Full Home‑Media Stack on Umbrel OS – Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, Overseerr Setup 🔥 #UMBRELOS #Plex
Hey everyone, welcome back to the channel!
Today we’re turning your spare hardware into a Media Hub running Umbrel OS with fully automated media management.
Umbrel OS is a lightweight, Docker‑first Linux distro originally built for Bitcoin nodes, but it’s perfect for any self‑hosted app—it gives you a clean UI, one‑click app installs and runs on any computer.
We’ll stack four of the most popular media tools on top of it:
• Sonarr – your TV‑show butler. It watches for new episodes, grabs them from your indexers, renames and files them perfectly.
• Radarr – the movie version of Sonarr. It auto‑downloads new releases, keeps your library tidy and organized.
• Overseerr – a sleek request portal for your family or friends. Users can search, request, and vote on titles; admins approve the downloads that Sonarr/Radarr will pull.
• Plex – the polished media‑streaming server that streams your collection to phones, TVs, browsers and even remote devices, complete with metadata, subtitles and user‑profiles.
In the next few minutes I’ll walk you through installing each container on Umbrel, wiring them together, and getting your first movie streaming on Plex. By the end you’ll have a zero‑maintenance, “just‑press‑play” media server that runs 24/7 on local spare hardware.
Let’s get started!
