skipchang/sonarr repository overview

Slight modification of the linuxserver/sonarr image.

Here's the content of the Dockerfile I created for my use:

---

FROM linuxserver/sonarr

⁠RUN groupadd -g 489 plex && useradd --no-log-init -r -g 489 -u 495 plex

The uid and gid is spcecific to my usage case at home.

---

Here's the script I use to start up the container.

docker run -d
--name=sonarr
--net home-net
-e PUID=495
-e PGID=489
-e TZ=America/Denver
-e UMASK_SET=022
-p 8989:8989
-v /root/docker/sonarr/config:/config
-v /data/sabnzb/tv:/tv
-v /data/sabnzb/downloads:/downloads
--restart unless-stopped
skipchang/sonarr

I created an internal docker network, home-net. All three of my containers (radarr, sonarr and sabnzbd) are on the private bridge. This allows easier communications between the containers.

One key find that drove me crazy for a long time is that the local /tv directory cannot be empty when you are adding a TV show. The sonarr check for the directory is not very robust. Just create a dummy directory in /tv (or the mount point) before adding any shows.
