Build your own Netflix at home

1️⃣ Shared Docker network

Create the single network so all containers can talk to each other:

docker network create media_net

All your containers (qbittorrent, radarr, sonarr, jackett, flaresolverr, prowlarr, jellyfin, jellyseer) must be on this network:

networks:
  media_net:
    external: true

🔹 2️⃣ qBittorrent

Role → main torrent client used by Radarr/Sonarr.

Web access → http://192.168.200.57:8080

Docker service name → qbittorrent

Configuration:

  1. Credentials:

    • Username: media
    • Password: supersecure123

  2. In Web UI settings:

    • Check Bypass authentication for clients on localhost

      → so Docker containers can connect to it.

  3. Downloads:

    • Folder: /downloads (already mounted at /srv/media/downloads)

🔹 3️⃣ Radarr and Sonarr

Radarr (movies) → http://192.168.200.57:7878

Sonarr (TV shows) → http://192.168.200.57:8989

Shared configuration:

  1. Copy the API key into each service (Settings → General → API Key).

  2. Add qBittorrent as the torrent client:

    Host: qbittorrent
Port: 8080
Username: media
Password: supersecure123

    → “Connection succeeded”.

  3. Folders:

    • Radarr → /movies
    • Sonarr → /tv

  4. (Optional) Enable basic HTTP authentication if you expose the services.

🔹 4️⃣ FlareSolverr

Role → bypasses Cloudflare and captchas.

Internal URL → http://flaresolverr:8191

No specific configuration needed.

Just check it’s on the media_net network.

🔹 5️⃣ Prowlarr (up to proxy configuration)

Access → http://192.168.200.57:9696

Internal Docker URL → http://prowlarr:9696

Configuration:

  1. Copy the API key (Settings → General).

  2. Go to Settings → Indexers → Indexer Proxies → + Add Proxy

    → choose FlareSolverr

    Host: http://flaresolverr:8191

    → “Connection succeeded” then Save.

  3. Go to Settings → Apps → + Add Application

    • Radarr

      URL: http://radarr:7878
API Key: <radarr key>
Server URL: http://prowlarr:9696
Sync Level: Full Sync

    • Sonarr

Proxy Port: 8191

      → Save.

  2. Add the YGGtorrent tracker:

    • Configure your account or cookies.
    • Test → ✅ OK.

  3. Copy the Jackett API key (top of the homepage).

  4. In Jackett → verify YGG actually returns search results.

🔹 7️⃣ Back to Prowlarr (Jackett integration)
