MediathekArr fakes a Usenet indexer towards Prowlarr and a SABnzbd downloader
towards Sonarr/Radarr and fetches from the ARD and ZDF media libraries. Both
consumers already share gluetun's network namespace, so they reach it over
127.0.0.1 - no service, no DNS, no ingress detour. Purely additive: the flag
defaults to false and a default render is byte-identical to 3.0.5 (verified
against the previous chart for both the default values and the CI values).
The four things that fail silently without them:
- A START GATE on gluetun. MediathekArr fetches its ruleset once at start and
never retries; started before the tunnel it answers every Newznab search with
0 results while the container is up, Ready and quiet. Kubernetes cannot order
two regular containers and an initContainer would deadlock, so the wait sits
in front of the image entrypoint: poll gluetun's health server on
127.0.0.1:9999 and exec the entrypoint afterwards; on timeout the container
exits rather than starting blind, because a crash loop is visible and an empty
indexer is not. The startup probe budget (300s) deliberately outlasts the gate
(180s).
- incomplete/ AND complete/ ON THE SHARED DOWNLOADS CLAIM, not in an emptyDir.
An emptyDir counts against the container's ephemeral-storage limit, and one
large download would have the kubelet evict the whole pod with all ten
containers - the trap ytdlp-web-player documents.
- THE COMPLETE PATH SONARR SEES. The claim is mounted at /downloads exactly as
sonarr/radarr mount it, and the chart sets DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE_PATH itself, so
the SABnzbd complete_dir it reports is the same absolute path on both sides.
- TWO PORTS: 5007 (SABnzbd role and UI, primary) and 5008 (Newznab role for
Prowlarr), both declared to gluetun's firewall and both on one Service. The
SABnzbd API is at /download/api - /api on 5007 answers with a misleading
Newznab validation error.
Further details:
- Image pinned by digest (tag + digest): "latest" is a 2024 build, "beta"
moves. Single-arch linux/amd64. The built-in helm-values manager cannot
follow that pair, so renovate.json5 gets the chart's first customManagers
block; verified by dry-run with two fixtures, since a matching and a broken
rule look identical while the pin is current.
- Hardened as measured: non-root, uid/gid from puid/pgid,
readOnlyRootFilesystem: true, all capabilities dropped, no PUID/PGID.
- Probes on measured 200 endpoints (there is no health endpoint): readiness and
startup on /download/, liveness as an exec covering BOTH ports, because one
container runs two processes and a wedged Newznab half is exactly what makes
searches come back empty.
- No ingress by default: the UI links its assets with root-absolute paths, so it
can only be served at the root of a host; on the shared domain that root
belongs to seerr. A sub-path fails the render instead of producing a broken
UI.
- values.yaml and NOTES.txt document the geo MARKER PROCEDURE (not a table of
series), the escape route of a German exit and its price for the whole stack,
the fail_message: null trap, and the HLS question as an open question.
- CI: mediathekarr enabled in ci/freesailarr/test-values.yaml, install timeout
raised to 1200s for the extra image and the gate.
Fixes#245
Three review changes to the freesailarr chart.
Ingress: the chart no longer derives hosts as <app>.<ingress.domain> from one
Ingress object. The global ingress.domain is gone; every app carries its own
<app>.ingress.host and renders its own Ingress <release>-<chart>-<app>-ingress
with its own TLS secret tls-<release>-<chart>-<app>-ingress. The hosts are
therefore independent and may live in unrelated domains. The host is required,
but the required() call sits inside the loop over the *enabled* app ingresses,
so switching an app's ingress off must not make the chart demand a host for it.
clusterIssuer, className and annotations stay global defaults and are
overridable per app; an explicitly set per-app value wins (nil check instead of
"default", so an empty override is honoured).
Media: media.<category>.subPath mounts a sub-directory of the claim instead of
its root, default null (claim root = previous behaviour). The same
existingClaim may back all three categories with different subPaths. That is
the point rather than cosmetics: Radarr and Sonarr import by moving, and a move
within one filesystem can be a hardlink instead of a copy - across volume
boundaries every import duplicates the file.
Services: the collective Service with named ports is replaced by one ClusterIP
Service <release>-<chart>-<app>-service per enabled app that listens on a port,
flaresolverr included; recyclarr serves no port in daemon mode and gets none.
Each ingress points at its own app's service. All containers share gluetun's
network namespace, so the services differ only in their port - they provide
stable per-app DNS names, not network separation. The StatefulSet's governing
serviceName no longer names a removed object.
