Web UI: http://<host>:8080
- Add Usenet Server — Config > Servers. Enter your provider's hostname, port (563 for SSL), username, and password. Test the connection.
-
Set Up Categories — Config > Categories. Create a
tvcategory and amoviescategory. Sonarr/Radarr will use these to route downloads to the right folders. - Get API Key — Config > General > Security. You'll need this when adding SABnzbd as a download client in Sonarr/Radarr.

SSD temp path — The compose file maps
SABNZBD_TEMPto/downloads/intermediatefor faster unpacking. Make sure this points to an SSD. - Categories matter — Without categories, Sonarr/Radarr can lose track of downloads. Always set the matching category when adding SABnzbd as a download client.
-
Host whitelist — If Sonarr/Radarr can't connect, add the container name to Config > Special >
host_whitelist. - Performance — If the server struggles during unpacking, try disabling Direct Unpack or enabling "Pause Downloading During Post-Processing".
