Tl;dr: I understand docker is supposed to help get things running on different systems easily, can someone give me a copy of their working Arr stack?

Frustrated venting I'm past being new to this server thing having run mine for over a year so I guess I can officially say I'm just bad at it. I've been working on getting Sonarr, Radarr, and, lidarr running since 4 in the afternoon, discounting dinner that's 6 hours of constantly failing to get these to work. This is my 5th time trying since I learned about it in April.

I've given up on the automatic downloads, I've given up on the request system, I'm even done with the torrenting, I'll just do that on my phone. All I want is something that format my 5TB of media to Title (date) instead of MOVIE_TITLE_ALL_UNDERSCORE, or TB_1000, or movie.videoformat.year.special.deluxe.username.host.visit.my.site.please. I was sold on this idea that self hosting was a relatively easy thing that anyone can get into and while I have a good understanding of how a config.yml is supposed to look and work, and I've got a decent understanding of ssh and sftp between two computers, but trying to grt any one of these things to run is soul crushing. I literally work in the foster system and my worst cases do not give me the stress this does. I just want to get it fixed so I can watch Pokemon with my family and offer it to people who will never bother to log on.

~~Edit: OMFG I moved them back into individual folders and they work now. 6 hours of videos and tutorials and not a single thing saying they absolutely have to be in their own folders or it won't work.~~ edit unclear, brain stuck in toaster

Edit 2: turns out, Radarr can't find movies at /movies/movie.mkv and needs /movies/folder/movie.mkv. Now Radarr can import movies but all other problems persist.

Here's mine. I have separate stacks for media players (Plex, JF) and downloaders (sabnzbd, qbittorrent), so I added their networks to the config. I also chose to mount the volumes directly in the YAML instead of the VM's fstab, I found it plays a bit nicer that way. None of this is exposed to the internet. And I need to reconfigure the *seerrs, since Jellyseerr and Overseerr merged into one project...
