Ombi is a media request service that enables users to request and manage media content, such as movies and TV shows, for a Plex or Emby server. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Ombi on Fedora CoreOS using Docker.
Before starting this tutorial, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Open the terminal and connect to your Fedora CoreOS server using an SSH client.
Create a directory to store your configuration files:
sudo mkdir /opt/ombi
Create a file named docker-compose.yml in the /opt/ombi directory:
sudo nano /opt/ombi/docker-compose.yml
Paste the following code into the file:
version: '3.3'
services:
ombi:
image: linuxserver/ombi
container_name: ombi
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=America/New_York # Change this to your timezone
volumes:
- /opt/ombi:/config
- /downloads:/downloads
ports:
- '3579:3579' # Change this port if necessary
restart: unless-stopped
Save the file by pressing Ctrl+O, then press Ctrl+X to exit the editor.
Run the following command to start the Ombi container:
sudo docker-compose -f /opt/ombi/docker-compose.yml up -d
Wait for a few minutes for the container to start. You can check the container logs using the following command:
sudo docker logs -f ombi
When the container is ready, open a web browser and go to http://<your-server-ip>:3579. You should see the Ombi login page.
Click on the Sign in with Plex button to sign in with your Plex account. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Ombi on Fedora CoreOS using Docker. You can now start using Ombi to manage your media requests. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, you can check the Ombi documentation for troubleshooting tips.
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!
