Collect_All_Media_arr_Stack_TrueNAS_Community_Edition

In this video, I walk you through a complete setup of the full ARR ecosystem on TrueNAS — using both the TrueNAS App Catalog and Dockge (Docker Compose). The viewer is free to choose one method or the other (personal preference). This guide covers everything you need to build a fully-automated media server, with correct datasets, permissions, and app-to-app integration.
🚀 Apps Installed in This Tutorial
- Prowlarr – indexer manager
- Sonarr – TV automation
- Radarr – movie automation
- Bazarr – subtitle automation
- Profilarr – automated quality profile management
- Unpackerr – handles extraction for download clients
- qBittorrent – download client
- QUI – qBittorrent UI enhancement
- Jellyseerr – request manager
- Jellyfin – open-source media server
- Plex – premium media streaming option
📁 Dataset & Permissions Setup
I also show how to correctly:
- Create datasets for media, configs, and downloads
- Apply user/group permissions (root:apps)
- Avoid the common issues with ownership, PUID/PGID, and POSIX
- Ensure all apps share the same unified directory structure
🧩 Installation Methods Covered (pick one or the other - its just personal preference)
1⃣ TrueNAS App Catalog
- One-click installs
- Built-in networking
- Automatic dataset mounting
- Update management through the UI
2⃣ Dockge (Docker Compose Manager)
- Fully customizable media stack
- Clean YAML configuration
- Easier migrations and VPN routing
- Great for advanced homelab users
By the end, you'll have a complete, functional, automated media stack — no guesswork, no permission issues, and everything running the right way.
