  • I had a reasonably good time with it. I had issues with btrfs, which is why I moved off it and went to Fedora IoT for pretty much the same benefits.

    For me, btrfs caused multiple drive corruptions because of unexpected power offs, and I didn’t feel like trying to fix that on the fly - it might have been drives that were incompatible with CoW because of firmware “optimisations” that break if a write isn’t completed prior to power off.

    In general, outside of that, it was pretty solid. I didn’t find much use for the orchestration/setup tooling they include, and I found their documentation pretty sporadic unfortunately. Fedora IoT has the advantage of basically being silverblue, with rpm-ostree, so it’s easy to find people using it and discussing it.


  • Are you expecting sonarr to go after historical stuff? You have to manually request a search for anything added that isn’t being released in the future. Sonarr only automatically checks for new episodes, not old ones. Like others have said, season searches and interactive searches are useful for anything that’s not airing in the future.




  • The bridges are all open source, and they use matrix synapse as their server installation - though their client is a closed source fork of element with changes. You can use any matrix client to connect to it, and they say it’s a standard synapse setup.

    If privacy is a concern, bringing your own client should remove that concern as the rest is open source. It’s also e2e encrypted, as any matrix server is.

    I self host my own matrix homeserver with bridges set up using their code. The only bit of their stack I can’t use is the client. I don’t like that that’s closed source, that’s frustrating.

    Edit: while writing this two more people made the same comment. Sorry!
