Composition of docker images consisting of Plex for video streaming, qBittorent as a BitTorrent client of choice, collection managers Sonarr for TV shows and Radarr for movies, Jackett as a proxy between Sonarr, Radarr and various torrent trackers and Bazarr for subtitles, all working together to make your home media center setup easier.

Tested on Ubuntu 21.10 for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with external HDD.

1. create new directory in a desired location (the drive needs to have a lot of free space as your movies and TV shows collection will be saved there), e.g. mkdir /media/exdrive/media_server
2. copy docker-compose.yml file there, e.g. cp docker-compose.yml /media/exdrive/media_server
3. create new file .env in that directory and fill it using .env.sample as a template
4. update line cd /media/exdrive/media_server in media_server.sh file with your location, put it in /usr/bin and make it executable using sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/media_server.sh
5. put media_server.service file in /etc/systemd/system directory, update permissions using sudo chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/media_server.service
6. check service status using systemctl status media_server, enable with systemctl enable media_server and reload systemd manager configuration with command systemctl daemon-reload
7. (optional) update crontab to restart media server every day at 4 AM to get docker image updates (sudo crontab -e and add the line 0 4 * * * sudo systemctl restart media_server)
8. start the service using systemctl start media_server
9. visit each service's web address to configure it

All the services can be accessed using your IP address and their port. Ports can be configured in docker-compose.yml.
