A self-hosted media platform combining ZFS storage, automation, GPU acceleration, monitoring and controlled remote access.
The media stack began as a Jellyfin deployment and grew into a broader infrastructure project involving automated library management, download routing, GPU transcoding, client-access troubleshooting, storage organization and service observability.
Coordinate storage, permissions, container networking, VPN policy routing, metadata automation, transcoding, reverse proxying and recovery in one system.
Storage, applications, network paths, GPU access and client behavior all have to work together.
Permissions, path consistency, GPU access, routing and reverse-proxy behavior have all been real troubleshooting exercises.
Primary self-hosted media service with GPU-accelerated transcoding.
Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, Bazarr and related tools automate library workflows.
ZFS datasets provide organized, resilient media storage.
Selected download traffic uses policy-routed VPN paths while user-facing services remain on normal routing.
