Ombi is a handy tool for managing requests for media content on your home server. This tutorial will guide you through the steps of installing Ombi on POP! OS Latest.
Before we start, make sure you have the following:
Ombi requires Mono to run on Linux. To install Mono, open up the terminal and run the following command:
