I've never gotten the so-called one/done scripter/guides to work. At first I was running ProxMox (which I don't know enough shit about) on a miniPc, and then I have a separate NAS I've owned for a ~decade. I could get Proxmox LXC scripts to work (sometimes) but then getting them to see eachother, and have static IPs, and setting up the VPN, and a webfront end (all of which I don't know shit about)....
I gave up on all that shit... so now... I have Proxmox... running a VM of a HomeAssistantOS.... and HAOS has Jellyfin/Sonar/Radar apps running.... and I download shit on my main PC and then drag them to the NAS storage. It's all.... a shitshow, I get it, it's a shitshow...
But it's still way more organized than when it a just a explorer/folder structure and VLC player, lol.
you are me! keep it up, We're getting closer every day
