Docker, if you can run it on your hardware (either your normal system or on dedicated hardware) is a Swiss army knife that can help level up your acquisitions, and provides you with an isolated application environment if you don't want to install the applications directly to your device. For media specifically, there is a suite of applications under the same *arr naming scheme that allows you to index, monitor for releases of, and acquire different television shows, movies, music, and books.
Some container maintainers build in different capabilities into their torrent client containers, such as Binhex's qBittorrent and Deluge applications, that have VPN connectivity built in, so any network traffic running through that container will automatically use your VPN provider's WireGuard or OpenVPN capabilities, depending on who you use. Once you have that running and your tags tuned in the *arr apps, you have a headless, mostly independent machine constantly working on acquiring and upgrading your media.
Sidenote: the *arr apps can be controlled by mobile apps like LunaSea on iOS, and nzb360 on Android. The latter can also integrate with your torrent clients.
Is there something to allow you to browse and filter movies an be tv shows? I've just gotten into sonarr and it's great for managing shows but I still fall back to browsing sites for inspiration
I use Overseerr for that purpose personally. It gives me enough suggestions of "this show is on xyz service" and a good number of genres to poke through.
Will have to have a look at that. And the ui is handy enough to use?
It's very easy to navigate in my opinion. As long as it's tying into the *arrs and the underlying indexer (be it Prowlarr, Jackett, or something else that integrates with those), it shouldn't have trouble finding the show(s) you select there.
Unreal. Many thanks!
