No responses to this so I’ll break it out a bit more… Lots of questions!!!
Goal:
- Download with dedicated Seed box
- Use Transmission with PIA always on
- Store files on dedicated NAS
- Transcribe/watch/transmit files with dedicated Plex
- Have all this done safely through dedicated pfsense box
Gear:
- HP Prodesk 400 G4: Plex Transcoder (Ubuntu with Plex) 192.168.11.13
- HP Prodesk 400 G4: Torrent seed box (Ubuntu with Portainer) 192.168.11.14
- NAS K5.0: Storage (unraid) 192.168.11.15
- HP 730: pfsense (snort/pfblockerNG) 192.168.11.1
** I have followed the steps to mount the nfs files. Ex: /mnt/nfs/movies
I “believe” I have all the different machines up and running, but I have not been able to get them to talk. Ex: Torrent seed box will not download to NAS and NAS will not connect to Plex Transcoder.
A few example questions: (I am using the walkthrough from Techno Dad. There might be better out there)
In Portainer:
Setting up Stacks
Transmission: What do I put as the volumes location? I would want them to go to the NAS right?
- For all the dockers, I believe that I have to have matching puid and guid’s? This would be for all the machines? I.e. Transcoder must be 1000 100, NAS 1000 100, Seed box 1000 100???
Anytime I am asked what my “local network” is do I put my pfsense IP? Same for DNS?
Volumes for containers: What do I put to get them to go to my NAS? (this example is radarr)
In the actual containers:
Transmission: What do I put as the download location. Again, thinking this would be my NAS but not sure how to write it out.
In Radarr:
What IP do I use for the Host in downloads? My Transmission IP? My seed box? My pfsense? My NAS?
Do I need a Root folder for Media Management? What would it be?
Do I also put this root folder here when trying to download something?
In pfsense:
DNS resolver: Is this setup correctly?
Lastly, in Plex.
I assume that I use the same locations that were hopefully provided in earlier questions to see all of this? I have done all the mounting steps for transcoding. Can you give an example???
Then there is obviously anything I missed!!!
I know it’s a lot and I feel like I’ve done my homework, but most tutorials assume you know the basics which unfortunately I do not.
Appreciate the help in advance.
Thanks!
