Automatically Searching for Movies and Subtitles on the Internet

Use the script Script: Setting up services to build a media server to install the following batch of services on Docker, or use Portainer to create a Stack that includes the services below.

YML configuration of the Stack containing all media services

Adjust the configuration to detect the hard drive

1. Find the mount path of your external hard drive
2. Declare it in the Docker container (edit the path /mnt/sda1/... above) so that your hard drive is recognized

Detailed configuration for each service

Prowlarr – Manage movie search sources

The torrent sources I usually use

Radarr – Manage & search for movies | Sonarr – Manage & search for TV series

Sonarr – Manage TV series
Radarr – Manage movies

Automatically downloads the latest episodes, tracks the latest season or the entire season

Because the configuration and installation of these two services are relatively similar, I will combine the instructions into one to avoid making this too long. Please follow the steps yourself:

1. Configure Downloader = qBittorrent
2. Configure connection to Prowlarr to automatically sync the indexers

qBittorrent – Torrent client

To have more leechers/peers when downloading torrents, you need to configure a dedicated port for torrent traffic.

1. Configure the vueTorrent skin for more convenient use
2. Configure the location for temporary download files. The principle is to download and store temporarily, then copy them to the hard drive configured to store movies. This helps improve HDD lifespan.
3. Configure port forwarding, email notifications after downloads complete, etc.

Bazarr – Manage & search for subtitles

The subtitle sources I am currently using

1. Add Providers (subtitle search sources)
2. Configure connections to Sonarr and Radarr to automatically update the list of movies that need subtitles
