nexcrate
Movies, shows and music in one app, in place of Radarr, Sonarr and Lidarr. A movie or a show can have several versions, such as Full HD and 4K, each with its own profile and folder. Profiles from everyday questions with the TRaSH Guides rules inside, search over Newznab and Torznab indexers, downloads through the usual Usenet and torrent clients, and a switch-over from an existing Radarr, Sonarr and Lidarr.

What this script does
Hover or tap a box to see the lines it explains.
-
Script format
Tells HexOS this is a version 5 install script, so it knows how to read the rest.
Line 2
-
Script revision
This copy of the script is revision 0.1.0. Latest change: “Auto-generated draft from TrueNAS nexcrate 1.0.5”.
Lines 3–6
-
Storage locations it needs
The app uses these HexOS storage locations: App storage (fast) and Media. If one isn't set up yet, HexOS will ask you to pick a place for it.
Line 8
-
Minimum hardware
Recommended minimum: 2 CPU cores.
Line 9
-
Permission to use your folders
Allows the app to read and write files inside the storage locations listed above — and nowhere else.
Line 10
-
Network ports
The app needs port 30507 to be free on your server. A port is like an apartment number for your server's address.
Line 11
-
Folders created on install
Creates the folders the app needs before it starts: App storage (fast) › nexcrate and App storage (fast) › nexcrate › data. Some folders are handed to a specific system user so the app is allowed to write to them. Folders marked “snapshot” are included in HexOS snapshots, so you can roll them back.
Lines 13–22
-
Auto-generated secret key
HexOS makes up a long random secret key during install. It's only used inside nexcrate, so you never need to know it.
Line 24
-
Where the app's main data is saved
Where the app's main data is saved on your server: App storage (fast) › nexcrate › data.
Line 26
-
Your shared folders
Gives the app access to your existing files: Media appears inside the app as /media.
Lines 27–29
-
Web port: 30507
The app's web page is published on port 30507. You don't need to remember it — clicking the app's card in HexOS takes you there.
Line 32
-
Resource limits
Caps how much of your server the app can use: 2 CPU cores and 10% of your server's memory, but never more than 4 GB. This keeps one busy app from slowing everything else down.
Line 34
