Hey guys, i want to ask you all how you seed your torrents. I’m considering either using proxmox to create a seedbox or to build a dedicated machine with a vpn that will seedbox.
What VPN do you also use to seed? I have mullvad, for personal use but for seeding it doesn’t have port forwarding.
PS.: if you’re new to this and muddling through, I am happy to send you my notes and the docker compose file. The only thing I had to do outside of that was to mount a network folder so that it was downloading straight into my server and not locally on the Pi
Got so carried away I didn’t answer your actual question. Yes, good speeds but then again the sucker is hooked up to gigabit fiber. But also, my speed is usually not the bottleneck anyway, I think
Haha i actually like that you got carried away. You have a nice system :) i definitely want to have something similar. With gigabit fiber yeah you will hit whatever cap is on the pi board then and its still plenty
Definitely does the job… I have a Plex server that a lot of family and quite a few friends use. It used to be that every time someone had a request, I would walk over to my desktop, find a torrent, wait for it to finish, copy it over the LAN to my NAS running Plex, and there might be days between me remembering to fulfill their requests. Now I get a message, and immediately from my cellphone pull up the qBitTorrent web UI, paste whatever they asked into the built-in search, click add, and reply “will be in Plex in 10-15 minutes”.
Now I want a fully automated ARR stack with one of those tools that allows people to make their own requests and it have it autopirate… So instead of them sending me request messages, I will be opening my Plex to watch TV, see something I never heard of on the “recently added”, and then guess who requested that and text them “hey was that you? Thanks for the new movie/TV show, I love it”

I love that solution! Do you hit decent download and upload speeds on that?

I’d love that. I have a raspberry pi sitting on my desk in front of me :) its not doing anything so i could try it there
Oh I think I misunderstood you - do you want me to PM the docker compose and notes on the setup?
Sure! If you have discord i could add you there too
