Before I forget here's the server flow for my 64tb sever. Supports Anime and all the works, never could get manga working with torrent/usenet well enough on ubuntu though.
A short list:
- Anime/Tv/Movies
- Switch games management (kinda)
- Cross Seed
- Unpackerr
- Radarr + Sonarr Queue Cleanup
- Trakt Sync
- Trakt List to add sonarr item (bad practice but whatever)
- Comics (weekly bundles are OP)
- My shitty cronjobs
Make suggestions on improvements, I probably won't be using this settup on my next server, but similar.
For adding content I used Ombi and the plex watchlist sync feature for those that were leeching on my plex, worked well enough. For better management I used the LunaSea app (great fucking app, go get it now, it's free)
I didn't do music bc I have tidal with plex and that's more then fine, lidarr sucked too much for the artists I like and attempts at streamrip automation failed all the time.
Cronjob abuse is my friend
Forgot to mention this also supports auto-uploading content (with filters) on a cronjob
Kavita is supposed to be the self-hosted automated manga downloader, unfortunately, their website seems to be down.
I believe FMD2 running in an OCI-compatible container with WINE underneath and Guacamole to present the app's GUI should be a decent alternative, since I heard that FMD2 can auto-download new manga chapters/releases
I run Kavita on my TrueNAS Scale setup. I can't really recommend it, but there's not a lot of similar manga/comic self hosting servers out there.
It doesn't have a feature to auto download manga though. It also won't organize manga based on folder structure - it only goes by file name, which annoys me to no end since I have my library organized for use with Tachiyomi on my phone/tablet.
I haven't touched or looked at anything manga-related in a while, but when I was looking at manga hosting solutions, I settled on Mango. If I remember correctly, I chose it specifically because it organizes based on the file/folder structure, including nested folders. So I can manually name and organize the files(my preference, as I never like the way any automated system does it), drop said files into the library folder, run a scan in Mango, and I'm good. Also has 3rd party plugins for downloads(a lot of which are hentai-related though, if I recall).
