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.

Looks awesome! How do you use tdarr? Does it transcode all media picked up by sonarr/radarr?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not OP but yes. You configure your desired output format as well as a number of other options like stripping subtitles etc.. and just let it rip. It's saved me terabytes of space with my collection.

I use Radarr and Sonarr containers with the Sickbeard MP4 Automator built in, and run some post-processing scripts in both Radarr and Sonarr to get everything in M4V (Apple household).

Does Tdarr essentially do the same thing?

It can. I'm actually using it to transcode from h.264 to h.265. But yes, you can also transcode to different formats, codecs, audio etc. I just started using it, but It seems pretty flexible and extensible

Awesome, thanks. I’ll take a look (along with Homepage!).

Yep exactly like the other commenter said :) I don't have a discreet GPU in my server, and I didn't want it using CPU to transcode, so I set up a node on my gaming machine. So the server queues up files and the GPU in my PC transcodes them. Blew my mind when I got it working
