From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

To keep it simple, I am migrating a Windows PC running Sonarr to an Ubuntu PC. So looks like I need samba to access the windows shares. I now see Linux doesn't use drive letters, so I mount the windows share to a mount point on Ubuntu. 2. No, haven't done anything yet, just reading and trying to understand the differences.
the arch wiki is a great resource for this kind of thing:
But why aren't you running sonarr on your NAS instead?
My goal is to have: Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Immich, tautulli, qbittorrent all running on this Linux box. There's no way my poor Synology could do that, so I'll keep them together. Thanks for the references, I'll take a look.
idk about tautulli, and immich can be taxing depending on what you enable I think, but everything else is lightweight. Anyway, did you manage to set up the mountpoint? After that if you run *arr apps, those are likely in docker/podman so you'll have to add the directory to their configuration.yaml
My nas is extremely old, I'd rather not put apps on it, plus I already purchased this mini pc.
So, doing some searching, I decided to give my list of apps I needed to copilot and see what came back. The AI answer is I should 100% use Docker to run all the apps on the Linux box. Feel free to jump in and disagree if you think otherwise.
So now, I am going to do the reading to install docker, and then move to installing the ARR containers. Other than the mount points, any cons I should be aware of with this scenario?
