How my directories are setup

This will help you understand the volume bind mounts in my compose.yml and help you figure out how you want to setup your directories.

I have a NAS that is mounted to /lake, this is the parent directory for everything

lake

|  |__torrents # this is where qbittorrent downloads to, sub-categories inside are made by qbittorrent's auto management
|     |__books

|     |__other

Installation

• Copy the compose.yml file
• Make the required changes: the timezones, volume mounts, the host url label example.com, and IP address for plex and jellyfin sections and save it
• Run it using docker compose up -d
• Go through the web-ui of all the apps and do all the settings and connections like connecting overseerr to radarr and sonarr, and connecting prowlarr to radarr, sonarr, lidarr, etc.
• Go to Plex and/or Jellyfin web-ui and set up all your media folders. Like Movies = /media/movies.
• Since autoscan and deleterr do not have a webui, they have to be configured using config files. Copy the config files for autoscan and deleterr (optional) and make changes to it as per your needs and save them.
• Restart the entire stack by going into the directory with the compose.yml file and entering docker compose up -d --force-recreate

How to use

Once you setup and install everything and do all the configs and connections right, you can go to ovs.example.com to request a movie/show and everything else should be done automagically in the backend, and the media will be available on your plex/jellyfin to enjoy!

For everything else other than movies/shows, you have to visit the respective app to request for the media you want.
