Some background. I set up a Jellyfin server for my family to host TV shows and movies for them for free. I finally had enough of Xfinity and switched to T-Mobile 5G home internet, but in doing so, I lost the ability to control my network’s port forwarding. I’m spending literally half the previous amount on internet and getting the same speeds, so I don’t plan on going back.

What I do plan on doing is setting up a new server at my parent’s house and running it on their network. Problem is that I’m 2 hours away. My plan is to use Qbit, jackett, and the arrs to automatically download torrents. Is there any way to automatically rename torrents to match Jellyfin’s naming convention for organization and metadata downloads?

    This “you can’t Forward your own ports” shit needs to be made illegal. It’s cutting off your ability to run your own service and making everyone a passive consumer on the Internet if you aren’t one of the big tech companies.

    Is it a linux box, and if so would you be able to ssh into this box? You could rename them that way right?

      Maybe when IPv6 is widely available, we’ll stop seeing this… For now, it sucks, but IPv4 blocks are expensive. Price or external IPv4, something’s gotta give.

      It’s whatever I would like it to be. It’s a Le Potato from Libre Computer. When I first set it up on the previous network, I had no idea what I was doing with Linux and used a desktop version of Ubuntu to run Pi-hole, No-ip, wireguard, and Jellyfin on it. Then set it up as a server for accessing my Pi-hole and Jellyfin outside of the network.

      The new plan is going to be running Ubuntu server with Qbittorrent, Prowlarr, Sonarr, Radarr, Bazarr, Overseerr for my torrents then use Wireguard for remote management, No-ip for a hostname, and Pi-hole for adblocking on the go.
