Experimental and conceptual set-up. Not used.

Home Streaming Set Up

Blue Sky is a personal initiative to evaluate the technical viability and complexity of removing relliance on the public cloud and live service/subscription model digital life.

This is intended only as an excercise in Docker, Docker Compose and automation via Ansible and Terraform. I do not endorse or recommend using such a set up. Please, follow all local laws and regulation regarding copyright, cryptography and digital rights management.

Used Apps

• Nordlynx
• Bazarr
• Sonarr
• Radarr
• Jackett
• qBittorrent
• Heimdall
• Jellyfin

Recommended clients

• Jellyfin
• KODI with Jellyfin Plugin
• OSMC on Rpi with Jellyfin Plugin

Repository Structure

download_manager contains a collection of applications to detect new releases and automatically add them to a dowload client. This uses a nordlynx vpn tunnel for indexers, download client and release managers.

landing_page is a plain deployment on Heimdall to provide a simple navigation to access each individual service.

media_server deploys a Jellyfin instance that can be accessed by various clients.

Use make to control the system. See make help for details.

e.g.:

make start
make stop

Note: make clean will remove persistent configuration. Use with care!

Manual Configuration Steps

Application configurations are stored next to each docker-compose.yml. In addition, media and torrent directories are assumed to exist under /data on the host. If you want to use different directories, you will need to adapt the relevant docker-compose.yml file.

Required Directories:

• /data/media
• /data/torrent

VPN Configuration

Manual creation of Nordlynx Private Key is required. This value must be added to download_manager/docker-compose.yml and requires a restart or start.

e.g.:

services:
## Network Gateway
  vpnbridge:
    ...
    environment:
      PRIVATE_KEY: "!THIS NEEDS TO BE CONFIGURED!"

Application Configuration

Jackett

• Indexers

Information from this configuration will be required for Sonarr and Radarr

Radarr and Sonarr

• Indexers
• Download Clients

Bazarr

• Providers
• Languages
• Sonarr
• Radarr

qBittorrent

• Black Hole directory (auto-add)
• Torrent Management directories (complete,incomplete,etc)

Jellyfin

• Libraries
• Hardware acceleration

If you are using an Intel CPU on the host, you may expose some capabilities to accelerate video transcoding. You can do so by uncommenting the relevant lines in media_server/docker-compose.yml

Heimdall

• Apps with specific URLs for each service
