Hey! Not really, I'm still using Mullvad and I think privacy (not doing kyc and being able to pay with crypto or cash without creating an account) is a more important thing than port forwarding. If you need port forwarding, you can always choose another VPN!

Oh, nice catch! Would you mind creating a new issue in Gitlab? If not don't worry, I can create it late it later! Thanks for the feedback!

I do accept external contributions, and as a matter of fact, I encourage it! I've merged others people's code! For example, Lidarr and Readarr where added by people in our community.

Merge Requests are always open for YAMS. To contribute, just fork the APP to your Gitlab account, make changes and create a MR into YAMS, like any other open source app.

I should create a guide on how to collaborate. Thanks for the idea!

YAMS v2 fixes this issue! Now new containers go in their own docker-compose file, and there's some new instructions on how to do that here https://yams.media/advanced/add-your-own-containers/

Yes, docker is a dependency. I went with docker because it's way easier and user friendlier to use than installing everything bare metal.

Don't get me wrong, I prefer to run everything in bare metal, but for this specific application, Docker seems like the better idea. For example, it's easier to add your own containers than to install something from scratch.

Ok, this is actually a good idea! Thanks, I'll do that later today! Thank you for your feedback!

To me, all these collection of software are what make a great Media Server, and that's what mostly everyone in the community uses. Also, "YAMS" is a funny name lol. Thank you for your feedback though!

Hello everyone!

I'm thrilled to be back here again! In case you're not familiar with YAMS, YAMS (Yet Another Media Server) is a powerful script that simplifies the installation of a comprehensive media server. It includes all the essential *arr apps, along with exceptionally detailed documentation. In just a few minutes, you can have a fully functional media server with Sonarr, Radarr, Jellyfin, qBittorrent, and more! To learn more, you can visit the following links:

Reddit thread: YAMS on r/selfhosted
YAMS Website (featuring its cool documentation): YAMS Website

And now, I'm excited to announce the release of YAMS v2!

What's New in YAMS v2?

YAMS v2 introduces a new command: yams upgrade, which allows YAMS to upgrade itself.
Adding custom containers is now easier. You can find a step-by-step tutorial here: Add your own containers.
On the code side, the documentation has seen significant improvements. If you're interested in how YAMS works under the hood, you can explore the full code documentation here: YAMS Code Documentation.

Upgrading to YAMS v2 is entirely optional! YAMS v1 will continue to work and receive support.

Starting now, every new YAMS installation is automatically YAMS v2!

In other news, I've also established a dedicated forum for all things YAMS related! After noticing that many users were encountering similar issues, we concluded that a forum would greatly enhance troubleshooting, making it more accessible, searchable, and enjoyable.

Feel free to visit the new forums at YAMS Forum. Don't hesitate to drop by and introduce yourself!

For those interested in YAMS, there's a comprehensive tutorial on how to configure all the services together: Services Configuration Tutorial. The tutorial is designed to be platform-agnostic, so even if you're not using YAMS, you might find it useful!

Thank you for taking the time to read this, whether you're already a loyal YAMS user or are considering becoming a new YAMS enthusiast! Your feedback and insights are highly valuable to me, and I'm eager to hear what you think!
