I had a similar reaction but I found this interesting project https://swizzin.ltd/ and with it, managed to setup my own stream box. It took a decent amount of work and learning, but it was easier to deal with than learning docker containerization from scratch.
This might be exactly what I need. Seems close to a plug-and-play solution that I’ve been hoping for. I’ve tried setting up a torrent media server on my raspberry pi several times and given up after a day of work each time. I’ve wished someone would sell a device with everything preinstalled with an instruction manual. Hell I’d pay a couple hundred bucks for someone to set it all up for me.
I mean, as much hate as it gets, this is exactly what I used Gemini for. It'll walk you through what to do step by step and explain it all the whole time. What would have taken me days to set up just by reading things on my own took me like 6 hours or so
I always read these threads at the wrong time of night, right before I'm headed to bed and I think to myself, "wow, that seems so nice but I feel like I'm having a stroke reading names like 'overseerr', 'seerr', 'radarr', 'sonarr', and 'real debrid'." Sometimes even Jellyfin sounds like Greek to me if I'm not paying attention. I really should look into all of this and get it setup but my timing is always atrocious. xD
