# What is Sonarr?
|
||
|
||
From their [wiki](https://wiki.servarr.com/sonarr):
|
||
|
||
> 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/](). You'll see the authentication configuration page.
|
||
|
||
- Select "Forms (Login Page)" as the "Authentication Method".
|
||
- In "Authentication Required" select "Disabled for Local Addresses".
|
||
|
||
Fill it in with your information and click on save:

|
||
|
||
Then 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}`
|

|
||

|
||
|
||
At the bottom of the same screen, go to "Root folders" and click on "Add Root Folder".
|
||
|
||
[](/pics/sonarr-3.png)
|
||
|
||
And add the `/data/tvshows/` folder
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
**Note:** This is NOT on your filesystem! The `/data/tvshows/` folder exists inside the `docker` environment and maps to your server `/mediafolder/media/tvshows/` folder!
|
||
|
||
Finally, click on "Save Changes".
