How to deploy with a single docker-compose file?

[injeolmibingsoo]

Hello. I love bobarr for being a one-stop-shop for movies/tv shows and have been trying to set it up on my home server for a while now.

What I would like to do, however, is to have all of the configuration in a single docker-compose file, instead of running the prescribed installation and start-up scripts. This allows me to better organize where certain files go where (e.g. config files in my cache drive). In addition, I also wanted to run bobarr with azinchen's nordvpn docker client, which I found to be the easiest way to have services run through my subscription of nordvpn.

I therefore took the provided bobarr/docker-compose.yml and started to add environmental variables from bobarr/.env and azinchen's nordvpn stuff.

Bear in mind that I'm basically a "script kiddie" when it comes to docker. I am okay with making small modifications to example compose files, but don't really understand how it all comes together behind the hood. I hence apologize in advance if I made any gross mistakes in the following compose file.

This is the current version of said compose file, which I am able to deploy. While I did not run into any error during the deployment, the server is not fully functional. I got as far as being able to add movies on the bobarr interface, but couldn't find the downloads starting on transmission.

I'd appreciate any feedback/tips to get this to work. Thanks!

Hi @mune360! Thank you so much for looking into this!

I've managed to adapt my config to yours. I believe we're close! I think I'm still having trouble accessing transmission from behind the vpn through the reverse proxy. That part of my config is the same as yours, I believe.

Hi. I made some progress on this. I am now able to access transmission through my VPN but am running into other problems. Adding a movie doesn't seem to do anything. When I try to add a torrent file manually by clicking on the movie card and then through Replace > select own .torrent, this is what I see:

In addition to the above, I am of course skeptical that other parts of bobarr is fully functional, so any help to fully set this up is much appreciated. If @mune360 (thanks for the help so far) and @iam4x (thanks for creating this app) could look into this, I'd be very thankful.

I know have two docker compose files -- one for bobarr and another one just for the VPN. I do everything on Portainer, and first deploy vpn.yml before deploying bobarr.yml.
