There were too many options in this post and I want to see what are the really interesting ones.
To complement this post:
What file-sharing and media organizing software do you wish that existed?
Audiobookshelf for a self-hosted audiobook and podcast server.
Tixati is an alternative torrenting program that I switched to from QBitorrent.
mldonkey cross-platform multi-network p2p daemon
Musicbrainz Picard for fetching music metadata and standardizing file naming schemes.
digikam for image and video collection management and viewing (also does duplicate detection)
beets music library management and tagging for geeks
Sonarr, Radarr, qBitorrent, SabNzbd, Jackett and frontends like Kodi and Jellyfin. Jackett can interrogate a whole bunch of public and private torrent trackers for you, fetch a .torrent file given a set of criteria (like are there seeders) and put it in your torrent client for you. It does all this automatically from Sonarr/Radarr once set up in them.
I set all this up in my server using my phone and an Android SSH client from my bed while recovering from nasty painful surgery and it’s been pretty solid once I worked out the kinks since.
Please, read the post. Nobody asked you this.
Didn’t ask for this either. Would have been better if you had posted nothing. Take your bickering elsewhere.
You’re not my dad.
