I have been torrenting the same primitive way for a long time. Turn on a VPN, open up a browser I only use for this purpose, go to tpb or yts, grab my movie, and shut it all down when the movies over.

I've only updated my torrent client in this time, the method has not evolved.

Now im interested in self hosting jellyfin with an arr stack, with the end goal being to share it with friends and family outside my lan. I'd like to use docker containers so its all containerized, and of course keep it safe and secure.

What kind of set up, from hardware to software, would you recommend to get this going? Any guides in particular? I'm especially iffy on allowing remote access for non-tech savvy family (like a roku app), so any tips/guide recs for that would be helpful.

I've been searching around some and I've found a lot of resources but I'd like to get the opinions of people in here before diving in.

I have some beginner questions, for example: if I have the arr stack running in docker with a vpn, can I browse the internet non-anonymously on that same machine without compromising identifying details, assuming qbittorrent is configured to only move traffic through a VPN? (I'm wondering if I need a dedicated piece of hardware to run everything safely)

Tldr: Suggestions or guides for beginner setting up jellyfin/arr/ remote access for family?

I don’t know where you live but in some places of the world ISP couldn’t give a sack if you torrent or break into the fbi computers. Here All these local guys next door want is monthly cash and no angry calls during Christmas slowdowns

Someone sends some notice to them it probably would land straight into trash bin or would simply lay there unopened for years, irreversibly damaged with zero sugar coke

That is of course if the mailman manages to even deliver it. It could plainly disappear in the sorting center as if dematerialised by a chaotic force of underfunded bureaucracy.

Still I am convinced they just throw these into the trash or assign spam tag. Unless of course they are local movies then they are scared those ISP fresh CS students and maybe they will comply if they are sober and memory still isn’t completely ravaged by years of academic abu… pursuits
