<h1 id="installing-docker-what-it-is-how-it-works-and-why-we-use-it">Installing Docker — What It Is, How It Works, and Why We Use It</h1>
|
||||
<p>Before installing Docker, it’s helpful to understand <strong>what Docker does</strong>, <strong>how it fits into our media management setup
|
||||
</strong>, and <strong>why we run only the ARR stack inside Docker</strong> while keeping <strong>qBittorrent and Plex on the host system</strong>.</p>
|
||||
<p>This page breaks it down simply and practically.</p>
|
||||
<hr />
|
||||
<h2 id="what-is-docker">🐳 What Is Docker?</h2>
|
||||
<p>Docker is a <strong>containerization platform</strong>.</p>
|
||||
<p>It allows you to run applications in isolated environments called <strong>containers</strong>. Each container:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Has its own filesystem</li>
|
||||
<li>Includes its own dependencies and libraries</li>
|
||||
<li>Runs separately from your main system</li>
|
||||
<li>Can be recreated or removed easily</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>Think of a container as:</p>
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p><strong>A lightweight, specialized mini-computer dedicated to one app.</strong></p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
<p>This approach makes apps more predictable, easier to manage, and simpler to update.</p>
|
||||
<hr />
|
||||
<h2 id="why-use-docker">🔧 Why Use Docker?</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Avoid dependency conflicts:</strong> Containers bundle the app’s needed libraries, leaving your base OS clean.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Easy updates:</strong> Updating Radarr/Sonarr/Prowlarr is as simple as running:</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<div class="language-text highlight"><span class="filename">Text Only</span><pre><span></span><code><a id="__codelineno-0-1" name="__codelineno-0-1" href="#__codelineno-0-1"></a>docker compose pull
|
||||
<a id="__codelineno-0-2" name="__codelineno-0-2" href="#__codelineno-0-2"></a>docker compose up -d
|
||||
</code></pre></div>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Easy backups:</strong> Configuration files are stored in small, manageable folders.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Great for frequently changing apps:</strong> Apps like Prowlarr and Radarr update often, and Docker simplifies rollout.</li>
|
||||
</ul>

<h2 id="why-not-put-everything-in-docker">🚫 Why Not Put Everything in Docker?</h2>
|
||||
<p>While you could put all components into Docker, some behave poorly or have limitations when containerized, especially on
|
||||
Raspberry Pi or home servers.</p>
|

<hr />
|
||||
<h2 id="why-qbittorrent-is-not-in-docker">❌ Why qBittorrent Is NOT in Docker</h2>
|
||||
<p>qBittorrent requires:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Precise file permission control</li>
|
||||
<li>Direct disk access</li>
|
||||
<li>Stable, predictable file paths</li>
|
||||
<li>High-speed I/O for torrent hashing</li>
|
||||
<li>Ability to handle sudden restarts and disk changes</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>Within Docker, qBittorrent faces problems like:</p>

<h1 id="installing-plex-media-server">Installing Plex Media Server</h1>
|
||||
<p>Plex is the core of your media ecosystem. It scans your libraries, fetches metadata, organizes your content, and lets
|
||||
you stream movies and shows from anywhere. While installing Plex is straightforward, <strong>where you store its configuration
|
||||
and metadata</strong> is crucial for performance and longevity.</p>
|
||||
<p>This guide covers:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>What Plex is and how it works</li>
|
||||
<li>Why Plex should <em>not</em> run inside Docker in this setup</li>
|
||||
<li>Why its configuration directory belongs on your external HDD</li>
|
||||
<li>What Plex stores and how large it can get</li>
|
||||
<li>The installation script used to set it all up</li>
|
||||
</ul>

<h2 id="what-is-plex">🎬 What Is Plex?</h2>
|
||||
<p>Plex Media Server is an application that:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Indexes your media collection</li>
|
||||
<li>Fetches rich metadata like posters, backgrounds, cast info, and themes</li>
|
||||
<li>Streams content to TVs, phones, tablets, and browsers</li>
|
||||
<li>Transcodes media when needed for smooth playback</li>
|
||||
<li>Manages users, watch history, and personalized recommendations</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>With great power comes heavy disk usage.</p>

