# 🎬 Automated Media Server Stack
A complete, production-ready media server setup that automatically downloads and organizes your movies and TV shows using AllDebrid, with a beautiful streaming interface powered by Jellyfin.
## 🚀 What This Does
This repository sets up a fully automated media server that:
1. **Automatically finds** movies and TV shows you want to watch
2. **Downloads them** using your AllDebrid account (no torrenting on your connection)
3. **Organizes them** into a clean library structure
4. **Streams them** to any device through a Netflix-like interface
5. **Tracks what you watch** with analytics and recommendations
## 📦 What's Included
| Service | Purpose | Port | Auto-Login |
|---------|---------|------|------------|
| **Jellyfin** | Stream your media with a Netflix-like interface | 8096 | ❌ |
| **RDTClient** | Downloads from AllDebrid to your server | 6500 | ✅ |
| **Radarr** | Automatically manages movies | 7878 | ✅ |
| **Sonarr** | Automatically manages TV shows | 8989 | ✅ |
| **Prowlarr** | Finds torrents across multiple sites | 9696 | ✅ |
| **Jellyseerr** | Request movies/shows with a nice UI | 5055 | ❌ |
| **Jellystat** | Track watching statistics | 3000 | ❌ |
## 🔄 How It Works
```mermaid
graph LR
A[You request a movie] --> B[Radarr/Sonarr searches]
B --> C[Prowlarr finds torrent]
C --> D[RDTClient sends to AllDebrid]
D --> E[AllDebrid downloads]
E --> F[RDTClient fetches file]
F --> G[Organized in media folder]
G --> H[Jellyfin streams to you]
```
1. **Request**: You add a movie/show to your watchlist
2. **Search**: Radarr/Sonarr automatically searches for it
3. **Download**: RDTClient uses AllDebrid to download (not using your IP)
4. **Organize**: Files are renamed and organized properly
5. **Stream**: Watch on any device through Jellyfin
## ✅ Prerequisites
- **Docker Desktop** installed (works on Windows, Mac, Linux)
- **AllDebrid account** with active subscription
- **Storage space**: At least 100GB free (more is better)
- **RAM**: 4GB minimum, 8GB recommended
- **Internet**: Stable connection for streaming
## 🚀 Quick Start (10 minutes)
### 1️⃣ Clone & Navigate
```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/media-server.git
cd media-server
```
### 2️⃣ Configure Environment
Copy the example environment file:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
Edit `.env` and add your AllDebrid API key:
```env
# REQUIRED: Your AllDebrid API key
ALLDEBRID_API_KEY=your_actual_api_key_here
# Optional: Change default admin credentials
ADMIN_USERNAME=admin
ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin123
```
### 3️⃣ Create Folder Structure
```bash
# Run this command to create all required folders
mkdir -p data/{downloads,media/{movies,tv}} \
config jellyseerr \
jellystat/{postgres,backup-data} \
rdtclient/config \
prowlarr radarr sonarr
```
### 4️⃣ Start Everything
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
### 5️⃣ Access Your Services
Wait 2-3 minutes for services to initialize, then:
- **Jellyfin**: http://localhost:8096 (create admin account)
- **RDTClient**: http://localhost:6500 (login: admin/admin123)
- **Radarr**: http://localhost:7878 (no login needed)
- **Sonarr**: http://localhost:8989 (no login needed)

```
## ⚙️ Initial Configuration
### Step 1: Configure RDTClient with AllDebrid
1. Open http://localhost:6500
2. Login with `admin` / `admin123`
3. Go to Settings → Providers
4. Select **AllDebrid** and enter your API key
5. Set download path to `/data/downloads`
6. Save settings
### Step 2: Set Up Jellyfin
1. Open http://localhost:8096
2. Create admin account
3. Add media libraries:
- Movies: `/data/media/movies`
- TV Shows: `/data/media/tv`
4. Complete setup wizard
### Step 3: Connect Everything
1. **Prowlarr** (http://localhost:9696):
- Add indexers (1337x, RARBG, etc.)
- Add Radarr/Sonarr as apps
2. **Radarr** (http://localhost:7878):
- Settings → Download Clients → Add RDTClient
- Host: `rdtclient`, Port: `6500`
3. **Sonarr** (http://localhost:8989):
- Same as Radarr setup
## 🎯 Features
### ✨ Automated Everything

- **Auto-organize**: Renames files properly (Movie.Name.2024.1080p.mkv)
- **Auto-upgrade**: Replaces files when better quality is found
- **Auto-subtitle**: Downloads subtitles automatically
### 🔒 Privacy & Security
- **No direct torrenting**: AllDebrid handles all torrent traffic
- **Local authentication**: No login needed for local network
- **Isolated services**: Each service runs in its own container
- **Your data stays local**: Nothing leaves your server

## 🔧 Common Tasks
### Adding a Movie/Show
1. **Via Jellyseerr**: Search and request (user-friendly)
2. **Via Radarr/Sonarr**: Add directly (more control)
3. **Via Prowlarr**: Manual search and send to clients
### Backup Your Setup
```bash
# Backup all configurations (not media files)
tar -czf backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz \
.env compose.yml \
config/ jellyseerr/ jellystat/ \
prowlarr/ radarr/ rdtclient/ sonarr/
```
### Update All Services
```bash
docker-compose pull
docker-compose up -d
```
### View Logs
```bash
# All services
docker-compose logs -f
# Specific service
docker-compose logs -f radarr
```
## ❓ Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---------|----------|
| **Port already in use** | Change port in `compose.yml` or stop conflicting service |
| **Can't access web UI** | Check firewall, ensure Docker is running |
| **RDTClient not downloading** | Verify AllDebrid API key and account status |
| **Media not showing in Jellyfin** | Scan library manually, check file permissions |
| **Out of space** | Clean `/data/downloads/`, increase Docker disk space |
| **Slow streaming** | Check internet speed, reduce quality in Jellyfin |
## 🔐 Security Best Practices
1. **Change default passwords** in `.env` file
2. **Use HTTPS** with reverse proxy (Traefik/Caddy) for external access
3. **Firewall rules**: Only expose Jellyfin (8096) to the internet
4. **Regular updates**: Run `docker-compose pull` weekly
5. **Backup regularly**: Automate with cron job
## 💰 Cost Breakdown
- **AllDebrid**: ~€3/month (required)
- **Server/VPS**: €0 (your computer) or €5-20/month (cloud)
- **Domain**: €10/year (optional, for remote access)
- **Total**: ~€3-25/month for unlimited media
