Best OS for Arr suite, Proton VPN, and Plex (lemm.ee)

So as I look to build my first dedicated media server, I’m curious about what OS options I have which will check all the boxes. I’m interested in Unraid, and if there’s a Linux distro that works especially well I’d be willing to check that out as well. I just want to make sure that whatever I pick, I can use qbittorrent, Proton, and get the Arr suite working

I'm sure any server oriented Linux distro will do fine. I use Debian.

I will note, I don't know if you're planning on having remote access (e.g. through tailscale or reverse proxy), but if you are, I found it quite a challenge to get proton to play nice with them

For newcomers I'd recommend docker and images like gluetun for setting up the VPN. It makes it easy to forward ports (for remote access) while keeping the torrent client behind the VPN.

I would also recommend it, and I even tried it when i started, but i just couldn't get it to work. Probably permission issues

What did you end up using instead? It’s not a necessity, but remote monitoring and access has come in very handy in the past

For a while I split tunneled tailscale through an openvpn .conf file, but recently switched to using qbittorrent in docker with gluetun. Qbittorrent is realistically the only service that needs to be behind a vpn so it works out well
