PLEASE NOTE

For simplicity's sake (eg. automatic dependency management), the method used to install these packages is Ubuntu's default package manager, APT. There are several other methods that work just as well, if not better (especially if you don't have superuser access on your system), so use whichever method you prefer. Continue when you've successfully installed all packages listed.

Installation

(You'll need superuser access to run these commands successfully)

Start by updating and upgrading our current packages:

$ sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

Install the prerequisite packages:

$ sudo apt install curl git bridge-utils

Note - Mediabox uses Docker CE as the default Docker version - if you skip this and run with older/other Docker versions you may have issues.

1. Uninstall old versions - It’s OK if apt and/or snap report that none of these packages are installed.
   $ sudo apt remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc
$ sudo snap remove docker

2. Install Docker CE:
   $ curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
$ sudo sh get-docker.sh

3. Install Docker-Compose:

   sudo curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest | grep "browser_download_url" | grep -i -m1 `uname -s`-`uname -m` | cut -d '"' -f4 | xargs sudo curl -L -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
   

4. Set the permissions: $ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

5. Verify the Docker Compose installation: $ docker-compose -v

Add the current user to the docker group:

$ sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Adjustments for the the DelugeVPN container

$ sudo /sbin/modprobe iptable_mangle

$ sudo bash -c "echo iptable_mangle >> /etc/modules"

Reboot your machine manually, or using the command line:

$ sudo reboot

Using mediabox

Once the prerequisites are all taken care of you can move forward with using mediabox.

1. Clone the mediabox repository: $ git clone https://github.com/tom472/mediabox.git

2. Change directory into mediabox: $ cd mediabox/

3. Run the mediabox.sh script: $ ./mediabox.sh (See below for the script questions)

4. To upgrade Mediabox at anytime, re-run the mediabox script: $ ./mediabox.sh

Please be prepared to supply the following details after you run Step 3 above

As the script runs you will be prompted for:

1. Your Private Internet Access credentials

   • username
   • password

2. The version of Plex you want to run

   • latest
   • public
   • plexpass

   Note: If you choose plexpass as your version you may optionally specify CLAIM_TOKEN - you can get your claim token by logging in at plex.tv/claim

3. Credentials for the NBZGet interface and the Deluge daemon which needed for the CouchPotato container.

   • username
   • password

Upon completion, the script will launch your mediabox containers.

Portainer has been switched to the CE branch

• A Password will now be required - the password can be set at initial login to Portiner.
• Initial Username The initial username for Portainer is admin

Mediabox has been tested to work on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS - Server and Desktop
