# Docker Compose NAS After searching for the perfect NAS solution, I realized what I wanted could be achieved with some Docker containers on a vanilla Linux box. The result is an opinionated Docker Compose configuration capable of browsing indexers to retrieve media resources and downloading them through a WireGuard VPN with port forwarding. SSL certificates and remote access through Tailscale are supported. Requirements: Any Docker-capable recent Linux box with Docker Engine and Docker Compose V2. I am running it in Ubuntu Server 22.04; I also tested this setup on a [Synology DS220+ with DSM 7.1](#synology-quirks). ![Docker-Compose NAS Homepage](https://github.com/AdrienPoupa/docker-compose-nas/assets/15086425/3492a9f6-3779-49a5-b052-4193844f16f0) ## Table of Contents * [Docker Compose NAS](#docker-compose-nas) * [Table of Contents](#table-of-contents) * [Applications](#applications) * [Quick Start](#quick-start) * [Environment Variables](#environment-variables) * [PIA WireGuard VPN](#pia-wireguard-vpn) * [Sonarr, Radarr & Lidarr](#sonarr-radarr--lidarr) * [File Structure](#file-structure) * [Download Client](#download-client) * [Prowlarr](#prowlarr) * [qBittorrent](#qbittorrent) * [Jellyfin](#jellyfin) * [Homepage](#homepage) * [Jellyseerr](#jellyseerr) * [Traefik and SSL Certificates](#traefik-and-ssl-certificates) * [Accessing from the outside with Tailscale](#accessing-from-the-outside-with-tailscale) * [Optional Services](#optional-services) * [FlareSolverr](#flaresolverr) * [SABnzbd](#sabnzbd) * [AdGuard Home](#adguard-home) * [Encryption](#encryption) * [DHCP](#dhcp) * [Expose DNS Server with Tailscale](#expose-dns-server-with-tailscale) * [Tandoor](#tandoor) * [Customization](#customization) * [Optional: Using the VPN for *arr apps](#optional-using-the-vpn-for-arr-apps) * [Synology Quirks](#synology-quirks) * [Free Ports 80 and 443](#free-ports-80-and-443) * [Install Synology WireGuard](#install-synology-wireguard) * [Free Port 1900](#free-port-1900) * [User Permissions](#user-permissions) * [Synology DHCP Server and Adguard Home Port Conflict](#synology-dhcp-server-and-adguard-home-port-conflict) * [Use Separate Paths for Torrents and Storage](#use-separate-paths-for-torrents-and-storage) * [NFS Share](#nfs-share) * [Static IP](#static-ip) * [Laptop Specific Configuration](#laptop-specific-configuration) ## Applications | **Application** | **Description** | **Image** | **URL** | |--------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------| | [Sonarr](https://sonarr.tv) | PVR for newsgroup and bittorrent users | [linuxserver/sonarr](https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/sonarr) | /sonarr | | [Radarr](https://radarr.video) | Movie collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users | [linuxserver/radarr](https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/radarr) | /radarr | | [Prowlarr](https://github.com/Prowlarr/Prowlarr) | Indexer aggregator for Sonarr and Radarr | [linuxserver/prowlarr:latest](https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/prowlarr) | /prowlarr | | [PIA WireGuard VPN](https://github.com/thrnz/docker-wireguard-pia) | Encapsulate qBittorrent traffic in [PIA](https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/) using [WireGuard](https://www.wireguard.com/) with port forwarding. | [thrnz/docker-wireguard-pia](https://hub.docker.com/r/thrnz/docker-wireguard-pia) | | | [qBittorrent](https://www.qbittorrent.org) | Bittorrent client with a complete web UI

The location of the server it will connect to is set by `LOC=ca`, defaulting to Montreal - Canada. You need to fill the credentials in the `PIA_*` environment variable, otherwise the VPN container will exit and qBittorrent will not start. ## Sonarr, Radarr & Lidarr ### File Structure Sonarr, Radarr, and Lidarr must be configured to support hardlinks, to allow instant moves and prevent using twice the storage (Bittorrent downloads and final file). The trick is to use a single volume shared by the Bittorrent client and the *arrs. Subfolders are used to separate the TV shows from the movies. The configuration is well explained by [this guide](https://trash-guides.info/Hardlinks/How-to-setup-for/Docker/). In summary, the final structure of the shared volume will be as follows: ``` data ├── torrents = shared folder qBittorrent downloads │ ├── movies = movies downloads tagged by Radarr │ └── tv = movies downloads tagged by Sonarr └── media = shared folder for Sonarr and Radarr files ├── movies = Radarr └── tv = Sonarr └── music = Lidarr ``` Go to Settings > Management. In Sonarr, set the Root folder to `/data/media/tv`. In Radarr, set the Root folder to `/data/media/movies`. In Lidarr, set the Root folder to `/data/media/music`. ### Download Client Then qBittorrent can be configured at Settings > Download Clients. Because all the networking for