This repo contains documentation of my current setup for my home server running Ubuntu Server 22.04 on an Intel Nuc.
Services include
- Plex Media Server
- Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, Overseerr & qBittorrent
- Home Assistant, Mosquitto, Zigbee2MQTT & Cloudflared
- Pi-hole & Unbound
- Azure Self Hosted Build Agent
- Tailscale, Gluetun
- Portainer, Watchtower & Glances
- Ollama (LLM) & Open WebUI
Everything is containerized in Docker, and it assumes that the local subnet is 192.168.2.0/24, with the gateway located at 192.168.2.254 and the network interface named eno1.
Install docker https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/
The apps folder can be copied to ~/apps

In each folder in apps after providing the .env file you can run docker compose up -d to bring them to life.
docker compose up -d
docker compose up -d --force-recreate --buildPihole, Home Assistant, Overseerr & Glances needs to have their IP addresses setup first (next chapter).
We can add multiple addresses to our network interface. Make sure the router does not assign IP's above these IP's. Currently we have these hardcoded IP addresses:
| IP | App | Domain |
|---|---|---|
| 192.168.2.253 | Pi-Hole | pihole.local |
| 192.168.2.252 | Unbound | |
| 192.168.2.251 | Home Assistant | home.local |
| 192.168.2.250 | Overseerr | stream.local |
| 192.168.2.249 | Glances | stats.local |
| 192.168.2.248 | Open WebUI (Ollama) | chat.local |
We have to create a file that we can call on boot to always add these IP addresses.
- Create file
sudo nano ~/scripts/extra-ips.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
ip addr add 192.168.2.253/24 dev eno1
ip addr add 192.168.2.252/24 dev eno1
ip addr add 192.168.2.251/24 dev eno1
ip addr add 192.168.2.250/24 dev eno1
ip addr add 192.168.2.249/24 dev eno1
ip addr add 192.168.2.248/24 dev eno1sudo chmod +x ~/scripts/extra-ips.sh
- Create file
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/extra-ips.service
#!/usr/bin/env bash

Torrents downloads to ~/data/torrent
Usenet downloads to ~/data/torrent
Plex has access to ~/data/media
The setup requires remote path mappings on Radarr and Sonarr's download client.
Torrent: From remote path /download to local path /movies/torrents
Usenet: From remote path /config/Downloads/complete/ to local path /movies/usenet
When connected to a power source the Nuc automacally turns on. Handy for when there's an power outage and you're on vacation.
- Press F2 during boot to enter BIOS Setup.
- Go to the Power > Secondary Power Settings menu.
- Set the option for After Power Failure to Power On.
