Thanks for this rabbithole @cavedog :) I now have a 1 user ombi/plex/radarr/sonorr/jackett/5TB rclone onedrive setup

For some reason swizzin had configuration issues for me so I went the scratch route but it's all up and running. My compute instance is using 10c per day though... Any idea what could be causing it ?

I'm guessing I need to run a VPN on the instance if I'm going sailing right? Would warp do the trick or would I need to purchase something? (I'm trying to keep this setup free)

What resources did you use when creating an instance?

Just a note with Oracle. Your first 30 days is a trial. After that they disable all your instances and you need to deploy again. When this happens just detach the storage from the disabled instance and deploy a new one with the same storage.

When it comes to downloads I use real debrid mainly because it's fast direct links.

If you want to use torrents it shouldn't be a problem but you can setup like cloudflare war with wireguard on it.

Thanks for the rest of the advice!

That looks fine. Exactly like mine.

You can also enable ipv6 if you want to play around with that.

Remember if you mount OneDrive to use the rclone flag --onedrive-chunk-size 150M flag for the best speeds.

If you don't like ombi or just want to see how others work you can also install the snap package of overseerr.

Lol.. for S&G I did a speed test

Yes you get a 4Gbps connection. The host is probably on a 10Gbps nic. They use Liquid Telecoms for international transit and peer locally at NAP JHB with all ISP's that peer there. They then use Liquid to reach other areas like DUR and CPT.

Pretty decent actually. That is why I suggested https://github.com/rogerfar/rdt-client with the 4 Euro sub. They have Cloudflare and G-Core CDN in JHB so you can download from Real-Debrid at ~380MB/s or so.
 
Been using this Plex Share for over 7 days now and am impressed, loads of stuff.

Also downloading episodes I'm missing on my plex nas which is nice, fill in the gaps.

Also added a couple free shares as well and even that works well.
 
@cavedog I have an issue that I'm hoping you can assit with. I can get *arr to copy the files to local root media folders once downloaded but not to the rclone mounted onedrive. Pretty sure it's a permission related thing.

Everything runs under the ubuntu user and group and this is what the permissions look like without rclone active

ubuntu@ubuntu:/media$ ls -la
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 1 06:46 .
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Nov 4 06:56 ..
drwxrwxrwx 2 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Nov 1 06:56 PlexOnedrive

Once rclone mounts it changes to this (assuming this is normal as root would be doing the mounting):
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Nov 4 07:23 PlexOnedrive

Any folders created underneath it then inherits these root permissions and I'm guessing that's why it's not working.

My rclone.service looks like this:
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/rclone mount \
--config=/home/ubuntu/.config/rclone/rclone.conf \
--allow-other \
--file-perms 0777 \
--vfs-cache-mode writes \
--dir-cache-time=60m \
--onedrive-chunk-size 150M \
--cache-info-age=60m OneDrive:Media /media/PlexOnedrive
ExecStop=/bin/fusermount -u /media/PlexOnedrive
Restart=always
RestartSec=10

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target


Any ideas ?


EDIT: Weird thing is that I can manually in the terminal create directories and files as the ubuntu user post-mount.

If you mount as root you need these flags also

--allow-other
--umask 002

Then if the folder was created as root you need to chown it or change the folder permissions for other users to be able to access it.

Pretty sure I had umask there before trying file-perms but will give it another bash.. thanks

I see you are using the ubuntu user. Did you install swizzin or doing everything manually? If you did make sure you are using the same swizzin username or you might need to run it as a specific user.

Adding that umask did the trick.
Thanks

PS. All done manually using ubuntu user for everything

Sonarr is a service you run on your pc that manages your series downloads for you. You can search for any series, choose a quality etc, and it will search for new episodes as they become available (it has a calendar with all the air times of each episode). Sonarr then connect to your nzb or torrent program to do the download for you. So you don't have to manually do anything except choose which shows you want.

Radarr does the same for movies. Ombi I haven't used, but looks like an easy way for other people to add series to your plex library that they want to watch if you are sharing.

Which indexer is best to use for solarr?
