Mediagg Arr Stack

A home media server on your Mac or Linux computer, set up for you, and handed to Mediagg with one code.

Mediagg Arr Stack turns a Mac or a Linux computer — a Raspberry Pi, a mini PC, a NAS — into a home media server. One command installs it, three questions in your browser set it up, and one code hands the whole thing to Mediagg on your phone and TV.

It installs a handful of programs — the ones you choose — sets each one up and connects them to each other, the part that usually means a dozen web pages and keys copied from one to another:

Service	What it does
`Jellyfin`, `Emby` or `Plex`	Plays your films and series, on every screen
`Navidrome`	Plays your music
`Audiobookshelf`	Plays your audiobooks and podcasts
`Sonarr`	Finds and fetches series
`Radarr`	Finds and fetches films
`Lidarr`	Finds and fetches music
`Prowlarr`	Keeps the list of sites Sonarr and Radarr search
`FlareSolverr`	Gets Prowlarr past sites that check for a browser
`qBittorrent`	Downloads
`Seerr`	Lets your family ask for films and series
`Bazarr`	Fetches subtitles

Only what you choose is installed: at least one place to watch or listen, and whatever finds and fetches more if you want it. Everyone in the house can have a login of their own. Each runs in its own container in Docker, so none of it is mixed into your system, and all of it can be removed again in one go.

What you need

A Mac, Apple silicon or Intel, on a macOS release Docker Desktop supports — the current one and the two before it. The installer adds Docker Desktop if it is not there.
Or a 64-bit Linux computer — Debian, Ubuntu, Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit), Fedora and the like, on Intel/AMD or ARM. A Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 with 4 GB or more is enough. The installer adds Docker if it is not there.
Space. About 1.4 GB to download and 4 GB on disk for every service, plus your films and series. An external drive is fine.
Your phone or TV on the same network as the computer.

Everything in the stack is free and open source, and so is Docker on Linux. Docker Desktop, on a Mac, is free for personal use, education and small businesses.

Windows is on the way. For now the stack installs on macOS and Linux. Mediagg itself connects to a stack from Android and iOS.