qBittorrent takes place in the VPN container, the hostname for qBittorrent is the hostname of the VPN container, ie `vpn`, and the port is `8080`: ## Prowlarr The indexers are configured through Prowlarr. They synchronize automatically to Radarr and Sonarr. Radarr and Sonarr may then be added via Settings > Apps. The Prowlarr server is `http://prowlarr:9696/prowlarr`, the Radarr server is `http://radarr:7878/radarr` Sonarr `http://sonarr:8989/sonarr`, and Lidarr `http://lidarr:8686/lidarr`. Their API keys can be found in Settings > Security > API Key. ## qBittorrent Since qBittorrent v4.6.2, a temporary password is generated on startup. Get it with `docker compose logs qbittorrent`: ``` The WebUI administrator username is: admin The WebUI administrator password was not set. A temporary password is provided for this session: ``` Use this password to access the UI, then go to Settings > Web UI and set your own password, then set it in `.env`'s `QBITTORRENT_PASSWORD` variable. The login page can be disabled on for the local network in by enabling `Bypass authentication for clients`. ``` 192.168.0.0/16 127.0.0.0/8 172.17.0.0/16 ``` Set the default save path to `/data/torrents` in Settings, and restrict the network interface to WireGuard (`wg0`). ## Jellyfin To enable [hardware transcoding](https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/), depending on your system, you may need to update the following block: ``` devices: - /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128 - /dev/dri/card0:/dev/dri/card0 ``` Generally, running Docker on Linux you will want to use VA-API, but the exact mount paths may differ depending on your hardware. ## Homepage The homepage comes with sensible defaults; some settings can ben controlled via environment variables in `.env`. If you to customize further, you can modify the files in `/homepage/*.yaml` according to the [documentation](https://gethomepage.dev). Due to how the Docker socket is configured for the Docker integration, files must be edited as root. The files in `/homepage/tpl/*.yaml` only serve as a base to set up the homepage configuration on first run. ## Jellyseerr Jellyseer gives you content recommendations, allows others to make requests to you, and allows logging in with Jellyfin credentials. To setup, go to https://hostname/jellyseerr/setup, and set the URLs as follows: - Jellyfin: http://jellyfin:8096/jellyfin - Radarr: - Hostname: radarr - Port: 7878 - URL Base: /radarr - Sonarr - Hostname: sonarr - Port: 8989 - URL Base: /sonarr ## Traefik and SSL Certificates While you can use the private IP to access your NAS, how cool would it be for it to be accessible through a subdomain with a valid SSL certificate? Traefik makes this trivial by using Let's Encrypt and one of its [supported ACME challenge providers](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/https/acme). Let's assume we are using `nas.domain.com` as custom subdomain. The idea is to create an A record pointing to the private IP of the NAS, `192.168.0.10` for example: ``` nas.domain.com. 1 IN A 192.168.0.10 ``` The record will be publicly exposed but not resolve given this is a private IP. Given the NAS is not accessible from the internet, we need to do a dnsChallenge. Here we will be using CloudFlare, but the mechanism will be the same for all DNS providers baring environment variable changes, see the Traefik documentation above and [Lego's documentation](https://go-acme.github.io/lego/dns). Then, fill the CloudFlare `.env` entries. If you want to test your configuration first, use the Let's Encrypt staging server by updating `LETS_ENCRYPT_CA_SERVER`'s value in `.env`: ``` LETS_ENCRYPT_CA_SERVER=https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory ``` If it worked, you will see the staging certificate at https://nas.domain.com. You may remove the `./letsencrypt/acme.json` file and restart the services to issue the real certificate. You are free to use any DNS01 provider. Simply replace `DNS_CHALLENGE_PROVIDER` with your own provider, [see complete list here](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/https/acme/#providers). You will also need to inject the environments variables specific to your provider. Certificate generation can be disabled by setting `DNS_CHALLENGE` to `false`. ### Accessing from the outside with Tailscale If we want to make it reachable from outside the network without opening ports or exposing it to the internet, I found [Tailscale](https://tailscale.com) to be a great solution: create a network, run the client on both the NAS and the device you are connecting from, and they will see each other. In this case, the A record should point to the IP Tailscale assigned to the NAS, eg `100.xxx.xxx.xxx`: ``` nas.domain.com. 1 IN A 100.xxx.xxx.xxx ``` See [here](https://tailscale.com/kb/installation) for installation