Docker Compose NAS

After searching for the perfect NAS solution, I realized what I wanted could be achieved with some Docker containers on a vanilla Linux box. The result is an opinionated Docker Compose configuration capable of browsing indexers to retrieve media resources and downloading them through a Wireguard VPN with port forwarding.

Applications

The following applications are available:

• Sonarr: PVR for newsgroup and bittorrent users
• Radarr: Movie collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users
• Prowlarr: Indexer aggregator for Sonarr and Radarr
• qBittorrent: Bittorrent client with a complete web UI
• PIA Wireguard VPN: Encapsulate qBittorrent traffic in PIA with Wireguard with port forwarding.
• Heimdall: Application dashboard
• Traefik: Reverse proxy
• Watchtower: Automated Docker images update

Installation

See installation instructions.

TLDR: cp .env.example .env, edit to your needs then sudo docker compose up -d, then for the first time ./update-config.sh.

Configuration

See configuration.

Improvement

There is always room for improvement. I did not need those containers, so I did not include them, but maybe you could benefit from:

• Bazarr: companion application to Sonarr and Radarr that manages and downloads subtitles
• Lidarr: music collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users
• FlareSolverr: Proxy server to bypass Cloudflare protection, useful for some indexers in Prowlarr
• Jackett: API Support for your favorite torrent trackers, as a Prowlarr replacement
• Plex: Plex Media Server
• Pi-hole: DNS that blocks ads
• Use a domain name and Let's Encrypt certificate to get SSL
• Expose services with CloudFlare Tunnel
