docker-compose-radarr-sonarr-prowlarr-transmission

Quick setup for Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr and Transmission made for a friend at some point and open sourced.

Requirements:

• Docker: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/
• Docker compose: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/linux/#install-using-the-repository
• A HDD or USB mounted at /media, of the mountpath is different update the path in docker-compose.yml under volumes: https://raspberrypi-guide.github.io/filesharing/mounting-external-drive

TLDR: run these on a new install of Ubuntu to install Docker and add your user to the docker group:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install \
    ca-certificates \
    curl \
    gnupg \
    lsb-release \
    git

sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg

echo \
    "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
    $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Get started

If you didn't use the above TLDR, make sure you did the linux-postinstall steps. Make sure after the above usermod you logged in and out once (type exit on the terminal).

Get a copy of the docker-compose.yml, could be copy pasting or cloning the repository with git:

git clone https://github.com/wilmardo/docker-compose-radarr-sonarr-prowlarr-transmission.git
cd docker-compose-radarr-sonarr-prowlarr-transmission

In the docker-compose.yml you must setup the OPENVPN_ variables under the environment: key. See here for more information: https://haugene.github.io/docker-transmission-openvpn/config-options/

When completed it is time to start the containers

• --compatibility is to convert deploy keys in v3 files to their non-Swarm equivalent
• --detach is for starting in the background)

docker compose --compatibility up --detach

It should start pulling the containers like so:

Pulling transmission (haugene/transmission-openvpn:2.7)...

After this command completes like so:

Creating radarr               ... done
Creating sonarr               ... done
Creating transmission-openvpn ... done
Creating prowlarr             ... done
Creating samba                ... done

The services are available on the localhost addresses:

• Radarr: http://127.0.0.1:7878/
• Sonarr: http://127.0.0.1:8989/
• Prowlarr: http://127.0.0.1:9696/

When you are accessing the server from outside the server (over SSH for example) replace 127.0.0.1 with the IP of your server.

The SMB share is available on the same ip address without credentials. When credentials are needed look at these options: https://github.com/dperson/samba#configuration

If you didn't setup credentials it is as easy as entering \\<ip>\Media in the Windows explorer bar. See this link for some more information: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-connect-to-linux-samba-shares-from-windows-10/

Some useful links and tips:

• Check the running containers with docker compose ps
• Check logs of the containers with docker compose logs <container name> container name is visible in the docker ps output. For example: docker compose logs radarr
• Container can connect between eachother on their name in the compose file, for example http://prowlarr:9696 as Prowlarr Server and http://radarr:7878 as Radarr server.
• Add Sonarr and Radarr as clients in Prowlarr to automatically setup indexers in them (settings>apps)
• Update the containers to their latest version with docker compose pull and docker compose up -d
