-Riding on my excitement of having a good internet connection and having setup my *home server* now it's time to self host a media server for movies, series and anime. I'll be exposing my stuff on a subdomain only so I can access it while out of home and for SSL certificates (not required), but shouldn't be necessary and instead you can use a VPN ([how to set up](https://blog.luevano.xyz/a/vpn_server_with_openvpn.html)). For your reference, whenever I say "Starr apps" (\*arr apps) I mean the family of apps such as Sonarr, Radarr, Readarr, Lidarr, etc..
-
-Most of my config is based on the [TRaSH-Guides](https://trash-guides.info/) (will be mentioned as "TRaSH" going forward). Specially get familiar with the [TRaSH: Native folder structure](https://trash-guides.info/Hardlinks/How-to-setup-for/Native/) and with the [TRaSH: Hardlinks and instant moves](https://trash-guides.info/Hardlinks/Hardlinks-and-Instant-Moves/). Will also use the default configurations based on the respective documentation for each Starr application and service, except when stated otherwise.
+Second part of my self hosted media server. This is a direct continuation of [Set up qBitTorrent with Jackett for use with Starr apps](https://blog.luevano.xyz/a/torrenting_with_qbittorrent.html), which will be mentioned as "first part" going forward. Sonarr, Radarr, Bazarr (Starr apps) and Jellyfin setups will be described in this part. Same introduction applies to this entry, regarding the use of documentation and configuration.
Everything here is performed in ==arch btw== and all commands should be run as root unless stated otherwise.
-==Also kindly note that I do not condone the use of BitTorrent for illegal activities. I take no responsibility for what you do when setting up anything shown here. It is for you to check your local laws before using automated downloaders such as Sonarr and Radarr.==

# Prerequisites
-The specific programs are mostly recommendations, if you're familiar with something else or want to change things around, feel free to do so but everything will be written with them in mind.
-
-If you want to expose to a (sub)domain, then similar to my early [tutorial](https://blog.luevano.xyz/tag/@tutorial.html) entries (specially the [website](https://blog.luevano.xyz/a/website_with_nginx.html) for the reverse proxy plus certificates):
-
-- `nginx` for the reverse proxy.
-- `certbot` for the SSL certificates.
-- `ufw` for the firewall.
-- `yay` to install AUR packages.
- - I mentioned how to install and use it on my previous entry: [Manga server with Komga: yay](https://blog.luevano.xyz/a/manga_server_with_komga.html#yay).
-- An **A** (and/or **AAAA**) or a **CNAME** for `jellyfin`.
- - Optionally, another one for all automation software (Jackett, Starr apps, etc.). You can use one subdomain per service, but I'll put them all under `isos` in the examples shown.
-
-## Directory structure
-
-Basically following [TRaSH: Native folder structure](https://trash-guides.info/Hardlinks/How-to-setup-for/Native/) except for the directory permissions part, I'll do the same as with my [Komga setup guide](https://blog.luevano.xyz/a/manga_server_with_komga#set-default-directory-permissions.html) to stablish default group permissions.
-
-
-The desired behaviour is: set `servarr` as group ownership, set write access to group and whenever a new directory/file is created, inherit these permission settings. `servarr` is going to be a service user and I'll use the root of a mounted drive at `/mnt/a`.
-
-1. Create a service user called `servarr` (it could just be a group, too):
-
-```sh
-useradd -r -s /usr/bin/nologin -M -c "Servarr applications" servarr
-```
-
-2. Create the `torrents` directory and set default permissions:
-
-```sh
-cd /mnt/a # change this according to your setup
-mkdir torrents
-chown servarr:servarr torrents
-chmod g+w torrents
-chmod g+s torrents
-setfacl -d -m g::rwx torrents
-setfacl -d -m o::rx torrents
-```
-
-3. Check that the permissions are set correctly (`getfacl torrents`)
-
-```
-# file: torrents/
-# owner: servarr
-# group: servarr
-# flags: -s-
-user::rwx
-group::rwx
-other::r-x
-default:user::rwx
-default:group::rwx
-default:other::r-x
-```
-
-4. Create the subdirectories you want with any user (I'll be using `servarr` personally):
-
-```sh
-mkdir torrents/{tv,movies,anime}
-chown -R servarr: torrents
-```
-
-5. Finally repeat steps 2 - 4 for the `media` directory.
-
-The final directory structure should be the following:
-
-```
-root_dir
-├── torrents
-│ ├── movies
-│ ├── music
-│ └── tv
-└── media
- ├── movies
- ├── music
- └── tv
-```
-
-Where `root_dir` is `/mnt/a` in my case. This is going to be the reference for the following applications set up.
