The Docker compose codes below are a build-your-own-stack collection of already configured codes ready to be assembled to a stack or (with slight modifications) used independently.

A supplementary guide for how to configure these applications are available below:

I you want to use any of these codes without the VPN, just remove this and it will work:

depends_on:
  GluetunVPN:
     condition: service_healthy

GluetunVPN

The backbone of the stack. All the traffic from the other applications will tunnel through this one. The settings you want to edit are the ones in "" (OpenVPN or Wireguard).
If you want to add other applications through the VPN, add their ports to the ports and FIREWALL_INPUT_PORTS variables. Then change the “network mode” in the new containers to container:GluetunVPN .

  # Gluetun
  GluetunVPN:

    network_mode: bridge

Starr Containers

These compose codes are easy enough to set up. Just change the /path/to/data to where you store your media and, if you want to use it, the /path/to/backup to somewhere where you can easily back them up. If you don’t want custom backup paths, just comment the line out. They are useful for centralized backup solutions, such as:

*arr containers -> backup directory -> rclone -> cloud directory / remote drive

Custom Themes in *arr Dashboards!
If you want to use custom themes in the *arr apps, paste this Docker Mods code in the Environment variables section:
- DOCKER_MODS=ghcr.io/themepark-dev/theme.park:<name-of-*arr-app>
- TP_THEME=hotpink
- TP_COMMUNITY_THEME=false

Prowlarr

Torrent monitor using RSS feeds. Only change path/to/appdata to your appdata folder. I kept the ports just in case, but when using GluetunVPN they are not necessary.

 prowlarr:
    image: ghcr.io/hotio/prowlarr:latest
    container_name: prowlarr
    network_mode: container:GluetunVPN
    depends_on:
      GluetunVPN:
         condition: service_healthy
    environment:
      - PUID=99
      - PGID=100
      - UMASK=000
      - TZ=Europe/Stockholm
    volumes:
      - /path/to/appdata/prowlarr:/config
      - /path/to/backup/docker/prowlarr:/config/Backups
#    ports:
#      - 9696:9696
    restart: unless-stopped

Huntarr

A nifty little search helper for Sonarr, Radarr and Readarr. Huntarr will randomly (or sequentially) order a search for x number of missing episodes or movies at set intervals. Just remember to go into the webui and configure it’s connections to the *arr apps.

  huntarr:
    container_name: Huntarr
    network_mode: container:GluetunVPN
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Stockholm
    volumes:
      - /path/to/appdata/Huntarr:/config:rw
    image: huntarr/huntarr:latest

Sonarr

The TV series monitor and download manager that needs no introduction.

  # Sonarr
  sonarr:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/sonarr:latest
    #    image: ghcr.io/hotio/sonarr:latest
    container_name: sonarr
    network_mode: container:GluetunVPN
    depends_on:
      GluetunVPN:
        condition: service_healthy
    environment:
      - PUID=99
      - PGID=100
      - UMASK=022
      - TZ=Europe/Stockholm
    volumes:
      - ./sonarr_config:/config
      - /path/to/data/:/data #optional
      - /path/to/backup/sonarr:/config/Backups
    #    ports:
    #      - 8989:8989
    restart: unless-stopped

Radarr

Like Sonarr but for movies. Same things to change as Sonarr.

  radarr:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/radarr:latest
    #    image: ghcr.io/hotio/radarr:latest
    container_name: radarr
    network_mode: container:GluetunVPN
    depends_on:
      GluetunVPN:
        condition: service_healthy
    environment:
      - PUID=99
      - PGID=100
      - UMASK=022
      - TZ=Europe/Stockholm
    volumes:
      - ./radarr_config:/config
      - /path/to/data:/data #optional
      - /path/to/backup/radarr:/config/Backups
    #    ports:
    #      - 7878:7878
    restart: unless-stopped

Lidarr

Searches for music to download and manages local music files.

  # Lidarr
  lidarr:
    image: ghcr.io/hotio/lidarr:pr-plugins
    # image: lscr.io/linuxserver/lidarr:latest
    container_name: lidarr
    network_mode: container:GluetunVPN
    depends_on:
      GluetunVPN:
        condition: service_healthy
    environment:
      - PUID=99
      - PGID=100
      - UMASK=022
      - TZ=Europe/Stockholm
    volumes:
      - ./lidarr_config:/config
      - /path/to/backup/lidarr:/config/Backups
      - /path/to/data:/data
    # ports:
    #    - 8686:8686
    restart: unless-stopped

Readarr / Bookshelf

Manages and searches for books and audiobooks to download.

