## What it is
MediaStack is a set of Docker Compose files and configuration guides for deploying a complete home media server stack, including Jellyfin/Plex, the *ARR media managers, download clients, dashboards, and transcoding tools. It bundles secure networking out of the box with reverse proxy, SSO/MFA authentication, VPN-routed outbound traffic, and remote access via Tailscale/Headscale.

## Use cases
- set up a home media server with docker
- deploy plex and jellyfin with arr apps
- self-hosted media automation stack
- secure remote access to home server with mfa
- route torrent traffic through a vpn in docker
- complete homelab docker compose setup
- automate movie and tv downloads with radarr sonarr

## When to choose
- you want a pre-configured, all-in-one Docker Compose media stack with security and remote access handled for you
- you are not deeply technical and want step-by-step guides linking all apps together
- you need SSO/MFA, VPN outbound routing, and reverse proxy baked into the deployment

## When to avoid
- you only need one or two media apps and prefer minimal, hand-rolled compose files
- you want a turnkey appliance or GUI installer rather than editing environment files
- you need a project with a formal license or enterprise support