-
-Later, add the necessary users to the `servarr` group if they need write access, by executing:
-
-```sh
-gpasswd -a <USER> servarr
-```
-
-# Jackett
-
-[Jackett](https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett) is a "proxy server" (or "middle-ware") that translates queries from apps (such as the Starr apps in this case) into tracker-specific http queries. Note that there is an alternative called [Prowlarr](https://github.com/Prowlarr/Prowlarr) that is better integrated with most if not all Starr apps, requiring less maintenance; I'll still be sticking with Jackett, though.
-
-Install from the AUR with `yay`:
-
-```sh
-yay -S jackett
-```
-
-I'll be using the default `9117` port, but change accordingly if you decide on another one.
-
-## Reverse proxy
-
-I'm going to have most of the services under the same subdomain, with different subdirectories. Create the config file `isos.conf` at the usual `sites-available/enabled` path for `nginx`:
-
-```nginx
-server {
- listen 80;
- server_name isos.yourdomain.com;
-
- location /jack { # you can change this to jackett or anything you'd like, but it has to match the jackett config on the next steps
- proxy_pass http://localhost:9117; # change the port according to what you want
-
- proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
- proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
- proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
- proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $http_host;
- proxy_redirect off;
- }
-}
-```
-
-This is the basic reverse proxy config as shown in [Jackett: Running Jackett behind a reverse proxy](https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett#running-jackett-behind-a-reverse-proxy). The rest of the services will be added under different `location` block on their respective steps.
-
-### SSL certificate
-
-Create/extend the certificate by running:
-
-```sh
-certbot --nginx
-```
-
-That will automatically detect the new subdomain config and create/extend your existing certificate(s). Restart the `nginx` service for changes to take effect:
-
-```sh
-systemctl restart nginx.service
-```
-
-## Start using Jackett
-
-You can now `start`/`enable` the `jackett.service`:
-
-```sh
-systemctl enable jackett.service
-systemctl start jackett.service
-```
-
-It will autocreate the default configuration under `/var/lib/jackett/ServerConfig.json`, which we need to edit at least to change the `BasePathOverride` to match what we used in the `nginx` config:
-
-```json
-{
- "Port": 9117,
- "SomeOtherConfigs": "some_other_values",
- "BasePathOverride": "/jack",
- "MoreConfigs": "more_values",
-}
-```
-
-Also modify the `Port` if you changed it. Restart the `jackett` service:
-
-```sh
-systemctl restart jackett.service
-```
-
-It should now be available at `https://isos.yourdomain.com/jack`. Add an admin password right away by scroll down and until the first config setting; don't forget to click on "Set Password". You can change any other config you want from the Web UI, too (you'll need to click on "Apply server settings").
-
-### Indexers
-
-For Jackett, an indexer is just a configured tracker for some of the commonly known torrent sites. Jackett comes with a lot of pre-configured public and private indexers which usually have multiple URLs (mirrors) per indexer, useful when the main torrent site is down. Some indexers come with extra features/configuration depending on what the site specializes on.
-
-To add an indexer click on the "+ Add Indexer" at the top of the Web UI and look for indexers you want, then click on the "+" icon on the far-most right for each indexer or select the ones you want (clicking on the checkbox on the far-most left of the indexer) and scroll all the way to the bottom to click on "Add Selected". They then will show as a list with some available actions such as "Copy RSS Feed", "Copy Torznab Feed", "Copy Potato Feed", a button to search, configure, delete and test the indexer, as shown below:
-
-![Jacket: configured indexers](${SURL}/images/b/jack/jack_configured_indexers.png "Jackett: configured indexers")
-
-You can manually test the indexers by doing a basic search to see if they return anything, either by searching on each individual indexer by clicking on the magnifying glass icon on the right of the indexer or clicking on "Manual Search" button which is next to the "+ Add Indexer" button at the top right.
-
-Explore each indexer's configuration in case there is stuff you might want to change.
-
-## FlareSolverr
-
-[FlareSolverr](https://github.com/FlareSolverr/FlareSolverr) is used to bypass *certain* protection that some sites have. This is not 100% necessary and only needed for some trackers sometimes.
-
-You could install from the AUR with `yay`:
-
-```sh
-yay -S flaresolverr
-```
-
-But at the time of writing, the package wont work for the following reasons:
+Same prerequisites as with the [First part: Prerequisites](https://blog.luevano.xyz/a/torrenting_with_qbittorrent.html#prerequisites) plus:
-- The `python-selenium` package that it requires doesn't build (actually it just doesn't pass the tests).
