Ombi is a self-hosted web application used to request, manage, and share media. It allows you to access multiple servers such as Plex, Emby, and Sonarr from a single interface.
In this tutorial, we will walk you through the installation process of Ombi on Debian latest.
Before continuing with this tutorial, ensure that the following requirements are met:
To install Ombi, follow these steps:
It is recommended to update and upgrade your operating system before installing any packages.
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
Mono is an open-source implementation of Microsoft's .NET Framework. It is required to run Ombi.
sudo apt install mono-complete -y
To add the Ombi repository, you need to download the GPG key and add it to your system.
sudo curl -L https://deb.ombi.io/pubkey.txt | sudo apt-key add -
Once the GPG key is imported, add the Ombi repository.
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://deb.ombi.io main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ombi.list
After adding the Ombi repository, install the package using the command below.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y ombi
After installation, you can access Ombi on the default port 5000 using the IP address of your Debian server, e.g., http://SERVER_IP_ADDRESS:5000.
Once you access Ombi, you need to configure it by following the on-screen prompts. You will be asked to set up your username, password, media server, and other details.
Once done, Ombi will prompt you to log in to start requesting media.
You have successfully installed Ombi on Debian latest. You can now use it to manage and request media from multiple servers.
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!
