🔧 Service Configuration Tips

🎯 First-Time Setup Priority

1. Prowlarr (http://YOUR_TAILSCALE_IP:9696) - Configure indexers first
2. Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr - Add Prowlarr as indexer source
3. Download Clients - Configure qBittorrent/SABnzbd in Arrs
4. Plex - Add media libraries and configure remote access
5. Jellyseerr - Connect to Plex and configure user requests

📊 Monitoring Setup

1. Tautulli - Connect to Plex for detailed statistics
2. Health Dashboard - SSH to VPS and run health command
3. VPN Status - Check docker logs gluetun for VPN connection

🔐 Security Setup

1. Change Default Passwords: qBittorrent admin password
2. Enable Authentication: Set up auth on services that support it
3. Review Firewall: Check UFW status with sudo ufw status
4. Monitor Logs: Check /var/log/arrs/ for monitoring logs

📞 Support & Troubleshooting

If you can't access a service:

1. Check Service Status: docker ps to see running containers
2. Check Logs: docker logs [service-name] for error messages
3. Check Firewall: sudo ufw status to verify port access
4. Check Tailscale: Ensure Tailscale is connected on your device
5. Health Dashboard: Run /usr/local/bin/health-dashboard.sh on VPS

🔧 Specific Service Troubleshooting

🚨 TubeArchivist Not Loading

If TubeArchivist (http://YOUR_TAILSCALE_IP:8000) shows connection errors:

# Check all TubeArchivist containers
docker ps | grep tubearchivist

# Restart in correct order (dependencies first)
docker-compose restart tubearchivist-es
sleep 30
docker-compose restart tubearchivist-redis  
sleep 10
docker-compose restart tubearchivist

# Check logs if still not working
docker-compose logs -f tubearchivist

🔄 Download Client Port Mix-up

If ports are swapped (SABnzbd on 8081, qBittorrent on 8080):

# Restart VPN container and download clients
docker-compose restart gluetun
sleep 30
docker-compose restart qbittorrent sabnzbd

# Verify correct mapping
curl -I http://YOUR_TAILSCALE_IP:8080  # Should show SABnzbd
curl -I http://YOUR_TAILSCALE_IP:8081  # Should show qBittorrent

🌐 VPN Connection Issues

If download clients show "Unauthorized" or won't load:

# Check VPN status
docker-compose logs gluetun | tail -20

# Restart entire VPN stack
docker-compose down qbittorrent sabnzbd gluetun
docker-compose up -d gluetun
sleep 60
docker-compose up -d qbittorrent sabnzbd