<h2 id="why-plex-runs-outside-docker">🧱 Why Plex Runs <em>Outside</em> Docker</h2>
|
||||
<p>Though Docker is excellent for the ARR stack, Plex demands more and runs better directly on the host system.</p>
|
||||
<p>Common problems running Plex inside Docker:</p>

<h2 id="why-move-plex-metadata-to-an-external-hdd">🗃️ Why Move Plex Metadata to an External HDD?</h2>
|
||||
<p>Plex stores a huge amount of metadata—often tens to hundreds of gigabytes, depending on your library size.</p>
|
||||
<p>Stored in its config directory are:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Posters and artwork</li>
|
||||
<li>Backdrops</li>
|
||||
<li>Theme music</li>
|
||||
<li>Subtitles</li>
|
||||
<li>Optimization and transcoding caches</li>
|
||||
<li>Databases for libraries, watch history, video analysis, and intro detection</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h3 id="typical-metadata-sizes">📌 Typical Metadata Sizes</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Small library (500 files): <strong>5–10 GB</strong></li>
|
||||
<li>Medium library (2,000 files): <strong>20–50 GB</strong></li>
|
||||
<li>Large library (10,000+ files): <strong>100 GB+</strong></li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>If this data stays on your system SD card or root SSD (e.g., <code>/var/lib/plexmediaserver</code>):</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>The OS disk can fill up fast</li>
|
||||
<li>SD cards may wear out prematurely</li>
|
||||
<li>Plex performance will degrade</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h3 id="store-metadata-on-your-external-hdd">✔ Store metadata on your external HDD</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Access large, fast storage</li>
|
||||
<li>Protect your OS drive from filling</li>
|
||||
<li>Extend SD card lifespan</li>
|
||||
<li>Boost Plex scanning and caching speeds</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>This is why Plex config is relocated to:</p>

<h2 id="installation-script">⚙️ Installation Script</h2>
|
||||
<p>This tutorial uses an installation script that:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Installs Plex Media Server from the official repository</li>
|
||||
<li>Stops the Plex service temporarily</li>
|
||||
<li>Moves the entire Plex metadata and config folder to your external HDD</li>
|
||||
<li>Creates a symbolic link so Plex finds its config in the expected place</li>
|
||||
<li>Fixes file ownerships for the <code>plex</code> user</li>
|
||||
<li>Restarts and enables Plex to run on boot</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||

|
||||
<hr />
|
||||
<h2 id="after-installation">🚀 After Installation</h2>
|
||||
<p>Once Plex is installed and its metadata moved:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Open the Plex Web UI in your browser</li>
|
||||
<li>Sign in with your Plex account</li>
|
||||
<li>Add your media libraries pointing to <code>/mnt/omnissiah-vault/media</code></li>
|
||||
<li>Run a full library scan</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>All ongoing metadata, caching, posters, and intro markers will safely reside on your external HDD.</p>

<h2 id="next-step-install-qbittorrent-on-the-host">➡️ Next Step: Install qBittorrent on the Host</h2>
|
||||
<p>After successfully installing Plex and configuring its metadata on your external HDD, it’s time to set up <strong>qBittorrent
|
||||
</strong>, the torrent client responsible for downloading your media files automatically.</p>

