Best setup for new PI4 Download Box (lemmynsfw.com)

submitted 2 years ago by MSKX to c/[email protected]

Like many others on here, I've finally had enough of the constant splintering of content into more and more separate services, each offering less value.

Anyway, so I have a new 8gb Pi4b on the way and I want to set up a "download box".

Ideally something fairly automated using NZBs. Years ago I used to use Sickbeard + SABNZBD+ on a small windows box. But I wanted a small, simple, ultra low power fanless box, so I've gone for a Pi4.

I'm aware of the *arr apps, although I haven't used any of them yet. I'm thinking a bunch of the *arr apps + SABNZBD+ and just keep using the Plex instance running on my Netgear NAS as the front end (got the lifetime Plex Pass). So I just need the download apps running in my Pi4 for now.

Question is: what do I put onto my Pi4 as the best base on top of which to build all of this?

Unfortunately I'm a Linux newb, so I want something fairly simple which can run all the apps I need and mount my NAS for storage.

What setup do people think is best for the Pi4?

If you want a headless setup, you should check out dietpi. It works really well and makes it easy to setup *arr apps

I second dietpi. Its dietpi or raspbian for me. Whatever you chose consider running everything in docker containers. Start with portainer, rly nice web gui that you can use to install everything else. Make a single docker-compose for all other services and load it as a stack in portainer. Enjoy the ride 😎

Thanks, will look that up.

This is a bit older bit still has good information.

He walks through setting up Raspberry Pi's and the Arrs. Can use his setup or just the information.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/results?sp=mAEA&

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Awesome! Thanks for that.

Any Linux distro should work for the setup you want. I have radarr, sonarr, sabnzbd, deluge and jellyfin running on an Arch setup, but something more accessible like Ubuntu or Debian should work fine (although I'm not familiar with whether the Pi4 can power those heavier distros). If you're comfortable with the command line, it doesn't matter much which distro you pick since you can install and configure all those apps over ssh.

[–] MSKX 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

OK, thanks.

Yeah I'd rather not be too reliant on my (limited) command line skills!

Hopefully the Pi4 with 8gb is comfortable enough with a slightly heavier distro.

Dietpi, which has already been recommended, has a web dashboard you can use to control a bunch of stuff so you don't have to have a gui

I knew nothing and now I have a fully working server accessible from anywhere by reading this and other articles on the site. https://www.smarthomebeginner.com/docker-media-server-2022/

Out of curiosity, what hardware are you using?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Intel NUC, got it off eBay for £50 cos Pi is too expensive.

8GB ram, 250GB ssd and 4th gen i3

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Look into dietpi. I'm running a pi4 with dietpi, the *arrs, nzbget and kodi directly hooked up to my TV. It just works.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

You might wanna check out Yunohost.org. The base os is Debian 11.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

My pi setup was Ubuntu or debian with mergerfs, docker and portainer running Plex arrs and such
