-===== The Goal ===== 
-To be able to manage a home media collection. Grow it, organize it and access it. You will be able to sort and organize your media collection, find missing items and add new items to it. You will also be able to access your media collection at very least from inside your home, but maybe also when you are not at home. As much securely as possible. 
- 
-Organization of your media collection requires some tools and some effort. I will describe the tools, you will have to spend the time and effort to actually move and organize the files. This can be helped a bit with the tools themselves, but don't be fooled: keeping a well sorted house requires effort and mind to it, and this is up to you. 
- 
-===== Approach ===== 
-In order to be able to understand all this i expect you to do your own research and don't follow what's written here blindly. Everything written here is purely from my own home setup. It caters to my needs and to the peculiarities of my home network and requirements. The main scope of all this is to be able to reproduce a similar setup in the future if i will ever need to. 
- 
-I have selected some specific tools and discard others. You might prefer the ones i discarded or find even better ones for your specific use case. Be this just a starting point. 
- 
-==== Tools Overview ==== 
-When we talk about digital media, we refer to many different things. This page will refer to the following main categories: movies, TV shows, music, and books/Audiobooks. 
- 
-The tools you will be using to this task are the [[sailing:organizers|*Arr's]] stack as organizers. The [[sailing:requests|Ombi]] will be used to search for new stuff to watch, while to actually access your media collection, you will need a streaming service. The *Arr's do not provide any way to access your media, you will be installing the Jellyfin media server, which is a neat and Open Source (FOSS) tool.  
- 
-For the network access and securization, i will show you how to setup [[sailing:nginx|Nginx]] as reverse-proxy to allow for local and remote access. I wil lrefer to my specific home network setup, which is the most restrictive i can think of, so you will definitely need to adapt to your own home setup. 
- 
-All this will be auotmated as much as possible.