<h1 id="installing-qbittorrent-host-installation">Installing qBittorrent (Host Installation)</h1>
|
||||
<p>qBittorrent is the download engine of your media automation setup. It handles all torrent activity triggered by Radarr,
|
||||
Sonarr, and Prowlarr. Installing it on the <strong>host system</strong> (not Docker) ensures optimal speed, stable paths, and maximum
|
||||
compatibility.</p>
|
||||
<p>This guide explains:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>What qBittorrent does in the media pipeline</li>
|
||||
<li>Why it should <em>not</em> run inside Docker in a real-world Pi/home server setup</li>
|
||||
<li>Why its configuration does <strong>not</strong> need to be moved to your external drive</li>
|
||||
<li>The installation script used to install and run qBittorrent as a systemd service</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<hr />
|
||||
<h2 id="what-is-qbittorrent">🌀 What Is qBittorrent?</h2>
|
||||
<p>qBittorrent is an open‑source torrent client featuring:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Lightweight Web UI</li>
|
||||
<li>Fast download engine</li>
|
||||
<li>Built-in category and tagging support</li>
|
||||
<li>Excellent integration with Radarr & Sonarr</li>
|
||||
<li>Very low resource usage</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>It acts as the <strong>download worker</strong> for the entire Media Manager.</p>
|
||||
<p>When Radarr or Sonarr find new media, they send the torrent to qBittorrent. Upon completion, ARR processes renaming and
|
||||
file management.</p>
|
||||
<hr />
|
||||
<h2 id="why-qbittorrent-should-not-run-in-docker">❌ Why qBittorrent Should NOT Run in Docker</h2>
|
||||
<p>Though technically possible, running qBittorrent in Docker on low-power hardware like Raspberry Pi causes significant
|
||||
issues:</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="1-docker-slows-torrent-hashing">1. Docker slows torrent hashing</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Torrenting requires intensive hashing and verifying large files</li>
|
||||
<li>Docker’s overlay filesystem adds overhead, causing slower hashing and higher CPU usage</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h3 id="2-permissions-become-complicated">2. Permissions become complicated</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Bind-mounted volumes in Docker cause UID/GID mismatches</li>
|
||||
<li>Sonarr/Radarr struggle to access or import completed downloads correctly</li>
|
||||
<li>On the host, file permissions behave predictably and natively</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h3 id="3-stable-real-file-paths-are-necessary">3. Stable real file paths are necessary</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>qBittorrent expects actual Linux paths (e.g., <code>/mnt/omnissiah-vault/downloads</code>)</li>
|
||||
<li>Containers often abstract paths, confusing ARR’s automation</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h3 id="4-performance-is-better-on-the-host">4. Performance is better on the host</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Download speeds, disk writes, and hashing all run faster without Docker’s overhead</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong></p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>qBittorrent performs best installed directly on the host system.</strong></li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<hr />
|
||||
<h2 id="why-qbittorrent-configuration-does-not-need-external-hdd">📦 Why qBittorrent Configuration Does NOT Need External HDD</h2>
|
||||
<p>Unlike Plex’s large metadata, qBittorrent stores only minor config files such as:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Configuration settings</li>
|
||||
<li>Small torrent resume files</li>
|
||||
<li>A lightweight database</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>Typical config size: <strong>2–20 MB</strong> — negligible and stable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Keeping qBittorrent config on your system’s internal OS disk is safe and recommended.</p>

|

<h2 id="installation-script">⚙️ Installation Script</h2>
|
||||
<p>This tutorial uses an installation script that:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Updates and upgrades system packages</li>
|
||||
<li>Installs qBittorrent-nox (the headless version)</li>
|
||||
<li>Creates a dedicated system user for qBittorrent</li>
|
||||
<li>Adds your normal user to the qBittorrent group for file access</li>
|
||||
<li>Creates a systemd service file to run qBittorrent as a background service</li>
|
||||
<li>Enables and starts the qBittorrent service to run at boot</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>After running the script, you can access qBittorrent’s Web UI and begin configuring your download settings.</p>

