Docker Compose Media Containers Arrs

Configuration

Other tutorials I found left out a torrent downloader in the container stack. This stack includes everything but a media server (which I assume most have an already running server of i.e. Plex.tv, Jellyfin, etc.)

Directory File Structure

My naming and structure might be confusing because I use media as the all containing folder instead of data because to me media just sounded more inline with what will live in this directory

/mnt/VOLUME/media
├── library
│   ├── books
│   ├── movies
│   ├── music
│   └── tv
└── trnts
    ├── radarr
    └── tv-sonarr

libary is the directory a media player reads, and trnts is assentially qBittorrent's "download" folder. Other tutorials have a matching set of movies, music, tv folders, but in my case the torrent downloader automatically created these radarr, tv-sonarr apps and the hardlinks continued to work sooo... 🤷‍♀️

I left # proxy notes in there. That way you could connect everything by docker's internal DNS, but to keep things simple, I'm just exposing the ports to the local host

.env

PUID=1000 #change to your user's PUID
PGID=100 #change to your user's PGID
TZ=America/Chicago #change to your timezone location
MEDIADIR=/mnt/VOLUME1/media

!info**

VOLUME1 should be replaced by your path needs.

Local DNS

before you go and link the containers up via each web UI. Check out my Pretty URLS for Local DNS Records, especially if you're a Pi-hole user.

Trouble Shooting

I had an error in Sonarr/Radarr/Ectrr

your downloader qbittorrent does not have a path /downloads/torrents

Looks like the paths have to be exactly the same for each container in the stack

Anime Dubs vs Subs

I'd prefer to have an English dub of an Anime if one exists. Looks like there is a way to do it via 'Category' or 'Tags'. Another comment mentions weighting words?
