Sonarr

Sonarr manages TV shows 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 episodes from indexers into the Jellyfin TV library.

Host: FrankBook-Pro (podman machine) — Access: direct port 8989 (no reverse-proxy vhost; the *arr stack is exempt by construction from the Anubis guard chain) — Docs: https://wiki.servarr.com/sonarr

Deployment (current)

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

[Container]
ContainerName=sonarr

Environment=UMASK_SET=022

[Service]
TimeoutStartSec=900

Configuration

  1. Add Prowlarr as the indexer source (see Prowlarr — the feed route is /{indexerId}/api).
  2. Add qBittorrent as the download client with the tv category (qBittorrent).
  3. Set quality profile, cutoff, and minimum/maximum episode sizes.
  4. Set the root folder to the TV root under the COMPLETE volume (Sonarr imports from where qBittorrent drops completed downloads).
  5. Add a test series and verify the grab → download → import chain end-to-end.

Gotchas

  • Sonarr v4 is the current stable. The v3 branch uses the :v3 tag.
  • Anime has different quality profiles and naming conventions than Standard series.
  • Missing episodes: set "Unmonitor Missing Episodes" to auto-unmonitor old episodes.
  • Timezone-sensitive scheduler: every unit in the stack runs TZ=America/Los_Angeles; keep them uniform.