<h1 id="optional-installing-samba-for-windows-network-access">Optional: Installing Samba for Windows Network Access</h1>
|
||||
<p>While Samba setup is not mandatory for this Media Manager system, it’s highly recommended if you want easier access to your media files from Windows machines or other devices on your network.</p>
|
||||
<p>Here’s why you might want to consider Samba:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>You use <strong>Windows</strong> and want to browse your media files through File Explorer effortlessly. </li>
|
||||
<li>You prefer to manage downloaded files manually—like dragging subtitles into folders, renaming movies, or cleaning up files directly. </li>
|
||||
<li>You want to have the media storage appear as a network drive for quick access anytime. </li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>If you mainly interact with your media through Plex, Radarr, Sonarr, or the Linux terminal, Samba is not essential.</p>
|
||||
<hr />
|
||||
<h2 id="why-samba-can-be-useful">Why Samba Can Be Useful</h2>
|
||||
<p>Despite the automation provided by Radarr, Sonarr, and Bazarr, there are times when manual access is needed:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Fixing files that didn’t tag correctly </li>
|
||||
<li>Adjusting subtitles </li>
|
||||
<li>Removing or replacing problematic media </li>
|
||||
<li>Organizing your library beyond automation </li>
|
||||
<li>Taking backups of your media collection </li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>On Linux or macOS, SSH provides a way to do this. But Windows users benefit most from Samba shares, which map your server’s drive like a regular Windows network folder.</p>
|
||||
<hr />
|
||||
<h2 id="what-samba-does">What Samba Does</h2>
|
||||
<p>Samba turns your Raspberry Pi or Linux server’s storage into Windows-friendly network shares.</p>
|
||||
<p>For example, the folder:</p>
|
||||
<div class="language-text highlight"><span class="filename">Text Only</span><pre><span></span><code><a id="__codelineno-0-1" name="__codelineno-0-1" href="#__codelineno-0-1"></a>/mnt/omnissiah-vault
|
||||
</code></pre></div>
|
||||
<p>Can be used from Windows like:</p>
|
||||
<div class="language-text highlight"><span class="filename">Text Only</span><pre><span></span><code><a id="__codelineno-1-1" name="__codelineno-1-1" href="#__codelineno-1-1"></a>Z:\ → Omnissiah-Vault
|
||||
</code></pre></div>
|
||||
<p>This means in Windows:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>You can open and play files </li>
|
||||
<li>Copy and move folders as usual </li>
|
||||
<li>Rename and delete files directly </li>
|
||||
<li>Manage your media easily without logging into the server</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<hr />
|
||||
<h2 id="installation-script">⚙️ Installation Script</h2>
|
||||
<p>This script will:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Install the Samba server software </li>
|
||||
<li>Share your mounted media directories securely </li>
|
||||
<li>Set up user authentication (no open guest access) </li>
|
||||
<li>Enable Samba system services (<code>smbd</code> and <code>nmbd</code>) for automatic startup </li>
|
||||
</ul>

|
||||
<hr />
|
||||
<h2 id="after-installation">🚀 After Installation</h2>
|
||||
<p>Once Samba is set up and running on your server, you can connect from your Windows computer:</p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Press <code>Win + E</code> to open File Explorer. </li>
|
||||
<li>Click on <strong>This PC</strong> on the left pane. </li>
|
||||
<li>Click <strong>Map network drive</strong> from the ribbon menu (or use the three-dot menu if it’s hidden). </li>
|
||||
<li>Choose a drive letter, such as <code>Z:</code>. </li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Enter the network folder path in this format:
|
||||
<div class="language-text highlight"><span class="filename">Text Only</span><pre><span></span><code><a id="__codelineno-2-1" name="__codelineno-2-1" href="#__codelineno-2-1"></a>\\<server-ip>\Omnissiah-Vault
|
||||
</code></pre></div></p>
|
||||
<p>Example:</p>
|
||||
<p><div class="language-text highlight"><span class="filename">Text Only</span><pre><span></span><code><a id="__codelineno-3-1" name="__codelineno-3-1" href="#__codelineno-3-1"></a>\\192.168.1.50\Omnissiah-Vault
|
||||
</code></pre></div>
|
||||
6. Check <strong>Reconnect at sign-in</strong> to automatically mount the drive each time you log in.<br />
|
||||
7. Check <strong>Connect using different credentials</strong> and enter the Samba username/password created during setup. For example:
|
||||
<div class="language-text highlight"><span class="filename">Text Only</span><pre><span></span><code><a id="__codelineno-4-1" name="__codelineno-4-1" href="#__codelineno-4-1"></a>Username: aetos
|
||||
<a id="__codelineno-4-2" name="__codelineno-4-2" href="#__codelineno-4-2"></a>Password: <your-samba-password>
|
||||
</code></pre></div>
|
||||
8. Click <strong>Finish</strong>. Your media drive will appear in File Explorer like any normal disk. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
<p>You can also map it via PowerShell:
|
||||
<div class="language-text highlight"><span class="filename">Text Only</span><pre><span></span><code><a id="__codelineno-5-1" name="__codelineno-5-1" href="#__codelineno-5-1"></a>net use Z: \\<server-ip>\Omnissiah-Vault /user:aetos
|
||||
</code></pre></div></p>

