I installed ubuntu-24.04 on proxmox, updated and upgraded the container. I pasted the install command and launched the TSB browser. I installed Media stack and used surf shark VPN Qbittorrent, Prowlarr, Sonarr, and Radarr is not working correctly VPN dropped 1 to install is still on the bottom of the scree Qbittorrent, Prowlarr, Sonarr, and Radarr are showing starting (1-2 mins) for 15 mins. Restarted all services restarted proxmox container reinstalled proxmox container & TSB and still getting the same error. (been waiting for services to start for over 20 mins now. Any idea on how to fix this?

You didn't break anything — this is the VPN, not the apps. qBittorrent, Prowlarr, Sonarr and Radarr all send their traffic through the VPN container, so until the VPN actually connects they just sit on 'starting' forever. Your 'VPN dropped' note is the real clue. Run this and paste what it shows — it's the VPN's own log and it'll tell us exactly why it won't connect: sudo docker logs sb-gluetun --tail 20 One heads-up: if you installed inside a Proxmox LXC container (not a full VM), the VPN usually can't build its tunnel without extra setup — a full VM avoids that. Let me know which one you're on and we'll sort it.

I reinstalled it in a full VM and it seems to be working. I am just waiting on everything to finish installing and figure out how to connect to my Synology shared folder. Thanks for your help! :)

Nice — yeah, that was it: an LXC container can't build the VPN tunnel, but a full VM has no such problem. Glad it's sorted! For the Synology share, the easiest route is to mount it on your Ubuntu VM (the host) and point SparkBox's media folder at it. Happy to walk you through that — just tell me whether the Synology share is NFS or SMB and I'll give you the exact steps. Enjoy the build!

It is a NFS volume1/Proxmox

Perfect, NFS is the easy one. Two parts: 1) On the Synology: Control Panel - Shared Folder - Proxmox - Edit - NFS Permissions, and add a rule for your Ubuntu VM's IP with read/write. Note the mount path it shows (looks like /volume1/Proxmox). 2) On the Ubuntu VM over SSH: sudo apt install -y nfs-common sudo mkdir -p /mnt/media sudo mount -t nfs YOURSYNOLOGYIP:/volume1/Proxmox /mnt/media Check it worked with: ls /mnt/media (you should see your files). To make it survive a reboot, add this line to /etc/fstab: YOURSYNOLOGYIP:/volume1/Proxmox /mnt/media nfs netdev,auto 0 0 Then point SparkBox at it: in the dashboard Settings set the media folder to /mnt/media (or MEDIAROOT=/mnt/media in /opt/sparkbox/.env), and run sudo sparkbox up media. Shout if any step throws an error and paste it here.
