How to Install Ombi on EndeavourOS Latest

Ombi is a self-hosted web application that helps you request, manage, and track TV shows and movies from multiple sources. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Ombi on EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

• A running instance of EndeavourOS Latest.
• Root or sudo access to the server.
• A web browser and internet connection to access Ombi.

Step 1 - Install Docker

Ombi is packaged as a Docker container, so you need to have Docker installed on your system. Use the following command to install Docker:

sudo pacman -S docker

Once Docker is installed, start the Docker service and enable it to start on system boot:

sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker

Step 2 - Create Ombi Docker Container

Create a new directory to store the Ombi files and navigate to it:

sudo mkdir -p /opt/ombi
cd /opt/ombi

Next, create a new Docker Compose file for Ombi:

sudo nano docker-compose.yml

Paste the following YAML code in the file:

version: '3.7'

services:  
  ombi:
    image: linuxserver/ombi
    container_name: ombi
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=America/New_York
      - UMASK_SET=022
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /mnt/data/Downloads:/downloads
      - /mnt/data/Media:/media
    ports:
      - 3579:3579
    restart: unless-stopped

Save and close the file.

The above Docker Compose file tells Docker to use the Ombi Docker image from the Docker Hub, set up the container's environment variables, map the necessary volumes, expose the port 3579 to the host, and restart the container automatically if it crashes.

Finally, start the Docker container for Ombi:

sudo docker-compose up -d

This command will download the Ombi Docker image and start the container.

Step 3 - Access Ombi Web Interface

Once the Docker container for Ombi is up and running, open your web browser and go to http://<your_server_ip>:3579. You will see the Ombi login page.

Enter the default login credentials:

• Username: admin
• Password: admin

You will be asked to change the password on the first login.

Once you have changed the password, you will be redirected to the Ombi home page.

From here, you can set up your preferred media sources and begin managing your TV show and movie requests.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Ombi on EndeavourOS Latest using Docker. With Ombi, you can manage your TV shows and movie requests from a single, self-hosted web application.
