I just got this stuff up and running in the last week. Here's the basic stuff I'm using and a quick breakdown:

  1. Jellyfin. This is just a media server. Got media files on a hard drive? Point Jellyfin at them, and it will index and serve them in a pretty web UI on your local network.

  2. qBittorrent. For downloading media files based on torrents.

  3. Sonarr/radarr. Keep track of shows (sonarr) and movies (radarr). Keeps track of the content you have, what's missing, and keeps up on upcoming releases. Is able to use torrent indexes to find torrents, and sends them to qBittorrent. Once the download is done, automatically moves the files to your media library to get picked up by Jellyfin

  4. Prowlarr. Easier way to find torrent indexes. Browse indexes, pick some, and it hands them off to sonarr and radarr so they can find torrents.

This is generally how my setup is working at the moment.
