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!

    Wow, thanks for the incredible amount of information! I really appreciate it. It seems like everyone does something different and it gets to be a headache trying to find the way easiest for me. Yeah, I get what you’re saying about Anime and Toku which is a LOT of what I’m downloading. It’s a real pain, believe me. Plus, I DO want to seed as the torrent’s themselves are like 1.5Tb (seriously) and I don’t have the storage to make a copy of the data and rename. Anyway, again thanks for the input. Wish me luck!
