Pokemon is driving me to want a Plex Server. (lemmygrad.ml)

My 2.5 year old loves watching classic Pokemon. I'll be honest, so do I. But have you tried doing that? It's fucking insane.

  • The first half of S1 is on Netflix
  • The second half is on Amazon but you need an extra subscription to watch it.
  • The theird season (johto) is also Amazon.
  • The 4th is no where but Archive.org of all places... Which is called Johto Champions, so it really feels like the end of the season but it's another 52 episodes!

You would think pokemon.com would have all this (they have a lot, and it's all free) but they don't!

Seeing S4 (is that even right?) On Archive.org is really pushing me to want to build a Plex server. Having all this content in one place would be very nice.

I do IT work by day, and I have some older 2TB platter drives from a retired camera server laying around. What's the easiest way to get my foot in the door? Do I save up some $$ for a Synology box?

Love to get your input!

This is where the beauty of sonarr comes in

Hot dog, I just looked it up. So you set up Sonarr and tell it I want "Pokemon" and it just pulls torrents for the show from feeds it knows?

Now the obvious question I have is, how do I avoid my ISP from freaking out? Is it just as simple as putting it behind say, NordVPN?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

idk how much you know about docker, but that's how i have everything set up. i use sonarr with prowlarr (indexer) and a torrent downloader. the only thing the isp will care about is downloads so put torrent-dl behind vpn like nord. i use gluetun to do that, but there are other ways too. at the end i use plex because i like the apps ecosystem with music player, but a pass costs like $100 for life. otherwise check out FOSS jellyfin, many users like that.

these apps all have git repos and websites to explain their uses, you'll be fine with your background. if you haven't used docker, i recommend it, but its not required for anything, especially on windows

I’ve been using this docker container to manage the VPN connection and transmission and it’s been fantastic https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn
