It takes fairly little effort to set up Jellyfin. I think there's scripts these days that set up the entire arr stack for you in a matter of minutes.

I have jellyfin setup. What do you mean the entire arr stack?

It's a bunch of programs for automated torrent downloads. No idea what it has to do with setting up jellyfin, though.

They mean a script that will install tools like Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr etc

Are these things worth it? At the moment I am manually downloading what I need from Usenet.

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Personally it's quite nice. I just request what I want to watch and the system grabs it automatically. It can download from Usenet too.

[–] amateurcrastinator@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Cool! I'll try to look into it. Thank you!

You’re using Usenet for downloading Linux ISOs and you haven’t set up the *arrs? What on earth lol

I finished setting it up and boy this is life changing! I will have to add a few more TB to my storage!

I managed to do it yesterday for radarr and it is quite something! I have never felt the need to be honest. It feels like there is quite the initial setup and then it should work seamlessly. I just never had the time to do it.