instructions. However, this means you will always need to be connected to Tailscale to access your NAS, even locally. This can be remedied by overriding the DNS entry for the NAS domain like `192.168.0.10 nas.domain.com` in your local DNS resolver such as Pi-Hole. This way, when connected to the local network, the NAS is accessible directly from the private IP, and from the outside you need to connect to Tailscale first, then the NAS domain will be accessible. ## Optional Services Optional services are not launched by default and enabled by appending their profile name to the `COMPOSE_PROFILES` environment variable (see [Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/compose/profiles)). Say you want to enable FlareSolverr, you should have `COMPOSE_PROFILES=flaresolverr`. Multiple optional services can be enabled separated by commas: `COMPOSE_PROFILES=flaresolverr,adguardhome`. ### FlareSolverr In Prowlarr, add the FlareSolverr indexer with the URL http://flaresolverr:8191/ ### SABnzbd Enable SABnzbd by setting `COMPOSE_PROFILES=sabnzbd`. It will be accessible at `/sabnzbd`. If that is not the case, the `url_base` parameter in `sabnzbd.ini` should be set to `/sabnzbd`. Additionally, `host_whitelist` value should be set to your hostname. ### AdGuard Home Enable AdGuard Home by setting `COMPOSE_PROFILES=adguardhome`. Set the `ADGUARD_HOSTNAME`, I chose a different subdomain to use secure DNS without the folder. On first run, specify the port 3000 and enable listen on all interfaces to make it work with Tailscale. If after running `docker compose up -d`, you're getting `network docker-compose-nas declared as external, but could not be found`, run `docker network create docker-compose-nas` first. #### Encryption In Settings > Encryption Settings, set the certificates path to `/opt/adguardhome/certs/certs/.crt` and the private key to `/opt/adguardhome/certs/private/.key`, those files are created by Traefik cert dumper from the ACME certificates Traefik generates in JSON. #### DHCP If you want to use the AdGuard Home DHCP server, for example because your router does not allow changing its DNS server, you will need to select the `eth0` DHCP interface matching `10.0.0.10`, then specify the Gateway IP to match your router address (`192.168.0.1` for example) and set a range of IP addresses assigned to local devices. In `adguardhome/docker-compose.yml`, set the network interface `dhcp-relay` should listen to. By default, it is set to `enp2s0`, but you may need to change it to your host's network interface, verify it with `ip a`. In the configuration (`adguardhome/conf/AdGuardHome.yaml`), set the DHCP options 6th key to your NAS internal IP address: ```yml dhcp: dhcpv4: options: - 6 ips 192.168.0.10,192.168.0.10 ``` #### Expose DNS Server with Tailscale Based on [Tailscale's documentation](https://tailscale.com/kb/1114/pi-hole), it is easy to use your AdGuard server everywhere. Just make sure that AdGuard Home listens to all interfaces. ### Tandoor See [here](./tandoor/README.md). ## Customization You can override the configuration of a service or add new services by creating a new `docker-compose.override.yml` file, then appending it to the `COMPOSE_FILE` environment variable: `COMPOSE_FILE=docker-compose.yml:docker-compose.override.yml` [See official documentation](https://docs.docker.com/compose/extends). For example, use a [different VPN provider](https://github.com/bubuntux/nordvpn): ```yml version: '3.9' services: vpn: image: ghcr.io/bubuntux/nordvpn cap_add: - NET_ADMIN # Required - NET_RAW # Required environment: # Review https://github.com/bubuntux/nordvpn#environment-variables - USER=user@email.com # Required - "PASS=pas$word" # Required - CONNECT=United_States - TECHNOLOGY=NordLynx - NETWORK=192.168.1.0/24 # So it can be accessed within the local network ``` ### Optional: Using the VPN for *arr apps If you want to use the VPN for Prowlarr and other *arr applications, add the following block to all the desired containers: ```yml network_mode: "service:vpn" depends_on: vpn: condition: service_healthy ``` Change the healthcheck to mark the containers as unhealthy when internet connection is not working by appending a URL to the healthcheck, eg: `test: [ "CMD", "curl", "--fail", "http://127.0.0.1:7878/radarr/ping", "https://google.com" ]` Then in Prowlarr, use `localhost` rather than `vpn` as the hostname, since they are on the same network. ## Synology Quirks Docker compose NAS can run on DSM 7.1, with a few extra steps. ### Free Ports 80 and 443 By default, ports 80 and 443 are used by Nginx but not actually used for anything useful. Free them by creating a new task in the Task Scheduler > Create > Triggered Task > User-defined script. Leave the Event as `Boot-up` and the `root` user, go to Task Settings and paste the following in User-defined script: ``` sed -i -e 's/80/81/' -e 