I feel like this is the most logical order of progression. You can’t really set up anything until your server is configured and your folders are set up.
-
Once you are there, getting qBit up and running is probably the hardest thing to do because it has the most configuration. You also have to get AirVPN going first to get your .conf file before you can deploy qBit, so it makes sense to start with the VPN then move to the bittorrent client.
-
After that Radarr and Sonarr will ask to be pointed to the media folders you already have set up as well as the download client which is now running.
-
Install Flaresolverr so when we set up Prowlarr next, we can add it in case we will need it later.
-
Prowlarr will want to know which apps you want to connect, and Radarr and Sonarr are now ready to accept API pushes from Prowlarr, as well as the Flaresolverr server for indexers which use Cloudflare.
-
Recyclarr or Profilarr will now need to set up quality profiles for Radarr and Sonarr, which are ready to accept them.
-
Emby can be deployed since our media folders are being managed by Radarr and Sonarr.
-
Unpackerr can now be deployed since we have API keys for Radarr and Sonarr in the event we get .rar files.
-
Jellyseerr will want to know which Radarr and Sonarr servers are set up and the default quality profile you want to use for downloads.
-
If you want to sure up your subtitles, install Bazarr.
-
Install Tdarr to compress H264 to save some hard drive space.
