plex#
Plex organizes video, music and photos from personal media libraries and streams them to smart TVs, streaming boxes and mobile devices. This container is packaged as a standalone Plex Media Server. Straightforward design and bulk actions mean getting things done faster.
Configuration#
Plex setup is fairly intuitive and straightforward. When setting up libraries you will
use the root directories, /tv/ and /movies/
sonarr#
Sonarr (formerly NZBdrone) is a PVR for usenet and bittorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new episodes of your favorite shows and will grab, sort and rename them. It can also be configured to automatically upgrade the quality of files already downloaded when a better quality format becomes available.
Configuration#
For security, I like to set up a basic authorization form on the General Settings to
exclude non-admin users from accessing the application using the ADMIN_USER and
ADMIN_PASSWORD variables.
Download Client Configuration#
Indexer Client Configuration#
radarr#
Radarr is an independent fork of Sonarr reworked for automatically downloading movies via Usenet and BitTorrent.
Configuration#
See the sonarr sections for more detailed
instructions around setting up Indexers and Download clients with radarr.
The use of Prowlarr makes this process easy. For security, I like to set
up a basic authorization form on the General Settings to exclude non-admin
users from accessing the application using the ADMIN_USER and ADMIN_PASSWORD
variables.
prowlarr#
Prowlarr is an indexer manager/proxy built on the popular *arr .net/reactjs base stack
to integrate with your various PVR apps. Prowlarr supports management of both Torrent
Trackers and Usenet Indexers. It integrates seamlessly with Lidarr, Mylar3, Radarr, Readarr,
and Sonarr offering complete management of your indexers with no per app Indexer setup required
overseerr#
Overseerr is a free and open source software application for managing requests for your media library. It integrates with your existing services, such as Sonarr, Radarr, and Plex!
tautulli#
Tautulli is a 3rd party application that you can run alongside your Plex Media Server to monitor activity and track various statistics. Most importantly, these statistics include what has been watched, who watched it, when and where they watched it, and how it was watched. The only thing missing is "why they watched it", but who am I to question your 42 plays of Frozen. All statistics are presented in a nice and clean interface with many tables and graphs, which makes it easy to brag about your server to everyone else.
transmission#
transmission . This service runs in a container with OpenVPN and Transmission with a configuration
where Transmission is running only when OpenVPN has an active tunnel. It has built-in support
for many popular VPN providers to make the setup easier.
sabnzbd#
SABnzbd is an Open Source Binary Newsreader written in Python, it downloads files from Usenet based on information given in nzb-files.
nzbhydra#
NZBHydra 2 is a meta search for newznab indexers and torznab trackers. It provides easy access to newznab indexers and many torznab trackers via Jackett. You can search all your indexers and trackers from one place and use it as an indexer source for tools like Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr or CouchPotato.
Configuration#
The files at appdata/sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini needs to be modified
to allow access from the internet and internally.
Once you're done, restart the container and in the UI see that the
completed downloads are mapped to /downloads and imcomplete downloads
are mapped to /incomplete-downloads
heimdall#
Heimdall is a way to organise all those links to your most used web sites and web applications in a simple way. Simplicity is the key to Heimdall. Why not use it as your browser start page? It even has the ability to include a search bar using either Google, Bing or DuckDuckGo.
