What do you use to actually manage your stuff?

Everyone here is talking about how to get the latest and best stuff, but no one is talking about how they actually manage it 😜

So, how do YOU manage your Movies / Shows / Music / eBooks / Games?

I begin:

  • Plex for Movies / Shows / Music
  • Kavita for eBooks and Manga
  • Romm for my Gamecollection and Roms (it supports PC games aswell)

NAS hosting all media and running:

  • Sonarr for grabbing and managing TV shows
  • Radarr does the same for movies
  • Lidarr just for an overview of upcoming/missing music releases
  • Navidrome to stream music (replaces Spotify)
  • Jackett to manage torrent indexers
  • qBittorrent via OpenVPN

Plus a VM running Nicotine+ (Soulseek client) for music sharing.

I've been wanting to do this for a while, but every time I open a guide on how to set it up I get overwhelmed.

Check out whatever the Lemmy equivalent to r/selfhosted is. Very nice group always willing to help.

Here's the breakdown, so you won't be. Set up gluetun (for your VPN) with docker compose. Use another docker compose file for your torrent apps, and put them all behind gluetun (gluetun wiki is very easy to follow). Once they're running, you just tell each one where to find the others, and enter their respective api keys.

Before you download anything, grab a torrent ip check magnet link, and make sure you're getting something other than your own ip. It's super simple, and if you follow a guide you won't even have to keep track of where you are in the process.
