Well I mean if they want a home server they will have to learn something.
Personally I just set my friends and family up with a stremio/torrentio/real-debrid setup. Nothing to host, I just pre-configure Stremio for them. Then they can just login on any device and it’s good to go.
Thanks for such a detailed reply, specific to my use case. Really helpful tips.
I know I should do this, it’s just such a PIA for me since I hate reading/implenting standards so I’ve avoided it. Thanks for the push, I think I’ll make a start on one this weekend.
