Buildarr Radarr Plugin

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

Radarr is a PVR application which downloads, renames and manages the lifecycle of movies in your media library. In other words, it is to movies what Sonarr is to TV shoes. It can monitor for both upcoming and current releases and grab them when they become available, as well as upgrade to higher quality versions of monitored releases when a suitable version is available.

Currently, Radarr V4 and Radarr V5 are the supported versions. If you are using Radarr V3 or earlier, please upgrade in order to manage your instances with Buildarr.

Installation

When using Buildarr as a standalone application, the Radarr plugin can simply be installed using pip:

pip install buildarr buildarr-radarr

When using Buildarr as a Docker container, the Radarr plugin is bundled with the official container (callum027/buildarr), so 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-radarr==<version>"

Quick Start

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

If authentication is disabled on your Radarr instance, Buildarr will automatically retrieve the API key from the instance, meaning that you do not need to define it in the configuration.

If authentication is enabled, manually retrieve the API key for Radarr by copying it from Settings -> General -> Security -> API Key, and pasting it into the configuration file as shown below.

---

buildarr:
  watch_config: true

radarr:
  hostname: localhost  # Defaults to `radarr`, or the instance name for instance-specific configs.
  port: 7878  # Defaults to 7878.
  protocol:  http  # Defaults to `http`.
  api_key: ...  # Required if authentication is enabled. Auto-fetch if authentication is disabled.

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 Radarr instance.

Try a buildarr run. If the output is similar to the below output, Buildarr was able to connect to your Radarr instance.

Configuring your Buildarr instance

The following sections cover comprehensive configuration of a Radarr instance.

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

• Host Configuration
• Settings
  • Media Management
  • Profiles
    • Quality Profiles
    • Delay Profiles
  • Quality
  • Custom Formats
  • Indexers
  • Download Clients
  • Notifications (Connect)
  • Metadata
  • Tags
  • General
  • UI

Configuration of the following resources are not yet supported by this plugin (but will be added in future versions):

• Import Lists
• Indexer Restrictions (Radarr V4 only)
• Release Profiles (Radarr V5+)

Dumping an existing Radarr instance configuration

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

$ buildarr radarr dump-config http://localhost:7878 > radarr.yml
Radarr instance API key: <Paste API key here>

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

All possible values are explicitly defined in this dumped configuration.
