AutoNas: Secure, Automated NAS + Torrent + Media Server

AutoNas is a fully automated, self-hosted media management solution that combines:

• A torrent client (qBittorrent) routed through a VPN (Gluetun)
• A full media automation stack (Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr)
• A personal media server (Jellyfin)
• Secure remote access via Tailscale

All wrapped in Docker for easy deployment.

⚠️ Disclaimer: This project is for educational and personal use only. If you enjoy a movie or show, support the creators by purchasing it or subscribing to the official VOD platforms.

✨ Features

• VPN Protection: All torrent traffic is routed through Gluetun (with WireGuard and port forwarding).
• Download Automation: Sonarr and Radarr automate your shows and movies via indexers managed by Prowlarr.
• Media Streaming: Jellyfin offers Netflix-like access to your collection.
• Remote Access: Seamless connection via Tailscale from anywhere.
• Monitoring with NetData: Keep an eye on your system's performance and health.

🚀 How It Works

1. VPN: Gluetun connects to ProtonVPN using WireGuard with port forwarding enabled.
2. Torrenting: qBittorrent is configured to run inside Gluetun's network.
3. Automation:
   • Sonarr (series) and Radarr (movies) monitor content availability
   • Prowlarr connects to torrent indexers and handles search
4. Download Flow:
   • Once a match is found, the torrent is sent to qBittorrent
   • Downloaded files are moved and renamed
   • Jellyfin scans the new media and updates your library
5. Remote Access: Tailscale lets you access Jellyfin from any device.

🌐 Configuration Steps

1. Set Environment Variables

Create a .env file: cp .env.sample .env

Update the values according to your setup

2. Configure Gluetun (with ProtonVPN)

In docker-compose.yml, Gluetun is the network stack. Ensure:

• You have WireGuard credentials
• Port forwarding is enabled

3. Configure Jellyfin Media Paths

Ensure the /media/movies and /media/shows paths are writable by the container user (usually UID 1000).

4. Configure qBittorrent

Inside qBittorrent:

• Set incoming port (synced via script)
• Enable folder-per-torrent download
• Set default path to /media/downloads or similar

5. Configure Sonarr, Radarr, and Prowlarr

Add root folders: /media/movies (Radarr), /media/shows (Sonarr)

Set download clients: qbittorrent with /media/downloads as base path

Configure indexers in Prowlarr

🌐 Future Ideas

• Optional FileBot integration
• Web dashboard for monitoring/downloads/configuration
• Telegram or Discord notifications
• DNS setup for global access through the web
• User management
• Various security/performance improvements
• Support other VPN providers (ProtonVPN is currently hardcoded)
