I have a spare Raspberry Pi 2 (Raspbian Jessie Lite can connect by ethernet or WiFi, current external storage is NAS) that isn't doing much(all the other important software is on the other Pi2), so far just Sonarr, NZB Hydra, and LazyLibrarian, though I am about to dump this since I can't really figure out a setup, so maybe I could start with: "Am I over-thinking LazyLibrarian's setup, and is it doable, or is the following more fun?"
I'm thinking of doing a small Usenet indexer on this Pi, sort of a personal magazine "subscription" service, if you will. I love discovering all the strange and new magazines I see out there, but no site really has a "My Magazines" section like they have "My TV Shows" making a "subscription" quite a bit more difficult so I just resort to RSS feeds on SABnzbd and looking at the indexers daily for interesting new magazines.
I saw guides for NzedB and Pynab on here. NzebB seemed a bit outdated, but I did see the NzedB forums suggesting using Unrar 5.1.1 instead of Unrar 4, so presumably that change and to just use the Jessie repo. The setup for both NzedB and Pynab appears a bit complicated and I'm not terribly familiar (always willing to learn, though) with the pre-requisites like Nginx & MySQL (I do run SQL queries at work daily, but that experience doesn't seem terribly relevant here).
Questions:
Does what I described above seem worthy/doable on my spare Pi2? If not, any other suggestions? If so, which route should I go? It seemed NzedB was better at de-obfuscating, if so, that might be a pretty important deciding factor.
Would a 32GB USB drive be a decent/sufficient option for the database so the NAS isn't constantly being written to when other devices are trying to use it?
Any other advice?
