How to setup Plex with Sonarr, Radarr, Jackett, Overseerr and qBitTorrent using Docker

This is a guide that will show you how to setup Plex Media Server with Sonarr, Radarr, Jackett, Overseerr and qBitTorrent with Docker. It is written for Ubuntu 20.04 but should work on other Linux distributions as well (considering supported distributions by Docker). It is also written for people who have some experience with Linux and Docker. If you are new to Docker, I recommend you to read the Docker documentation, and if you are new to Linux, I recommend you to read the Ubuntu documentation.

Now, let's get started!

Please note: This guide was written without considering hardlinking for Sonarr/Radarr. If you want to use hardlinking refer to #Hardlinking

HOWTO: Receive SMS via 4G/LTE Huawei stick on Raspberry Pi 4 and forward them via Telegram

I live abroad and have only 1 sim card slot in my phone. It holds the SIM card of the country that I am in right now. But I also have another SIM card from my home country which receives my banking SMS codes. I can't afford to lose the "home" SIM card, so I decided to keep it in my house and forward the SMS messages to my main phone and computer via Telegram (just like Whatsapp, but so much better).

I also made a choice to use a 4G/LTE stick instead of 3G, because the 3G signal in my area is getting worse in worse due to operators upgrading their equipment.

Prerequisites

1. Raspberry Pi 4
2. Huawei E8372 (but can be any similar)

Step 1 - Get the Huawei card to work properly with Raspberry

Recently found some clowny gist was the top result for 'google takeout multiple tgz', where it was using two bash scripts to extract all the tgz files and then merge them together. Don't do that. Use brace expansion, cat the TGZs, and extract:

$ cat takeout-20201023T123551Z-{001..011}.tgz | tar xzivf -

You don't even need to use brace expansion. Globbing will order the files numerically:

$ cat takeout-20201023T123551Z-*.tgz | tar xzivf -

Running Plex in an Unprivileged LXC with Intel QuickSync Passthrough

First setup an unprivileged Ubuntu container with Plex Media Server installed. Inside the container take note of the id of the plex group.

# Your Plex group's ID may be different
$ getent group plex | cut -d : -f3
