As someone who is into tech but doesn’t understand what you’re saying here, is there a glossary, or wiki that I could read up on your setup? Looking to swap to the high seas this year but wanna do it in a way that’s smart and convenient.
I'm not sure if the piracy megathread or FMHY megathread cover the *arr stack specifically, but they have lots of information so I'm recommending them broadly for anyone wanting to ingest information about piracy.
Regarding what the arr stack even is:
Tldr, you set up a list of public and/or private trackers in Prowlarr or Jackett. In Radarr and Sonnar you set up movies and shows respectively that you want to keep track of. Rad/Sonarr check those trackers for releases for your tracked media matching criteria (like resolution, size, language, etc).
When it finds a matching release, it sends the torrent file or magnet link to your torrent client to download. When it finishes, Rad/Sonarr hardlink or copy the file to a library location and organize/name them according to rules you set.
You can point Jellyfin or Plex to that library location and all the media will be organized so it can easily figure out what media is there and grab metadata for it (cover images, description, ratings, etc). Then you can watch that media through Jellyfin/Plex or an app that plugs into them.
The *arrs also work with usenet if you'd prefer that over or in addition to torrenting with a vpn.

Their quick start quides are pretty good.
I'd start with Radarr (Movie manager), add on Prowlarr (indexer manager), then expand from there. Once you've learned Radarr, the others are very similar.
After that, look into a reverse proxy along with a domain name: Nginx or Apache are the two I hear about most. I use nginx myself. This will let you access services using easily readable names (sonarr.example.com) instead of having to remember the ip+port combinations of each service (192.168.0.200:8096) as well as add https if you're going to be exposing things like emby/jellyfin/plex publicly.
A domain can be purchased/rented from a public registrar to point at your public IP, but you can also use them entirely within your own LAN for free if you setup a local DNS server. I just use pihole for this: easy to setup+use, while providing DNS based adblocking for the whole network.
I don't mind answering questions or providing clarification where I can. :)
