Media Server

A media server configuration to run Jellyfin, Sonarr, Radarr, and qbittorrent in Docker and behind Traefik.

First run

• install Docker
• install Docker Compose
• clone this repository
• create a web docker network with docker network create web
• clone and setup the reverse proxy
• create a user for your media server, export its $USER_ID and $GROUP_ID (or add to the .env file after running cp .env.template .env).
• if there's a mounted SMB volume, make that user part of the group that has permissions to write in it
• set your TZ as an env var, using this list, e.g. "Europe/Paris"
• create a folder named media in this folder (dockyard) owned by $USER_ID:$GROUP_ID from your media user.
• if you want to setup a VPN or SOCKS5 proxy to secure qbittorrent traffic, do that and uncomment the corresponding env var in the qbittorrent service
• run DOMAIN_NAME="..." USER_ID="$USER_ID" GROUP_ID="$GROUP_ID" TZ="$TZ" docker compose up -d
• profit :)

Config

The expected folder structure is:

media/
  library/  # where jellyfin will look, and where sonarr/radarr will hardlink to
    movies/
    tv/
  torrents/  # where qbittorrent will download content and where sonarr/radarr will hardlink from
    movies/
    tv/

• Configure qbittorrent to download torrents
  • To connect to it, check its container logs. It generates a random password upon each start.
• Create a movies and a tv categories in qbittorent
• Configure a download client in sonarr and radarr to use qbittorrent, pass them the above mentioned categories
• Configure indexers in prowlarr
• Configure an indexer proxy in prowlarr for flaresolverr, add the cloudflare tag and use it for CF-protected indexers
• Configure prowlarr to connect to sonarr and radarr
• Configure Sonarr and Radarr to use hardlinking and avoid copying files in Settings => Media Management => Importing
• In Jellyfin, add the opensubtitles plugin
