The Ultimate Guide to Setup Your Own Streaming Service with Sonarr, Radarr, Plex... using Usenet/Torrents

This guide provides a step-by-step approach to setting up your own movie and series streaming service using Sonarr, Radarr, Overseer, and Plex. Whether you prefer using Usenet or torrents, this guide has got you covered. Designed for both beginners and power users, the guide will help you stream your favorite movies and series with ease. Say goodbye to the hassle of unreliable streaming services and hello to endless entertainment with the help of this ULTIMATE Guide.

Why would you even want to do that?

Although the rise of other streaming services than Netflix had a very positive impact on the industry -- for the customer it means paying more and more monthly fees to streaming services, which can become very costly.

The setup carefully documented in this article -- while tedious if you don't have access to this ULTIMATE guide :) -- can save you a great amount of money while freeing you from large companies.

How this guide is built? (must read)

This guide is meant to serve all users, from beginners to power users, from a simple configuration to a more complete one with more features and a better ease of use.

This said, at the beginning of each part, a section will explain what it is about and if you can skip it.

Requirements

• A server (VPS or dedicated) and basic knowledge on how to connect. See below which one to choose and how to connect.
• Extremely basic knowledge on how to use a terminal.
• If you plan to use Usenet, a Usenet provider and a Usenet indexer. See below why you would want this.
• A free Plex account.

Which server to choose and how to connect?

You can freely skip this part if you already have a server and you know how to connect to it. Just be careful to make sure to have the recommended specifications defined below.

Which server to choose?

Your server will store movies and series, this uses a lot of storage, therefore you need to rent a server specialized in storage, a server which have a lot of storage available for a fair price. Many popular server providers have those kind of offers. They are often called Storage VPS.

Also you must be careful of the connection speed available (in Mbps or Gbps). In my opinion your server must have at least 500 Mps even if 1 Gbps is always better.

I also recommend having more than 2 GB of RAM available.

Note

I personally rent the STOR-4 offer at PulseHeberg but you absolutely don't need to rent here, many more hosting providers provide Storage VPS offers.

When you get the choice of the operating system, I recommend using the latest version of Ubuntu, it will make following this tutorial easier.

How to connect?

When you rent a server you get provided my two key information, the IP address of your server and the root password.

Note

For security reasons, using the root user is a bad idea, but this goes out of the scope of this tutorial. Do your researches.

Using VSCode (recommended for ease of use)

1. Install VSCode.
2. Install the Remote - SSH extension.
3. Click the bottommost-leftmost button > Connect to Host... > Add New SSH Host...
4. Type ssh root@<server-ip> (replace <server-ip> with your server IP address).
5. Enter the provided password.
6. Press ctrl + shift + ` to open a terminal window.

Using a terminal

1. Type ssh root@<server-ip> (replace <server-ip> with your server IP address).
2. Enter the provided password.

Should you use Usenet and/or Torrents?

You can freely skip this part if you are already sure you'll use Usenet and/or Torrents. Just be careful to make sure to follow the appropriate instructions for each.

Quick comparison

Usenet

Usenet is a worldwide distributed discussion system available on computers according to Wikipedia. Basically, people upload all kind of stuff to usenet, including movies, series, books and musics.

To access Usenet, you need a server and Usenet servers are too expensive to be self-hosted, consequently you usually rent part of them.

Also to actually find content on Usenet you need something like a search engine, which is called an indexer in this context. Some free indexers exists out there but they usually have important limitations, consequently, the usage of a paid one is strongly recommended.

Note

I personally subscribed to Eweka for the Usenet server and NZGgeek for the Usenet indexer but you absolutely don't need to choose them, many more providers exist.

Torrents

BitTorrent (torrents) is a communication protocol for peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P), which enables users to distribute data and electronic files over the Internet in a decentralized manner according to Wikipedia.

To be able to search for torrents you need something like a search engine, which is called an tracker in this context.

3 types of trackers exist, public ones, semi-private ones and private ones.

You generally cannot register to private trackers.

For semi-private trackers you need to register to access them and you need to maintain a ratio. This means that you need to share the files you previously downloaded at least as much as you downloaded them. In practice this means that you should not delete your files once you downloaded them so others are able to download theirs from you.

For public trackers you don't need to maintain a ratio but you still should, because if nobody shares the files they download, nobody would be able to download them. Be fair.

Setup preliminaries

You cannot skip this part.

Connect to your server

See this.

Install Docker

Steps from here.

sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release
sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin

Setup the directory tree

Go to your desired directory (eg. ~/).

Create this folder structure:

library
├── config
│   ├── bazarr
│   ├── lidarr
│   ├── overseerr
│   ├── plex
│   ├── prowlarr
│   ├── flood-rtorrent
│   ├── radarr
│   ├── readarr
│   ├── sabnzbd
│   └── sonarr
└── data
    ├── media
    │   ├── books
    │   ├── movies
    │   ├── musics
    │   └── series
    ├── torrent
    │   ├── library
    │   └── other
    └── usenet
        ├── library
        └── other

You can use those commands to do it automatically for you.

mkdir -p library/config library/data
cd library/config
mkdir overseerr prowlarr bazarr sabnzbd flood-rtorrent sonarr radarr lidarr readarr plex
cd ../data
mkdir -p media/movies media/series media/books media/musics
mkdir -p usenet/library usenet/other
mkdir -p torrent/library torrent/other
cd ..

