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?

Headscale is a self hosted version of tailscale, if you'd like to keep it as an option

I remember that there is a FOSS option, I just don’t see the need for it. My main issues are not being able to run my clear web torrents all the time and having duplicate files. I think I just need to spend a five hours typing simple but slightly too complicated to automate commands in the terminal to fix this.

Everyones process is a little different but that sounds unnecessarily complicated. See my other comment about the arrs through docker. You could probably do it all in a single compose file.
