The aim is to have a qbittorrent setup combined with a service like plex (or jellyfin?) to easily stream music, movies and TV shows to my mobile devices.

Is there a comprehensive guide or list of good software and hardware one could use to accomplish such a thing?

What I know/have already:

  • Good, paid VPN: Mullvad
  • Mediaserver software: Jellyfin
  • Torrenting software: qbittorrent
  • ???

    Would suggest jellyfin over Plex due to the latter’s increasing corporate greed.

    • Radar - for movies
    • Sonarr - for series
    • Prowlarr - for indexing

    Optional:

    • Jellyseer - a nice frontend for the above
    • Bazarr - subtitles

    This is a super simplified list, but the wikis are easy enough to get started with.

    Edit: cjf has listed some useful links for the same

    Don’t use Plex they regularly screw over their users.

    Go for open source, go for jellyfin, it’s awesome

    I would suggest airvpn over mullvad as they allow port forwarding, which will make torrenting work better.

    Don’t forget Prowlarr for managing trackers and downloaders across all of your Arr suite!

    I like Unraid for the server operating system. It is a paid product but very easy to use. You can run all of the ‘arr’ apps in docker. The docker installs are done from their Community Apps store.

    I would look into the zima board or zima blade, cheap but should be powerful enough. Otherwise there are really great server builds possible with low powered mini PCs possible. See Wolfgangs channel on youtube for inspiration.

    You could use a raspi but there are more powerful options for a similar price.