Setup permissions

sudo useradd library-user
sudo chown -R library-user:library-user .

🎉 You're done with the basics 🎉

As you can see this file is composed of a list of services: overseerr, prowlarr, bazarr...

• If you don't plan on needing subtitles you can remove bazarr.
• If you don't plan on using Usenet you can remove sabnzbd.
• If you don't plan on using torrents you can remove flood and rtorrent.
• If you don't plan on downloading (TV) series you can remove sonarr.
• If you don't plan on downloading movies you can remove radarr.
• If you don't plan on downloading books you can remove readarr.
• If you don't plan on downloading musics you can remove lidarr.

Setup .env

cd <your-library-directory>
sudo touch .env
sudo chmod a+w .env

Edit the file using either code .env or nano .env.

#General
PUID=1001
PGID=1001
TZ=Europe/Helsinki
ROOT_DIR=/home/hunam/library

#Plex

PLEX_CLAIM=claim-e28c7sXCehDxcKVBHEA1

Run id library-user and paste the uid value to the PUID variable and the the gid value to the PGID variable.

Set the TZ variable to your timezone.

Set the ROOT_DIR variable to the output of the pwd command.

Start Docker compose

cd <your-library-directory>
sudo docker compose up -d

🎉 You're done with Docker compose 🎉

Setup subdomains and HTTPS

You can freely skip this part if you don't have a domain name or don't want to setup it. If you have a domain name it's recommended to setup this for ease of use of your home brewed library and being able to access it with a secure HTTPS connection.

Setup the subdomains

Connect to your DNS provider dashboard. It will look similar to this:

You need to add a A record for every subdomain the content of the record will be your server's IP address. It will look similar to this:

Setup Caddy

Install Caddy (steps from here).

sudo apt install -y debian-keyring debian-archive-keyring apt-transport-https
curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/stable/gpg.key' | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/caddy-stable-archive-keyring.gpg
curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/stable/debian.deb.txt' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/caddy-stable.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install caddy

Create the configuration file

cd <your-library-directory>
sudo touch Caddyfile
sudo chmod a+w Caddyfile

Edit the file using either code Caddyfile or nano Caddyfile.

overseerr.example.org {
	reverse_proxy localhost:5055
}
prowlarr.example.org {
	reverse_proxy localhost:9696
}
bazarr.example.org {
	reverse_proxy localhost:6767
}
sabnzbd.example.org {
	reverse_proxy localhost:8080
}
flood.example.org {
	reverse_proxy localhost:8081
}
sonarr.example.org {
	reverse_proxy localhost:8989
}
radarr.example.org {
	reverse_proxy localhost:7878
}
lidarr.example.org {
	reverse_proxy localhost:8686
}
readarr.example.org {
	reverse_proxy localhost:8787
}
plex.example.org {
	reverse_proxy localhost:32400
}

Replace example.org with your domain name.

Run Caddy

cd <your-library-directory>
sudo caddy stop
sudo caddy start

Warning

In the guide you will often find configuration panels similar to this one:

You will always need to set host to <service-name>.<your-domain-name> instead of what asked, port to 443 instead of what asked and check the SSL checkbox.

🎉 You're done with Caddy 🎉

Setup download clients

You cannot skip this part.

Usenet

Allow remote access to SABnzbd.

cd <your-library-directory>
cd config/sabnzbd
sudo chmod a+rw sabnzbd.ini

Edit the file using either code sabnzbd.ini or nano sabnzbd.ini. Modify the variable inet_exposure (line 33) to inet_exposure = 4.

Warning

If you set up the subdomains and HTTPS you should also modify the variable host_whitelist (line 148) by adding your hostname at the end. It will look similar to host_whitelist = 78d983e0ae14,sabnzbd.example.org.

Restart Docker compose using sudo docker compose restart.

Access SABnzbd in a browser (<your-server-ip>:8080).

Note

If you set up the subdomains and HTTPS you should access it using sabnzbd.example.org.

Select the desired language, click Start Wizard.

Configure the fields according to what your Usenet providers gives you. For example with those information:

I would setup SABnzbd like this:

Click Test Server to make sure you entered the fields correctly, click Next, click Go to SABnzbd, click the top-right gear icon, click General.

Set a SABnzbd Username and a SABnzbd Password and click the Save Changes button bellow, click OK in the popup and wait for the restart to complete. You can now login and go to the settings again.

Go to the Folders tab and configure the Completed Download Folder to /data/usenet, save changes.

Go to the Catagories tab and remove all the default categories using the trash bin icons on the right. Configure the default category's Folder/Path to other, save. Add a new category named library with Folder/Path set to library, click Add.

Go to the Switches tab and tick Direct Unpack under Queue, save.

🎉 You're done with SABnzbd 🎉

torrents

Access Flood in a browser (<your-server-ip>:8081).

Note

If you set up the subdomains and HTTPS you should access it using flood.example.org.

