Hi. I am currently pirating on a dedicated server (Debian 12) running i2p, jellyfin, qBittorrent-nox, and a vpn. I tried mullvad for a bit but need to get air VPN set up now. My current setup to actually get content to jellyfin is this:

  1. Try to find it on i2p, if there skip to step 4
  2. SSH into server and turn on vpn + qBittorrent
  3. Torrent Linux ISOs
  4. SSH again and copy the file into jellyfin (really space inefficient, would love a solution to this in particular without shitloads of symlinks.)
  5. Rename files to work with jellyfin
  6. Login to jellyfin and refresh libraries
  7. If Linux ISO not on i2p, cross seed

Obviously this sucks. I know *arr would help, but I don’t know how to set up a VPN to not interfere with jellyfin connections to outside of LAN.

How would you go about automating this? Do you think I am a complete idiot going about it all wrong? (I know I do) Have any of you found a solution to vpns interfering with jellyfin?

      It gets even more automated/complex when you add in something like overseerr which pairs up with sonarr and radarr to read your library and allows your users to search for a title and request it if it’s not in your library. With the click of an approve button the automation will have their desired title on plex in a matter of minutes.

      It’s definitely not necessary, but damn it’s convenient and easy now that it’s set up. And my setup is relatively simple. Sonarr is for TV, Bazaar automates subtitles, there’s Lidarr for music, and Readarr for books… The list of 'arrs is long.
