You can find the full site at perfectmediaserver.com.

Perfect Media Server began life as a series of blog posts over at blog.linuxserver.io. Those posts continue to be very popular, but a blog post can only get you so far. Therefore, I introduce perfectmediaserver.com - a wiki format information repository detailing all you need to know to build a free, open, and modular media server that will last for years to come.

The primary technologies we recommend are Linux, Containers (via docker and managed using docker-compose), Proxmox, MergerFS, SnapRAID and ZFS.

You can find the original blog series of PMS here:

• Perfect Media Server (2016 Edition) - The Original Article
• Perfect Media Server (2017 Edition) - Extensive video guides
• Perfect Media Server (2019 Edition) - Boring is reliable + adding ZFS
• Perfect Media Server (2020 Edition) - Launching perfectmediaserver.com

If you're looking to build a media server, then you've come to the right place. This site documents the many aspects of building a media server using Free and Open Source Software wherever possible.

If writing and wanting to run a local copy of the wiki, run:

$ docker-compose up --build

or

pip3 -U -r requirements.txt

mkdocs serve

In both cases the site will be available at localhost:8000. In the docker version though some niceities like auto refresh on save go away.

To deploy the site, push to main, and a GitHub action will do the rest.

To contribute, open a PR, and I will review it. Gratefully received!
