If you're new to dockers and want a easy setup I suggest to take a look at [DockSTARTer](https://dockstarter.com/){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}.
I've also created a short guide [HERE](#dockstarter) where I explain the settings for the most used applications.
The main goal of DockSTARTer is to make it quick and easy to get up and running with Docker.
You may choose to rely on DockSTARTer for various changes to your Docker system or use DockSTARTer as a stepping stone and learn to do more advanced configurations.
*DockSTARTer was actually my first steps in to the world of dockers.*
!!! note
I'm not going to explain how to get dockers installed and running, I will only explain which folder structure we recommend you to use and also provide a docker-compose.

*I do recommend to use a non-root user with sudo permissions.*
##### Folder Structure
!!! attention
It doesn't really matter which path you use for your media and appdata,
the only thing you should avoid is `/home`.
the only thing you should avoid is `/home`.
Because user folders in `/home` are expected to have some restrictive permissions.
It just could end up creating a permissions mess, so it's better to just avoid entirely.
##### Folder Structure
For this example we're going to make use of a share called `data`.
The `data` folder has sub-folders for `torrents` and `usenet` and each of these have sub-folders for `tv`, `movie` and `music` downloads to keep things neat. The `media` folder has nicely named `TV`, `Movies` and `Music` sub-folders, this is your library and what you’d pass to Plex, Emby or JellyFin.
*In this examples I'm using lower case on all folder on purpose, being Linux is case sensitive.*

##### Appdata
Your appdata will be stored in `/docker/appdata/{appname}`
```bash
sudo mkdir -p /docker/appdata
```
##### Permissions
```bash
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /data /docker
sudo chmod -R a=,a+rX,u+w,g+w /data /docker
```
A docker-compose file exist of 1 file that holds all the needed info of all your docker containers.
this makes it easy to maintain and compare paths.
Download this [docker-compose.yml](https://gist.github.com/TRaSH-/73a2250c2645dfe1c97c61bb5fc46d59){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} to your `/docker/` location so you got your important stuff together.
CD to your `/docker` folder and use the following command to download it.
This docker-compose file will have the following docker containers included.
- Radarr
- Sonarr
- Bazarr (Subtitle searcher and downloaded)
- NZBGet
- qBittorent
- Plex
- Tautulli
- Watchtower (automatic docker container updater)
##### Changes you need to do
1. Change the PUID/PGID.
1. TZ (Change to your timezone)
##### Run the Docker Compose
```bash
sudo docker-compose up -d
```
You will notice that all the images will be downloaded, and after that the containers will be started. If you get a error then look at the error what it says and try to fix it. If you still got issues then put your used docker-compose.yml on pastebin and join the guides-discord [here](https://trash-guides.info/discord){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} and provide the pastebin link with the error, have patience because of timezone differences.
Don't forget to look at the [Examples](#examples) how to setup the paths inside the containers.
!!! tip
##### Docker Compose Collection
I've created a collection of often used applications that you can use to add/replace in the current `docker-compose.yml`
