====== TDarr ======

**NOTE:** i don't use TDarr anymore, this page might get outdated over time.

[[https://home.tdarr.io/|TDarr]] is a service that can monitor your media collection and perform video conversion automatically for you. It's pretty complex and has an intricate plugin system to achieve the goals you prefer.

Disclaimer: i tested it, but found too complex for my needs (and limited knowledge of the matter at hand) so i don't use it nowadays.

===== Installation =====

As usual, let's create an user for tdarr, with media as main group, so it can access all your media collection:
<code bash>
useradd -d /data/daemons/tdarr -m tdarr -g media
</code>

<code bash>
su - tdarr
wget https://f000.backblazeb2.com/file/tdarrs/versions/2.17.01/linux_x64/Tdarr_Updater.zip
unzip Tdarr_Updater.zip
./Tdarr_Updater
./Tdarr_Server/Tdarr_Server&
./Tdarr_Node/Tdarr_Node
</code>

Now browser to **http://localhost:8265/** and start having fun.

I never got to the point to use it full time, so i never bothered setting it behind the Reverse Proxy. Anyway if you want to, [[selfhost:nginx|this page]] could be of help.

Also, you will need to automate the startup and running on boot, again it's very similar to all the other services, so i let you dig on that.
