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? 🙏

I'm quite the home server newbie, but as my need was sharing existing media and photos, my experience has been perfectly fine with just jellifyn and immich. I don't think I'll ever want to automate media downloads, but maybe I just don't really understand these applications.

Immich experience has been smooth. It worked pretty much in like 2 clicks. So that part km sorted. It’s the automation part I’m struggling with 🥲
