Ive been scoping out options on how to do what I want, and I keep hearing 2 distinct options; Jails, or a VM.
For jails I see there are some negatives; mainly 'don't bother with native plugins because the updates are slow', and 'Jails are annoying with permissions on new files'.
For VMs there are also a few of them; It unnecessarily sucks up resources (of which I dont have a whole lot), and if it goes down it will take all applications down with it because it usually shares a single container.
I would like to run the following;
- SabNZBd (or similar usenet handler)
- Transmission (or similar torrent handler)
- Sickrage
- Couch potato (optional)
- Plex
- Some sort of cloud or FTP service for WAN access
Baring in mind that I am a greenhorn with anything except windows/DOS, what would be the best course of action for me to accomplish it? I can follow along some tutorials and guides (uncle festers guide is pure gold), but I have no clue on how to handle things beyond guides without extensive googling. Are there any "This is how you install/update an app" beginner guides that follow a similar fashion as uncle festers?
