The arrs mostly support generating metadata usable by jellyfin/emby. You just need to go to settings on for example sonarr and there should be an option for metadata provider and jellyfin their. Whenever sonarr then imports an episode it'll add a nfo file containing everything jellyfin needs to process the episode.
Oh wow, I had no idea that even was an option. I'm pretty excited to sink my teeth into the arrs. It's a little daunting having to set it up on a Linux server plus the networking, but still exciting.
It's super satisfying try set it up and watch it all just work once you get it going
Renaming and metadata is default. Even though I just checked, I have disabled all metadata "providers" in arrs apps (not sure is this defaut?), but I have also set jellyfin library metadata to TheTVDB as first priority. It was working fine at default settings, but had a mess with season numbers of one show (dragon ball) before the change. Iirc arrs are using tvdb for metadata
Its maybe pain to set arrs, but once you get deeper in the setup it becomes much easier and its deffo worth
Tailscale is the answer here in my opinion for remote accessing of the server.
This "you can't Forward your own ports" shit needs to be made illegal. It's cutting off your ability to run your own service and making everyone a passive consumer on the Internet if you aren't one of the big tech companies.
Is it a linux box, and if so would you be able to ssh into this box? You could rename them that way right?
Maybe when IPv6 is widely available, we'll stop seeing this... For now, it sucks, but IPv4 blocks are expensive. Price or external IPv4, something's gotta give.
For the remote management, either a VPN to your parents network or exposing (e.g. Cloudflare Tunnel)
Install wireguard on server, profit.
I think I'll probably end up using SSH after connecting to the network through wireguard.
If you have a dedi/vps that can act as the wireguard "hop-point" (both your client and the media server connects to it) then you don't really need anything else.
Otherwise I would recommend tailscale.
Just skip the rest and use tailscale
I use wireguard in my case!
Is there any way to automatically rename torrents to match Jellyfin's naming convention for organization and metadata downloads?
Radarr can do this - I have this setup and working following the quick setup guide on a Linux box
https://wiki.servarr.com/radarr/quick-start-guide#media-management
If you're gonna use the arrs use sonarr. You can add shows, have it search for episodes as they come out integrating with jackett or prowlarr to find torrents and send to deluge or qbittorrent for downloads.
Sonarr can be set with preferred naming styles and rename things as they are added.
Not related to your question, but does the new internet connection support upnp? You could use that to open some ports if needed.
You have some options here. Your new internet doesn't mean you can't torrent from home. If you're using a VPN (you really should be) then your ISP port forwarding doesn't even matter. You just choose a VPN provider that offers port forwarding on their end, like Proton, and use that port for qbit. The only real advantage to setting up at your parent's place would be if their connection was faster or more stable.
As for the server, the arrs can handle everything. They have settings (off by default) to rename and tag all of your files, based on rules you define. It's pretty easy to set it up to fully automate all of that processing busywork, so you just request things and wait for them to show up in Jellyfin.
