Usenet Docker
Containers
Docker Setup
- Update
./uidgid.env
with the user and group IDs that will be running Docker
- Update
./docker-compose.yml
and replace HOSTNAME
with the URL that will be pointing at the docker container and replace /data_directory_path
with the directory for config, downloads, movies and TV folders
- Choose which Usenet services containers the use and remove the extras from the
./docker-compose.yml
file
- There are serveral containers that are duplicate services, I just added them for extra choices
- Run
docker-compose up -d
to start all the Usenet services
Hostnames
- I pointed subdomains to my home IP address for each service that I wanted external access to. I plan on setting up DynDNS with DD-WRT soon but for now my IP address has been the same for 2 months
- In my router configuration I forwarded all the necessary ports to my local server running Docker
Note about Plex and setting up Plex server
- Initially when all containers are fully running, Plex is accessible by IP:PORT/web/index.html but the Plex Server configuration is hidden. This is due to the Plex container being behind the Docker Network's IP and not being able to connect to Plex.tv
- I found my solution in this Github issue thread https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-plex/issues/36
- Specifically I had to SSH tunnel to the Plex Docker container
ssh -L 8080:localhost:32400 user@dockerhost.mydomain.net
, then opened a web browser and went to 127.0.0.1:8080/web/index.html
which allowed me to configure my server
