# Mediagram
Headless media server, controlled via Telegram, to download torrent files and stream them on local network.
Made to be hosted on Raspberry Pi 4b.
## 1) Requirements
```bash
sudo apt update -y
sudo apt full-upgrade -y
sudo apt install ntfs-3g exfat-fuse minidlna qbittorrent-nox tmux -y
```
## 2) Media server (MiniDLNA)
```bash
sudo mkdir /media
sudo bash -c "echo 'friendly_name=Mediagram
media_dir=/media
port=8200
root_container=B
notify_interval=60
#network_interface=eth0' > /etc/minidlna.conf"
sudo bash -c "echo 'sudo service minidlna force-reload && echo \"/media: refresh.\"' > /media/refresh.sh"
sudo chmod +x /media/refresh.sh
# [Optional] To add the script as a command:
sudo echo 'alias media-refresh="/media/refresh.sh"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
```
## 3) Storage (USB/SD/SSD/HDD)
Prefer NTFS file system: faster to read/write and supports larger files.

```ini
# Automatically (To append in /etc/fstab):
/dev/sda1 /media/mnt/ auto defaults,auto,relatime,umask=000,user,rw,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=10 0
```
```bash
# [Optional] Manually:
sudo bash -c "echo 'sudo mount -o umask=0 /dev/sda1 /media/mnt && echo \"/media/mnt: mounted.\"' > /media/mount.sh"
sudo bash -c "echo 'sudo umount /media/mnt && echo \"/media/mnt: unmounted.\"' > /media/umount.sh"
sudo chmod +x /media/mount.sh
sudo chmod +x /media/umount.sh
sudo echo 'alias media-mount="/media/mount.sh"
alias media-umount="/media/umount.sh"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
```
## 4) qbittorrent-nox
We need to register qbittorrent-nox as a service.
(Source: https://www.linuxcapable.com/how-to-install-latest-qbittorrent-on-ubuntu-20-04-desktop-and-server/#Import_qBittorrent-nox_Stable)
```bash
sudo adduser --system --group qbittorrent-nox
sudo adduser qbittorrent-nox
sudo bash -c "echo '[Unit]
Description=qBittorrent Command Line Client
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=forking
User=qbittorrent-nox
Group=qbittorrent-nox
UMask=007
ExecStart=/usr/bin/qbittorrent-nox -d --webui-port=8080
Restart=on-failure
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target' > /etc/systemd/system/qbittorrent-nox.service"
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
```
Settings:
```
Default url: http://localhost:8080
Default account: admin/adminadmin
[Download] Delete .torrent files afterwards ✔️
[Download] Default Save Path =
[Download] Keep incomplete torrents in = (Allows streaming of incomplete torrents)
[Web UI] Bypass authentication for clients on localhost ✔️
```
## 5) Telegram bot
Follow:
https://core.telegram.org/bots#6-botfather
## 6) Deploy from PC to Raspberry Pi with SSH
Duplicate deploy_rpi.sh, modify HOST, PORT, SRC, DEST, and then deploy:
```bash
./deploy_rpi_local.sh
```
## 7) Environment variables
Create .env file.
```bash
sudo nano Mediagram/.env
```
Create accounts: opensubtitles.org (V1) and opensubtitles.com (V2).
Then paste the modified following lines:
```ini
TELEGRAM_BOT_ID=
TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID=
DIR_PROD=
DIR_PROD_ALT=
DIR_TEST=
QB_ADDR=
QB_USER=
QB_PASS=
OST_USER=
OST_PASS=
OST_API_KEY= (if V2)
```
## Run
```bash
tmux # https://www.howtogeek.com/671422/how-to-use-tmux-on-linux-and-why-its-better-than-screen/
pip install -U -r requirements.txt
python main.py
