Welcome to the Pirate Cove.
This is a complete container setup with the following software.
Sonarr is a PVR for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new episodes of your favorite shows and will grab, sort and rename them. It can also be configured to automatically upgrade the quality of files already downloaded when a better quality format becomes available.

Radarr is an independent fork of Sonarr reworked for automatically downloading movies via Usenet and BitTorrent.

Jackett works as a proxy server: it translates queries from apps (Sonarr, Radarr, SickRage, CouchPotato, Mylar, Lidarr, DuckieTV, qBittorrent, Nefarious etc) into tracker-site-specific http queries, parses the html response, then sends results back to the requesting software. This allows for getting recent uploads (like RSS) and performing searches.

Traefik is a modern HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer that makes deploying microservices easy.
Website: https://traefik.io/
Github: https://github.com/containous/traefik
Container: traefik
First a few rerequisites.
- A public domain name. Buy one at https://www.namecheap.com/
- Docker :: https://docs.docker.com/get-started/
- Docker Compose :: https://github.com/docker/compose/releases
- Ports 80/tcp and 443/tcp open for web access and Traefik to get certificates.
- Ports 51413/tcp and 6881/udp open for Rtorrent.
Second, because all the services are setup with docker-compose they can all reach each other by their Docker Compose service name. So fx. when connecting Sonarr with Jacket, then Jackett would be available on http://jackett/api...., which makes everything a lot easier.
- Edit the
.envfile - Run the
create-directories-from-env-file.shscript - Run
docker-compose up -d - Profit
All configuration to this setup, I've put in the .env file, so all you have to do is go through it and edit it to fit your needs.
First off, Traefik provides basic authentication for the web services, all except Plex which has its own user management. To create the user:password string, run below command and replace the BASIC_AUTH variable with the result.
docker run -it --rm httpd bash -c "htpasswd -nB username-here"
If you dont want to create all the folder paths manually, I have included a small shell script called create-directories-from-env-file.sh that does that for you and changes the ownership to the PUID and PGID variable. It also creates the acme.json file that Traefik stores its certificates in.
It looks something like this.
If you haven't figured it out yet, this setup comes with a reverse proxy, Traefik. That is why all web services have a *_DOMAIN_NAME variable. You need to create the A records for the domain names that you provide in the .env file, like.
- sonarr.example.org
- radarr.example.org
- jackett.example.org
- rtorrent.example.org
- plex.example.org
- plexmon.example.org
- traefik.example.org
Traefik will get certificates for the provided domain names.
At the bottom of the .env file you will find the the STAGING_ENVIRONMENT variable. As long as you are testing the setup, keep this variable, it will trigger the staging environment at Lets Encrypt. If you keep tesing on production you will hit the rate limit and get temprary banned. When you are ready for production, just uncomment the line. acme.json is the file where Traefik keeps all its certificates. Should you choose to create the acme.jsonfile your self, remember to chmod it 600.
If your running into issues with Traefik, change the LOG_LEVEL to debug to get more detailed logs.
Got to https://jackett.example.org and login.
Now add an indexer for each of your torrent sites you wish to use. Its pretty straight forward so I will not be covering that part.
In Sonarr you will need to setup an Indexer and a Download Client.
Go to Settings -> Indexers to add en new Index. Choose the Torznab button.
There are two ways to do this. You can either add your Indexers one by one for each of your trackers. Or you add all of your trackers in the same indexer.
First example, adding TorrentLeech as an indexer. Press the Copy Torznab Feed in Jackett and paste it into the URL input. Keep in mind that copied URL will be the external URL, you therefore need to edit from https://jackett.example.org/... to http://jacket:9117/...
The Jackett API key you will find on the Jackett site.
To add all trackers to the same indexer, just add http://jackett:9117/torznab/all/api as the URL.
You will have to adjust the categories acordingly to your needs.
Next add the Download Client. Go to Settings -> Download Client and select rTorrent. Fill out the form as below.
Same setup with Radarr.
Single tracker indexer.
All trackers indexer.
And the Download Client
There isn't much to setup with rTorrent. Maybe go in and remove/disable some plugins from the WebUI. It comes loaded with about almost all plugins avaiable for ruTorrent.
The rTorrent container takes a while to start up, so be patient.
Nothing to setup.. Just login with your Plex account. Remember that the claim token is only valid for 4 min and you only need it the first time it start up. So get your claim token at https://www.plex.tv/claim/
In the docker-compose.yml file, under the Plex section, you will find below outcommented lines. If you have a supported graphics card you could uncomment those lines and get hardware acceleration. I haven't testet or tried it though.
devices:
- /dev/dri/card0:/dev/dri/card0
- /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128
Not much here either. The service will not be up before your Plex server is running. After that you will get a wizard where you will have to give til host address for Plex. Again, just use the Docker Compose service name as in the picture below.
The dashboard will be available on https://traefik.example.org
All Traefik configuration is handled in the docker-compose.yml file.
