Sonarr

Sonarr is a PVR for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new episodes of your favorite shows and will grab, sort and rename them. It can also be configured to automatically upgrade the quality of files already downloaded when a better quality format becomes available.

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 Sonarr is easy. Simply issue the following command:

box install sonarr

This command will configure sonarr for your user.

How to Access

Once setup, sonarr will be available at the link https://<hostname.ltd>/sonarr

Service Management

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

Start
Stop
Restart
Enable
Disable
box start sonarr
box stop sonarr
box restart sonarr
box enable sonarr
box disable sonarr

Configuration

Out of the box, Sonarr 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 Series
  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/TV Shows"
  1. Change the other settings to your own needs
  2. 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.

rTorrent
Deluge (via Web)
nzbGet
Name: rTorrent
rTorrent host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 443
URL Path: /rutorrent/plugins/httprpc/action.php
Use SSL: ON
Username: <your username>
Password: <your password>
Add label to torrent: TV (or anything else you desire)
Optional - Downloaded files location: <custom directory>
Name: Deluge
Host: 127.0.0.1
Post: <deluge web port>
Deluge Password: <your password>
Add label to torrent: TV (or anything else you desire)
* label plugin must be enabled in Deluge if you add a label
SSL: OFF
NZBget host: 127.0.0.1
port: 443
URL Base: nzbget
Connect using HTTPS: ON
nzbget username: <your username>
nzbget Password: <your password>
Add label to torrent: Series (or anything else you desire)
* label must exist under "Categories" in nzbGet

Since Sonarr 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

Sonarr 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: <copy and paste from jackett UI>
  1. 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 Sonarr library when your torrents are completed. If you need further help, you can refer to the Sonarr Wiki.
