Ombi is a self-hosted web application that allows users to request access to media content from a variety of sources. This tutorial will guide you through the steps required to install Ombi on macOS.
Before installing Ombi, you will need to ensure that your Mac meets the following requirements:
Open a Terminal window on your Mac.
Create a new directory to store the Ombi application files.
mkdir /path/to/ombi
Change into the new directory.
cd /path/to/ombi
Download the Ombi installation files.
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linuxserver/docker-ombi/master/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml
Edit the docker-compose.yml file to customize the Ombi configuration.
nano docker-compose.yml
Here, you can edit the PGID, PUID, and TZ values to match your environment. Additionally, you can change the default username and password by modifying the OMBI_USER and OMBI_PASS variables.
Start the Ombi application.
docker-compose up -d
The -d option runs the command in detached mode, allowing you to continue using the terminal window.
Verify that the Ombi application is running.
docker logs -f ombi
If Ombi has started successfully, you should see the message Starting Ombi in the logs.
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3579 to access the Ombi web interface.
You will be prompted to log in using the credentials that you set in the docker-compose.yml file.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Ombi on macOS! You can now use the web interface to manage your media content requests.
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!
