How to Install Ombi on Windows 11

Ombi is a popular open source media request and self-hosted platform. Here is a simple step-by-step guide on how to install Ombi on your Windows 11 machine using Docker.

Prerequisites

  • Make sure you have Docker installed on your Windows 11 machine.
  • You also need to have a Plex Media Server or Emby Media Server installed.
  • Have a basic understanding of Docker and its commands.

Steps

  1. Open PowerShell in Windows 11.

  2. Run the following command to pull the latest Ombi image:

docker pull linuxserver/ombi
  1. After downloading the image, create a new container using this command:
    docker create \
    --name=ombi \
    -e PUID=1000 \
    -e PGID=1000 \
    -e TZ=America/New_York \
    -e UMASK_SET=022 \
    -e WEBUI_PORT=3579 \
    -p 3579:3579 \
    -v /path/to/appdata/config:/config \
    -v /path/to/downloads:/downloads \
    --restart unless-stopped \
    linuxserver/ombi

Notes:

  • Replace /path/to/appdata/config with the directory path where you want to store your Ombi configuration files.
  • Replace /path/to/downloads with the directory where you want to store your media downloads.
  1. Start the newly created container with this command:
docker start ombi
  1. You can check the status of the container using this command:
docker ps -a
  1. Open the Ombi web interface by typing in your web browser's address bar:
http://{yourserverip}:3579

Notes:

  • Replace {yourserverip} with the IP address of your Windows 11 machine.

  1. You should now see the Ombi login page. Create a new account and log in.

  2. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure Ombi to your liking.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Ombi on your Windows 11 machine using Docker.
