Setup a self hosted VPN service with tailscale on my parents computer. Created an exit node on their computer so I can login to Netflix from “home” once a month. This is all free btw.
Perfect solution. But I also only really watch I Think You Should Leave and Better Call Saul. Torrenting these shows instead will be easy if my hack doesn’t work long term.
At its core, yeah. The most popular ones are sonarr(tv) and radarr(movies) then a media frontend like plex/jellyfin/emby. But theres plenty of other *arr programs depending on your needs. If you ever need any help, Im trying to get the servarr community going on here or you could dm me.
I’ll join the community for sure. I have ok experience with Linux as a DevOps engineer. I only have a Linux laptop for work though. Would need to get something else going for it.
My first homelab running servarr was just an old optiplex I bought off ebay. Now its been moved to an old gaming pc lol. I run it for my household and about 5 other friends and haven’t seen much in the way of performance issues that can’t be explained/mitigated. So you certainly don’t need a ton of power. Mainly just storage.
I use overseerr for TV/movie requests since I can stand it up behind a reverse proxy easily and Its a much nicer interface. For content I use Plex/Jellyfin. Users decide which they like to use.

If youre savy enough to do that, its probably worth it to look into running a servarr stack.
Never heard of it, but I will take a look.

What do you do for remote access for your friends?
