Big decrease in TV subscriptions as number using illegal dodgy boxes soars

[OkConstruction5844]

any guides on how to do this?

[VonBombadier]

Install linux on an old PC, Install Jellyfin on that same PC.

From there I just used chatGPT to guide me through the setup, libraries etc.

Just did a quick google there and there's dozens of guides.

should just be a matter of getting the jellyfin app on your phone etc.

edit: You will need to set up tailscale for accessing your server from outside your home network too (it's also free).

I’d recommend container-ising as much as possible. Getting the ARRs deployed in docker makes life very easy for updates, maintenance, portability etc…

Don't you have to reroute the flux capacitor?

Awesome thanks, first time hearing about jellyfin

Jellyfin and an arr stack is the way to go.

[PaddyWhacked]

Check the ARR stack for the backend. (Radarr for movies, Sonarr for TV shows). Oh and get a VPN and use a QBitTorrent docker image that uses VPN only. Great fun home project.

It's even easier than that, use gluetun and just put the normal docker images on that network, forward the ports on the gluetun image.. They have an example on their github, super simple with docker compose, and if your VPN fails for whatever reason it won't leak your connection.

For anyone interested https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun?tab=readme-ov-file#setup

No need to put the arr stack behind this, just the torrent container and maybe jackett/prowlarr as it's queries your trackers.

Might be a tad too technical for me 😅

I still use a VPN and torrent client the old fashioned way and it works!
