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

⚒️ Development / Contribution

PRs and suggestions welcome! This project is designed to be modular and self-hosted.

🌐 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)
