migrating *arr (sonarr/radarr/bazarr/lidarr/prowlarr) apps from truecharts to jailmaker

[hnnq]

I appreciate the Jellyfin example in the tutorial (and I'll have to migrate it and Jellyseerr later), but I'd like to start with migrating the *arr apps.
Is there a tutorial on how to do that
My main questions relate to:

• reusing the media datasets
• changes needed for the user/group of the media files and the *arr app (currently set to "apps:apps" = 568:568, which is the truecharts default)
• cross-referencing apps. Currently I'm using truecharts' linking-apps to get the address of other services/apps
• I use truecharts' ingress (with traefik, blocky, as well as some other services) to access the apps by name (e.g., sonarr.mydomain), how can I accomplish the same with jailmaker
• a general question - how do I update the apps? Do I need to reinstall the docker image of the app, or is there an automatic update mechanism

thanks

Any progress here?

Jailmaker can help you create a linux jail where you can run docker and docker-compose based containres

The way I'm planning on doing this is by creating the apps in a docker enabled jail, and write a docker-compose file for the arr stack.

I'll have another docker-compose for the reverse-proxy. Still havn't decided if it will be traefik or NPM, but I'm comfortable with either. I feel the chaining definitions in traefik will be easier for me to manage, but I do like the simplicity of the UI of NPM.

I'll setup each of these docker-compose to have their own network, with an additonal network shared between the two compose stacks.

This should make using simple host name - internally.

As for the data. I'm hoping I'll be able to copy (with send/receive) the ZFS datasets as is, and just point the docker-compose to the new location.

Thanks. Please share your progress and insights

You can create a new jail and use this script to install the *arr that you need: https://github.com/pijarr/pijarr
You don't have to install docker, the *arr will work as apps under linux.
