  • If you just host for yourself, you don’t gain that much by using Seerr, besides having a nicer UI and you have more search filters compared to Sonarr and Radarr.

    However, if you have multiple users, you benefit a lot of it. Users, which have individual user accounts, can request media. Depending on the configuration, those requests have to be accepted manually, which gives you a way to still be in control of what ends up on your server. The user then gets notified about what has happened and if the media was downloaded.

  • Those are some very good and helpful insights, thank you very much for sharing. I was also hosting forgejo and used traefik as reverse proxy. However, my forgejo was locked down, which is probably why I had no bot attack.

    Some thoughts:

    • fail2ban works for malicious requests very good, meaning things that get logged somewhere.
    • CrowdSec has an AI Bot Blocklist, which they offer for free if you host a FOSS project.
    • I am developing a tool which blocks CIDR ranges based on country directly via ufw. Maybe blocking countries helps in such a case, but not everyone wants to block whole countries.
  • I luckily have a professional document scanner for this, which has wifi and is able to store the PDF on a cloud drive. Started using ASN numbers recently, so I put a sticker on the letter before scanning. The letter gets archived and is found quickly if needed because of the ASN.

    Yesterday I wanted to introduce syncthing as my main backup solution. However, I am struggling with setting up the discovery server and want to fix that before installing it on all my devices.
