Hey all, more question time. What was the “push” that made you set up your servarr instance? For me, my wife is from a different country than I am. We both paid for netflix but due to region lock could never watch anything together without piracy. I realized very quickly that it was a worthless endevour to keep going with the dance so I just figured fuck it, Ill go all in.

  • I wanted to get a NAS for other reasons (primarily, running a syncthing instance for multi-device Obsidian access) and figured once I have the NAS, might as well put in the work to understand the *Arr apps that I’d seen talked about on /selfhosted and /DataHoarders. :)

    • I should use syncthings to get obsidian working like that, I haven’t thought about it. I gave up when I saw that it was a paid service to use their cloud but that was a few years before any of my self hosting.

      There’s always that first thing you want to do that then just opens the gate for the spiral of other things eh.

      • As long as you’re outside of the iOS experience, Syncthing works fantastically for keeping Obsidian in sync! I haven’t run into any file conflict issues, and with my NAS up, files replicate across my PC / laptop / etc quickly enough.

        iOS is a whole other beast; I’m self-hosting a VSCode instance that I SSH tunnel into so that I can edit my vault remotely (although without all the bells and whistles of Obsidian). I’ve made a smaller sync file inside my vault for quick mobile notes that gets synced by Resilio Sync, since it’s smoother than syncthing on iOS.
