Quickstart

1. Clone the repository and cd into it

git clone https://github.com/skmpf/seedbox

3. Fill in the required values in the .env file:

   • DOCKERCONFDIR: Directory for container configuration files
   • DOCKERSTORAGEDIR: Directory for media storage
   • PUID: Your user's ID (run id -u to find it)
   • TZ: Your timezone (e.g., Europe/Paris)
   • VPN settings for Gluetun (see VPN setup)

4. (Optional) If you do not want to run the optional services, comment out or deletethe corresponding sections in the docker-compose.yml file.

5. Start the stack

docker-compose up -d

6. Access the web interfaces for each service:
   • Calibre Web Automated: http://localhost:8083
   • Navidrome: http://localhost:4533
   • Plex: http://localhost:32400/web
   • Prowlarr: http://localhost:9696

   • Radarr: http://localhost:7878
   • Seerr: http://localhost:5055

Notes

• The gluetun service is configured for WireGuard by default. If you prefer OpenVPN, edit the docker-compose.yml file and update the VPN_TYPE and related environment variables.
• qBittorrent is configured to route through the VPN (gluetun) service.
• Make sure to create the directories specified for DOCKERCONFDIR and DOCKERSTORAGEDIR before starting the services.

• Plex runs in host network mode for better local network discovery.
• All services use the non-root PUID/PGID for better security.