TODO: see with Mark what's needed.

Login with user: admin, pwd: adminadmin. Click the settings gear on the top.

Set the Default Save Path under Saving Management to /data/torrent/other.

Go to the Web UI tab and set a Username and a Password under Authentication.

Go all the way down and click Save.

On the left panel, under CATEGORIES, right click All, then Add category... and set the name to library and the save path to /data/torrent/library.

🎉 You're done with Flood 🎉

Setup Prowlarr

You cannot skip this part.

Access Prowlarr in a browser (<your-server-ip>:9696).

Note

If you set up the subdomains and HTTPS you should access it using prowlarr.example.org.

Click Add indexer on the top panel, search for the Usenet or torrent indexers you want to add and click on Save.

Note

In my case I search for NZBgeek and fill this form with my NZBgeek's API key. I also want this indexer to have the most priority so I set the Indexer priority field to 1. Then I want to add a french torrent indexer but with a priority set to 2 etc.

Note

If you don't want to use Usenet and you don't know what torrent indexers to use, set the Privacy filter to Public and add some.

On the left side panel click Settings, then General, set the Authentication field to Form (Login Page), fill the Username and Password fields and click Save on the top panel.

On the left side panel click Settings, then UI, then you may want to change some formats under the Dates category and click Save on the top panel.

On the left side panel click Settings, then Apps, then the + icon.

🎉 You're done with Prowlarr 🎉

Setup Bazarr

You cannot skip this part.

Access Bazarr in a browser (<your-server-ip>:6767).

Note

If you set up the subdomains and HTTPS you should access it using bazarr.example.org.

General

On the left side panel click Settings, then General, set the Authentication field to Form, fill the Username and Password fields and click Save on the top panel.

Languages

On the left side panel click Settings, then Languages, in the Languages Filter field select the language(s) you want to request for subtitles and click Add New Profile.

Write Main in the Name field. Click on Add Language n times while n being the number of languages your want your subtitles in. In the second row of the table make sure each line have a unique language. Click Save.

Enable the two switches under Default Settings, click on Save on the upper panel.

Providers

On the left side panel click Settings, then Providers, then click on +. Most subtitles providers require login-in, therefore you will most likely need to first create an account on the provider website and then fill your Username and Password of that provider the fields you will get after selecting a provider.

I personally recommend to add at least OpenSubtitles.com and then to scroll though the list to see if some providers may provide you with subtitles in your native language.

Click on Save each time and on + again if you want to add another one.

Click on the top panel Save button.

Sonarr & Radarr

On the left side panel click Settings, then Sonarr, then enable it.

Fill the Address field with <your-server-ip>.

Note

If you set up the subdomains and HTTPS you should fill the Address field with sonarr.example.org, the Port field with 443 and enable SSL.

Access the Sonarr app using a browser, on the left side panel click Settings, then General, then copy the API Key under Security. Paste it in the API Key field.

Press Test and then the Save button on the top panel.

On the left side panel click Settings, then Radarr, then enable it and then perform the same last actions but with Radarr.

🎉 You're done with Bazarr 🎉

Setup *arr apps

These steps will show the setup for all Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr and Readarr apps at the same time because they are very similar. You are free to skip either Lidarr and/or Readarr if you don't want to download musics/audios and/or eBooks respectively.

Access *arr in a browser (<your-server-ip>:<the-*arr-app-port>), replace <the-*arr-app-port> by 8989 for Sonarr, by 7878 for Radarr, by 8686 for Lidarr and by 8787 for Readarr.

Note

If you set up the subdomains and HTTPS you should set the field to <the-*arr-app-name>.example.org instead.

Congratulations for following up this guide until the end! Now you are able to request a movie/series/TV show directly from Overseerr and watch it from Plex.

Access Overseerr in a browser (<your-server-ip>:5055).

Note

If you set up the subdomains and HTTPS you should access it using overseerr.example.org.

Search for a movie/series/TV show on the top search bar, select the correct one, click request, if it's a series you select the season(s) you want, click confirm and that's it!

If you click on that movie again you can quickly access it's corresponding Sonarr/Radarr page.

I can recommend you lurking around the app to discover nice features and have fun while your movie is downloading :)

Plex

Access Plex in a browser via plex.tv.

Click on the top-right wrench icon, on the left side panel click on Manage Library Access.

You can easily invite your friends and family to your Plex and Overseer, just ask them to create a Plex account, then you can add them by clicking on GRANT LIBRARY ACCESS and entering their email/username. This way they can request movies too and watch them too, just like you.

I can recommend you lurking around the app to discover nice features :)

Going forward

You can freely skip this step if you want to.

In this part it will not be a step-by-step guide but ideas to improve your nearly set up ULTIMATE Overseerr n' Plex n' chill.

• You check out the amazing mobile (iOS/Android) app LunaSea. It gives you a very nice looking interface to access your SABnzbd, Sonarr, Radarr and Lidarr apps. Of course it has many other nice features.

This guide has been a long time in the planning and writing process. If you enjoyed it consider writing a comment to this article and following me on Github (@Hunam6) and Twitter (@Hunam_). Thank you 🙏
