Docker Media component

This docker-compose project was created to move on an easy way the different application that i use for manage the media repositories.

Components:

• Radarr (Movies)
• Sonarr (Series)
• Bazarr (Subtittles)
• Tautulli (Plex monitoring)
• Transmission (Torrent manager)
• Netdata (Hardware monitoring)

The configuration for this project is based on the following file path:

-mnt
|-media
 |-appdata
 |-downloads
 |-movies
 |-tv_shows

Folder	Description
appdata	is saved all the applications configurations
downloads	is the downloads folder for transmission
movies	the location to store the movies
tv_shows	The series location

By default, all the information is stored on the /mnt/media folder, but you can create syms lynks to use your locations, or update the docker-compose.yml with your custom folders.

Docker env file

The docker-compose was configured to work with the .env configurations, that is a file where you define some constants attributes used on all the yml document.

   HOST=192.168.0.XXX
   PUID=1000
   PGID=1000
   DOCKER_PGID=99X
   TR_USER=xxx
   TR_PASS=xxx
   TZ=America/Bogota

As you can see there are some properties required by each container.

Attribute	Description
HOST	Is network ip where remains your docker server (ie. 192.168.0.12)
PUID	Some apps like radarr or sonarr move and create files, this is the user to use for that
PGID	This is the group to use when the files are created
DOCKER_PGID	This variable is used for netdata, to retrieve the names of the docker containers, instead of the docker uuid
TR_USER	This is the user for transmission
TR_PASS	This is the password defined for transmission
TZ	Your timezone, for some containers, better have all with the same region

Useful commands:

• PUID and PGID can be found using id $user on a linux shell.
• DOCKER_PGID can be retrieved with the command grep docker /etc/group | cut -d ':' -f 3 only works when you have docker installed directly on your system (don't work when you have docker installed using snap).

Useful steps:

FSTAB configuration for NTFS disks

• Configure the system to mount disk on startup.

  UUID=055577F83C6CFCAA /media/lordvault/055577F83C6CFCAA ntfs defaults 0 2
  UUID=69B2BC0B12B958CC /media/lordvault/69B2BC0B12B958CC ntfs defaults 0 2

• Configure local NAS: //192.168.0.XXX/share /mnt/z cifs username=admin,password=ThePassword,vers=1.0,auto,x-systemd.automount,uid=1000,guid=1000 (you need to verify the compatible samba version, for my ls220de works with the 1.0 from linux).

Create syms lynks.

• ln -s /media/lordvault/055577F83C6CFCAA/media/ /mnt/media/
• ln -s source_file symbolic_link
