Best OS for Arr suite, Proton VPN, and Plex (lemm.ee)

So as I look to build my first dedicated media server, I’m curious about what OS options I have which will check all the boxes. I’m interested in Unraid, and if there’s a Linux distro that works especially well I’d be willing to check that out as well. I just want to make sure that whatever I pick, I can use qbittorrent, Proton, and get the Arr suite working

Like others in here, I also set mine up with Debian and docker compose. Since it's an always on server I wanted maximum stability. I don't use unRAID, so not sure about compatibility for that.

Data protection is a big concern. Is that something you have in your setup?

I run nightly archiving backups using Borg Backup.

It's compression + de-duplication algorithms have me able to store 18 historical backups of about 422gb ea, in only 367gb of disk space.

That then gets mirrored to a cold storage drive manually every few months.

Ooh so I could do this to my media library?

If you want and have somewhere to store it.

I'm not all that concerned about the media drives; I don't have a spare 30tb to stuff that backup in, and that can be re-acquired if push comes to shove. I tend to just backup metadata + server config/database files along with everything in /home, /root, and /var.

Unfortunately not in my setup, but that's just because I don't have the money to upgrade it at the moment and nearly everything I have is stuff I can easily redownload.

Once I can save up for it I will up my storage and get some back ups set up.
