This is a guide to setup your own home server.

We will be installing:

• Adguardhome: adblocker for all your devices
• Jellyfin: platform to watch your content
• Qbittorrent: torrent client
• Prowlarr: torrent indexers provider.
• Sonarr: download TV shows
• Radarr: download movies
• Readarr: download (audio)books
• Lidarr: download music
• Nextcloud: home cloud solution
• Calibre: manage (audio)books
• gluetunn: VPN
• homepage: dashboard for all these services

OS installation

We will be using Fedora Server for this homelab. Download the ISO from https://fedoraproject.org/en/server/download.

Next -> fedora-server-setup

Now create the directory structure for the *arr stack.

 1mkdir /srv/
 2mkdir /srv/media
 3mkdir /srv/torrents
 4
 5cd /srv/torrents
 6mkdir audiobooks books incomplete movies music tv
 7
 8cd /srv/media
 9mkdir audiobooks books movies music tv
10
11cd /srv
12mkdir configs
13mkdir containers

Adguard Installation

Adguard Home is a network-wide software for blocking ads and tracking. After you set it, it’ll cover ALL your home devices, without needing any client-side software for that.

It operates as a DNS server that re-routes tracking domains to a “black-hole”, thus prventing your devices from connecting to those servers.

We will be using Docker for that

Next -> adguardhome-setup

Prawlarr Installation
