Heya, I managed to set up the *arr stack as separate quadlets. The main problem I had was to get the correct permissions for the files inside the containers, and that seemed to be because of the way linuxserver.io is handling the filesystem (don’t quote me on this). Anyways this is how I set up the container segment in the .container file (located in /home/USER/.container/systemd/):

[Container]
Image=lscr.io/linuxserver/radarr:latest
Timezone=Europe/Stockholm
Environment=PUID=1002
Environment=PGID=1002
UIDMap=1002:0:1
UIDMap=0:1:1002
GIDMap=1002:0:1
GIDMap=0:1:1002
AutoUpdate=registry
Volume=/mnt/docker/radarr:/config:Z
Volume=/mnt/media/movies:/data/movies:z
#PublishPort=7878:7878
Network=proxy.network

The thing that made it work for me was the UID-/GIDMaps, which basically translates the UID/GID from the host into the container. All you need to do is change the 1002 ID, which represents the UID and GID of the user that owns the files and directories.

I also have a proxy.network file placed in the same directory with the content:

[Unit]
Description=Proxy network for containers
[Network]

So I can use that for container-container communication (and a caddy container for external access).

Also notice the AutoUpdate=registry, which auto-updates the container (if you want that). However you first need to enable the “update-timer”: systemctl --user enable podman-auto-update.timer

Also also, remember to create a file with the user running podman in /var/lib/systemd/linger, so that your containers don’t exit when you logout: touch /var/lib/systemd/linger/USERNAME

And full disclosure, I ended up switching back to docker and docker-compose for my arr stack, however I still strongly prefer podman and run podman container on my externally accessible servers (VPS).

Hope it helps.

Yes! I started like a year ago and am very happy. I strongly recommend mox. It’s lightweight and the configuration makes it very clear how to set it up properly. I had some weird issue with sending mail to Apple accounts but (believe it or not) I reached out to Apple and they seemed to fix it.

Connect it to speakers and use it as a Bitcoin price monitor that plays “You Suffer” by Napalm Death every time BTC passes a certain threshold.

I see you Gilfoyle.
