad at things, has nothing to do with the Unix philosophy. Were these apps combined into a monolith, the same issues would need to be addressed.

There is no right or wrong in a design philosophy. It’s all trade offs. I don’t know anyone who says Unix (or the metaverse) is successful because of a design philosophy. What matters is what you deliver.

I do wish I didn’t need to run a second Radarr instance to have both 1080p and 4K media.
