Hi. I am currently pirating on a dedicated server (Debian 12) running i2p, jellyfin, qBittorrent-nox, and a vpn. I tried mullvad for a bit but need to get air VPN set up now. My current setup to actually get content to jellyfin is this:
- Try to find it on i2p, if there skip to step 4
- SSH into server and turn on vpn + qBittorrent
- Torrent Linux ISOs
- SSH again and copy the file into jellyfin (really space inefficient, would love a solution to this in particular without shitloads of symlinks.)
- Rename files to work with jellyfin
- Login to jellyfin and refresh libraries
- If Linux ISO not on i2p, cross seed
Obviously this sucks. I know *arr would help, but I don’t know how to set up a VPN to not interfere with jellyfin connections to outside of LAN.
How would you go about automating this? Do you think I am a complete idiot going about it all wrong? (I know I do) Have any of you found a solution to vpns interfering with jellyfin?
I too have a similar debian setup with web UI running qbt, whilst also connected to a VPN. Would love to know how to connect to it outside of the local connection.
I have heard legends of a qbt + vpn docker image, but I haven’t found it.
- Join a private tracker
- Download torrent file
- Upload torrent file to qbt web gui, specify a path shared by your Jellyfin library
- Use Identify in Jellyfin if the file is not recognized by name
The arrs would be your best bet to reduce your input. If i’m not mistaken you can run them all through docker including a version of qbittorrentb that’s bound to a vpn and the only way it access the internet is through that vpn. Or you could split tunnel your vpn and bind your qbittorrent to it and bipass your jellyfin instance.
