A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Hi selfhosted, I made a short tutorial for anyone who might want to dive into arr selfhosted software but dont know where to start. I did it on my RPI but docker config will work in any docker friendly environment so adjust it to your scenerio. I will gladly discuss that topic so fell free to talk.

You could make a container for the VPN and have the torrents route through that. Instead of having the whole system go through the VPN. You can then also make the VPN a dependency of the torrent container to prevent it from leaking torrent traffic out of your standard internet connection.

Sure, but im using this setup only for downloading so it doesnt really matter to me. Everything works fine so i stoped tinkering at some point and i just let it work.

OP be careful nobug warned you that your home IP can maybe leak if something happens like VPN disconnect or server crapping out. Btw if you are using torrents you are not only downloading, you are also uploading and sharing the content.

I checked the guide, and its a shame you didnt make it before I was building my arr setup. Thx for sharing

If you're using torrents you aren't only downloading...
