That’s the spirit! If you know your way around Linux admin, docker and such, don’t hesitate to dive into jellyseerr + *arr + Jellyfin, it was much simpler to set up than I expected. Once everything’s up and running, the experience is far superior to any commercial streaming service.

You’re speaking Greek but I’ll figure it out. I always do.

The trash-guides they posted are for a majority of the “arr” stack (Sonarr, Radarr, etc) that monitor stuff you ask for and automate a lot of the download handling.
Jellyfin is a FOSS media server alternative to Plex. They each have their minor pluses and minuses. Personally plex has been easier to get non-techie friends/family to use my system too.
Docker is a containerization system. Basically instead of setting up a physical computer, or one or more virtual machines, you have a self contained bundle of everything a program needs to run that is linked to storage/network stuff on your actual system. Then they talk to each other.
One thing to keep in mind is that this is all immensely scalable. Especially if you don’t care about long term storage of a bunch of shows/movies. You can set it up on your personal PC and it’ll work fine. Set it up on a dedicated machineand it’ll be a bit more reliable. Moving stuff around is generally pretty painless. ( as long as the trash-guides or some similar standardization is followed )
