A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Thought I would let you all know in case you have missed it. A few days ago Postgres support was finally merged into Sonarr dev branch (meaning 4.x version). I have already transitioned to it, so far it runs without issue

You can mostly follow the same instructions as for Radarr from here: https://wiki.servarr.com/radarr/postgres-setup

I used the following temporary docker container to do the conversion (obviously replace stuff you need to):

docker run --rm -v Route\to\sonarr.db:/sonarr.db --network=host dimitri/pgloader pgloader --debug --verbose --with "quote identifiers" --with "data only" "sqlite://sonarr.db" "postgresql://user:pwd@DB-IP/sonarr-main"

When it completed the run, it outputs a kind of table that shows if there were any errors. In my case there were 2 tables (cant remember which ones anymore) that couldn't be inserted, so I edited those manually afterwards, so it matches the ones in the original DB.

SQLite doesn't like NFS, the file locking isn't stable/fast enough so any latency in the storage can cause data loss, corruption or just slow things down.

However SQLite to MySQL is relatively peanuts, Postgres less so...

Still it's a nice move for those that don't run containers on a single host with local filesystems.
