Summary

This repository deploys a home media server stack with Docker Compose including:

• Jellyfin (media server)
• Sonarr (TV series)
• Radarr (movies)
• Jackett (indexers)
• FlareSolverr (CAPTCHA resolver for some indexers)
• qBittorrent (download client)
• Jellyseerr (request UI for Jellyfin)
• Requestrr (optional request bot)

Requirements

• A user with sudo privileges
• git and curl (sudo apt install git curl)
• Docker and Docker Compose
• Copy example.env to .env and edit MEDIA_SERVER_PATH and MEDIA_PATH to match your folders

Installation

Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/jsilverdev/docker-media-server.git
cd docker-media-server

Create the folders you will use. Example layout:

/home/user/
├── media-server
|   ├── jackett
|   ├── jellyfin
|   ├── jellyseerr-data
|   ├── qbittorrent
|   ├── radarr
|   ├── requestrr-config
|   └── sonarr
└── media-content
    └── media
        ├── movies
        ├── books
        └── tvseries
    └── downloads

Copy example.env to .env and edit MEDIA_SERVER_PATH and MEDIA_PATH to match your folders.

Start the stack (use the provided script):

chmod +x ./init.sh
./init.sh

Auto-download configuration

General

Configure Jackett at http://localhost:9117 to add indexers (e.g. 1337x, EZTV) and obtain Torznab feeds and API keys.

Configure qBittorrent Web UI (default http://localhost:8080) for speed limits and schedules as needed.

Sonarr (TV)

Interface: http://localhost:8989

Settings > Indexers: add Jackett indexers (filter for TV shows).

Radarr (Movies)

Interface: http://localhost:7878

Settings > Indexers: add Jackett indexers (filter for movies).

Request UIs (Jellyseerr / Requestrr)

You can expose request interfaces so users can request movies or TV shows for the server:

• Jellyseerr: Web UI at http://localhost:5055 (default). Configure connections to Jellyfin, Sonarr and Radarr in the Jellyseerr settings.
• Requestrr: Web UI at http://localhost:4545 (default). Configure it to forward requests to Sonarr/Radarr and to your notification/chat platform.

Both services read configuration from the environment and volumes defined in docker-compose.yaml. Adjust ports in example.env if needed.

If you want users to request content via a friendly UI, enable and configure jellyseerr (recommended) and/or requestrr.

Services and default ports

• Jellyfin: 8096 (HTTP), 8920 (optional HTTPS)
• Sonarr: 8989
• Radarr: 7878
• Jackett: 9117
• FlareSolverr: used internally by Jackett
• qBittorrent (Web UI): 8080
• Jellyseerr: 5055
• Requestrr: 4545

Note: Ports can be overridden with environment variables in .env.

Downloads

Add series in Sonarr and movies in Radarr. Both use qBittorrent to download and move files into the MEDIA_PATH locations.

Accessing content

Open Jellyfin at http://localhost:8096 (or https://localhost:8920 if you configure TLS). From other devices on your LAN, replace localhost with the server IP.

Usage

• Add/monitor content in Sonarr/Radarr.
• Let qBittorrent download and complete transfers.
• Stream content in Jellyfin.
