Recently learned about this stuff on a Lemmy World post and I thought I’d move the conversation here since they’ve been fussy about DB0 in the past.

I’m really just a common seaman when it comes to the high seas. I just use Proton and qBit and whichever website is supposed to be safe and active nowdays (currently Torrent Galaxy?). I just download from the magnet link to qBit and save it on my drive. I don’t know much about torrent streaming or ports or networks or anything IT might ask me to check beyond “plug it in”.

But for some shows I’ve only been able to find single episodes, not full seasons, so when I heard about something that compiles stuff for me, it seemed convenient. I’d be curious to learn more. Unfortunately the websites for these services don’t really offer any explanation to new users and laymen, so I got a bit lost. Thought I’d ask here rather than venture into their forums where they already don’t seem to welcome idiots like me.

So… what the heck is Sonarr and how do I use it?

    Hey @TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee, I was in your shoes a month ago. I am proud to announce I just completed my (first) setup of all *ARR tools on Synology Container Manager (Docker). I documented my progress. If you need help with setup, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

    EDIT : If the community would help me sanitise my files and get a GitHub repo going, I would happily help build an all-in-one download-and-run install package. Please let me know.

      Thank you! Glad this community is positive and open. I know it can be frustrating for experienced users to be around a lot of users with varying levels of experience.

      I’d totally love to see you your process, I’ve been reluctant to start using docker, but all the cool stuff is there
