 Four years later and with 5,000 members on the server, the RTX 5000 series is being released. Yet, no working stock bot seems to exist. Not to mention a certain “influencer” who charges users for access to a bot that doesn’t even work. He manually copies alerts from other servers like ours, which have already solved the issue.

Along with another member, KevOut, who helped guide me through the APIs and initial architecture, I ended up building a clean and functional bot that sends different kinds of Discord alerts—all deployable in a simple Docker container.

 It works great locally, but if you want all your devices (even on the go) to benefit, you’ll need to expose Adguard to the internet. Unfortunately, that means anyone can use it, potentially overloading your €1/month remote VPS.

-Adguard allows whitelisting or blacklisting clients. The problem? To whitelist a client, you need their IP—but for mobile phones, that IP changes often. Instead of trying to whitelist ever-changing IPs, the better approach is to block broader IP ranges by region.

 CIDRE is a tool that syncs geo-targeted IP ranges with firewalls. Instead of running CIDRE with a full firewall stack on the remote server, I figured I could just import those regularly updated IP ranges into Adguard’s blocklist.

 Six months after downloading terabytes of media, I realized that Sonarr and Radarr were copying them into my Plex library instead of creating hardlinks. This happens due to a counterintuitive mechanism: if you mount multiple folders in Sonarr/Radarr, it sees them as different filesystems and thus cannot create hardlinks. That’s why you should mount only one parent folder containing all child folders (like `downloads`, `movies`, `tvseries` inside a `media` parent folder).

-So I restructured my directories, manually updated every path in Qbittorrent, Plex, and others. The last challenge was finding a way to detect existing duplicates, delete them, and automatically create hardlinks instead—to save space.