's/443/444/' /usr/syno/share/nginx/server.mustache /usr/syno/share/nginx/DSM.mustache /usr/syno/share/nginx/WWWService.mustache synosystemctl restart nginx ``` ### Install Synology WireGuard Since WireGuard is not part of DSM's kernel, an external package must be installed for the `vpn` container to run. For DSM 7.1, download and install the package corresponding to your NAS CPU architecture [from here](https://github.com/vegardit/synology-wireguard/releases). As specified in the [project's README](https://github.com/vegardit/synology-wireguard#installation), the package must be run as `root` from the command line: `sudo /var/packages/WireGuard/scripts/start` ### Free Port 1900 Jellyfin will fail to run by default since the port 1900 [is not free](https://lookanotherblog.com/resolve-port-1900-conflict-between-plex-and-synology/). You may free it by going to Control Panel > File Services > Advanced > SSTP > Untick `Enable Windows network discovery`. ### User Permissions By default, the user and groups are set to `1000` as it is the default on Ubuntu and many other Linux distributions. However, that is not the case in Synology; the first user should have an ID of `1026` and a group of `100`. You may check yours with `id`. Update the `USER_ID` and `GROUP_ID` in `.env` with your IDs. Not updating them may result in [permission issues](https://github.com/AdrienPoupa/docker-compose-nas/issues/10). ``` USER_ID=1026 GROUP_ID=100 ``` ### Synology DHCP Server and Adguard Home Port Conflict If you are using the Synology DHCP Server package, it will use port 53 even if it does not need it. This is because it uses Dnsmasq to handle DHCP requests, but does not serve DNS queries. The port can be released by editing (as root) `/usr/local/lib/systemd/system/pkg-dhcpserver.service` and [adding -p 0](https://www.reddit.com/r/synology/comments/njwdao/comment/j2d23qr/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3): `ExecStart=/var/packages/DhcpServer/target/dnsmasq-2.x/usr/bin/dnsmasq --user=DhcpServer --group=DhcpServer --cache-size=200 --conf-file=/etc/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf --dhcp-lease-max=2147483648 -p 0` Reboot the NAS and the port 53 will be free for Adguard. ## Use Separate Paths for Torrents and Storage If you want to use separate paths for torrents download and long term storage, to use different disks for example, set your `docker-compose.override.yml` to: ```yml version: "3.9" services: sonarr: volumes: - ./sonarr:/config - ${DATA_ROOT}/media/tv:/data/media/tv - ${DOWNLOAD_ROOT}/tv:/data/torrents/tv radarr: volumes: - ./radarr:/config - ${DATA_ROOT}/media/movies:/data/media/movies - ${DOWNLOAD_ROOT}/movies:/data/torrents/movies ``` Note you will lose the hard link ability, ie your files will be duplicated. In Sonarr and Radarr, go to `Settings` > `Importing` > Untick `Use Hardlinks instead of Copy` ## NFS Share This can be useful to share the media folder to a local player like Kodi or computers in the local network, but may not be necessary if Jellyfin is going to be used to access the media. Install the NFS kernel server: `sudo apt install nfs-kernel-server` Then edit `/etc/exports` to configure your shares: `/mnt/data/media 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,all_squash,nohide,no_subtree_check,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000)` This will share the `media` folder to anybody on your local network (192.168.0.x). I purposely left out the `sync` flag that would slow down file transfer. On [some devices](https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=343434) you may need to use the `insecure` option for the share to be available. Restart the NFS server to apply the changes: `sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart` On other machines, you can see the shared folder by adding the following to your `/etc/fstab`: `192.168.0.10:/mnt/data/media /mnt/nas nfs ro,hard,intr,auto,_netdev 0 0` ## Static IP Set a static IP, assuming `192.168.0.10` and using Google DNS servers: `sudo nano /etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml` ```yaml # This is the network config written by 'subiquity' network: ethernets: enp2s0: dhcp4: no addresses: - 192.168.0.10/24 gateway4: 192.168.0.1 nameservers: addresses: [8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4] version: 2 ``` Apply the plan: `sudo netplan apply`. You can check the server uses the right IP with `ip a`. ## Laptop Specific Configuration If the server is installed on a laptop, you may want to disable the suspension when the lid is closed: `sudo nano /etc/systemd/logind.conf` Replace: - `#HandleLidSwitch=suspend` by `HandleLidSwitch=ignore` - `#LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=yes` by `LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=no` Then restart: `sudo service systemd-logind restart`
