Buildarr Sonarr Plugin#

PyPI PyPI - Python Version GitHub Pre-commit hooks Code style: black

The Buildarr Sonarr plugin (buildarr-sonarr) is a plugin for Buildarr that adds the capability to configure and manage Sonarr instances.

Sonarr is a PVR application which downloads, renames and manages the lifecycle of TV shows in your media library. It is capable of scanning for higher quality versions of your media and automatically upgrading them when a suitable version is available.

Currently, Sonarr V3 is the only supported version. Sonarr V4 support is planned for the future.

Installation#

From version 0.4.0 onwards, the Buildarr Sonarr plugin is now an independent package, developed separately from the core Buildarr package.

When using Buildarr as a standalone application, it can simply be installed using pip:

$ pip install buildarr buildarr-sonarr

When using Buildarr as a Docker container, the Sonarr plugin is still bundled in the official container (callum027/buildarr). There is no need to install it separately.

You can upgrade, or pin the version of the plugin to a specific version, within the container by setting the $BUILDARR_INSTALL_PACKAGES environment variable in the docker run command using --env/-e:

-e BUILDARR_INSTALL_PACKAGES="buildarr-sonar==<version>"

In Buildarr version 0.3.0 and earlier, the Sonarr plugin was vendored within the core Buildarr package. On these versions, it is not necessary to install the Sonarr plugin separately.

Quick Start#

To use the Sonarr plugin, create a sonarr block within buildarr.yml, and enter the connection information required for the Buildarr instance to connect to the Sonarr instance you'd like to manage.

Buildarr won't modify anything yet since no configuration has been defined, but you are able to test if Buildarr is able to connect to and authenticate with the Sonarr instance.

---

buildarr:
  watch_config: true

sonarr:
  hostname: "localhost" # Defaults to `sonarr`, or the instance name for instance-specific configs.
  port: 8989 # Defaults to 8989.
  protocol: "http" # Defaults to `http`.
  api_key: "..." # Optional. If undefined, auto-fetch (authentication must be disabled).

Now try a buildarr run. If the output is similar to the below output, Buildarr was able to connect to your Sonarr instance.

Configuring your Sonarr instance#

The following sections cover comprehensive configuration of a Sonarr instance.

Note that these documents do not show how you should configure a Sonarr instance. Rather, they show how you can configure a Sonarr instance the way you want with Buildarr. For more information on how to optimally configure Sonarr, you can refer to the excellent guides from WikiArr and TRaSH-Guides.

Dumping an existing Sonarr instance configuration#

Buildarr is capable of dumping a running Sonarr instance's configuration.

$ buildarr sonarr dump-config http://localhost:8989 > sonarr.yml
Sonarr instance API key: <Paste API key here>

The dumped YAML object can be placed directly under the sonarr configuration block, or used as an instance-specific configuration.

Most values are explicitly defined in this dumped configuration, ensuring that when used with Buildarr, the configuration will always remain static.
