First things first, pull up Trash Guides and set up the *Arr stack -- Sonarr for shows, Radarr for movies, Bazarr for subs, and Prowlarr for indexers/trackers. Then setup transmission+OpenVPN or something similar to torrent behind a VPN. Finally, hook up Jellyfin so you can serve the media.
Does this same stack work well for anime? Asking for a friend…
Oh yeah I use my setup (along with Jellyseerr) for anime, TV, and movies.
Welcome back old timer! Here's a link to pretty much exactly the apps you're looking for: https://wiki.servarr.com/ Happy sailing!
The *arr suite, e.g. rando hard drive TV show, add show to sonarr, import (yes it's usually that easy), movies - radarr, seeking out stuff you're watching now - prowlarr. Quite mature and way easier than hunting through streaming services.
Stremio + Torrentio
Not to be overlooked! This is by far the quickest and easiest way to be as hands-off as possible
Usenet is still a thing and us binary kids have completely RUINED it. the *arr stack plays well with Usenet. TrueNAS Scale is Debian based and has apps and containers. Plex, Jellyfin, *arr, qbittorrent, SAB newsreader. It wasn't trivial to learn to set up but mine is automagic now. VPN is cheap now and lets you get on the public trackers but private trackers are where it's at for stuff too old for Usenet
Filebot might help index those old files.
