Seedbox

A collection of Dockerfiles and a docker-compose configuration to set up a seedbox and personal media server.

Included Applications

The front-end reverse proxy (Traefik - check the next section if you have already the seedbox with Traefik v1) routes based on the lowest level subdomain (e.g. deluge.example.com would route to deluge). Since this is how the router works, it is recommended for you to get a top level domain. If you do not have one, you can edit your domains locally by changing your hosts file or use a browser plugin that changes the host header.

Traefik takes care of valid Let's Encrypt certificates and auto-renewal.

Note: Plex is also available directly through the 32400 port without going through the reverse proxy.

September 2020 - Upgrade to Traefik v2 instructions

Before upgrading Traefik to version 2, please check the following:

• In this repo, Traefik v2 upgrade is as seamless as possible (same environment variables than before, out-of-the-box config file...).
• First, git pull to grab the latest code.
• The HTTP_PASSWORD variable now must be simple-quoted in the .env file. See the updated .env.sample file (which has also been reorganized)
• Run init.sh in order to create required Docker objects (network name has changed).
• You can update your acme.json to a Traefik v2-compliant one by doing the following (before launching Traefik v2):

mkdir -p /tmp/migration
cd /tmp/migration
sudo cp /opt/traefik/acme.json .
sudo chmod 775 /tmp/migration/acme.json
# Do *NOT* forget the --resolver at the end! (le = Let's Encrypt resolver, see traefik/traefik.yml)
docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/data -w /data containous/traefik-migration-tool acme -i acme.json -o acme2.json --resolver le
mkdir -p /data/config/traefik
sudo cp acme2.json /data/config/traefik/acme.json
sudo chmod 600 /data/config/traefik/acme.json
# When you already have a backup!
sudo rm -rf /opt/traefik /tmp/migration

• As from Traefik v2, as Http Authentication is now possible on the Traefik console, the latter is enabled at traefik.yourdomain.com.
• After all this, you can simply do: ./update-all.sh! Voilà!

Dependencies

• Docker >= 20.10
• Docker Compose >= 1.28.0
• local-persist Docker plugin: installed directly on host (not in container). This is a volume plugin that extends the default local driver’s functionality by allowing you specify a mountpoint anywhere on the host, which enables the files to always persist, even if the volume is removed via docker volume rm. Use systemd install for Ubuntu 16.04.

Configuration

Before running, please create the volumes which will be statically mapped to the ones on the host:

sudo su -c "mkdir /data && mkdir /data/config && mkdir /data/torrents"
./init.sh

Edit the .env file and change the variables as desired. The variables are all self-explanatory.

NEW You can also disable a service if you do not need it by editing the services.conf file. Simply change the "enable" key with the "disable" one for the service you want to disable. If you remove a line in this file, it will be considered as "enabled" as all services are enabled by default.

Running & updating

./update-all.sh

docker-compose should manage all the volumes and network setup for you. If it does not, verify that your docker and docker-compose version is updated.

Make sure you install the dependencies and finish configuration before doing this.

PlexPass

Just set the VERSION environment variable to latest on the Plex service (enabled by default). See https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/plex.

Where is my data?

All data is saved in the docker volumes seedbox_config or seedbox_torrents. These volumes are mapped to the config and torrents folders located in /data on the host. You can change these static paths in the docker-compose.yml file. Thanks to the local-persist Docker plugin, the data located in these volumes is persistent, meaning that volumes are not deleted, even when using the docker-compose down command. It would be a shame to loose everything by running a simple docker command ;-)
