Arrmada

Your whole media server in one app — movies, TV, books and requests, without the *arr stack.

Install · Features · Docs · Issues

Arrmada finds, downloads and organises your movies, TV, books and audiobooks, lets your household request what they want to watch, and keeps your Plex or Jellyfin library tidy — with one database and one web page instead of half a dozen apps. qBittorrent comes with it, already set up.

Early days: Arrmada is under active development (v0.x). Expect rough edges, and keep backups.

• 🎬 Movies and TV — search, download, import, rename and upgrade, the way Radarr and Sonarr do. Anime numbering included. Moving over? Import your Radarr and Sonarr libraries, files and all.
• 📚 Books and audiobooks — ebooks and audiobooks with series tracking, plus a built-in audiobook server for listening apps like Lissen.
• 🙋 Requests — family and friends browse and request titles, Overseerr-style, and get told when they're ready. Sign in with Plex or Jellyfin.
• 💬 Subtitles — pulls them out of the file, downloads them, or writes them with local AI.
• 🗜️ Convert — shrinks wasteful video overnight to HEVC or AV1, checking every result against the original.
• 📺 Plex and Jellyfin — connect either or both: Watch buttons, library updates after every change, and Insights — who's watching what, history and stats, Tautulli-style.
• 📰 Usenet, optional — SABnzbd alongside qBittorrent (--with-sabnzbd sets one up for you); bring your own Usenet provider and indexers.
• 🛟 Safety nets — hardlinked imports, a recycle bin, nightly backups and one-step rollbacks.

See everything it does →

You need a Linux server with Docker and Docker Compose (on Unraid: the Docker Compose Manager plugin). On the server, run:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tristenlammi/Arrmada/main/install.sh | sh

It asks where to keep Arrmada's files and where your media lives (press Enter to accept the suggestions), then starts everything. Open the address it prints — http://<your-server>:7878 — create your admin account, and a short setup walks you through the rest in the browser: your free TMDB key, your library folders, your media server (Plex, Jellyfin or both) and indexers.

Install guide, options and Unraid notes →

In an empty folder on the server:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tristenlammi/Arrmada/main/docker-compose.example.yml -o docker-compose.yml

Edit the lines marked ← (your media folder, the user and group, your timezone, the port), then run docker compose up -d, open http://<your-server>:7878 and follow the setup. To update: docker compose pull && docker compose up -d. That skips the installer's pre-update backup and automatic roll-back; the app still copies its database before any upgrade of it. More →

Using Portainer? The same file works as a stack: Using Portainer →

Already running qBittorrent or SABnzbd on Unraid? Arrmada's template runs just the app, managed and updated from Unraid's Docker tab like your other containers, with your media share at /storage. Arrmada on Unraid →

Run the same line again:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tristenlammi/Arrmada/main/install.sh | sh

It backs up the database, updates, and checks Arrmada comes back — if the new version doesn't start, it goes back to the one you had. (In Arrmada's folder, sh update.sh does the same.)

Installs follow the stable channel: updates bring the latest published release, never unreleased code. Developers can follow main instead, the newest code compiled on the server (Following main). More about updating →

• A 64-bit Linux server — Unraid, Debian, Ubuntu and the like — on Intel/AMD (x86-64) or 64-bit ARM (arm64: a Raspberry Pi 4/5 with a 64-bit OS, ARM NAS boxes). On ARM, Convert and AI subtitles run on the CPU (what differs).
• Docker with Compose v2.
• A free TMDB API key (entered in the app).
• Optional: Intel or AMD graphics for faster Convert and AI subtitles (x86-64 only), and a Plex or Jellyfin server.
