Looks like we have a few subscribers to this community so I figured Id make a "poll" of sorts. Are most people already rocking the servarr stack or do we have anyone who is here to learn? If you already have a stack, whats your setup? Ill go first.

Im currently running my homelab on consumer hardware, just an old gaming PC I had. i7-4790k with 32gb of ddr3 ram and a gtx 1060. Im running truenas Scale on it, and I moved from ubuntu server. Ive got the whole *arr stack running except for whisparr along with a bunch of other self host programs like vault warden and audiobookshelf.

I have everything running on an old r510 I got for free. It has 2xL5640 CPUs and 80gb of RAM. I am running unRAID with about 50tb of total storage, and Readarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr and Overseerr for handling requests. I also have audiobookshelf and calibre-web running.

I started with windows server and moved to running plex on Ubuntu server when windows started having issues. Then I decided I wanted to virtualize it so I moved to Proxmox with a plex VM and a servarr VM both had access to zfs pool of 6x3tb HDD. Eventually I wanted to upgrade without losing all the data and without the budget to upgrade all 6 HDD at the same time so I moved to unRAID. Now everything runs in the built in docker containers.

I love the convince of the *arr apps. I have automated almost every part of my media library including meta stuff like showing if a show is cancelled or ended with PMM. I am not a huge fan of readarr or lidarr because the last time I tried using them they had a hard time getting the metadata for the books and music. I ended up ditching my music collection, and I use calibre for handling my book collection now.
