As the title states I am wondering what would be a good machine to build for my piracy. I am open to buying a used machine on eBay and expanding over time.

The last time I was sailing I had a Dell R610 Server Rack but I don’t have the space for this now. So something that can sit behind a tv stand in the corner next to the router.

  • I would be running Plex / Jellyfin
  • Some kind of torrent software
  • Something for NZBs if still viable
  • then the usual SONARR, RADARR, etc

I would like to be able to let friends connect from outside my house to stream media and allow them access so they can add films and the server goes off and finds them, extracts them, and adds them to the media server.

Thanks.

    cloudflare would, but you dont even need it if you are comfortable with port forwarding. a reverse proxy just forwards traffic to and from a device through a device. nginx is a popular platform for reverse proxies because it’s easy to set up and configure.

      Thanks! Someone else said video streaming is against their TOS, so I may have shot myself in the foot
