Thanks I’ll look into this tonight. I’m still trying to wrap my head around dockers and containers etc. I think I’ve a pretty good handle on it now, but it still hurts my brain after a while.

So, I already pay for Proton VPN, mostly for the E-Mail, but I do use the vpn currently on my main PC to torrent, which I then manually transfer to my server over the network, but I would like to eliminate the middleman and torrent directly to the server, while still being able to easily remote in. I run CasaOS on my Homelab and I was planning on installing qbittorrent in a container, probably through Portainer. I’m already running Soulseek on the server the same way (originally I was running slskd, but it was overly complicated to set up and once it was set up and working there were lots of upload errors and I didn’t like the UI, so I changed to a Nicontine+ docker), but that’s just open to the web.
Yeah, sounds about right. Server is on my home network and I’ve forwarded the applicable wireguard ports on my router so I can remote in. I just want to make sure that if I’m running a torrent client on my server or on my phone while I’m connected remotely then I won’t be getting angry letters from my ISP.
I was actually just reading about VPS’. So would I run into problems if I was torrenting on the VPS? My plan was originally to have my phone always connected to my network (I stream a lot of music at work and sometimes torrent on my phone, then upload the files to my server) and just set up my server on a vpn, but I really wasn’t sure that was possible or practical.
I kinda started a “seedbox” for at least my niche torrents. Most of the mainstream things I download I don’t normally leave to seed that long as there’s already plenty seeding, but a lot of the documentaries or other things that only have single or double digits seeding I’ll make a copy and leave it to seed for a while. I used to host my Plex server from that PC and when I build my new dedicated server I left the storage intact, but transferred my whole library over, so I have a large amount of unused space doing nothing else.
I’m also fairly new to all this. I’m now using Jellyfin for selfhosting. What’s the benefit of enencoding everything?
Same. Haven’t had any problems.
Yeah. I bought it at least 5 years ago as well for fairly cheap. I ended switching a few years ago because I had problems with my IP leaking, customer service wouldn’t back to me, and I noticed the canary page went blank, so I assumed that something happened to them.
Thanks for the recommendation. Once I found the “n” I mistyped as “m” in one of the file directories it actually went quite well. I looked at setting up sonarr & radarr, but its really just me and my partner using it right now, so I’ll put that on the back burner until I get more storage.
