You would delete the download to completey stop seeding. Take a look at the guides others have posted.
My structure is this:
torrent -movies -TV
media -movies -TV
qbit downloads to the torrent folder where it seeds out from. Radarr/Sonarr make a Hardlink copy from the torrent folder to the media folder. Your media software watches the media folder.
Any models of DAS that you recommend? Looking for a 4-Bay
Edit: Would security flaws be an issue for something like a DAS though? The DAS wouldn't have anything running on it. It would just be a big ol' dumb external HDD. Right?
I had been planning on running Jellyfin in parallel for testing but haven't gotten around to it. Plex has been reliable for me. And I really enjoy Plexamp.
It's just what I've been using for so long. And I have a lifetime Plex Pass.
No reason other than price. Everything I see listed for Synology is a NAS setup.
I may go down the DAS path then. I was eyeing a QNAP 4-Bay DAS. Perhaps a NAS later on if I'm in need of a home network storage solution that is a bit cleaner and user friendly.
USB speed? Everything has been completely fine with the USB enclosure I have it running on right now.
I'm not doing any backups with this setup. This would solely be for media that will be streamed through Plex. While having a drive fail will be annoying, it wouldn't be catastrophic as nothing personal or important would be stored here. I would rely on the Arr setup to rebuild.
Honestly, I'm just trying to squeeze out any HDD space I can use. I'm trying to keep the cost down where I can.
I had been thinking about setting up a router with VPN built in. I was already planning to upgrade my router anyway. So that may be the approach I take.
I don't think PIA has that ability. They do offer a dedicated IP to connect to but that is another subscription.
I use PIA for my VPN and I run Android TV devices for streaming. Not familiar with Tailscale so I'll look into that.
What's an easy way to accomplish this? I have a Chromecast and a TV with Android TV. I have PIA VPN installed on both.
How would I work around Real Debrid rules using a VPN+Stremio on 2 screens at home?
The system is down
