Getting Started

0. System Requirements

	Minimal	Recommended
Processor	4 Cores	8 Cores
Memory	4096 MB	~7000 MB

If you are opting for the minimal spec, it is recommended to edit the volumes/backend/config/horizon.php and lower down the processes variables to 1, you can also try to change the memory variables to something like 300 or lower, however, it is not recommended to pick a value lower than 300.

Domain names for the application If you are familiar with the docker-compose.yml and can suite yourself with the variables presented there and not simply Ctrl + R the REPLACE_WITH_DOMAIN_NAME, you can skip this part, otherwise, if you are just Ctrl + R the variable mentioned before, then these are the A (AAAA) records you have to create on YOUR DNS provider, Cloudflare for example. (assuming you have also opted for the Traefik)

Service	Domain Name
traefik	traefik.REPLACE_WITH_DOMAIN_NAME
torrent	torrent.REPLACE_WITH_DOMAIN_NAME
jackett	jackett.REPLACE_WITH_DOMAIN_NAME
frontend	media.REPLACE_WITH_DOMAIN_NAME
backend	media-api.REPLACE_WITH_DOMAIN_NAME
websockets	media-sockets.REPLACE_WITH_DOMAIN_NAME

1. Cloning the base application

git clone https://github.com/darki73/PlexMediaManager.git plexmediamanager

2. Copying necessary files

cp docker-compose.yml.example docker-compose.yml  
cp move-files.sh.example move-files.sh  
cp settings.yml.example settings.yml

3. Picking services (docker-compose.yml)

Traefik

There are two options in running Traefik

Traefik which is provided inside the applications docker-compose.yml file
Running external Traefik (This requires you to add necessary middlewares to your Traefik installation). This also requires Traefik 2, and wont work with Traefik releases prior version.

Running provided Traefik
Simply remove the comments # from the Traefik service and change all REPLACE_WITH_DOMAIN_NAME values.

Running external Traefik
Simply add this bit of code at the top definition of networks

traefik_proxy:  # this  is the name of the Traefik network created by you  
  external: true

Jackett

There are two options in running Jackett.

Jackett which is provided inside the applications docker-compose.yml file
Running external Jackett

Running provided Jackett
Simply remove the comments # from the Jackett service and change all REPLACE_WITH_DOMAIN_NAME values.

QBitTorrent aka Torrent

Remove the comments from the torrent service and replace REPLACE_WITH_DOMAIN_NAME with your actual domain name

Be sure to replace `REPLACE_WITH_DOMAIN_NAME` entries in the `docker-compose.yml` file with your domain name and `REPLACE_WITH_DOMAIN` in the `move_files.sh` file.

4. Populating the `settings.yml`

jackett:    
  version: v2.0  # This is the Jackett API version, leave it as is if you dont know what this means  
  url: jackett  # URL to Jackett server, if you have your own installation, provider the full URL

  timeout: 10.0    
  max_redirects: 5    
    
proxy:  # Proxy configuration, leave it as is if you dont plan to use proxy  
  type: socks5    
  host: 127.0.0.1    
  port: 1080    
  username: null    
  password: null    
    
search:    
  languages:    
    - en    
    - ru    
    
media:
  tmdb_api_version: 3  # Just dont touch it, i will issue a warning if you will need to change it

  plex_url:  # URL for your plex installation (without http:// or https://)  
  plex_api_key:    # Instructions can be found here (https://support.plex.tv/articles/204059436-finding-an-authentication-token-x-plex-token)  
    
storage:    
  preferred: drive_name_1 # Name of the preferred drive (the one which is defined in the plex mounts section)  
  threshold:    
    value: 500  # With the configuration as below, this means that when there is 500 GB or less on the drive, next drive will be selected  
    units: GB    
    percentage: false    
  mounts:    
    plex:    
       drive_name_1: /drive_name_1/path/to/the/plex/library/on/that/drive  
       drive_name_2: /drive_name_2/path/to/the/plex/library/on/that/drive  
    torrent:  /path/to/the/folder/inside/applications/root/volumes/torrent/completed # ./volumes/torrent/completed  
  process_only:    
    - avi

  password: ""  # Password used for the web authentication on the torrent client  
  ignore_parts:    
    - remux

You also have to edit the docker-compose.yml file and add the mounts there. Here are the examples for the 2 services (if you are running your own instance of QBitTorrent, then you only need to edit the &app-service app: &app-service-template service)

&app-service app: &app-service-template

&app-service app: &app-service-template  
  image: registry.freedomcore.ru/darki73/plexmediamanager/application:latest  
  user: "${USER_ID:-1000}:${GROUP_ID:-1000}"  
  restart: always  
  volumes:  
    - home-dir:/home/user  # This one is the default one, dont touch it
    - ./volumes/backend:/app:rw    # This one is the default one, dont touch it
    - .git:/app/.git:ro    # This one is the default one, dont touch it
    - ./settings.yml:/app/storage/app/private/settings.yml:ro  # This one is the default one, dont touch it
    - /drive_name_1/path/to/the/plex/library/on/that/drive/series:/app/storage/app/private/plex/series/drive_name_1
    - /drive_name_2/path/to/the/plex/library/on/that/drive/series:/app/storage/app/private/plex/series/drive_name_2
    - /drive_name_1/path/to/the/plex/library/on/that/drive/movies:/app/storage/app/private/plex/movies/drive_name_1
    - /drive_name_2/path/to/the/plex/library/on/that/drive/movies:/app/storage/app/private/plex/movies/drive_name_2
    - /drive_name/path/to/qbittorrent/completed/series:/app/storage/app/private/torrent/series
    - /drive_name/path/to/qbittorrent/completed/movies:/app/storage/app/private/torrent/movies
