Recommendations

Here are some things that could be added in the README (from my experience setting up *arr stacks)

Additional tools

• Prowlarr (manages your media sources)
• Qbittorrent web (not really needed, prioritize NZB when possible, set your ratio to 0% in the settings, enable anonymous mode, avoid hosting, especially in France, hide your IP)
• NZBGet (awesome tool, NZB is not really a problem in France but still, hide your IP)
• proxybroker2 (scrape proxies from the web, also works as a proxy server which sends request through the scrapped proxies 🤯)
• Bazarr (for subtitles)
• Link to Nero's Black Book

Multiple hosts config

• In my specific setup, my *arr stack and Jellyfin were located on different hosts (the requests are forwarded to my "public" host, somewhere in Germany), thus my need to port-forward them. I didn't want to expose any ports. The best (and secure) way of doing in my experience is through AutoSSH (there is an unofficial docker image, works wonder). You end up only exposing port 22 (and you can protected it further with private keys and Google 2FA).
• I also needed to make my local disks available on the "public" host, using Samba (SMB share). Configured an fstab entry on the receiving host. Port is still hidden, but forwarded through ssh.
• The disk used for the SMB share was actually multiple disks connected ("merged") as a single file system. I used mergerfs (through fstab for support on boot). Just remember to allow systemd to continue when the virtual drive fails, otherwise you'll have to physically go to your server location and manually reconfigure the server since sshd won't launch. This is especially annoying when your server is headless and you don't have a screen to borrow, trust me.

Useless/fun

• UptimeKuma is an open-source uptime manager.
• You can configure most *arr apps to send notifications (especially Discord Webhooks) when an event is triggered (such as a new episode, movie, etc...).
