Automated deployment using Terraform

Prerequisites

Create a Google Cloud Platform Account
- Create a new project, taking note of the project ID
- Get authentication JSON file:
  - Log into Google Developers Console, select your project
  - Select API Manager View, click "Credentials" on left, then "Create Credentials," then finally "Service Account Key"
  - Select "Compute Engine default service account" in the "Service Account" dropdown, select "JSON" as key type
  - Click "Create" to download the credentials to a path you'll enter in config.ts
A Usenet account - NewsgroupNinja recommended
A Usenet indexer - NZBGeek recommended
Install Terraform from terraform.io or Homebrew (for Mac) with brew install terraform

Generate SSH keys as follows:

ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/gcloud_id_rsa

press <Enter> when asked (twice) for a pass-phrase

Installation

git clone this repo (duh).
Copy config.tf.sample to config.tf and modify/uncomment variables as necessary with your specific information.
Run terraform plan to make sure everything looks good
Run terraform apply to deploy to Google Cloud
During the installation, you'll be prompted to authorize with Google by entering a code at google.com/device. Make sure to keep an eye out for this prompt in the terminal!
Upon completion, note the output public IP address of the created machine to associate with a domain as you prefer.

Post-Installation

Please perform these configurations in the order listed.

Plex

You need to create an SSH tunnel to access Plex for the initial set up. To do this, run ssh -i ~/.ssh/gcloud_id_rsa root@<machine_ip> -L 8888:localhost:32400. You'll then need to use it by going to localhost:8888/web and manually enable remote management for Plex (v. important!).
Add a Movies library in Plex and point it to /cloud1/Movies
Add a TV Shows libarary in Plex and point it to /cloud1/TV Shows

SABnzbd

Go to http://<machine_ip>:8080 and complete the intial set up (including adding your Usenet server credentials), taking note to create a username and password for security purposes.
Go to SABnzbd config at http://<machine_ip>:8080/config/folders/, and set "Temporary Download Folder" to /home/downloads/sabnzbd/incomplete and the "Completed Download Folder" to /home/downloads/sabnzbd/complete.
On this same config page, take note of the "API Key." You'll need to enter this in both Sonarr and Radarr in the next steps.

Sonarr

Go to http://<machine_ip>:8989 then to "Settings."
On the "Media Management" tab, change "Rename Episodes" to "Yes."
On the "Indexers" tab, add your preferred Usenet indexer settings and API key.
On the "Download Client" tab, add "SABnzbd" with the username/password and API key you received from the "SABnzbd" step of configuration above.
On the "General" tab, change "Authentication" to "Basic (Browser popup)" and enter a username and password. Click "Save."
Go to the "System" icon and restart Sonarr using the restart icon in the upper right corner of the frame.
Add your first TV series to Sonar. Under "Path," click "Add a different path" and browse to select /cloud1/TV Shows. This will now be the default for future shows you add.
Click the plus sign to add the show, then visit the page for the show you just added in Sonarr, and click the magnifying glass, either for the whole series or a specific show/season, to trigger searching, downloading, and processing.

Radarr

Same as with Sonarr (above), except make sure to add the path for downloaded movies as /cloud1/Movies!

TODO

Clean up code (~)
Improve security (.)
Automate post-installation steps (!)
Add torrent support (!)
Expand to more cloud providers (?)
