Your best bet would be to setup duckdns (for free) and link everything up to a website.. So you would go to yoursite.duckdns.org:5050 for example for CouchPotato.

You could set up a reverse proxy so you go to www.domain.com/sonarr instead of www.domain.com:8989

VPN is definitely the way to go. I'm using OpenVPN and NZB360 together without issue.

Reverse proxy is the way to go. Smdion's Apache RP docker plus a simple config plus a free SSL cert from StartSSL and you're good to go. It lets you disable the passwords on all those sites and just authenticate at the proxy instead.

Windows Service

NZBGet can work as service. To install the service start batch file nzbget-command-shell.bat ( as administrator! ), then type the command

Post-processing scripts

Most scripts require Python. You need to download Python from www.python.org and install it. There are two versions of python: version 2.x and version 3.x. Version 2.x is the most widely used. All pp-scripts work with python 2.x. Some scripts may work with python 3.x but most will fail.

Restoring configuration

If you want to reuse a configuration file from another NZBGet installation see Backup and restore settings.

Updates

Version 15 supports automatic updates via web-interface: Settings -> SYSTEM -> Check for updates.
