How to install Ombi on Linux Mint

Ombi is a self-hosted web application that allows users to request movies, TV shows, and other content for their media server.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Ombi on Linux Mint.

Requirements

Before we proceed with the installation, make sure you have the following:

• A Linux Mint system with root access
• Docker installed on the system

Steps

1. Install Docker

To install Docker on Linux Mint, run the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker.io

2. Configure Docker permissions

Next, you need to configure Docker permissions to allow the current user to access Docker commands without using sudo.

To do this, add your user to the docker group:

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

3. Start the Docker service

Start the Docker service with the following command:

sudo systemctl start docker

4. Verify Docker installation

To verify that Docker is installed correctly, run the following command:

docker --version

You should see the version number of Docker installed.

5. Install Ombi

Next, you can install Ombi with Docker by running the following command:

sudo docker run -d --name=ombi -p 3579:3579 -v /srv/ombi:/config ombi/ombi

This command will download the latest version of Ombi and install it in a Docker container named "ombi". It will also map port 3579 to the host system and map the /srv/ombi directory to the /config directory in the container.

6. Accessing Ombi

To access Ombi, open your web browser and go to http://localhost:3579/. You should see the Ombi login page.

Log in using the default username "ombiadmin" and password "ombiadmin" and follow the setup wizard to complete the configuration.

7. Stop and start Ombi

To stop or start Ombi, use the following commands:

sudo docker stop ombi
sudo docker start ombi
