docker-compose file for setting up common torrent download tools behind VPN (radarr/sonarr/lidarr/jackett/deluge/gluetun/flaresolverr/ombi)

General idea is to have access to all the tools through web interface while they all run on separate docker containers using a VPN. Created for my Synology NAS, extra details will be given for that specific case.

In details:

Separate docker containers for each service, all using gluetun container (VPN) for network access.

• radarr : movie collection manager
• sonarr : tvshow collection manager
• lidarr : music collection manager
• jackett : bitTorrent indexer
• flaresolverr : required for some jackett indexer login
• deluge : bitTorrent client to download content
• gluetun : lightweight vpn client
• ombi : handling requests for downloading new content

Based on wbollock work

Prerequisite

• Own VPN provider account supported by gluetun (currently supported: Private Internet Access, Mullvad, Windscribe, Surfshark Cyberghost, VyprVPN, NordVPN, PureVPN and Privado VPN servers)

If you don't have a VPN yet, an exhaustive comparison chart can be found here

Mullvad will be used as an example.

• ssh terminal access to your server/NAS and root privileges For Synology NAS, install Docker via Package Center. Enable SSH service via Control Panel/Terminal & SNMP

• docker and docker-compose installed

To check:

docker -v and docker-compose --version

Variables needed and how to get them

Open ssh connection to server/NAS.

PUID : use `id -u` command in terminal

PGID : use `id -g` command in terminal

USER : 'whoami'

USERGROUP : 'id -gn'

TZ : your time zone, find it [here](https://docs.diladele.com/docker/timezones.html)

SERVER_IP : use ifconfig to find interface and ip

Example:

`id` -> uid=1026(bob) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),101(administrators)

PUID=1026

PGID=100

USER=bob

USERGROUP=users

TZ=Hongkong

SERVER_IP=192.168.1.210

Folders need to be created for the different services:

Config folders examples:

RADARR_CONFIG_PATH=/etc/radarr/

SONARR_CONFIG_PATH=/etc/sonarr/

LIDARR_CONFIG_PATH=/etc/lidarr/

DELUGE_CONFIG_PATH=/etc/deluge/

JACKETT_CONFIG_PATH=/etc/jackett/

OMBI_CONFIG_PATH=/etc/ombi/

OPENVPN_CONFIG=/etc/openvpnconfig/

Downloads folders examples:

DOWNLOAD_FOLDER=/volume1/Torrents/Downloads_Deluge   <- This is where deluge will download the content, it is temporary and once the download is finished it will be moved to one of the next 2 folders.

FILMS=/volume1/Torrents/Films

TVSHOWS=/volume1/Torrents/Tvshows

Once these folders are created, make sure they have the right ownership.

sudo chown -R USER:USERGROUP RADARR_CONFIG_PATH SONARR_CONFIG_PATH LIDARR_CONFIG_PATH DELUGE_CONFIG_PATH JACKETT_CONFIG_PATH OMBI_CONFIG_PATH OPENVPN_CONFIG

Example: sudo chown -R bob:users /etc/radarr/ /etc/deluge/ /etc/sonarr/ /etc/lidarr /etc/jackett/ /etc/ombi /etc/openvpnconfig/

OpenVPN configuration for gluetun container

The configuration will depend on the VPN provider, please refer to the beautiful gluetun wiki for environement variables

Example Mullvad VPN:

• OPENVPN_USER=100011000100 # this is your Mullvad account number
• OPENVPN_PASSWORD=m # for Mullvad this is always just 'm'
• VPNSP=mullvad
• COUNTRY=Singapore # change the country based on your location/needs
• CITY=Singapore
• ISP=M247

Creating docker-compose file

Use the template and replace with your variables where needed.

Rename the file docker-compose.yml

Run sudo docker-compose config in the folder where the file is.

If there's no mistake (identation errors/use spaces not tabs), it will print the file.

Then run 'sudo docker-compose up -d'

sudo docker ps -a will show the status of the containers.

In case there's a problem, try sudo docker logs CONTAINER_ID to see what's going on.

Is it working?

Checking gluetun vpn container status:

docker run --rm --network=container:gluetun alpine:3.12 wget -qO- https://ipinfo.io source

It's possible to open web browser and go to page:

http://SERVER_IP:8000/v1/openvpn/status

Example:

http://192.168.1.210:8000/v1/openvpn/status

Current settings are acessible using http://SERVER_IP:8000/v1/openvpn/settings

Other options available, see : gluetun http control server

If the gluetun container does not seem to work properly, I suggest trying to debug it alone first using information provided on the github project page.

Checking and configuring services:

Deluge:

Visit http://SERVER_IP:8112/

Change password from default deluge

Under Preferences/Downloads

Set Downloads to : /downloads

Jackett:

Visit http://SERVER_IP:9117/

Set FlareSolverr API URL: http://localhost:8191

Sonarr:

Visit http://SERVER_IP:8989/

Go to Settings/Download client

Add Download client (Torrent) - Deluge

Host: localhost

Port: 8112

Don't forget to add Indexers from Jackett or others.

Radarr:

Visit http://SERVER_IP:7878/

Go to Settings/Download client

Add Deluge (similar to what was done for Sonarr)

Add indexers.

Radarr:

Visit http://SERVER_IP:8686/

Ombi:

Visit http://SERVER_IP:3579/
