Hello internet 😎
|
||||
|
||||
I'm here with a **big** announcement: I have created a bash script that installs my entire media server,
|
||||
fast and easy 🎉
|
||||
|
||||
{{< figure src="https://yams.media/install-yams.gif" >}}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## TL;DR {#tl-dr}
|
||||
|
||||
I've created YAMS. A full media server that allows you to download and categorize your shows/movies.
|
||||
|
||||
Go to YAMS's website here: <http://yams.media> or check it on Gitlab here: <https://gitlab.com/rogs/yams>.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## A little history {#a-little-history}
|
||||
|
||||
When I first set up my media server, it took me ~2 weeks to install, configure and understand how it's
|
||||
supposed to work: Linking Sonarr, Radarr, Jackett together, choosing a good BitTorrent downloader,
|
||||
understanding all the moving pieces, choosing Emby, etc. My plan with YAMS is to make it easier
|
||||
for noobs (and lazy people like me) to set up their media servers super easily.
|
||||
|
||||
I have been working on YAMS for ~2 weeks. The docker-compose file has existed for almost 2 years but
|
||||
without any configuration instructions. Basically, you had to do everything manually, and if you didn't
|
||||
have any experience with docker, docker-compose, or any of the services included, it was very cumbersome
|
||||
to configure and understand how everything worked together.
|
||||
|
||||
So basically, I'm encapsulating my experience for anyone that wants to use it. If you don't like it, at
|
||||
least you might learn something from my experience, YAMS's [docker-compose file](https://git.rogs.me/yams.git/tree/docker-compose.example.yaml) or its [configuration
|
||||
tutorial](https://yams.media/config/).
|
||||
|
||||
This is my first (and hopefully not last!) piece of open source software. I know it's just a [bash script](https://git.rogs.me/yams.git/tree/install.sh)
|
||||
that sets up a [docker-compose](https://git.rogs.me/yams.git/tree/docker-compose.example.yaml) file, but seeing how my friends are using it and giving me feedback is
|
||||
exciting and addictive!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Why? {#why}
|
||||
|
||||
In 2019 I wanted a setup that my non-technical girlfriend could use without any problems, so I started
|
||||
designing my media server using multiple open source projects and running them on top of docker.
|
||||
|
||||
Today I would like to say it works very well 😎 And most importantly, I accomplished my goal: My
|
||||
girlfriend uses it regularly and I even was able to expand it to my mother, who lives 5000kms from me.
|
||||
|
||||
But then, my friends saw my setup...
|
||||
|
||||
On June 2022 I had a small "party" with my work friends at my apartment, and all of them were very
|
||||
impressed with my home server setup:
|
||||
|
||||
- "Sonarr" to index shows.
|
||||
- "Radarr" to index movies.
|
||||
- "qBittorrent" to download torrents.
|
||||
- "Emby" to serve the server.
|
||||
|
||||
They kept telling me to create a tutorial, or just teach them how to set one up themselves.
|
||||
|
||||
I tried to explain the full setup to one of them, but explaining how everything connected and worked
|
||||
together was a big pain. That is what led me to create this script and configuration tutorial, so anyone
|
||||
regardless of their tech background and knowledge could start a basic media server.
|
||||
|
||||
So basically, my friends pushed me to build this script and documentation, so they (and now anyone!)
|
||||
could build it on their own home servers.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Ok, sounds cool. What did you do then? {#ok-sounds-cool-dot-what-did-you-do-then}
|
||||
|
||||
[A bash script](https://git.rogs.me/yams.git/tree/install.sh) that asks basic questions to the user and sets up the ultimate media server, with
|
||||
[configuration instructions included](https://yams.media/config/)! (That's the part I really **REALLY** enjoyed!)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## What's included with YAMS? {#what-s-included-with-yams}
|
||||
|
||||
This script installs the following software:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Sonarr](https://sonarr.tv/)
|
||||
- [Radarr](https://radarr.video/)
|
||||
- [Emby](https://emby.media/)
|
||||
- [qBittorrent](https://www.qbittorrent.org/)
|
||||
- [Bazarr](https://www.bazarr.media/)
|
||||
- [Jackett](https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett)
|
||||
- [gluetun](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun)
|
||||
|
||||
This combination allows you to create a fully functional media server that is going to download,
|
||||
categorize, subtitle, and serve your favorite shows and movies.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Features {#features}
|
||||
|
||||
In no particular order:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Automatic shows/movies download**: Just add your shows and movies to the watch list and it should
|
||||
automatically download the files when they are available.
|
||||
- **Automatic classification and organization**: Your media files should be completely organized by default.
|
||||
- **Automatic subtitles download**: Self-explanatory. Your media server should automatically download
|
||||
subtitles in the languages you choose if they are available.
|
||||
- **Support for Web, Android, iOS, Android TV, and whatever that can support Emby**: Since we are
|
||||
using Emby, you should be able to watch your favorite media almost anywhere.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Conclussion {#conclussion}
|
||||
|
||||
You can go to YAMS's website here: <https://yams.media>.
|
||||
|
||||
I'm **very** proud of how YAMS is turning out! If you end up using it on your server, I just want to tell
|
||||
you **THANK YOU** 🙇 from the bottom of my heart. You are ****AWESOME!****
|
||||
|
||||
Feedback is GREATLY appreciated (the VPN was added from the feedback!). I'm here to support YAMS for the
|
||||
long run, so I would like suggestions on how to improve the setup/website/configuration steps.
|
||||
|
||||
You can always submit [issues](https://gitlab.com/rogs/yams/-/issues/new) on Gitlab if you find any problems, or you can [contact](/contact) me directly (email
|
||||
preferred!).
|
||||
|
||||
We also have a YAMS Matrix room! You can join [here](https://matrix.to/#/%23yams:chat.rogs.me). See ya on the chat! 😀
