Best depends on your needs. For me it’s an Apple TV with Infuse.
Sorry I meant PF, corrected.
Not compose, I use unRAID. This put this container in the other container’s net. If you google for unRAID you find it quite fast.
Yes I PF. The VPN container drops the dynamically assigned port to a file that a start up script for qbt reads and hard writes it in the config file. Fun stuff.
Just the normal monitor process in the Arrs and then the magic happens in qbit manage. There you can set up targets for your torrents (share ratio, seeding times, etc). Also autobrr puts me in the very first people to download a torrent, so it helps in keeping a good ratio. Cross-seed also pumps up the ratio a lot.
Recyclarr is very important for me because I am assured to request only the very best quality for the things I care.
My setup is complex but only because I invested way too much time in. You can get to 80% what I have in a few days and still get awesome results.
You set the network up as container:vpncontainername
Edit: correction
The whole Arr suite, plus others. I have a 24/7 low power machine running the following on unRAID with containers:
- Radarr
- Sonarr
- Prowlarr
- Overserr
- qBittorrent
- a VPN container
- Recyclarr
- cross-seed
- qbit manage (this is key)
- unpackerr
- autobrr
I have more of course but this is what’s relevant to you.
I also have some custom scripts for patching some things up to my like.
There are semi private trackers out there that you can get an invite fairly easy, as do open signups pretty often.
You don’t need to think about it too much, as most 4K content usually crosses the trigger for freeleech. That means you are fine as long as you don’t do a Hit ’n Run, which in itself is an asshole thing to do.
I have a fully automated system and don’t even bother checking where I am downloading from, or what my ratios are, all is taken care in the background.
I was so perturbed when I saw this on my feed but after seeing bg3 I was unexpectedly relieved lol
You can check the homebridge communities for a lot for Apple nerding. Hackingtosh also comes to mind.
Realistically you cannot expect to level Apple’s target audience with Proxmox’s or even HA’s.
The most advanced feature that Apple has IMO is Shortcuts, so maybe try to master that?
The real question is, do you know what your goal is or you just want to aimlessly learn stuff?
I know it is in Usenet. Also IPTorrents has it.
