Like many others on here, I’ve finally had enough of the constant splintering of content into more and more separate services, each offering less value.

Anyway, so I have a new 8gb Pi4b on the way and I want to set up a “download box”.

Ideally something fairly automated using NZBs. Years ago I used to use Sickbeard + SABNZBD+ on a small windows box. But I wanted a small, simple, ultra low power fanless box, so I’ve gone for a Pi4.

I’m aware of the *arr apps, although I haven’t used any of them yet. I’m thinking a bunch of the *arr apps + SABNZBD+ and just keep using the Plex instance running on my Netgear NAS as the front end (got the lifetime Plex Pass). So I just need the download apps running in my Pi4 for now.

Question is: what do I put onto my Pi4 as the best base on top of which to build all of this?

Unfortunately I’m a Linux newb, so I want something fairly simple which can run all the apps I need and mount my NAS for storage.

What setup do people think is best for the Pi4?
