Radarr

Radarr is an independent fork of Sonarr reworked for automatically downloading movies via Usenet and BitTorrent.

Initial Setup

First you must connect to your slot via ssh. If you need help connecting to the server, please read the help article here.

Installing Radarr is easy. Simply issue the following command:

box install radarr

This command will configure radarr for your user.

How to Access

After Radarr has been installed, it will be available for access at https://<hostname.ltd>/radarr.

Service Management

Like all box configured applications, you can manage Radarr via SSH with box with start, stop, restart, enable and disable commands.

Start

box start radarr

Stop

box stop radarr

Restart

box restart radarr

Enable

box enable radarr

Disable

box disable radarr

Configuration

Out of the box, Radarr comes with very little configuration. Following are some basic tasks to help get your client up and running:

Add a new show (and your first root directory)

1. At the top, click series.
2. Click the button + Add Movie
3. Type the name of the show you want to add
4. Under Path, choose Add a new path. Enter the path for the folder you wish to add your Sonarr shows to and click the green checkmark to add the directory.

• e.g. /home/<username>/media/Movies

5. Change the other settings to your own needs
6. Click the green + to add the show.

Connect download clients

To add a download client, go to Settings > Download Client. Make sure Advanced Settings are shown and click Add Client.

Since Radarr v3, you will now need to disable certificate validation for localhost domains as well if you are connecting to port 443. You can find this setting in Settings > General.

Add an indexer with Jackett

Radarr only supports a few trackers out of the box, but the indexers can be expanded by using the application Jackett. To add an indexer with Jackett, use the following steps.

note

By default, when receivng the torznab feed from Jackett, it will need to be modified to be connected with the application. The default link looks like:

https://xl.swizzin.ltd/jackett/api/v2.0/indexers/yourtracker/results/torznab/

We need to edit this link to remove https and add the port number. Thus, if your port number was 12345, your editted URL would look like this:

http://xl.swizzin.ltd:12345/jackett/api/v2.0/indexers/yourtracker/results/torznab/

1. Go to Settings > Indexers and click + to add a new indexer.
2. Under Torrent choose Torznab
3. Use the settings:

Name: <tracker name>

URL: <click copy torznab feed in jackett and modify as per above>

API Key: <copy and paste from jackett UI>

4. Click Test. If all is good, click Save.

Other tasks

You may wish to further alter your setup by setting quality profiles or setting up post-processing so that media is automatically transferred to your Radarr library when your torrents are completed. If you need further help, you can refer to the Radarr Wiki.
