Automated media download and management setup for Synology NAS (and other systems).

Features

• ✅ Automated TV show and movie downloads
• ✅ Automatic media transcoding via SMA
• ✅ Subtitle automation
• ✅ Plex media server integration
• ✅ Easy configuration via Docker Compose
• ✅ Optimized for Synology NAS

Prerequisites

• Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system
• Access to Usenet providers (for SABnzbd)
• Storage volumes for media (TV shows, movies) and downloads

Installation

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/onero/docker-automated-media.git
cd docker-automated-media

2. Configure Volumes

Edit docker-compose.yml and update the volume mappings for your setup:

# Example: Replace these paths with your actual directories
- /volume1/Series:/tv          # Your TV shows folder
- /volume1/Movies:/movies       # Your movies folder
- /volume1/Downloads/complete:/downloads    # Download destination

Default paths (Synology):

• TV Shows: /volume1/Series
• Movies: /volume1/Movies
• Downloads: /volume1/Downloads/complete
• Incomplete Downloads: /volume1/Downloads/incomplete

3. Configure User Permissions

Update the user and group IDs in docker-compose.yml:

x-common-variables: &common-variables
  PUID: 0  # Change to your user ID
  PGID: 0  # Change to your group ID
  TZ: Europe/Prague  # Change to your timezone

Tip: Run id in terminal to find your user and group IDs.

4. Set Up SMA Configuration

Copy the sample configuration file:

cp config/autoProcess.ini.sample config/autoProcess.ini

Edit config/autoProcess.ini and configure your preferred settings. Key sections to review:

• [Converter] - FFmpeg settings and output format
• [Video] - Video codec preferences
• [Audio] - Audio codec and language settings

5. Configure Plex Claim Token

Get your Plex claim token from plex.tv/claim and update it in docker-compose.yml:

PLEX_CLAIM: claim-<your-claim-token>
HOSTNAME: 'AdaminoFlix'  # Change to your preferred name

6. Review Port Mappings

Default ports (ensure they don't conflict with existing services):

• SABnzbd: 8080
• Sonarr: 8989
• Radarr: 7878
• Bazarr: 6767
• Plex: 32400

Troubleshooting

Permission Issues

• Ensure PUID and PGID match the user who owns the media directories
• Check folder permissions: chmod -R 755 /volume1/Series /volume1/Movies

SMA Not Working

• Verify autoProcess.ini has correct API keys
• Check that the config volume is properly mounted
• Review container logs: docker-compose logs sonarr or docker-compose logs radarr

Port Conflicts

• Change port mappings in docker-compose.yml if needed
• Format: host-port:container-port
