There are currently around 14 individual components involved — torrent engine, HLS pipeline, subtitles, storage, APIs, etc.
It’s technically possible to run everything manually without Docker, but you’d need to wire all services together, manage configs, ports, and background jobs.
That’s why I strongly recommend the Docker setup — it’s the easiest way to get things running.

You can absolutely take a look at the Dockerfile (https://github.com/webtor-io/self-hosted/blob/main/Dockerfil...). It should give you a clear idea of how things are connected, if you want to replicate it manually on FreeBSD.
