Confirmation data points for a Synology / Docker / Sonarr/Radarr/etc Media Center

[pixelrogue]

BACKGROUND
I am not a command line/console guy, and there are times where one needs to jump in and figure things out to achieve the end goals such as getting non-home devices talking to Siri or for a more advanced multi-media system.

While there are a million blogs, tutorials, instructional on Docker and related media services there are even more variations and variables and small data points could be missed, or a key component to your solution/environment may not have been fully covered or explained in way you might understand.

Below is how I achieved getting the media services running on Synology through Docker and behind a VPN.
None of this would have been possible if it were not for three individuals. @Rusty from SynoForum, awaiting ok to assign name of the second individual from this forum, and a third (who prefers to not be mentioned) from Sonarr forums. It is my hope the information shared below will be helpful to others seeking similar setups for their servers.


HARDWARE / SOFTWARE ENVIRONMENT
• MacMini (intel)
• Synology DS220+ DSM7
• USB Drive attached to DS220+ (specifically for media)
• Docker (via Synology Package Center)
• Portainer-ce (via Docker Registry)


SERVICES
• Gluetun (to configure open vpn)
• Jackett
• Jellyfin
• Lidarr
• Radarr
• Sonarr
• Transmission

IMAGES
Found it helpful to get images to match as sometimes what you one might not see in code shows up as a flag elsewhere w/o having to start hunting logs.
Look to get your configurations matching below (w/exception to unique configurations employed.)

SIDE NOTES

• Portainer allows you to use Portainer to delete itself and w/o as much as a simple flag to warn. This can be a pain to recover, so be careful when deleting containers and try to only delete from the stack itself or pay attention to each portainer selected.
