Host services

A repo containing services running on docker swarm.

Deploying

First we need to prepare the environment. An example of the required variables is given, so just replace them with the correct values.

Docker swarm won't create anonymous volumes automatically. So create all mount points.

If you want to deploy remotely, you can aet an environment variable. This way it does not matter to what node you connect.

export DOCKER_HOST=ssh://<HOSTNAME>

To start, run:

export $(cat .dev_env) > /dev/null 2>&1; docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.yaml host_services

To update, run:

git checkout main
git pull -r
docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml pull
export $(cat .env) > /dev/null 2>&1; docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.yaml host_services --prune

RR Stack

The arr stack contains the following containers:

• qbittorrent: the client
• prowlarr: indexer
• sonarr: series manager
• radarr: movie manager

The bulk of the storage is handled over the network. The containers are bound to a host, due to a lack of shared storage capable of locking an sqlite database.

Setup

Each The images need to set up in a specific order, that is:

1. qbittorrent
2. prowlarr
3. sonarr and radarr

qbittorrent