Since Readarr is as good as dead, I've moved over to Bookshelf. It's a drop in replacement that works just like Readarr.

  # Bookshelf
  bookshelf:
    image: ghcr.io/pennydreadful/bookshelf:hardcover
    container_name: bookshelf
    network_mode: container:GluetunVPN
    depends_on:
      GluetunVPN:
        condition: service_healthy
    environment:
      - PUID=99
      - PGID=100
      - UMASK=022
      - TZ=Europe/Stockholm
    volumes:
      - ./bookshelf_config:/config
      - /path/to/backup/dir/bookshelf:/config/Backups
      - /path/to/data:/data
    #  ports:
    #    - 8787:8787

Bazarr

Monitors your media library and downloads subtitles for your movies and tv shows. It really hates being behind a VPN, that’s why I chose bridged for its networking.

  # Bazarr
  bazarr:
    image: ghcr.io/hotio/bazarr:latest
    #    image: ghcr.io/hotio/bazarr:latest
    container_name: bazarr
    network_mode: container:GluetunVPN
    depends_on:
      GluetunVPN:
        condition: service_healthy
    environment:
      - PUID=99
      - PGID=100
      - UMASK=022
      - TZ=Europe/Stockholm
    volumes:
      - ./bazarr_config:/config
      - /path/to/data/data:/data
      - /path/to/backup/bazarr:/config/Backups
    #    ports:
    #      - "6767:6767"
    restart: unless-stopped

Kapowarr

Comics and Manga downloader

I've not had any success with this....but if you've tried to find manga, you know what a unstandardized dumpster fire finding stuff is).

  kapowarr:
    container_name: kapowarr
    image: mrcas/kapowarr:latest
    network_mode: container:GluetunVPN
    depends_on:
      GluetunVPN:
        condition: service_healthy
    volumes:
      - /path/to/appdata/kapowarr/db:/app/db
      - /path/to/downloads/dir/books:/app/temp_downloads
      - /path/to/data/media:/comics

Downloaders

QBittorrent

One of the many great downloaders. Just change the volumes to your liking.

 qbittorrent:
    image: ghcr.io/hotio/qbittorrent:latest
    container_name: qbittorrent
    network_mode: container:GluetunVPN
    depends_on:
      GluetunVPN:

    restart: unless-stopped

Deluge

The classic Linux torrent downloader that’s reliable and easy to use.

  deluge:

#      - 51413:51413
#      - 51413:51413/udp
    restart: unless-stopped

Extras

Cleanuparr

A lifesaver when you’ve got Huntarr all set up and working. Cleanuparr blocks malicious files and acts as the janitor on your download queue. Stalled or way to slow downloads cluttering up your downloader? Cleanuparr get rid of them and adds them to the *arr apps blocklist. It also cleans finished downloads that have seeded for a give time or reached a certain ratio!

  # Cleanuperr
  cleanuparr:
    container_name: cleanuparr
    image: ghcr.io/cleanuparr/cleanuparr:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    network_mode: container:GluetunVPN
    #    ports:
    #      - 11011:11011
    volumes:
      - ./cleanuparr_config:/config
      # if you want persistent logs
      - ./cleanuparr_config/logs:/var/logs
      # if you want to ignore certain downloads from being processed
      - ./cleanuparr_config/ignored.txt:/ignored.txt
      # if you're using cross-seed and the hardlinks functionality
      - /path/to/torrents:/downloads
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Stockholm

Doplarr

If you’ve reached this far, I’m going to give you a little bonus. Every heard of Doplarr? Its a awesome little Discord bot that connects with Sonarr and Radarr and allow you to request media through a Discord server. Here’s the code:

doplarr:
  environment:
    - SONARR__URL=http://localhost:8989
    - RADARR__URL=http://localhost:7878
    - SONARR__API=sonarr_api
    - RADARR__API=radarr_api
    - DISCORD__TOKEN=bot_token
  container_name: doplarr
  image: "ghcr.io/kiranshila/doplarr:latest"

Recyclarr

If you’ve ever found yourself among THRaSHs Guides and thought “This seems nice but HOW am I going to import this into my starr apps?”, then your in luck. After some config configurating, your starr apps will be kept up to date with THRaSHs settings without you ever having to think about it again. Set and forget.

  recyclarr:
    container_name: recyclarr
    networks:
      - main-net
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Stockholm
      - CRON_SCHEDULE=@daily
      - RECYCLARR_CREATE_CONFIG=false
      - volumes:
      - /path/to/appdata/recyclarr:/config:rw
    user: 99:100
