Ombi is a self-hosted web application that allows users to request movies, TV shows, and other content for their media server.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Ombi on Linux Mint.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure you have the following:
To install Docker on Linux Mint, run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker.io
Next, you need to configure Docker permissions to allow the current user to access Docker commands without using sudo.
To do this, add your user to the docker group:
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
Start the Docker service with the following command:
sudo systemctl start docker
To verify that Docker is installed correctly, run the following command:
docker --version
You should see the version number of Docker installed.
Next, you can install Ombi with Docker by running the following command:
sudo docker run -d --name=ombi -p 3579:3579 -v /srv/ombi:/config ombi/ombi
This command will download the latest version of Ombi and install it in a Docker container named "ombi". It will also map port 3579 to the host system and map the /srv/ombi directory to the /config directory in the container.
To access Ombi, open your web browser and go to http://localhost:3579/. You should see the Ombi login page.
Log in using the default username "ombiadmin" and password "ombiadmin" and follow the setup wizard to complete the configuration.
To stop or start Ombi, use the following commands:
sudo docker stop ombi
sudo docker start ombi
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Ombi on Linux Mint using Docker. Once installed, you can use Ombi to request media content for your 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!
