Anyone has a good tutorial on how to setup a complete are stack with docker on Linux?
Already one that quickly explains what arr does what would be helpful. I know there is radarr, sonarr, bazarr and loads more and I have no idea which system does what or how to connect them.
I've found tutorials about individual pieces, but those are of little help
And then the biggest one: I have jellyfin, I'd like to use it over the internet, bit I need to have that obviously VERY safe. How to do that? I know of a popular reverse proxy for those things (name escapes me for a sec) but again, the tutorials I've found were lacking at best.
I'm looking for something where I can write a bunch of docker files and start it all up from scratch on Linux, is that possible?
For internet access Plex is by far the easiest. You can use Jellyfin but it can be a lot more effort and can be brittle. Tailscale might be a solution but if you want to share with friends it would mean giving them access to your Tailscale network. Then you've got reverse proxies like Nginx Reverse Proxy. This would require buying a domain and configuring something like Cloudflare too, plus port forwarding on your router. Tailscale offers a publically accessible domain now which is similar but you cannot configure the TLD. Still, you're opening an internet accessible port for a FOSS application and this is far less secure unless you know what you're doing.
You can go with this tutorial - https://trash-guides.info/
docker images are available for the arr stack at https://www.linuxserver.io/our-images
radarr and sonarr asks prowlarr to search torrents
then radarr and sonarr asks qbittorrent to download the torrents
jellyfin grabs metadata and shows them for you. if you have seerr installed it manages searches with radarr and sonarr.
I can recommend Yet Another Media Server the only down side is that you won't really learn how to use and manage containers (docker or podman). But this solution is quick and easy it also helps setup a qbittorent container with a VPN. For downloading Linux ISOs. ;D
Anti Commercial AI thingy
CC BY-NC-SA 4.0This was such a great starting point for me! I second this recommendation.
I used this to learn and build a “proof of concept” on an old raspberry pi before buying anything new.
