piracy starter kit - old head getting back into it (sh.itjust.works)

I have a bunch of old bare hard drives with tons of content sitting on them, and I was thinking about setting up a new NAS / piracy Linux box, as a backend for Plex or similar.

I want to be able to index my old content and automatically grab new episodes of TV shows and popular movies, with minimal fussing around after initial setup. I am capable with technology, so happy to spend time getting it set up in the first place.

Where should I start?

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.

Stremio + Torrentio

Not to be overlooked! This is by far the quickest and easiest way to be as hands-off as possible

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…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

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.
