The setup and instructions helped a lot with setting up. My library is small and local now but the future is bright. Thank you all for writing info answers and docs.

Special thanks for all the devs of Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, Torrent clients and nzb360.

Extra special thanks to the devs at Jellyfin. Honestly this whole set blew my mind.

Jellyfin is the media server. (Like Plex but free open source, and a cleaner interface.)

Thanks!

If I understood the github link correctly the stack is basically for downloading, renaming, moving and keeping track of what media you have watched?

Correct!

VPN - hides that it's you downloading stuff.
Radarr - downloads and organizes movies.
Sonarr - downloads and organizes TV series.
Prowlarr - allows searching many torrent and usenet sites simultaneously, and makes the results available for the *arr services.
qBittorrent - downloads the torrents that Radarr and Sonarr requests
Jellyfin - mediaserver that can stream the media downloaded by the *arrs to you smast TV, computers, phones and tablets.

To add, nzb360 is a paid app to interact with the services from your phone easily with a killer UI. Worth the money imo.

Cool thanks!

This was exactly the explanation I was hoping for. Vpn and torrent I have used before, but the rest was new for me.
