This i
s a quick guide to setup the ultimate home server. To include file sharing & synchronising, email and website hosting, media sharing and streaming, and automatic downloads of TV, movies and music.
Firstly install the latest Ubuntu 16 distro (Download from here: https://www.ubuntu.com/download/server )
Installing Docker
sudo apt-get install \
apt-transport-https \
ca-certificates \
curl \
software-properties-common
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add –
sudo app-get-repository “deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable”
sudo apt-get update
apt-cache policy docker-ce
sudo apt-get install docker-ce
sudo systemctl status docker
Create shares & environment for media server elements
sudo mkdir /shares/
sudo mkdir /shares/tv
sudo mkdir /shares/movies
sudo mkdir /shares/transcode
sudo mkdir /shares/downloads
sudo mkdir /shares/downloads/music
sudo mkdir /shares/downloads/tv
sudo mkdir /shares/downloads/movies
sudo mkdir /shares/downloads/incomplete
sudo mkdir /shares/downloads/complete
sudo mkdir /shares/music
Samba file sharing setup
sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
Edit the file to include:
[shares]
comment = shares
path = /shares/
browsable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = no
create mask = 0777
press ctrl + x type y
lets now just ensure guest access to the shares on your network will be available:
sudo chmod -R 777 /shares/
Setting Up Portainer
Lets start deploying some containers. Portainer will allow you to easily manage your Docker host so lets start there:
Portainer
sudo docker create –name portainer \
–restart=always \
–net=bridge \
-e PGID=1001 -e PUID=1001 \
-v /home/docker/portainer/config:/config \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-p 9000:9000 \
portainer/portainer
Setting Up Deluge
Deluge will be our download client:
Deluge
sudo docker create –name deluge \
–restart=always \
–net=bridge \
-e PGID=1001 -e PUID=1001 \
-v /home/docker/deluge/config:/config \
-v /shares/tv:/shares/tv \
