Its certainly a rabbit hole. If you ever need help shoot me a message. I’m happy to chat about this stuff.

Its honestly not too bad as a starting point but its definitely harder than just installing truenas. Reason I’d suggest it is that it gives you more flexibility in the long term.

If you want less complexity, something like yunohost or CasaOS can be great too

Welcome! I personally run proxmox as my host os then virtualize a truenas core VM and have my docker setup in another lxc. A bit more complex than just straight up truenas but its saves me before. I’d recommend looking into it

Go into sources, click a source then click the actions dropdown and it should say “copy RSS feed”

You’ll need to follow this though to allow the RSS feed endpoint to be hit without authentication.

It sounds like what you want is a way to handle “podcasts”. I just mount the RSS feed from pinchflat into antennapod

I download my podcasts from YouTube through pinchflat to strip out the ads then mount the RSS feed(s) into antennapod

Democracy runs deep in your bloodline soldier. Rejoice!
