  • For me the journey started with this post from 2 years ago by @devidedbyzer0. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/5911320

    Things have changed a bit by now but it gives you a great complete all in one overview of how it all is connected together. One of the things changed is prowlarr instead of the suggested search tool.

    Also I have set up a gluetun tunnel for Qbittorrent connected to airvpn. This requires a few tweaks to sonarr and radarr but not that hard (designate network service in your compose file and some port guiding)

    If docker and docker compose all makes no sense to you first start there. Once you understand you can just have your stack up and running with just one text file of a couple of dozen lines, you’ll appreciate the whole thing and understand why ppl run it this way. I migrated my entire stack last week with only a few tweaks… It was a great experience.

    If you need some tips let me know.





  • I use n8n self hosted @work and node red on my home assistant instance @home. Both have fantastic use cases but for me I don’t see any useful cases at home yet for n8n. Maybe some scraping of specific news items that don’t provide rss. Home assistant has a great direct addon of node red which let’s you integrate your entities directly with node red. Including notifications to the companion app (Android). @work n8n it is great for processing and optimiseing huge chucks of data for our webshop. It can use logins for office365 (yes I hate it and m$) and saved us a ton of work. Since a few weeks you can even store your own set of data in a light version database which is great for storing some reused datasets.
