#+title: YAMS: Yet Another Media Server
@@html:@@
This is a highly opinionated media server.
Website: [[https://yams.media][https://yams.media]]
* Description
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: 280135a0-2cff-4e93-8679-7d1a6d56b7b2
:END:
This script installs the following software:
- [[https://sonarr.tv/][Sonarr]]
- [[https://radarr.video/][Radarr]]
- [[https://emby.media/][Emby]]
- [[https://www.qbittorrent.org/][qBittorrent]]
- [[https://www.bazarr.media/][Bazarr]]
- [[https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett][Jackett]]
- [[https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun][gluetun]]
With this combination, you can create a fully functional media server that is going to download,
categorize, subtitle and serve your favorite shows and movies.
* Features
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: 0e072c32-3158-4961-869c-49920090f3d5
:END:
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:
- [[https://www.docker.com/][docker]]
- [[https://docs.docker.com/compose/][docker-compose]]
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

:END:
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/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 [[https://yams.media/advanced/vpn#official-supported-vpns][this list]]. The VPN I
always recommend is [[https://mullvad.net/en/][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.

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:
- [[https://www.linuxserver.io/donate][linuxserver.io donations page]]
- [[https://sonarr.tv/donate][Sonarr donations page]]
- [[https://radarr.video/donate][Radarr donations page]]
- [[https://emby.media/premiere.html][Emby premier page]] (Recommended! I personally use this service)
