I’ve setup an old laptop with linux mint running jellyfin and arr stack in docker containers.

When I run it the Internet in other devices in the network becomes virtually unusable after about 10 mins of the containers having run.

I don’t really know what to do, so I wanted to ask for advice.

    Does your router have webinterface where you can monitor and potentially limit network usage of devices?

    I’m not too familiar with the arr stack but if it is constantly downloading videos it’s probably using full bandwidth. Maybe you can also limit in the arr settings or throttle the network interface on the laptop.

        If you’re using QBittorrent, you can throttle upload/download speeds in the settings. I believe it wants speeds set in kibibytes (KiB) so you’ll need to convert your megabit internet speeds to your desired kibibyte limit (say maybe 50% or less of your available bandwidth).
