What exactly are we building?

A fancy docker compose stack consisting of:

• A built in VPN container, through which all other containers’ traffic is routed
• Plex: A media library management tool that organizes and streams your media files.”
• Tautulli: Companion software to Plex, fine-grained control for monitoring and managing your streams
• Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Bazarr: Automating the downloads of TV shows, movies, music, and subtitles (in that order)
• Jackett: API-based management of indexers for the aforementioned list of download clients
• QBittorrent: Torrent client
• Watchtower: Tool to auto-update the containers

A Solution for “InfluxDB Error: Bad Gateway” in Grafana

I’ve been ecountering a weird issue with Grafana when trying to set up InfluxDB: even though the config for the data source is correct, when trying to test it it returns InfluxDB Error: Bad Gateway.

In short:

• The Problem: Managing multiple drives dedicated to media for my Plex server is annoying
• The Solution: using mergerfs, a union file system to “merge” the drives and make storage management easier

The original CPU in my rickety home server was proving to be a little inadequate, but even the strongest supported CPU would have been such a small upgrade that I could not justify spending the money on it.
