What is Sonarr?
From their wiki:
Sonarr is a PVR for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new episodes of your favorite shows and will grab, sort and rename them. It can also be configured to automatically upgrade the quality of files already downloaded when a better quality format becomes available.
In YAMS, Sonarr is going to manage all our TV Shows, download them, sort them, etc.
Initial configuration
In your browser, go to http://{your-ip-address}:8989/ and you'll see Sonarr's empty page. You'll also notice you have 3 messages on the system tab, but we'll deal with them later.
Media management
First, go to "Settings" and then "Media management". On this screen:
- Click on "Show Advanced".
- Check the "Rename Episodes" box.
- Change "Standard Episode Format" to
{Series Title} - S{season:00}E{episode:00} - {Episode Title} - Change "Daily Episode Format" to
{Series Title} - {Air-Date} - {Episode Title} - Change "Anime Episode Format" to
{Series Title} - S{season:00}E{episode:00} - {Episode Title} - Change "Series Folder Format" to
{Series TitleYear}
At the bottom of the same screen, go to "Root folders" and click on "Add Root Folder".
And add the /tv/ folder
Note: This is NOT on your filesystem! The /tv/ folder exists inside the docker environment and maps to your server /mediafolder/tv/ folder!
Finally, click on "Save Changes".
Indexers
Here, you'll add all the indexers you want to use to get your TV shows. This is where you'll tie in Sonarr with Jackett.
In "Settings", go to "Indexers" and click on the ➕ button.
On the "Add Indexer" screen, click on "Torznab".
For this step, you'll need to go back to Jackett and click on the "Copy Torznab Feed" button of your desired indexer. Since on Jackett I configured "eztv", I'll be grabbing its Torznab Feed link.
Then back at Sonarr, add all the information to the "Add Indexer" screen.
- On "Name", add the name of your indexer (in this case, "eztv").
- On "URL", paste the Torznab Feed URL for your indexer. Notice how I'm replacing http://{your-ip-address}:9117 with http://jackett:9117. This is so Sonarr makes use of the internal docker network instead of the outside bridge. You should make this change too.
- On "API Key", paste your Jackett API key (Remember how I told you that you'll need it later? Well, this is the moment hehe).
- On "Categories", select
TV
At the bottom, you can click on "Test" and if everything is OK you should see a ✅.
If everything is fine, click on "Save". You should see your indexer added to the "Indexers" page now!
Download Clients
Here, you'll add the download clients for Sonarr. That's where you'll tie in Sonarr with qBittorrent.
In "Settings", go to "Download Clients" and click on the ➕ button.
On the "Add Download Client" screen, click on "qBittorrent".
- In Name, add the name of your download client (qBittorrent).
- On Host, add
qbittorrent. - On Username, add
admin. - On Password, add
adminadmin.
At the bottom, you can click on "Test" and if everything is OK you should see a ✅
If everything is fine, click on "Save". You should see your download client added to the "Download Clients" page now!
Checking if everything worked
To check If everything is working corrently, In "System" go to "Status". In "Health", you should see "No issues with configuration". If you don't see that message, go back in the tutorial and try to fix it!
Moving forward!
That's it! Now we can continue with Bazarr.
