Ombi is a web application that allows users to request movies, TV shows, and other content to be added to their Plex or Emby media server. In this tutorial, we will be installing Ombi on Alpine Linux Latest using Docker.
Create a docker-compose.yml file in a new directory:
version: '3.7'
services:
ombi:
image: linuxserver/ombi:latest
container_name: ombi
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Europe/London
volumes:
- /path/to/config:/config
- /path/to/media:/media
ports:
- 5000:3579
Here, we are using the linuxserver/ombi Docker image to create a container with the name "ombi". We are also mapping the required ports and volumes for the application to function properly.
In the same directory as the docker-compose.yml file, start the Docker container using the following command:
docker-compose up -d
This will start the container in detached mode, allowing it to run in the background without blocking your terminal.
Open your favorite web browser and navigate to http://<host_ip>:5000. Here, replace <host_ip> with the IP address of the machine running the Docker container. You should see the Ombi login page.
Once you have logged in to the Ombi web interface, you will need to configure it to your liking. This includes settings such as media server details, user permissions, and more.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Ombi on Alpine Linux Latest using Docker. You can now start using Ombi to request media content to be added to your Plex or Emby media server.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
