08. Radarr


1. Create Account

Now, that we have setup our Download clients i.e qBittorent and NZBGet we will configure Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, Bazaarr. However, we will only demonstrate one of the 4 since the configuration is exactly the same

  1. Go to your Radarr's IP address :7878
  2. Once, there you will start making an account. For this you can again use Bitwarden to create random login credentials for your instance

2. Media Management

  1. in this step we will assign the folders in which the radarr files will reside
  2. Go to Settings > Media Management > Add root folder
  3. Here you will choose the movie folder you have created in your docker compose file. If you follow this guide this would be at /data/media/Movies
  4. Congratulations, now you have told Radarr where to store all the movies.

3. Downloading Clients

Now we will connect the downloading clients qBittorent and nzbget to Radarr for it to use.

  1. Go to Settings > Downloading Clients > + add
  2. Select qBittorent and fill in the credentials of your qBittorent downloading client
  3. Once done, add another client but this time choose for nzbget.
  4. Also fill in here the credentials of your nzbget client with the category movies
  5. Awesome you are all set !

4. Indexers

The final thing we need to setup for our Radarr instance are indexers. However, we will use Prowlarr for this as a centralised indexer for all ARR apps. The only thing we need for Prowlarr to
connect to Radarr is it's API key.

  1. Go to Settings > General
  2. Copy paste the API key