-- The `python-selenium` package is a higher version than the required by `flaresolverr`, and it's a breaking change version (they don't follow semantic versioning), so even if you are able to install `python-selenium` (by just removing the checks) it will still fail due to this check.
+- An **A** (and/or **AAAA**) or a **CNAME** for `jellyfin`. Only if you want to expose Jellyfin to a subdomain.
-### Manual installation
+The [First part: Directory structure](https://blog.luevano.xyz/a/torrenting_with_qbittorrent.html#directory-structure) is the same here. The `servarr` user and group should be available, too.
-For now the best next thing is to manually set it up using a python virtual environment. I'll be taking some elements from the AUR package. Only package requirements are `chromium` and `xorg-server-xvfb`, needed for the `selenium` webdriver and a virtual X server.
-
-Install dependencies via pacman:
-
-```sh
-pacman -S chromium xorg-server-xvfb
-```
-
-Create a new service user called `flaresolverr` ([flaresolverr.sysusers](https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/flaresolverr.sysusers?h=flaresolverr)):
-
-```sh
-useradd -r -s /usr/bin/nologin -c "FlareSolverr" -d "/opt/flaresolverr" flaresolverr
-```
-
-Clone the [FlareSolverr](https://github.com/FlareSolverr/FlareSolverr) git repo in `/opt` and get inside it:
-
-```sh
-cd /opt
-git clone git@github.com:FlareSolverr/FlareSolverr.git
-mv FlareSolverr/ flaresolverr
-cd flaresolverr
-```
-
-Create a python environment called `.venv`, activate it and install the requirements:
-
-```sh
-python -m venv .venv
-source .venv/bin/activate
-pip install --upgrade pip
-pip install -r requirements.txt
-```
-
-Finally just change the ownership of the `/opt/flaresolverr` directory:
-
-```sh
-chown -R flaresolverr:flaresolverr /opt/flaresolverr/
-```
-
-#### Creating a systemd service
-
-You could just execute `python src/flaresolverr.py` while in the python virtual environment, but we want it as a service. Create a systemd service file `flaresolverr.service` ([flaresolverr.service](https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/flaresolverr.service?h=flaresolverr) with few modifications) in `/etc/systemd/system`:
-
-```ini
-[Unit]
-Description=FlareSolverr
-After=network.target
-
-[Service]
-SyslogIdentifier=flaresolverr
-Restart=always
-RestartSec=5
-Type=simple
-User=flaresolverr
-Group=flaresolverr
-Environment="LOG_LEVEL=info"
-Environment="CAPTCHA_SOLVER=none"
-WorkingDirectory=/opt/flaresolverr
-ExecStart=/opt/flaresolverr/.venv/bin/python /opt/flaresolverr/src/flaresolverr.py # note the venv python and that it uses the "src" directory for the git repo
-TimeoutStopSec=30
-
-[Install]
-WantedBy=multi-user.target
-```
-
-We can now `start`/`enable` the `flaresolverr.service`:
-
-```sh
-systemctl enable flaresolverr.service
-systemctl start flaresolverr.service
-```
-
-You can check that the service started correctly by checking the logs:
-
-```sh
-journalctl -fxeu flaresolverr
-```
-
-It should show "Test successful" and "Serving on http://0.0.0.0:8191" (which is the default). Jackett will need to be configured if FlareSolverr is served on anything different than the default.
-
-==Note that since this was a manual setup, if `python` gets updated it will probably break the virtual environment (just re-do that part). If FlareSolverr gets updated, you might need to stash the changes (because of the service file) and do a git pull (probably install the requirements again, too). Until the AUR packages are fixed, at least.==
-
-# qBitTorrent
-
-[qBitTorrent](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/QBittorrent) is a fast, stable and light BitTorrent client that comes with many features and in my opinion it's a really user friendly client and my personal choice for years now. But you can choose whatever client you want, there are more lightweight alternatives such as [Transmission](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/transmission).
-
-Install the headless `qbittorrent` package ("nox" as in "no X server"):
-
-```sh
-pacman -S qbittorrent-nox
-```
-
-By default the package doesn't install any (service) user, but it is recommended to have one so we can run the service under it. Create the user, I'll call it `qbittorrent` and leave it with the default homedir (`/home`):
-
-```sh
-useradd -r -m qbittorrent
-```
-
-==Add the `qbittorrent` user to the `servarr` group:==
-
-```sh
-gpasswd -a qbittorrent servarr
-```
-
-Decide a port number you're going to run the service on for the next steps, the default is `8080` but I'll use `30000`; it doesn't matter much, as long as it matches for all the config.
