The LinuxServer.io team brings you another container release featuring:

This image is deprecated. We will not offer support for this image and it will not be updated. This project is no longer maintained upstream and we will no longer be updating this image. For an alternative try: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-radarr
Couchpotato is an automatic NZB and torrent downloader. You can keep a movies I want
list and it will search for NZBs/torrents of these movies every X hours. Once a movie is found, it will send it to SABnzbd or download the torrent to a specified directory.
Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64
, arm64
and armhf
. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/couchpotato
should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
Architecture | Tag |
---|---|
x86-64 | amd64-latest |
arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
armhf | arm32v7-latest |

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.
---
version: "2.1"
services:
couchpotato:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/couchpotato
container_name: couchpotato
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Europe/London
volumes:
- /path/to/appdata/config:/config
- /path/to/downloads:/downloads
- /path/to/movies:/movies
ports:
- 5050:5050
restart: unless-stopped
docker run -d \
--name=couchpotato \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-p 5050:5050 \
-v /path/to/appdata/config:/config \
-v /path/to/downloads:/downloads \
-v /path/to/movies:/movies \
--restart unless-stopped \
lscr.io/linuxserver/couchpotato
Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal>
respectively. For example, -p 8080:80
would expose port 80
from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080
outside the container.
Parameter | Function |
---|---|
-p 5050 |
http gui |
-e PUID=1000 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
-e PGID=1000 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
-e TZ=Europe/London |
Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London |
-v /config |
Couchpotato Application Data. |
-v /downloads |
Downloads Folder. |
-v /movies |
Movie Share. |
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__
.
As an example:
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword
Will set the environment variable PASSWORD
based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword
file.
For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022
setting.
Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.
When using volumes (-v
flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID
and group PGID
.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance PUID=1000
and PGID=1000
, to find yours use id user
as below:
$ id username
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
docker exec -it couchpotato /bin/bash
docker logs -f couchpotato
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' couchpotato
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/couchpotato
Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.
Below are the instructions for updating containers:
docker-compose pull
docker-compose pull couchpotato
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose up -d couchpotato
docker image prune
docker pull lscr.io/linuxserver/couchpotato
docker stop couchpotato
docker rm couchpotato
/config
folder and settings will be preserved)docker image prune
Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one run:
docker run --rm \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
containrrr/watchtower \
--run-once couchpotato
You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune
Note: We do not endorse the use of Watchtower as a solution to automated updates of existing Docker containers. In fact we generally discourage automated updates. However, this is a useful tool for one-time manual updates of containers where you have forgotten the original parameters. In the long term, we highly recommend using Docker Compose.
If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:
git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-couchpotato.git
cd docker-couchpotato
docker build \
--no-cache \
--pull \
-t lscr.io/linuxserver/couchpotato:latest .
The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset
Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64
.
UMASK_SET
in favor of UMASK in baseimage, see above for more information.
