What is RDT client?
“my eyeballs” I literally just laughed out loud at the fact you put that and made a graphic
I wish I could make the slick, pro looking diagrams that other people post, but I don’t know how!

This is better
This is way more fun
What’s the need for Overseer/Jellyseer? I can already add stuff through Sonarr/Radarr
Makes adding movies/series even easier. Nice gui, search box. Click and Radrr/Sonarr will do the rest. Jellyserr is a fork of Overseer with support for your Jellyfin instance logins. And if you have more people using your services - they can request what they want without bothering you and you can approve/reject their requests.
Nowadays I’m rarely touching Sonarr or Radarr, everything is happening through Jellyserr or LunaSea (lack of nzb360 for iOS). Unless I’m cleaning my NAS.
Don’t forget about Bazarr as an addition to S/R duet for automated subtitles downloading if you need them.
I had to look Overseerr up as I had not heard of it. And honestly, it’ll probably be the next thing I implement.
Looks like an easy way to streamline requests from users. Plus, it has a discover section that suggests new content. This would be a great addition so that my wife could request content as well as discover new stuff. Useful for some people but not all.
It kicks ass. Very nice.
Abstracting complexity and user permission management (with -arr stuff having none iirc)
My wife and kids can add things through Overseer without bugging me and it’s all authenticated with their Plex account so no extra user accounts to manage. I even use it occasionally to discover new things to watch. Plus it can just automatically add stuff from a user’s Plex watchlist if they discover things that way. Fantastic program.
Best sleeper feature is that it can monitor stuff you add to the watchlist and grab it for you when available. Perfect to pair with that discover feature they added to plex a while back.
How is this different from the “Monitored” feature in Sonarr/Radarr?
You never have to leave Plex, Overseer is just grabbing the watchlist from you and your users and then adding a new entry in Radarr set to monitored for that movie.
I use Jellyfin so I don’t know if it’s that different
How do you stream plex directly to your eyeballs? how is latency? do you get motion sickness?
I love your diagram XD
You’re using TrueNAS SCALE, that’s why hahaha
I love the idea of SCALE but IMO it falls flat, I had tons of issues with it when I used it for about 6 months about a year or so ago, and I had been using the BSD version on and off since FreeNAS 9.3 so I’m no noob.
IMO it’s just easier to run a Linux distro like Arch (my choice, of course) with OpenZFS unless you have a bunch of drives, then using the CLI for management becomes very cumbersome. I was managing 22 HDDs and 8 NVME drives via the CLI and it’s a nightmare. TrueNAS does have that buttoned down.
Finally someone has made a nice GUI for ZFS management, it’s called Poolsman and it’s a plugin for Cockpit, it offers basic ZFS management which is pretty much all I need. The downside is that it’s currently closed source software and costs you $60 per year Per PC. Their development is also pretty slow. I bought it 10 months ago and they finally just added in support for creating ZFS pools about a month or two ago.
Where do you host your eyeballs? Is that available for docker? 🤣
I just use OMV and Jellyfin\Sonarr\Radarr\Prowlarr on windows, no fucking around with folder mapping or permissions.
My pain… I run all of those in docker and I gave up and just cronjon chmod 777 the * fuck it I don’t open it to wan anyway
I just make sure everything that touches my media files runs under the same uid and gid, don’t really have to do anything with permissions after you chown everything to said uid/gid.
Should there be something between RDT-client and Plex? I know that storage isn’t a service/application, but it feels weird that the line goes directly from the download client to Plex
