  • Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirates life for me!! Recent streaming services, prices and shows getting butchered, finally decided its time. Here's how a basic self-hosted 'Netflix' would look like. Fully automated once its setup. Using only a makeshift homelab server from second hand parts.
    The Overseer part In truth, I'm less familiar with and it's full feature set, But at a quick glance it looks like it would be similar to ombi (https://ombi.io/). I know for a fact that you can set up OMBI to let users just type in stuff and it will grab it for them. I didn't like that and opted to manually approve requests. Source: 10 months ago
  • This would have made my life so much easier in the beginning....
    Now add Ombi so that shared plex users have the ability to request content by themselves. Source: 11 months ago
  • Plex, sonarr, and radarr have saved my sanity... and ruined my gaming computer at the same time
    Now pipe that all through ombi and you will live like a king! Also, don't forget to add your watchlist from plex to radarr and sonarr. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Looking for something similar
    If what you're looking for is a request handled from the user's you give access to. Then you should check out Ombi. Ombi. Source: about 1 year ago
  • LPT: You can set up a free VPN server on your router to watch Netflix as if you are at home
    I use Jellyfin to host my media and Ombi for users to request media. Ombi sends user requests to Radarr for movies, and Sonarr for TV shows. Source: about 1 year ago
