+summary: A brief summary on what YAMS is and its features
+---
+
+YAMS is a is a **highly opinionated** media server.
+
+With YAMS you'll be able to automate your media gathering, organization and consumption.
+
+## First, why?
+
+I wanted a setup that my non technical girlfiend could use without any problems, so I started designing my media server using multiple open source projects, and running them on top of docker.
+
+Fast forward two years and I would like to say it works very well 😎 And most importantly, I acomplished my goal: My girlfiend uses it very regularly and I've even expanded it to my Mother, who lives 5000kms from me.
+
+My friends wanted to have a media server like mine, but it was always hard to explain everything that was involved in building and connecting all the pieces together.
+
+So basically, my friends pushed me to build this script and documentation, so they (and now anyone!) could build it on their own homeservers.
+
+## 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 as soon as 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.
+
+
+## What's installed with YAMS?
+
+- [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)
+
+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.
+
+## Why did you choose <this_software> instead of <that_software>?
+
+Because. That's why it's _**opinionated**_, you don't _necessarily_ have to agree with me. This setup is aimed at noobs and first time media server enthusiasts. You can always use my sources and create a better project 🔥
