Lidarr

Lidarr manages music albums in the *arr stack. The stack runs on FrankBook-Pro (the Mac mini) as quadlet units inside its podman machine — not on Dankserver. It searches, downloads, and organizes albums from indexers into the Jellyfin music library.

Host: FrankBook-Pro (podman machine) — Access: direct port 8686 (no reverse-proxy vhost; the *arr stack is exempt by construction from the Anubis guard chain) — Docs: https://wiki.servarr.com/lidarr

Deployment (current)

Quadlet unit lidarr.container from this repo (frankbook-pro/lidarr/quadlet/) is installed inside the podman machine at /home/core/.config/containers/systemd/lidarr.service by the frankbook-pro handler in scripts/deploy-remote.sh. Unit shape:

Configuration

  1. Add Prowlarr as the indexer source (prefer torrent-based indexers for FLAC — the Nyaa feed carries music categories; see Prowlarr).
  2. Add qBittorrent as the download client with the music category (qBittorrent).
  3. Set quality profile (Lossless → High Bitrate → Standard).
  4. Set the root folder to the music root under the COMPLETE volume.
  5. Add artists and verify downloads.

Gotchas

  • Album variants: Lidarr supports multiple releases of the same album (vinyl vs CD). Use "Preferred" and "Cutoff" quality profiles.
  • Music videos can be optionally downloaded separately from albums.
