| - | The Goal | ||
| - | When we talk about digital media, we refer to many different things. This page will refer to the following main categories: movies, TV shows, music, and books. Audiobooks are a special case of the books category and will not be discussed separately. | ||
| - | |||
| - | What you will achieve (or try to) is being capable to categorize your media collection, sort and organize it, find missing items and add new items to it. You will also be able to access your media collection at very least from inside your home, but maybe also when you are not at home. And you will try to do this as much securely as possible. Will you be able to follow this page? Indeed, if you do your own research and don't follow it blindly. I will not dwelve into the most basic steps, that's left to you as exercise, and i will not provide further support to this page more that what is written here. | ||
| - | |||
| - | I want to stress also that i will NOT help you get access to any of the indexers or trackers that i might refer later on. I will NOT share any media whatsoever, be it free or not, nor i will help you get access to any media. | ||
| - | Detailed objective | ||
| - | |||
| - | Organization of your media collection requires some tools and some effort. I will describe the tools, you will have to spend the time and effort to actually move and organize the files. This can be helped a bit with the tools themselves, but don't be fooled: keeping a well sorted house requires effort and mind to it, and this is up to you. The tools you will be using to this task are the *Arr's stack, which are: | ||
| - | |||
| - | Radarr for movies | ||
| - | Sonarr for TV shows | ||
| - | Lidarr for music | ||
| - | Readarr for books/ | ||
| - | Prowlarr for managing indexers and downloaders for the other fours *Arr's | ||
| - | |||
| - | These are sometimes called the Servarr stack and this is a good entry point to that world. In addition to them, you will be also installing Bazarr to manage subtitles. Despite the similar name, this is not part of the Servarr stack and will require a different installation approach. | ||
| - | |||
| - | To actually access your media collection, you will need a streaming service. The *Arr's do not provide any way to access your media, you will be installing the Jellyfin media server, which is a neat and Open Source (FOSS) tool. There are other tools, like Plex or Emby, but at this time i choose Jellyfin so that's what you get here. You will add also Ombi to the stack to discover new stuff and send it to the *Arr's stack for search and downloads. This is actually optional. | ||
| - | |||
| - | As last step, i will show you my reverse proxy set-up that, while pretty peculiar to my use case, might help you be able to access your media collection when you are not at home, in a secure and private way. I have no desire no intention to share any media collection with anybody, so actual sharing is out of the picture in this page. | ||
| - | |||
| - | All this will be auotmated as much as possible. | ||
