Systems - Docker Main - Install Docker Containers - Install Sonarr

Sonarr automates TV downloads from public and private trackers.

Create the Sonarr Directories

Sonarr 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/sonarr
mkdir /home/peter/sonarr/config
mkdir /home/peter/sonarr/tv
mkdir /home/peter/downloads

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

In Portainer:

Select Stack.
Click Add Stack.
Name: Sonarr.

Web editor:

docker-compose

---
version: "2.1"
services:
  sonarr:
    image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/sonarr
    container_name: sonarr
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/Jersey
    volumes:
      - /home/peter/sonarr/config:/config
      - /home/peter/sonarr/tv:/tv #optional
      - /home/peter/downloads:/downloads #optional
    ports:
      - 8989:8989
    restart: unless-stopped

NOTE: Change settings as required.

/home/peter/sonarr/config: This directory will need to be created on the host.
/home/peter/sonarr/tv: This directory contains the TV shows.
PUID and GUID: Set to the numbers determined earlier.
Port 8989: Change as required.

Confirm Sonarr is running

Open Portainer.

Press F5 to refresh.

NOTE: This should show the Sonarr container running.

Open Sonarr

Visit http://192.168.1.30:8989 in a browser.

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

The 8989 port is the port configured for Sonarr.

It is suggested to set this URL in the web browser to be the default loading page.

Setup Sonarr

Configure as required.

For example, change file naming:

{Series Title} - S{season:00}E{episode:00} - {Episode Title} {Quality Full}

to

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