All these applications run in their own docker containers. I used to do local web development in a virtual machine, now it all sits on this server. Love it and it works 'magically'.

Sounds like a good setup!

CouchPotato seems neat. Are you familiar with any similar services for TV Shows? Often I like to enjoy obscure shows that don't make it to Netflix.

Thanks!

Do I assume you pay for safe access to content but not for the content itself?
Guilty on some of the non-paid content. Make use of a VPN when needing to download.