-
-## Reverse proxy
-
-Add the following `location` block into the `isos.conf` with whatever subdirectory name you want, I'll call it `qbt`:
-
-```nginx
-location /qbt/ {
- proxy_pass http://localhost:30000/; # change port to whatever number you want
- proxy_http_version 1.1;
-
- proxy_set_header Host $host;
- proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $http_host;
- proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
-
- proxy_cookie_path / "/; Secure";
- proxy_read_timeout 600s;
- proxy_send_timeout 600s;
-}
-```
-
-This is taken from [qBitTorrent: Nginx reverse proxy for Web UI](https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/wiki/NGINX-Reverse-Proxy-for-Web-UI). Restart the `nginx` service for the changes to take effect:
-
-```sh
-systemctl restart nginx.service
-```
-
-## Start using qBitTorrent
-
-You can now `start`/`enable` the `qbittorrent-nox@.service` using the service account created (`qbittorrent`):
-
-```sh
-systemctl enable `qbittorrent-nox@qbittorrent.service
-systemctl start `qbittorrent-nox@qbittorrent.service
-```
-
-This will start `qbittorrent` using default config. We need to change the port (in my case to `30000`) and set `qbittorrent` to restart on exit (the Web UI has a close button). I guess this can be done before enabling/starting the service, but either way let's create a "drop-in" file by "editing" the service:
-
-```sh
-systemctl edit `qbittorrent-nox@qbittorrent.service
-```
-
-Which will bring up a file editing mode containing the service unit and a space where we can add/override anything, add:
-
-```ini
-[Service]
-Environment="QBT_WEBUI_PORT=30000" # or whatever port number you want
-Restart=on-success
-RestartSec=5s
-```
-
-When saving and exiting from the file it will create the override config. Restart the service for changes to take effect (it might ask to also reload the systemd deamon or something like that):
-
-```sh
-systemctl restart `qbittorrent-nox@qbittorrent.service
-```
-
-You can now head to `https://isos.yourdomain.com/qbt/` and login with user `admin` and password `adminadmin` (by default). Change the default password right away by going to *Tools -> Options -> Web UI -> Authentication*. The Web UI is basically the same as the normal desktop UI so if you've used it it will feel familiar. From here you can threat it as a normal torrent client and even start using for other stuff other than the specified here.
-
-### Configuration
-
-It should be usable already but we can go further and fine tune it, specially to some kind of "convention" as shown in [TRaSH: qBitTorrent basic setup](https://trash-guides.info/Downloaders/qBittorrent/Basic-Setup/) and subsequent `qbittorrent` guides.
-
-I use all the suggested settings, where the only "changes" are for personal paths, ports, and in general connection settings that depend on my setup. The only super important setting I noticed that can affect our setup (meaning what is described in this entry) is the *Web UI -> Authentication* for the "Bypass authentication for clients on localhost". This will be an issue because the reverse proxy is accessing `qbittorrent` via the localhost, so this will make the service open to the world, experiment at your own risk.
-
-Finally, add categories by following [TRaSH: qBitTorrent how to add categories](https://trash-guides.info/Downloaders/qBittorrent/How-to-add-categories/). I added 3: `tv`, `movies` and `anime`.
-
-### Trackers
-
-Often some of the trackers that come with torrents are dead or just don't work. You have the option to add extra trackers to torrents either by:
-
-- Automatically add a predefined list on new torrents: configure at *Tools -> Options -> BitTorrent*, enable the last option "Automatically add these trackers to new downloads" then add the list of trackers. This should only be done on public torrents as private ones might ban you or something.
-- Manually add a list of trackers to individual torrents: configure by selecting a torrent, clicking on *Trackers* on the bottom of the Web UI, right clicking on an empty space and selecting "Add trackers..." then add the list of trackers.
-
-On both options, the list of trackers need to have at least one new line in between each new tracker. You can find trackers from the following sources:
-
-- [List of stable trackers](https://newtrackon.com/list)
-- [ngosang/trackerslist](https://github.com/ngosang/trackerslist)
- - It also mentions [Third party tools](https://github.com/ngosang/trackerslist#third-party-tools) to automate this process.
-
-Both sources maintain an updated list of trackers. You also might need to enable an advanced option so all the new trackers are contacted ([Only first tracker contacted](https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/7882)): configure at *Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> libtorrent Section* and enable both "Always announce to all tiers" and "Always announce to all trackers in a tier".
