How to Install Ombi on NetBSD

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing Ombi on NetBSD. Ombi is a web application that allows you to request movies and TV shows from your Plex or Emby server.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before installing Ombi, we need to install a few dependencies that it requires to run. In the terminal, run the following command:

pkgin install mono-complete mediainfo

This will install the Mono runtime and the MediaInfo package.

Step 2: Download Ombi

Next, we need to download the Ombi package.

Extract the Ombi package by typing the following command:

Step 4: Configure Ombi

Create a new configuration file:

sudo nano /opt/Ombi/config.json

Insert the following content into the config.json file:

        "CertificatePath": "",
        "CertificatePassword": "",
        "Branch": "master"
    },
