Setup

Plex

You have to Plex with port forward or on the docker host firstly to create and setup the new server.

port forward example for Linux:

ssh [email protected] -L 32400:127.0.0.1:32400

where:

• the user is the system (ssh) user on docker host
• 192.168.1.100 is the IP address of the docker host

Login on the Plex UI and setup the server.

Add these folders to the server:

• /data/movies as movie store
• /data/series as TV series store
• /data/photos as photo store
• /data/other as other store (home movies, photos, etc.)

Transmission

the default setup of the transmission is good enough for this stack, but You can modify any config with the default transmission/config/settings.json config file. Like upload limit, speed limits and others. Save the file and restart the transmission container (docker-compose restart transmission) after the modification.

Sonarr

This is a TV shows search tool.

Setup:

• You have to add some torrent sites (like rarbg.com) as indexer (search source) in the Settings menu
• You have to add the transmission as download client in the Settings menu. (Name: trans1, Host: IP of your docker host)

Radarr

This is a movie search tool.

Setup is very same as Sonarr.
