This is a really great ELI5 explanation of how Usenet filesharing works technically, nice!

Have a look at my German Usenet beginners guide: https://github.com/PCJones/usenet-guide
Let me know if you need any further help
For all German speakers I have a beginners guide: https://github.com/PCJones/usenet-guide
I also use a Hetzner Storagebox for my Jellyfin instance, I mount it via SMB. Works great.
For German stuff there is xrel.to
Usenet is the secret for German stuff. I have a German beginners guide: https://github.com/PCJones/usenet-guide
fileleechers is a board and not an indexer though right? So you can’t add it to Sonarr and Radarr
Feel free to correct me, I don’t know a lot about them since they are invite only
If you are looking for German (or German + English dual language) content it can be very hard to find stuff on public torrent trackers and it’s pretty hard to get onto private German trackers - but don’t worry, there is a solution:
Usenet and the indexer sceneNZBs.com that specialises in German releases have got you covered!
If you want to automate the search for German Dual Language content using Radarr/Sonarr I made a guide (that also works for torrents too): https://github.com/PCJones/radarr-sonarr-german-dual-language
It’s the same, it just adds support for jellyfin
Since you are looking for German movies you might be interested in my German DL Sonarr & Radarr guide:

Does the dub even exist :D?
The provider is there to access the usenet, just like you pay your internet provider to access the internet (well, not exactly like that in a technical sense, but you get what I mean I hope). And yes, while there are some free indexers they are basically useless - so you do have to pay for both, usenet access and an indexer. It should still be cheaper than a seedbox though.
To start I’d recommend frugal Usenet for 40$ a year if you are mostly downloading new stuff:

If you are also downloading a lot of older (think 10+ years) stuff you should get ewaka for 48€/year (or keep an eye out for the 36€ year deal that pops up a few times per year):

Let me know if you need more help :)
edit: good indexers to start are NZBgeek (open registration) or Drunkenslug (closed registration, but there are a lot of invites going around). Both cost 15-20€ per year
They are obfuscated and encoded so it’s not easy to find the files. Since they are encoded they basically look like random noise instead of actual video files (very simplified)
Looks like first and foremost you need a good(that means paid) indexer. NZBgeek and Drunkenslug come to mind as a good start - they both cost 15-20€/year. Drunkenslug registrations are closed right now but there are a lot of invites floating around. NZBgeeks registration is open.
I’m sorry, it was late and I meant the docker-compose.yml file. If you don’t know what that is or don’t have it then it’s not important :D
Can you share your dockerfile if you have one? Don’t forget to remove personal information before
It really depends on what he needs and want to achieve. I host a Jellyfin (FOSS Plex) instance for me and some friends so I pay around 10€ for a VPS + 50€ per month for 20TB storage at hetzner alone (can’t host at home because I only get 50k upload), but he most like won’t need that if he is just hosting it at home for himself.
So assuming it’s just him or people in his household using what he needs is:

If he is also downloading a lot of older (think 10+ years) stuff he should get ewaka for 48€/year (or keep an eye out for the 36€ year deal that pops up sometimes):
https://www.eweka.nl/en/landing/special-deal
Let me know if you/he needs more info or guides, but like I said it really depends on what his setup is supposed to be in the end
*edit: of course you can also skip Sonarr & Radarr and just search on scenenzbs.com by hand.
Which one-click hosting websites are good for German content at the moment?
I know this is not exactly what you are looking for, but the Usenet indexer https://scenenzbs.com/ is specialised in German (+ German/English Dual Language) releases. Registration is open. They have a lot of stuff, not everything if it’s older or rare, but enough. For new stuff it’s perfect and there is basically everything.
Let me know if you need help setting it up, this is the best way to get German content if you don’t have access to a private tracker.
PS: If you are looking for a German dual language Radarr/Sonarr setup I made a guide for that (works for public torrent trackers too, but as you said - there isn’t a lot of German content on them): https://github.com/PCJones/radarr-sonarr-german-dual-language
May I ask what I should look for in the log files to detect this (and so I can configure fail2ban correctly)?
