## What it is
A Docker Compose-based self-hosted media stack bundling Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, qBittorrent, Seerr, Jellyfin, and AI-powered recommendations via Recommendarr. It routes torrent traffic through a VPN (Gluetun) for privacy and is aimed at homelab users.

## Use cases
- set up a self-hosted media server with docker compose
- run sonarr radarr qbittorrent and jellyfin together
- route torrent downloads through a vpn
- self-host movie and tv show streaming
- get ai-powered movie recommendations for my media library
- build a homelab media automation stack
- manage media requests with seerr

## When to choose
- you want a pre-configured, one-command deployment of the full *arr media ecosystem
- you need VPN-protected torrenting with provider options like NordVPN or ProtonVPN
- you run a homelab and want media management, requests, and streaming in one stack
- you want AI-based recommendations integrated with your media server

## When to avoid
- you only need a single media player or streamer without automation
- you cannot or do not want to use Docker Compose
- you need a managed/cloud media solution rather than self-hosting
- downloading copyrighted media is illegal in your jurisdiction
