Tunarr — create live TV channels from your Plex/Jellyfin media libraries and expose them as an HDHomeRun/M3U tuner + XMLTV guide (a dizqueTV successor). Deployed as a single host-networked Nomad service.
Needs nomad-pack on PATH. The script only adds the nomploy registry and runs this pack.

This pack stores data in one Docker named volume:
tunarr_data
restic
# Run on the node hosting this pack. Point restic at your repo first: # export RESTIC_REPOSITORY="s3:https://<account>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com/<bucket>" # export RESTIC_PASSWORD="<repo-password>" # export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<key> AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret> restic backup \ /var/lib/docker/volumes/tunarr_data/_data
rclone (sync to S3/R2)
rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/tunarr_data/_data backup:<bucket>/tunarr_data
Paths assume the default Docker volume location (/var/lib/docker/volumes). Restore by stopping the job, restoring files into the same volume, and re-running the pack.
Tunarr — create your own live TV channels from your Plex/Jellyfin media, then watch them through those apps as if they were broadcast. It exposes an HDHomeRun-style tuner plus an M3U playlist and XMLTV guide, with a slick web UI for building channels, schedules and commercials. The spiritual successor to dizqueTV.
Single host-networked Nomad service with a persistent data volume.

| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
port |
8000 |
Web UI port. |
image |
chrisbenincasa/tunarr:latest |
Container image. Pin a tag in production. |
data_volume |
tunarr_data |
/config/tunarr — database, settings and cache. |
tz |
UTC |
Container timezone (TZ). |
resources |
{ cpu = 300, memory = 256 } |
Task resources. Add cores if you enable transcoding. |
Connect Tunarr to your media server(s) and FFmpeg in the web UI, build channels, then add the tuner/M3U + XMLTV URLs to Jellyfin/Plex/Emby. A prestart init task makes the data volume writable. For hardware transcoding, pass through the render device. Pin the job to the node holding the volume with
constraints.