<h2 id="security-tips">Security Tips</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Samba shares your files over the network. Use strong passwords and never enable guest (anonymous) access unless you want an open share. </li>
|
||||
<li>Use firewall tools (UFW, firewall-cmd) to restrict access to trusted devices only. </li>
|
||||
</ul>
|

<hr />
|

<h2 id="summary">Summary</h2>
|
||||
<p>Samba is a handy optional addition that makes your media drive easily accessible on Windows and other devices, allowing drag-and-drop ease and manual file management.</p>
|
||||
<p>Choose Samba if you:<br />
|
||||
- Want direct, seamless Windows access to media files<br />
|
||||
- Regularly manage or adjust files manually<br />
|
||||
- Prefer using network shares over command-line or Plex only </p>
|
||||
<p>Skip installing Samba if you:<br />
|
||||
- Do everything through Plex or media automation apps<br />
|
||||
- Manage the server via Linux or macOS only<br />
|
||||
- Don’t need manual file access on other devices </p>

<h1 id="overview">Overview</h1>
|
||||
<p>This page lays out the clear plan for your Media Manager setup—what actions you’ll take, why each step matters, and what
|
||||
success looks like along the way. Think of it as your roadmap that guides you from start to finish.</p>
|
||||
<hr />
|
||||
<h2 id="the-goal">The Goal</h2>
|
||||
<p>We’re turning a single Linux machine (like a Raspberry Pi) into a reliable, mostly hands-off media server that:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Automatically downloads TV shows and movies using qBittorrent</li>
|
||||
<li>Uses the powerful ARR stack (Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, Bazarr) to find and manage your media</li>
|
||||
<li>Organizes and moves finished downloads into a tidy media library</li>
|
||||
<li>Streams your media with Plex Media Server</li>
|
||||
<li>Runs ARR apps inside Docker for easy updates and portability</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<hr />
|
||||
<h2 id="high-level-setup-architecture">High-Level Setup Architecture</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Host operating system:</strong> Linux (e.g., Raspberry Pi OS or Ubuntu Server)</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Host services:</strong> Docker engine, Plex Media Server, and qBittorrent installed directly on the host</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Containerized apps:</strong> Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, Bazarr, and any additional helpers via Docker Compose</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Storage layout:</strong><ul>
|
||||
<li>Downloaded files go to <code>/mnt/omnissiah-vault/data/media-manager/downloads</code></li>
|
||||
<li>Finished media files live in <code>/mnt/omnissiah-vault/data/media-manager/media</code></li>
|
||||
<li>App configuration files live under <code>/mnt/omnissiah-vault/configs/<service-name></code></li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>

|

<p>This section walks you through all the key applications in your Media Manager stack, explaining what each one does, how
|
||||
they work together, and how they share storage space.</p>
|
||||
<p>Your entire media automation system is deployed with Docker Compose, a tool that manages multiple containers at once.
|
||||
Instead of pasting the configuration here, just know it's referenced in the main <code>docker-compose.yml</code> file.</p>

<h2 id="the-arr-ecosystem-what-each-app-does">🌐 The ARR Ecosystem — What Each App Does</h2>
|

<p>Think of your media setup as a team of specialists, each with a clear role. Together, they automate finding,
|

downloading, organizing, and streaming your media smoothly.</p>
|

<hr />
|
||||
<h3 id="prowlarr-the-indexer-aggregator">🧭 Prowlarr — The Indexer Aggregator</h3>
|
||||
<p>Prowlarr is the brain behind finding new media. It connects to many torrent and NZB indexers (sites listing available
|
||||
movies and shows) and collects results from them.</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>It sends these results to Radarr and Sonarr so they know about new movies or episodes.</li>
|
||||
<li>It keeps all your indexers synced in one place, saving you from having to set them up repeatedly.</li>
|

</ul>
|

<hr />
|

<h3 id="radarr-automated-movie-management">🎬 Radarr — Automated Movie Management</h3>
|
||||
<p>Radarr handles your movie collection.</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>It tracks movie releases and tells qBittorrent what to download.</li>
|
||||
<li>After the download finishes, Radarr renames, organizes, and moves the movie files to your library folder.</li>
|
||||
<li>It also notifies Plex so your library stays updated.</li>
|

