    in addition to servarr, which was already mentioned, you can use Stremio. its similar to popcorntime and a lot simpler than setting up and maintaining servarr.

    an RPi’s processing power can handle your use case as long as packages are available for its architecture, it shouldnt be a problem on common usecases.

    you can use it to stream games from another machine using sunshine/moonlight too.








  • For point 3 - I’d suggest OpenVPN or Wireguard. Simple and secure without too much fuss involved in making it work. You would have to distribute keys and/or logins which might complicate things for the users if they are laymen though.

    Also I’d agree 30mbps is not much, but for just a few users it should be fine.

    In general I will +1 Nextcloud, its not the best and kinda slow and heavy, but its the best and most full featured UX for newbie users. Feels just like something like Google or Dropbox would put out, sans all the bullshit and tracking. You can extend it easily too if you ever need to.

    its a container system that saves you from dealing with interactions between server software, config files scattered everywhere and is even more secure and more portable.

    it helps you use 1 server for many services without issues, being able to redeploy a given service without issues whenever needed.

    its a bit counter intuitive to learn, but makes it plain easier and almost maintenance free to run a server if you set up things right.
