About HTPC Download Box
HTPC Download Box is a GitHub project that groups Docker configuration for Sonarr, Radarr, Jackett, NZBGet, Deluge, OpenVPN, and Plex to automate downloading, sorting, and playing TV shows and movies.
Sonarr and Radarr monitor titles by language and quality, search Usenet and torrent indexers, hand downloads to NZBGet and Deluge, then move and rename files for playback in Plex. It includes setup for an optional VPN container and Bazarr for subtitles. Use requires a Linux server with Docker and manual configuration of each component, and Usenet access often requires a paid newsgroup subscription.
