Ubuntu 22.04 +
Windows 10 +

You must have Node.JS & NPM installed.
To install dockarr run the following command:
npm install -g dockarr

You can now see the command options with dockarr --help

To create your first stack/deployment you will run the dockarr create [options] <name> command and supply your settings when asked.

If you want to quick start you can copy the command below:
Linux: dockarr create -c /opt/htpc -d /mnt/Media -w /opt/htpc/tmp -s 1,2,3,6,8,9,11,13,14 my-first-dockarr
Windows: dockarr create -c ./htpc -d ./Media -w ./htpc/tmp -s 1,2,3,6,8,9,11,13,14 my-first-dockarr

Now you can move to configuring the individual services via the links above in Service Links section below.

In order to update the stack (pull new docker images and restart services), you can run dockarr update <name>. This will stop all services, update this repo, pull down new docker images if available and restart the services to bring them back up.

Note: This will cause downtime for your HTPC, no services will be running during this process.

To stop the stack you can run dockarr stop <name>. This will simply just stop all the services, you can then simply run dockarr start <name> again to start the stack back up.

To delete the stack you just need to run dockarr remove <name>. This will stop and remove all services.

Note: This does not remove media or configuration files for the HTPC.

Setting up a HTPC can be hard for most let alone doing it with best practices and security in mind. Unsatisfied with the installation tools out there currently, we have created and tested this cli tool in order to help ease some of those headaches and add in some nice-to-have features to make life a little easier. This started simply with wanting an easily deployable and producible script for Plex and companion apps and that is still the goal.

In order to easily deploy and maintain the services described below, we use Docker as it allows us to spin up and down, update, link, and isolate services. This also helps us manage the resources consumed by the various services in a granular way if desired. Each service is in a docker-compose file that describes environment, volumes, networks, ports, etc. to allow easy modification and customization.

This cli tool provides commands that can be used to easily install dependencies, download services, install/uninstall services, and update services. It is highly recommended to use the cli an not modify the running services or the underlying files manually.

All services are provided on a docker bridge network with host port mapping for each service. This way you can configure each service by navigating to http://<HTPC IP>:<service port> in your browser. Provided is nginx-proxy-manager in order to allow external access in the system. This would be done by port forwarding port 80 to your HTPC and configuring the NGINX proxy to point to the backend services via their hostnames.

When configuring a service to connect to another service there are a few ways to do this.

1. (Recommended) Using the services hostname
   1. The docker bridge network that all services are connected to, also modifies each services hosts file to provide nice hostnames for each service. For instance, if you need prowlarr to connect to sonarr, you would put in prowlarr for sonarr's ip just sonarr and docker will resolve that to the proper IP for sonarr.
2. Using the container IP
   1. Using docker inspect -f '{{range.NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' <container_name_or_id> will return the ip address of any running docker container in the stack. Then you simply put this in when asked for an ip to the service.
3. Using the host IP
   1. Because each service has a host port mapping, you can use the host machine ip address to access each service. This is highly discouraged as it creates network loops that are not required. (Imagine going out your front door, into the garage, and then into the kitchen every time you want a snack)

There are 3 main parent directories created by this repository. You can configure them in the start.sh script.

• Config Dir: This is where all configuration, SSL certs, and various persistent settings are stored. (We suggest this be on your main drive, SSD)
• Data Dir: This is the Media parent directory. Here is where you Movies, TV Shows, Music, Photos, etc. are stored. (We suggest this be a mounted share from a NAS or SAN)
• Work Dir: This is the working directory for all media. Files that are in the process of downloading or other various temp files are stored here. (We suggest this also be on your main drive, SSD)

Services are left to set up however you choose via their UI as listed in Service Links section. However, there are some helper commands for you ex. (dockarr get-api-keys)
