codeandClaude Opus 5.5 7ed139d134 media stack: shared /data/media layout, promote sonarr/radarr/jellyfin/jellyseerr

- Promote sonarr, radarr, jellyfin, jellyseerr from _dev
- qBittorrent, Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Readarr, Whisparr mount /data/media
  at /media so paths match across containers (no remote path mappings,
  hardlinks work); downloads go to /media/downloads/prowlarr
- Jellyfin: drop photos (use Immich) and unused internal network, rewrite README
- Jellyseerr: add TZ, document container hostnames and root folders

Jellyseerr

Overview

Jellyseerr is a free and open-source request management system for your Jellyfin/Emby media library, forked from Overseerr. It lets users browse, discover, and request movies and TV shows. Approved requests are sent to Sonarr/Radarr for automatic downloading.

Project Details

Project Repository: https://docs.jellyseerr.dev/
Container Image: ghcr.io/hotio/jellyseerr
Reverse Proxy Port: 5055

Getting Started

Open http://localhost:5055 in your browser and complete the initial setup:

Create your admin account
Connect Jellyfin — sign in with your Jellyfin admin account. Server URL: http://jellyfin:8096 (container name on the proxy network). Then pick which libraries to sync (Movies, Shows)
Connect Radarr and Sonarr — get each API key from Settings → General in the app:

Radarr Sonarr

Hostname radarr sonarr

Port 7878 8989

Root Folder /media/movies /media/shows

Quality Profile pick one pick one

Tick Default Server on each, click Test, then Save
Users can now browse your library and submit requests via the Jellyseerr UI

	Radarr	Sonarr
Hostname	`radarr`	`sonarr`
Port	`7878`	`8989`
Root Folder	`/media/movies`	`/media/shows`
Quality Profile	pick one	pick one

Request flow

User submits a request → approved (auto or manual) → Jellyseerr sends it to Sonarr/Radarr → download client grabs it → media appears in Jellyfin

Environment Variable Notes

Variable	Description
`JELLYSEERR_IMAGE`	Container image (default: `ghcr.io/hotio/jellyseerr:release`)
`JELLYSEERR_RESTART`	Restart policy (default: `unless-stopped`)
`JELLYSEERR_PORT`	Published port for the web UI (default: `5055`)
`TZ`	Container timezone (default: `America/Vancouver`)
`VOL_PATH`	Base path for persistent data volumes (default: `/data`)

Volume Notes

Volume	Purpose
`${VOL_PATH:-/data}/jellyseerr/config`	Application configuration and database

Network Notes

Requires an external proxy network. Create it once with:

docker network create proxy

Docker Run

docker run -d \
  --name=jellyseerr \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e UMASK=002 \
  -e TZ=America/Vancouver \
  -p 5055:5055 \
  -v ${VOL_PATH:-/data}/jellyseerr/config:/config \
  --network proxy \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  ghcr.io/hotio/jellyseerr:release

Additional Notes / Gotchas

Jellyseerr doesn't mount any media. It only talks to Jellyfin, Sonarr and Radarr over their APIs, so it needs just /config.
The root folders entered here are paths inside the Sonarr/Radarr containers (/media/shows, /media/movies), not host paths.
Use container names (jellyfin, sonarr, radarr), not localhost. Inside the container, localhost is Jellyseerr itself.
