Radarr is a fork of Sonarr to work with movies ala Couchpotato.


Create the Radarr Directories

Radarr will store its configuration data in a directory on the Host VM.

On the Ubuntu VM Host, create a directory for this config data.

mkdir /home/peter/radarr
mkdir /home/peter/radarr/config
mkdir /home/peter/radarr/movies
mkdir /home/peter/downloads

NOTE: The downloads directory will be used by other services too, so not within the radarr directory.


Determine the UID and GID

On the Ubuntu VM Host:

id peter

returns:

uid=1000(peter) gid=1000(peter) groups=1000(peter)...

NOTE: Take a note of the UID and GID numbers.

  • In this case 1000.

Install Radarr

In Portainer:

NOTE: Change settings as required.

  • /home/peter/radarr/config: This directory will need to be created on the host.
  • /home/peter/radarr/movies: This directory contains the movies.
  • PUID and GUID: Set to the numbers determined earlier.
  • Port 7878: Change as required.

Confirm Radarr is running

Open Portainer.

Press F5 to refresh.

NOTE: This should show the Radarr container running.


Open Radarr

Visit http://192.168.1.30:7878 in a browser.

NOTE: The IP address is whatever the Ubuntu VM is using.

  • The 7878 port is the port configured for Radarr.
  • It is suggested to set this URL in the web browser to be the default loading page.

Setup Radarr

Configure as required.

For example, change file naming:

{Movie Title} ({Release Year}) {Quality Full}

to

{Series Title}.S{season:00}E{episode:00}.{Episode Title}.{MediaInfo VideoCodec}.{Quality Title}
