With this combination, you can create a fully functional media server that is going to download, categorize, subtitle and serve your favorite shows, movies, audio and books.

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 clasification 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 leveraging from Emby, you should be able to watch your favorite media almost anywhere.

Dependencies

You need to have:

If you haven't installed them, don't worry! The script will attempt to run both installations (it only works in Debian and Ubuntu!)

Before running

Before installing, make sure you have:

An installation location: The script is going to ask you for a install location, but it will default to /opt/yams. Just make sure your current user has permissions to write on the selected directory.
A media folder: This is the folder where all your files are going to be downloaded and categorized. If you choose /srv/media, the script is going to create the following folders:
- /srv/media/tv: For your TV shows
- /srv/media/movies: For your movies
- /srv/media/music: For your music
- /srv/media/books: For your books
- /srv/media/downloads: For your torrent downloads
- /srv/media/blackhole: For your torrents blackhole
A regular user to run and own the media files: You shouldn't use root for this user, but I'm not your father, nothing is going to stop you lol
A VPN service (optional but STRONGLY recommended): If you can, choose one from this list. The VPN I always recommend is Mullvad because:
- They don’t require your email or information to create a new account.
- It’s simple to configure.
- They only have monthly subscriptions, so you can leave them whenever you want.
- You can pay with crypto.

To run

$ git clone --depth=1 https://gitlab.com/rogs/yams.git /tmp/yams
$ cd /tmp/yams
$ bash install.sh

And follow the instructions.

So far, I've tested this in Debian 11 and Ubuntu 22.04.

Usage

When the script finishes installing without issues, just run:

$ yams
yams - Yet Another Media Server

Usage: yams [--help|restart|stop|start|destroy|check-vpn|update]
options:
--help     displays this help message
restart    restarts yams services
stop       stops all yams services
start      starts yams services
destroy    destroy yams services so you can start from scratch
check-vpn  checks if the VPN is working as expected
update     updates YAMS

How to configure?

Go to https://yams.media/config/ and follow the config instructions

Donations

If you really wish to donate, first I would like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤️ Second, I would prefer you donate to any of the projects used in this script.

They are the ones doing the real work, I just created a docker-compose file and a couple of bash scripts:

linuxserver.io donations page
Sonarr donations page
Radarr donations page
Jellyfin donations page
Emby premier page (Recommended! I personally use this service)
Plex pass page
qBittorrent donations page
Bazarr donations page
gluetun donations page
