I'm actually setting plex up within the next couple of days! I had to make some hardware changes first (mostly adding more storage)

Are there any good guides on how do to it the way you did so it can torrent the stuff you don't have on demand? I assume that once you've torrented it, it keeps that torrented media downloaded for later use as well? Or does it automatically delete after a certain amount of inactivity on that file? Did you set it up with a VPN, and if so how did you get that working in Qbittorrent in docker?

Yep, this guide is a little outdated at this point, but still very solid. It does keep the file - Sonarr/Radarr actually have media management and you can clean up your media folder very nicely with them. There's containers on the unRAID app store for both that already have your VPN integrated - you basically just plug in your VPN info. Highly recommend Private Internet Access for your provider - they're the easiest one to configure and they're one of the most secure. I'm at the office right now, but there's two creators you want to look out for - hotio and linuxserver. Both of those guys make damn solid containers with this in mind.

Thanks! I'll read up on that tomorrow, though I'll have to do something slightly different as I used proxmox as my base OS rather than unRaid. But that looks like a good stepping off point!

No problem! I'm not super familiar with ProxMox myself, but if it's doable, I'm sure someone on the internet has written something up on it!
