I want to be able to understand how to setup a Jellyfin Media Server stack. I get the general gist of some of the tools and know how to use qBittorent with Express VPN bound to it and barely got a basic Jellyfin server setup and connected to my Smart TV but that’s where my knowledge ends.
I’ve read there is so much more that can be done with the *Arrs, Docker, Jellyfin Plug-Ins and other tools but so many resources I look into are geared towards Linux not Windows so it gets confusing.
I’m looking for references to “Noob” guides for setting EVERYTHING up from square one. Things like how to layout your data effectively, understanding and using Docker for Windows if appropriate, best settings for the programs, essential Jellyfin plug-ins, renaming & scraping data for files, how manually downloaded torrent files are handled, if a stack can handle “ripped” files, etc.
Any helpful guidance would be most appreciated. Thanks kindly!
Hey, thanks for all the info especially which files to backup for Jellyfin in case of data loss. That will save me a big headache. Not using Linux, gonna be Windows for me as that’s what my desktop is. Docker is probably a good ways down the road. I need to get Jellyfin just right and add all the plug-ins I might want plus get Sonarr, etc. setup also but thanks for all the information. Appreciate it!
