# Installation ## Requirements Any Docker-capable recent Linux box. I am using a fresh Ubuntu Server 20.04 on a repurposed laptop so this guide reflects it, but it would probably work with other distributions and different versions with a few tweaks. ## Pre-Docker Steps ### OpenSSH If not done during installation, install OpenSSH server for remote connection: `sudo apt install openssh-server` ### Static IP Set a static IP: `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 ``` Here, `192.168.0.10` is going to be the static IP, and we will use Google's DNS servers. 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` ## Docker Setup Install Docker by following [these instructions](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/). Then, [install Compose V2](https://docs.docker.com/compose/cli-command/#install-on-linux). For a global installation (both your current user and `root` when using `sudo`), copy `/usr/libexec/docker/cli-plugins` rather than `$HOME/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose`. You may then run the applications with `sudo docker compose up -d` Then, to update the Sonarr/Radarr/Prowlarr base path, please run `./update-config.sh`. This is only needed for the first time, and will update their `config.xml` file to set the correct path. ## NFS Share It is now time to share the folders to other local devices using NFS, as it is easy to set up and fast. Install the NFS kernel server: `sudo apt-get 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` ## References - [NFS setup](https://askubuntu.com/a/7124) - [Hardlinks and Instant Moves (Atomic-Moves)](https://trash-guides.info/Hardlinks/Hardlinks-and-Instant-Moves/)
