What does HolyArrs do?

It runs movies, shows and music in one app: requests, searching your sources, picking a release, sending it to your downloader, importing the file, subtitles and alerts. It works with qBittorrent, SABnzbd, Transmission, NZBGet and Deluge. It does not download by itself.

Do I need API keys for names and pictures?

No. Names, pictures and charts come from the HolyArrs.com metadata server. See Metadata.

Can I keep my old apps while I try it?

Yes. Moving over only reads your old apps; they keep running until you turn them off. See Moving from other apps.

Will Seerr still work?

Yes. HolyArrs can answer Seerr and similar apps as if it were Sonarr and Radarr. It is off until you turn it on. See Old-app API.

What port does it use?

6262. Open http://your-server:6262.

Where are my settings stored?

In /config. Keep it on a local disk; HolyArrs refuses to run its database from a network share.

I lost the master key. Can I get my passwords back?

No. Stored passwords, keys and tokens are locked with holyarrs.key, and backups don’t hold it. Keep a copy somewhere safe. See Backups.

I forgot the owner password.

Run docker exec -i holyarrs /holyarrs reset-owner. It asks for a new name and password and signs everyone out. The same command fixes an owner account someone else made. See First run.

Why can’t I open a shell in the container?

The image holds only the HolyArrs program, so there is less for an attacker to use. Troubleshooting shows a throwaway helper container for a closer look.

Does HolyArrs send anything home?

Only what the metadata server needs to answer a lookup. See Metadata.

HolyArrs is free. If it saved you time, star it on GitHub, sponsor it or buy me a coffee.
