It takes fairly little effort to set up Jellyfin. I think there's scripts these days that set up the entire arr stack for you in a matter of minutes.

I have jellyfin setup. What do you mean the entire arr stack?

It's a bunch of programs for automated torrent downloads. No idea what it has to do with setting up jellyfin, though.

They mean a script that will install tools like Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr etc

Are these things worth it? At the moment I am manually downloading what I need from Usenet.

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Personally it's quite nice. I just request what I want to watch and the system grabs it automatically. It can download from Usenet too.

Cool! I'll try to look into it. Thank you!

You’re using Usenet for downloading Linux ISOs and you haven’t set up the *arrs? What on earth lol

I finished setting it up and boy this is life changing! I will have to add a few more TB to my storage!

I managed to do it yesterday for radarr and it is quite something! I have never felt the need to be honest. It feels like there is quite the initial setup and then it should work seamlessly. I just never had the time to do it.
