Media box (Docker Compose)

Mon, 01 Jan 2024 12:00:00 +0000

Compose-first homelab media stack: fetch content (torrents and Usenet), route it through *Arr apps, add subtitles where needed, then serve libraries with Plex or Jellyfin, with optional request and monitoring UIs. Configuration is meant to live under a shared ROOT tree on disk as in the repo’s docker-compose.yml.

What’s in the stack

Grouped roughly by role (see the compose file for images and volumes):

Download clients & indexers — Deluge, NZBGet, Jackett, NZBHydra2, Prowlarr
Automation — Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Bazarr, CouchPotato; Readarr (books); Whisparr; Tdarr (transcoding)
Libraries & requests — Plex, Jellyfin, Ombi, Jellyseerr, Tautulli
Extras — Stash (specialized library organizer)
Ops — Netdata, Dashmachine, Filebrowser

Quick start

Install Docker and Compose on the host.
Clone the repo and configure environment variables (see the repo .env and paths like ROOT).
From the project directory:

git clone https://github.com/antoinebou12/MediaBoxDockerCompose.git
cd MediaBoxDockerCompose
docker compose up -d

If your setup still uses the older CLI, docker-compose up -d matches what the README describes.

Networking evolution — building a home network lab

Introduction

Welcome to a new chapter in my blog where I dive into the intricacies of building a robust home networking system. As a software engineer with a passion for networking protocols and efficient computing, I’ve embarked on a journey to design a system that balances performance, security, and cost-effectiveness. This post will detail my experiences and the technical decisions I made along the way.
