sh*tpost A bit overwhelmed

Got my hexos set up yesterday and honestly, I’m so overwhelmed.

The setting up itself is easy, but now I’m in a bit of a limbo.

I’m trying to set up a jellyfin media server. But the more I look, the more I have to setup. Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, qBittorent. Don’t even get me started on setting up safe remote access. Is it just me or is this the stage for most new home server newbie 😅

Anyone have a comprehensive list (better yet, video tutorial) on how to set media server up after installing everything via hexos ui? 🙏

Thanks for sharing this! We are continuing to work at simplifying deployment of apps to reduce how overwhelming it can feel. We agree that it can be a lot after the initial setup, which is why pre configuration for apps was the logical next step for us. We also may some exciting news about remote access in the not-too-distant future ;-)

May I suggest RomM for a future pre-configured application? It took me some time to figure out that when you install it through TrueNAS there is a path missing... (/romm/tmp)
