Grafana
The open platform for beautiful analytics and monitoring.
This installation and documentation was possible, thanks to @marcobrianza
NB: Grafana binaries are specific to the CPU architecture, therefore, swapping SD cards between RPi 1 <> 2+, is not recommended
Pre-req:
A database server is required for Grafana. As Grafana offers many options (InfluxDB/MySQL), we have not automatically installed either as manual configuration may be preferred.
However, we highly recommend installing InfluxDB:

Roon Extension Manager:
At startup the Roon Extension Manager accesses a repository containing the community developed extensions. Via Settings->Extensions within Roon the repository can be viewed and an extension can be selected to perform a certain action. Many thanks to @JanKoudijs for contributing this into DietPi

First Run Setup:
Before you can add music, you'll need to select a search indexer to use from the web interface:
Simply goto Settings > Indexers then choose at least one indexer.
Setup your download client:
Simply goto Settings > Download Client , select your installed download client and enter required credentials.
Setup file creation mask:
If you require write access from other applications (eg: Plex subtitle downloads), you'll also need to set the file/folder creation mask to allow this.
In the the web interface, select Settings
Toggle to Advanced settings slider (enable it)
Under Media Management tab, scroll down to the bottom of the page under Permissions, set the following values:
Save changes
Add a music:
Simply select Artist > Add New
Type a name of the artist you wish to find
Once found, under root folder, use the following location /mnt/dietpi_userdata/downloads
Change any other settings as required, then select Add
Link databases to RAM:
Link the Lidarr info/settings database to RAM to increase access performance, reduce disk I/O and avoide constant external HDD spinning due to the very regular access to these files: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5828
Recommended: Protect your privacy with a VPN:
Although we enable forced encryption on all our BitTorrent clients, if you wish to ensure complete privacy and peice of mind for all your downloaded content, using a VPN is critical.
We highly recommend NordVPN as it offers unlimited bandwidth, zero logging and upto 6 devices on 1 account.

[email protected]: [email protected] is a project focused on disease research. The problems we’re solving require so many computer calculations – and we need your help to find the cures!
By default, our installation will add you to the DietPi team group, however, you can change this in the web interface at any time.
Save changes and restart services with dietpi-services start
Only a small percentage of my CPU cores/processing is being used?
This is a known limitation and depends on the WU job and how many cores it will support.
You can however, increase the number of jobs that run on the system to compensate. The below example config has 3 job slots, ideal for a 6 core CPU (allowing 2 CPU cores per job slot):
<config>
<!-- Slot Control -->
<power v='FULL'/>
<!-- User Information -->
<user v='Fourdee'/>
<!-- Folding Slots -->
<slot id='0' type='CPU'/>
<slot id='1' type='CPU'/>
<slot id='2' type='CPU'/>
</config>

Install Notes:
We have disabled SSL and its redirect by default with the DietPi install. This is to prevent redirects to the hostname.
To re-enable the SSL connection and redirect option:
Edit /etc/mympd.conf
Replace ssl = false with ssl = true
Save changes and exit
Restart services with dietpi-services restart
Use the same URL address above, it will redirect to HTTPS during connection

Nextcloud Talk:
Video calls hosted on your own Nextcloud instance. The TURN server "coturn" will be installed and configured as well to allow reliable video calls through outside the local network, NAT and firewall setups.
Also installs:
Nextcloud
coturn
Install Notes:
During installation you will be asked to enter the external server domain and a port, that you want to use for the coturn TURN server. Note that you need to forward the chosen port and/or open it in your firewall.
If HTTPS was or is enabled via dietpi-letsencrypt, coturn will be configured to use the LetsEncrypt certificates for TLS connections on the chosen TURN server port automatically.
coturn by default will listen to non-TLS requests as well on the port configured in /etc/turnserver.conf. You can force TLS/control this by switching port forwarding in your router and/or opening/dropping ports in your firewall.
coturn logging by default is disabled via /etc/default/coturn command arguments, since it is very verbose and produces much disk I/O. You can enable and configure logging via /etc/turnserver.conf, if required.
DietPi-NordVPN:
DietPi-NordVPN is a combination of OpenVPN installation and DietPi front end GUI. Allowing all NordVPN users to quickly and easily connect to any NordVPN server in TCP or UDP, using only open source software.
Requires NordVPN Subscription:
Although we enable forced encryption on all our BitTorrent clients, if you wish to ensure complete privacy and peice of mind for all your downloaded content, using a VPN is critical. NordVPN. Offers unlimited bandwidth, zero logging and upto 6 devices on 1 account.
Usage:
Once installed using dietpi-software:
Simply run dietpi-nordvpn to use the GUI, allowing you to setup your connection.
DietPi will also automatically start and connect the VPN during system boot.

WireGuard:
WireGuard® is an extremely simple yet fast and modern VPN that utilizes state-of-the-art cryptography. It aims to be faster, simpler, leaner, and more useful than IPsec, while avoiding the massive headache.
Usage:
When installing using dietpi-software, you can choose whether to install WireGuard as VPN client or server.
When installing as VPN server:
You are asked to enter your public IP/domain and the port, on which the VPN server should be available. Remember to open/forward the port through NAT.
During install, a client config will be automatically created as well at: /etc/wireguard/wg0-client.conf
Configure the client config to your needs, it contains some informational comments. By default it will pass all clients network traffic through the VPN tunnel, including DNS requests which will be resolved by the servers DNS resolver.
If you e.g. want to use the servers Pi-hole instance on the client only, but keep all other traffic outside the VPN tunnel, you would edit the following values: DNS = 192.168.0.100
AllowedIPs = 192.168.0.100/32 (where the IP needs to match your DietPi servers local IP)
If your client is another Linux machine with iptables installed, you can uncomment the two kill switch lines to have all network traffic automatically disable, when VPN connection is lost.
If your client is a mobile phone with WireGuard app installed, you can simply apply the config by printing a QR code onto the servers terminal via: grep -v '^#' /etc/wireguard/wg0-client.conf | qrencode -t ansiutf8
To allow VPN clients accessing your local Pi-hole instance, you need to allow DNS requests from all network interfaces: pihole -a -i local
Adding multiple clients:
Navigate to the servers WireGuard config dir: cd /etc/wireguard
To autostart the VPN interface on boot, run: systemctl enable [email protected]
To disable autostart again, run: systemctl disable [email protected]
NB:
The WireGuard kernel module needs to rebuild whenever the kernel is updated. On most devices this will be done automatically, when the kernel (+headers) is updated via APT package, which then usually triggers the module rebuild.
If you update the kernel outside of APT, via source build or commands like rpi-update, assure that matching kernel headers are installed as well and rebuild the WireGuard module via: dpkg-reconfigure wireguard-dkms
