docker-based plex & usenet media server using custom subdomains with tls
- Break each service into individual docker-compose files. This might make initial start a bit worse, but makes changes and management more readable.
- Move from Plex to Jellyfin
- Change from traefik to caddyV2. Caddy's config is just easier to work with to me, and being able to make dynamic changes is pretty neat
- Add ebooks through readarr
- Remove deluge because I dont torrent anymore
- Jellyfin is a Free Software Media System that puts you in control of managing and streaming your media. It is an alternative to the proprietary Emby and Plex, to provide media from a dedicated server to end-user devices via multiple apps.
- NZBGet is a usenet downloader, written in C++ and designed with performance in mind to achieve maximum download speed by using very little system resources.
- 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.
- Radarr is a fork of Sonarr to work with movies à la Couchpotato.
- Lidarr is a music collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new tracks from your favorite artists and will grab, sort and rename them.
- Readarr is a Book Manager and Automation (Sonarr for Ebooks)
- Prowlarr is a indexer manager/proxy built on the popular arr .net/reactjs base stack to integrate with your various PVR apps.
- tdarr is a Audio/Video Library Analytics & Transcode/Remux Automation
- NZBHydra 2 is a meta search application for NZB indexers, the "spiritual successor" to NZBmegasearcH, and an evolution of the original application NZBHydra . It provides easy access to a number of raw and newznab based indexers.
- rutorrent is a popular rtorrent client with a webui for ease of use.
- Sabnzbd is a Usenet client.
- Jellyseerr is a free and open source fork of Overseerr for managing requests for your media library.
- Caddy Caddy 2 is a powerful, enterprise-ready, open source web server with automatic HTTPS written in Go.
- Watchtower is a process for automating Docker container base image updates.
- Deluge is a lightweight, Free Software, cross-platform BitTorrent client.
- dedicated server or PC with plenty of storage
- windows or linux x86/x64 os (not ARM)
- personal top-level domain with configurable sub-domains (eg. plex.mydomain.com)
The following subdomains should point to the public IP of your server:
jellyfin.mydomain.com
sabnzbd.mydomain.com
sonarr.mydomain.com
radarr.mydomain.com
hydra.mydomain.com
ombi.mydomain.com
readarr.mydomain.com
Caddy, Sabnzbd, Tdarr, Prowlar, deluge, and rutorrent do not need entries because they run internally, and theres really no need to have them outside. Watchtower theres nothing to serve
-
install docker
-
install docker-compose
-
clone mediaserver repo
git clone https://github.com/elightcap/mediaserver.git
Copy env.sample
to .env
and ./caddy/sample/env
to /caddy.env
and fill all required fields
cp env.sample .env && cp ./caddy/sample.env ./caddy/.env
Pull and deploy containers with docker-compose
docker-compose -f filename-compose.yml up -d
You'll have to go through and up each compose file, and may need to create the docker network first

I didn't create any of these docker images myself, so credit goes to the maintainers, and the original software creators. They are lined in the above Features section