</ul>
|
||||
<hr />
|
||||
<h3 id="sonarr-automated-tv-show-management">📺 Sonarr — Automated TV Show Management</h3>
|
||||
<p>Sonarr does essentially the same job as Radarr, but for TV shows.</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Monitors episodes (current and upcoming) and fetches via qBittorrent.</li>
|
||||
<li>Handles organizing episodes and renaming files consistently.</li>
|

<li>Updates Plex similar to Radarr.</li>

</ul>
|

<hr />
|

<h3 id="bazarr-subtitle-management-service">💬 Bazarr — Subtitle Management Service</h3>
|

<p>Bazarr works alongside Radarr and Sonarr to handle subtitles.</p>
|

<ul>
|
||||
<li>Automatically searches for subtitles in the languages you want.</li>
|
||||
<li>Saves these subtitle files right next to your media, so Plex and your devices can use them seamlessly.</li>

</ul>
|

<h3 id="jellyseerr-user-request-portal">🎟️ Jellyseerr — User Request Portal</h3>

<p>Jellyseerr provides a friendly interface where users can request movies or TV shows.</p>
|

<ul>
|

<li>Requests get automatically passed to Radarr or Sonarr.</li>
|

<li>Useful if multiple people want to manage requests easily.</li>

<h2 id="shared-storage-and-docker-volumes">🗄️ Shared Storage and Docker Volumes</h2>
|
||||
<p>To keep things tidy and avoid confusion, all Docker services use the same folder structure inside their containers under
|
||||
<code>/data</code>. This path points to your real media folders on the host, typically <code>/mnt/omnissiah-vault/data/media-manager</code>.</p>
|
||||
<p>Each service also stores its settings (config files) in their own dedicated folders on the external drive, persisting
|
||||
beyond container restarts:</p>

<h2 id="docker-networking">🔧 Docker Networking</h2>
|
||||
<p>All ARR stack containers are connected on a private Docker network called <code>media-net</code>. This network allows them to talk
|
||||
to each other internally, without exposing all services to your regular home network. For host-based services like
|
||||
qBittorrent and Plex, container apps reach them via special host addresses.</p>
|
||||
<hr />
|
||||
<h2 id="summary">🚀 Summary</h2>
|
||||
<p>Your Media Manager ARR stack is a carefully connected set of services:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Prowlarr</strong> centralizes media indexers.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Radarr and Sonarr</strong> manage movies and TV shows, respectively.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>qBittorrent</strong> on your host downloads the media files.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Bazarr</strong> provides subtitles automatically.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Jellyseerr or Ombi</strong> lets users request new content.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Plex</strong> streams your organized media to your devices.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>They share data neatly through a standardized storage path and communicate over a private Docker network for smooth
|
||||
operation.</p>
|
||||

|
||||
<h2 id="optional-accessing-your-media-via-samba-network-share">Optional: Accessing Your Media via Samba Network Share</h2>
|
||||
<p>If you want to access your external HDD directly from other devices on your network—like Windows PCs, Macs, or mobile
|
||||
devices—you can set up Samba. Samba allows you to share your media folders as network drives, making it easy to browse,
|
||||
add, or manage files without logging into your server.</p>
|
||||
<p>This is especially useful if you prefer managing files directly or want seamless integration with devices that don’t
|
||||
support network streaming apps.</p>
|
||||
<p>You can find the step-by-step Samba installation and configuration instructions here:<br />
|
||||
Go to👉 <strong><a href="../install-samba/">Install Samba</a></strong></p>

