# EZARR
|
|
[](https://github.com/Luctia/ezarr/actions/workflows/check_running.yml)
|
|
|
|
Ezarr is a project built to make it EZ to deploy a Servarr mediacenter on an Ubuntu server. The
|
|
badge above means that the shell script and docker-compose file in this repository at least *don't
|
|
crash*. It doesn't necessarily mean it will run well on your system ;) It features:
|
|
- [Sonarr](https://sonarr.tv/) is an application to manage TV shows. It is capable of keeping track
|
|
of what you'd like to watch, at what quality, in which language and more, and can find a place to
|
|
download this if connected to Prowlarr and qBittorrent. It can also reorganize the media you
|
|
already own in order to create a more uniformly formatted collection.
|
|
- [Radarr](https://radarr.video/) is like Sonarr, but for movies.
|
|
- [Lidarr](https://lidarr.audio/) is like Sonarr, but for music.
|
|
- [Readarr](https://readarr.com/) is like Sonarr, but for books.
|
|
- [Mylar3](https://github.com/mylar3/mylar3) is like Sonarr, but for comic books. This one is a bit
|
|
tricky to set up, so do so at your own risk. In order to connect this to your Prowlarr container,
|
|
the process within Prowlarr is the same as for the other containers (add app). You'll have to add
|
|
an API key within Mylar3, yourself.
|
|
- [Prowlarr](https://wiki.servarr.com/prowlarr) can keep track of indexers, which are services that
|
|
keep track of Torrent or UseNet links. One can search an indexer for certain content and find a
|
|
where to download this. **Note**: when adding an indexer, please do not set the "seed ratio" to
|
|
less than 1. Less than 1 means that you upload less than you download. Not only is this
|
|
unfriendly towards your fellow users, but it can also get you banned from certain indexers.
|
|
- [Jackett](https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett) is an alternative to Prowlarr.
|
|
- [qBittorrent](https://www.qbittorrent.org/) can download torrents and provides a bunch more
|
|
features for management.
|
|
- [PleX](https://www.plex.tv/) is a mediaserver. Using this, you get access to a Netflix-like
|
|
interface across many devices like your laptop or computer, your phone, your TV and more. For
|
|
some features, you need a [PleX pass](https://www.plex.tv/nl/plex-pass/).
|
|
- [Tautulli](https://tautulli.com/) is a monitoring application for PleX which can keep track of
|
|
what has been watched, who watched it, when and where they watched it, and how it was watched.
|
|
- [Jellyfin](https://jellyfin.org/) is an alternative for PleX. Which you'd like to use is a matter
|
|
of preference, and you *could* even use both, although this is probably a waste of resources.
|
|
|
|
## Using
|
|
1. To get started, clone the repository in a directory of your choosing. **Note: this will be where
|
|
your installation and media will be as well, so think about this a bit.**
|
|
2. Copy `.env.sample` to a real `.env` by running `$ cp .env.sample .env`.
|
|
3. Set the environment variables to your liking. Note that `ROOT_DIR` should be the directory you
|
|
have cloned this in.
|
|
4. Run `setup.sh` as superuser. This will set up your users, a system of directories, ensure
|
|
permissions are set correctly and sets some more environment variables for docker compose.
|
|
5. Take a look at the `docker-compose.yml` file. If there are services you would like to ignore
|
|
(for example, running PleX and Jellyfin at the same time is a bit unusual), you can comment them
|
|
out by placing `#` in front of the lines. This ensures they are ignored by Docker compose.
|
|
6. Run `docker compose up`.
|
|
|
|
That's it! Your containers are now up and you can continue to set up the settings in them. Take
|
|
note of the following:
|
|
- When linking one service to another, remember to use the container name instead of `localhost`.
|
|
- Please set the settings of the -arr containers as soon as possible to the following (use
|
|
advanced):
|
|
- Media management:
|
|
- Use hardlinks instead of Copy: `true`
|
|
- Root folder: `/data/media/` and then tv, movies or music depending on service
|
|
- In qBittorrent, after connecting it to the -arr services, you can indicate it should move
|
|
torrents in certain categories to certain directories, like torrents in the `radarr` category
|
|
to `/data/torrents/movies`. You should do this. Also set the `Default Save Path` to
|
|
`/data/torrents`. Set "Run external program on torrent completion" to true and enter this in the
|
|
field: `chmod -R 775 "%F/"`.
|
|
- You'll have to add indexers in Prowlarr by hand. Use Prowlarrs settings to connect it to the
|
|
other -arr apps.

## FAQ
|
|
|
|
### Why do I need to set some settings myself, can that be added?
|
|
Some settings, particularly for the Servarr suite, are set in databases. While it *might* be
|
|
possible to interact with this database after creation, I'd rather not touch these. It's not
|
|
that difficult to set them yourself, and quite difficult to do it automatically. For other
|
|
containers, configuration files are automatically generated, so these are more easily edited,
|
|
but I currently don't believe this is worth the effort.
