Radarr

Sonarr for movies — monitors wanted films, grabs them, organizes the library.

Web UI: http://<host>:7878

First-Time Setup

  1. Download Client — Settings > Download Clients > Add SABnzbd. Host sabnzbd, port 8080, plus its API key.
  2. Root Folder — Settings > Media Management. /data/complete/movies if you use docker-compose.override.yml, otherwise /movies.
  3. Indexers — sync automatically from Prowlarr.
  4. Quality Profiles — let Recyclarr sync TRaSH profiles.

Things to Know

  • Same hardlink rules as Sonarr — see Sonarr. Don't use exFAT; it has no hardlinks.
  • Naming — TRaSH recommends {Movie CleanTitle} ({Release Year}) {imdb-{ImdbId}}.
  • API key — Settings > General > Security. Needed by Seerr and Bazarr.
  • Collections hold profile references too. Radarr refuses to delete a quality profile that no movie uses if a collection still points at it. Check /api/v3/collection as well as /api/v3/movie.
  • _UNPACK_ / _FAILED_ folders never import — those prefixes match downloadClientWorkingFolders, so Radarr reports "File is still being unpacked" indefinitely. Rename the folder, then GET /manualimport?folder=… and POST /command {name:ManualImport}.