<h1 id="understanding-mounting-file-systems-and-choosing-between-ext4-vs-ntfs">Understanding Mounting, File Systems, and Choosing Between EXT4 vs NTFS</h1>
|
||||
<p>Before we connect our drives and get everything ready, it’s important to understand <strong>what mounting is</strong>, <strong>what a file
|
||||
system is</strong>, and <strong>why we choose either EXT4 or NTFS</strong> depending on how you'll use your storage.</p>
|
||||
<p>This page explains these concepts in simple terms so beginners can follow with confidence.</p>
|
||||
<hr />
|
||||
<h2 id="what-does-mounting-mean">🧩 What Does “Mounting” Mean?</h2>
|
||||
<p>On Linux, storage devices like HDDs, SSDs, or USB drives <strong>don’t automatically appear as folders</strong> when plugged in.<br />
|
||||
Instead, the operating system <em>attaches</em> or <em>mounts</em> them to a folder—meaning:</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Mounting = attaching a drive to a folder in the filesystem</strong></p>
|
||||
<p>For example:</p>
|
||||
<div class="language-text highlight"><span class="filename">Text Only</span><pre><span></span><code><a id="__codelineno-0-1" name="__codelineno-0-1" href="#__codelineno-0-1"></a>Device: /dev/sda1
|
||||
<a id="__codelineno-0-2" name="__codelineno-0-2" href="#__codelineno-0-2"></a>Mounted at: /mnt/omnissiah-vault
|
||||
</code></pre></div>
|
||||
<p>Once mounted:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>The drive is accessible through that folder path</li>
|
||||
<li>Applications can read/write files there</li>
|
||||
<li>You can organize your media, downloads, and settings</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>If the drive isn’t mounted, Linux can see the hardware but won’t be able to access the data stored on it.</p>
|
||||
<hr />
|
||||
<h2 id="why-we-use-mnt">📘 Why We Use <code>/mnt/…</code></h2>
|
||||
<p>Linux organizes storage under specific folders:</p>
|
||||
<table>
|
||||
<thead>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<th>Path</th>
|
||||
<th>Purpose</th>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
</thead>
|
||||
<tbody>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td><code>/home</code></td>
|
||||
<td>User’s personal files</td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td><code>/root</code></td>
|
||||
<td>Root user’s files</td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td><code>/etc</code></td>
|
||||
<td>System configuration files</td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td><code>/mnt</code></td>
|
||||
<td>External drives mounted by the user</td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
</tbody>
|
||||
</table>
|
||||
<p>We typically mount drives in <code>/mnt</code> to keep things organized, for example:</p>
|
||||
<div class="language-text highlight"><span class="filename">Text Only</span><pre><span></span><code><a id="__codelineno-1-1" name="__codelineno-1-1" href="#__codelineno-1-1"></a>/mnt/omnissiah-vault
|
||||
</code></pre></div>
|
||||
<p>This makes it clear that the drive is external storage, not part of the system root.</p>
|
||||
<hr />
|
||||
<h2 id="what-is-a-file-system">🔧 What Is a File System?</h2>
|
||||
<p>A <strong>file system</strong> determines how data is organized on a drive.</p>
|
||||
<p>It controls:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>How files are stored</li>
|
||||
<li>How permissions work</li>
|
||||
<li>How large files can be</li>
|
||||
<li>How reliable and fast the storage is</li>
|
||||
</ul>

<h3 id="choose-ext4-if-the-drive-stays-connected-to-your-raspberry-pilinux-system">✔ <strong>Choose EXT4 if the drive stays connected to your Raspberry Pi/Linux system.</strong></h3>
|

<p>This is the recommended choice for <strong>media servers</strong>, <strong>Plex</strong>, and <strong>qBittorrent</strong> because:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>It’s faster</li>
|
||||
<li>Uses native permissions</li>
|

<li>More stable</li>
|

<li>Less CPU overhead</li>
|

<h3 id="choose-ntfs-only-if-the-drive-must-also-be-used-on-windows">✔ <strong>Choose NTFS only if the drive must also be used on Windows.</strong></h3>
|

<p>For example:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|

<li>You physically unplug the drive and connect it to a Windows PC</li>
|

<li>You want to browse the media on Windows without a network share</li>

<h2 id="accessing-an-ext4-drive-on-windows">🪟 Accessing an EXT4 Drive on Windows?</h2>
|

<p>EXT4 cannot be read by Windows <em>natively</em>.</p>
|

<p>However, <strong>this is not a problem</strong>, because:</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="you-will-access-your-media-over-the-network-using-samba-smb">You will access your media over the network using <strong>Samba (SMB)</strong>.</h3>
|
||||
<p>This means:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>You keep the performance, safety, and permissions of EXT4</li>
|
||||
<li>Windows PCs can still browse the media like a shared network drive</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
