I wish I knew how to set up shit like this. Meanwhile I struggle trying to figure out how to set up Jellyseer, the ArrStack, and VPN/Torrent bullshit.... I can watch jellyfin at home... that's about it. And I have to download sepeartely and then move things to the the storage because I don't know how else to do that shit safely.

    TechHut has a guide on the arr stack and also a repo on github with most stuff setup for docker. You can just copy the .yaml file, tweak a few things to your liking and off you go.

    I've never gotten the so-called one/done scripter/guides to work. At first I was running ProxMox (which I don't know enough shit about) on a miniPc, and then I have a separate NAS I've owned for a ~decade. I could get Proxmox LXC scripts to work (sometimes) but then getting them to see eachother, and have static IPs, and setting up the VPN, and a webfront end (all of which I don't know shit about)....

    I gave up on all that shit... so now... I have Proxmox... running a VM of a HomeAssistantOS.... and HAOS has Jellyfin/Sonar/Radar apps running.... and I download shit on my main PC and then drag them to the NAS storage. It's all.... a shitshow, I get it, it's a shitshow...

    But it's still way more organized than when it a just a explorer/folder structure and VLC player, lol.

    I set mine up using Swizzin Community Edition. You don't have to host it on Swizzin, or on a VPS at all. It isnt Docker-based (huge plus for me). You choose which services you want when you first run the script, and it configures the reverse proxy for you. Easiest way to set up that media stack that I've found.

    ,Now this seems really nice, but can you add other applications such as moonfin instead of Jellyfin?

    If you want the proxy configs automatically set up, you're limited to the list of applications. You could install other applications manually, or perhaps modify the scripts to include the applications you want.

    Been in your shoes. Frankly, storage setup for Radarr and Sonarr is one big pain in the ass for script kiddies like me. I did figure it out by pure trial and error in the end. But it is not as user friendly as it could have been.

    For a VPN for torrents, make sure you use one that supports port forwarding. AirVPN is a good choice. If you're okay with Docker, gluetun is a good choice - you create a Gluetun container for the VPN, then any other Docker containers (torrent client, whatever) can use the VPN. It avoids having to use the VPN for everything.

    Try using an LLM to walk you through setting it all up in a docker container.
