Jellystack

Jellystack is a fully containerized and automated media server stack using Docker Compose. It brings together powerful tools like Jellyfin, qBittorrent, Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, Bazarr, and Overseerr.

Features

• Jellyfin – Media server for streaming movies and TV shows
• qBittorrent – Torrent client with Web UI
• Sonarr – Automatic TV show downloads and organization
• Radarr – Movie management and automation
• Prowlarr – Indexer manager for Sonarr and Radarr
• Bazarr – Subtitle downloader for your media library
• Overseerr – Request management and discovery
• Network Isolation – Restricted communication between services via dedicated Docker networks

Folder Structure

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/0xsharkboy/jellystack.git
   cd jellystack

2. Edit the .env file: Define your user and group ID, timezone, and media storage path.

   PUID=1000PGID=1000TZ=Europe/ParisMEDIA_FOLDER=./media

3. Start the stack:

   docker-compose up -d

Hardlinks Configuration

To enable hardlinking (zero-copy moves) and save disk space, all media services share a single /data mount point. You must update the internal paths in each application's Web UI:

Application	Setting	New Path
qBittorrent	Default Save Path	/data/downloads
Sonarr	Root Folder	/data/tv
Radarr	Root Folder	/data/movies
Jellyfin	Library Paths	/data/movies and /data/tv
Bazarr	Root Folder	/data/movies and /data/tv

Sonarr Specific Settings for Hardlinks

To ensure Sonarr uses hardlinks instead of copies:

1. Go to Settings > Media Management.
2. Enable Advanced Settings (top toggle).
3. Ensure Importing > Use Hardlinks instead of Copy is checked.
4. Ensure your download client in Sonarr uses a Category (like tv-sonarr) to keep the downloads organized within /data/downloads.

Important

Hardlinking only works if the source and destination are on the same filesystem. By using the unified /data mount, this is handled automatically. However, ensure the user defined by PUID/PGID has write permissions to the entire MEDIA_FOLDER.
