Nacho Server (Self-Hostable)

Steps to run on a fresh VPS / Bare metal server

aa

1. Update all

   sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt full-upgrade -y

2. Install Docker

   sudo apt install ca-certificates curl
   sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
   sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
   sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
   
    # Add the repository to Apt sources:
    sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.sources <<EOF
    Types: deb
    URIs: https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu
    Suites: $(. /etc/os-release && echo "${UBUNTU_CODENAME:-$VERSION_CODENAME}")
    Components: stable
    Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
    EOF
   
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

3. Install Caddy

   sudo apt install -y debian-keyring debian-archive-keyring apt-transport-https curl
   curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/stable/gpg.key' | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/caddy-stable-archive-keyring.gpg
   curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/stable/debian.deb.txt' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/caddy-stable.list
   chmod o+r /usr/share/keyrings/caddy-stable-archive-keyring.gpg
   chmod o+r /etc/apt/sources.list.d/caddy-stable.list
   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install caddy

   Because it is installed via apt, Caddy will run as a system service and is enabled on boot by default.

4. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/nacho-time/nacho-time-server.git
    cd nacho-time-server

5. Create a .env file

   cp .env.example .env

   Edit the .env file to set your desired configuration, including DOMAIN_NAME, TMDB_API_KEY, and PROWLARR_API_KEY.

   Make sure DOMAIN_NAME points to your server's domain or IP address.

   Example:

   DOMAIN_NAME=http://yourdomain.com
   TMDB_API_KEY=your_tmdb_api_key
   PROWLARR_API_KEY=your_prowlarr_api_key
   POSTGRES_USER=nacho
   POSTGRES_PASSWORD=nacho_password
   POSTGRES_DB=nacho_db
   DATABASE_URL=postgresql://nacho:nacho_password@postgres:5432/nacho_db?schema=public
   

6. Edit the Caddyfile

   nano Caddyfile

   Replace the contents with:

   yourdomain.com {
       reverse_proxy localhost:8123
   }
   

   Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain or server IP. Don't forget to validate the Caddyfile syntax:

   sudo caddy validate --config Caddyfile

7. Move Caddyfile to /etc/caddy/Caddyfile (or manually append if you are using other sites)

   sudo cp Caddyfile /etc/caddy/Caddyfile

8. Restart Caddy to apply changes

   sudo systemctl restart caddy

9. Start Nacho Server with Docker Compose

   sudo docker compose up

10. Connect to your prowlarr instance via http://prowlarr.yourdomain.com/ (or your server IP) and set up your indexers as needed. You will also need to head into Settings -> General and retrieve your prowlarr API key to add to your Nacho Server .env file under PROWLARR_API_KEY. This unfortunately cannot be automated due to prowlarr security restrictions.

11. Restart Nacho Server to apply the new API key

sudo docker compose up

12. Verify everything is working by accessing Nacho Server at http://nacho.yourdomain.com/ (or your server IP). You can then run the following to enable the docker containers to start on boot:

 SERVICE_NAME="nacho-server"
 WORKDIR="$(pwd)"

 sudo bash -c "cat > /etc/systemd/system/${SERVICE_NAME}.service" <<EOF
 [Unit]
 Description=Docker Compose Service: ${SERVICE_NAME}

 After=docker.service

 EOF

 sudo systemctl daemon-reload
 sudo systemctl enable ${SERVICE_NAME}
 sudo systemctl start ${SERVICE_NAME}
