ARR Stack Help
Good morning, everyone. I could really use some help. I’ve watched several videos and read through various guides on this topic, but I still have a few questions.
I haven't really looked into the details anymore, but I’m assuming the standard approach involves a complete fresh installation. However, that is not the case for me. I have a separate Jellyfin server that also functions as a media NAS. For historical reasons, this is a Windows machine featuring an SMB share, and Jellyfin runs directly on that machine. For the time being, this setup cannot be changed, as I currently have absolutely no way to write the data stored on the RAID to any other location. Furthermore, I have a separate Proxmox server. Running on it is, for instance, a Docker instance—unfortunately, also managed via Portainer. Is it possible to modify the provided `compose.yaml` file so that, for example, I do not need to deploy a separate Jellyfin instance, and so that the entire ARR stack can communicate properly with my existing installation via SMB?
Should I install the stack within my existing Docker environment, or should I create something entirely new—specifically, either a new VM or a new LXC container? Should I configure this as privileged or unprivileged, and why? Furthermore, what is the deal with Portainer, and why are there repeated warnings against using it for deployment?
And why, for that matter, would you take one massive configuration file and try to install everything all at once, instead of handling each program individually? And which programs do you even want to have? There are so many of them, and I’m really losing track of it all.
And finally—what is the deal with these indexers? Because, once again, none of the instructions actually explain exactly what they are or where to get them. That seems to be the sticking point, as I don't need English-language content, but rather material in a different language.
