How to make your own media server at home with Jellyfin and the Arr stack
Have you ever wanted to free yourself from your multiple monthly subscription to Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, etc ? Self-hosting is the answer. Today, I’m going to show you how you can build your own media server to download, manage and -most importantly- watch your favorite movies and show. For this, you will either need a server (an old computer will most likely do the trick) or a virtual machine running 24/7 (or everytime you want to watch something).
DISCLAIMER : To build your own media server, many alternatives exists. In this post, I’m going to show you how to install and configure Jellyfin, Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, Readarr and qBittorrent on a server, but keep in mind you could also do it using Docker or replace some software with other ones like Plex (Media Server) or Deluge (Torrent).
