The refresh icon will wipe everything you have done and restart you back to the beginning. Restart Button is currently not working, still in development
Database setup is not currently required but will be a future update to allow for custom database connection.
This is where you will setup your first Wizarr Admin account, your welcome to use the username admin, please ensure you use a real email address and also a strong password, something with special characters, numbers and uppercase and lowercase letters.
Here we need to configure the media server, this can either be Jellyfin or Plex, what you would use for Server URL will depend on your setup.
If your media server is hosted at a public facing domain, for example http://plex.wizarr.dev or https://plex.wizarr.dev then you may use this address to point to your media server.
DO NOT LEAVE A TRAILING SLASH ON YOUR URL
Example: https://plex.wizarr.dev/
If your media server is hosted inside Docker on the same machine that Wizarr is running on then you can take advantage of Dockers internal DNS routing.
Docker will use your media servers container name as a host address, if you look in the below screenshot you will see that I ran a docker ps command and in the last column of the result you can see the container names. For my plex container it's named plex.
So we can use this address to point to our media server, you will see in the below screenshot I have set the Server URL to http://plex:32400.
http://- We want to use an unencrypted connection to Plex, this is secure because we are on a sub network inside of Docker.plex- This is our docker container name for the chosen media server, this could be any name that you chose when creating your docker container.:32400- The port that Plex is running at, Jellyfin would use8096for the port number, so if your Jellyfin container name wasjellyfinyou could use the Server URLhttp://jellyfin:8096
DO NOT LEAVE A TRAILING SLASH ON YOUR URL
Example: http://plex:32400/
*THERE IS CURRENTLY AN UNRESOLVED BUG IN WIZARR V3 BETA THAT DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO USE IP ADDRESSES. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED SOON.
CURRENT WORKAROUND If you need to use an IP Address then please use the below workaround, you will need to add the below setting to your Wizarr V3's Docker Compose file.
extra_hosts:
- "mediaserver:your-ip-address"
KEEP mediaserver the same, but replace your-ip-address with the IP address of your Media Server you are attempting to point to.
Now save the file and restart Wizarr V3 with the updated changes, you can now set Server URL to http://mediaserver:32400, remember 32400 is the port for Plex, if you are using Jellyfin then you would use the port number 8096
DO NOT USE THE ABOVE EXTRA_HOSTS method if your Plex or Jellyfin server is running in Docker on the same machine as Wizarr, instead please refer to using the Media Server Hosted in Docker on same machine method.
DO NOT LEAVE A TRAILING SLASH ON YOUR URL
Example: http://mediaserver:32400/
If your Media Server is successfully detected then you will see a button show called Configure Libraries, click this to select which Libraries by default Wizarr will allow invited users to be apart of.
For example, if you create an Invite to your Jellyfin server but you do not wish under any circumstance invited users to have access to your Home Movies Library then you would select all Libraries EXCEPT the Home Movies Library.
After saving your Libraries (if you chose to configure it now, can be configured later on if you wish), you can click Save to be brought to the last step.
Just click Go to Login and you will be ready to Login to Wizarr.
