Guide: How to make this work from Windows

[RobertPaulson90]

Just wanted to share my learnings getting this to work beautifully on Windows. Just a few changes are needed.

You will need WSL2 and Docker for Windows (configured to use the WSL2 engine).

Then in the docker-compose.yml file, unfortunately, network_mode: host doesn't work on Windows, so you will need to remove that line and expose the ports instead. This also means that for the containers to talk with each other, you don't use localhost or 127.0.0.1 but must use the container's DNS hostname, e.g. deluge:8112

I also turned off the VPN since I was having some difficulties, let me/us know if you can get it working. But here is what my end config looks like (also upgraded nzbget with sabnzbd like #86)

Port 8080 is a commonly used port so you might want to expose sabnzbd as something else or kill whatever else may be using it.

Thank you very much but what do you put in the Sabnzbd config, especially in Usenet host?
I work locally, I admit I don't know what to put, can you help me please?

[RobertPaulson90]

I didn't do anything special just mostly default settings and credentials for my usenet which was Frugal at the time.

But I must admit I've ditched this entire HTPC setup after I discovered Stremio + Torrentio + Real Debrid running on a Chromecast 4K/Firestick 4K Max. Now I don't need to worry about having my desktop turned on, waiting for downloads to complete and disk space. I can easily stream anything on demand and in the best quality. Much better for my needs.
