Radarr
In this section, we'll be setting up Radarr. This guide assumes that this is your first time installing Radarr, and you'll be storing your media locally, saving it to ~/media. We'll be doing the following:
- Enabling Automatic Organization
- Adding your root media folder
- Connecting your download clients
For more information on this app, you may visit this link.
Enable Automatic Organization
- Access and log in to your Radarr instance using the credentials you set during installation
- Go to Settings
- Make sure that advanced settings are set to Shown and click Media Management
- Under Movie Naming section, check Rename Movies
- You can leave the rest of the options as-is. The defaults work well with Plex's naming scheme.
- Under Importing section, make sure that Use hardlinks instead of copy is checked
- Hardlinks effectively creates a file that points directly to your source file in the disk. You can do anything to this file without affecting your source file and vice versa.
Add your media Root Folder
- To add your Root Folders, select Add Root Folder also under Settings -> Media Management
- This will bring up the File Browser window.
- From here, navigate to
/home/your_username/media/folder and select the correct folder - Once that's done, click OK. You'll see the absolute path of the Root folder.
- Click Save changes to save your changes
Add Download Clients
- Now, click the Download Clients on the left-hand side menu.
- To add your preferred client, click the big
+button, then select your preferred client.

Troubleshooting Information
“Why is Radarr down with application error 502? It won't come back!”
If Radarr is reporting 502 and you have followed all the instructions on the error page (restarting, then upgrading if that fails), then something else is going on. All troubleshooting from here requires you to access your SSH terminal.
- If you use mergerfs in conjunction with Radarr, first ensure your mono instance is not defunct with
ps aux | grep defunct. If it's defunct, killing your mounts will release the process, and you will be able to restart Sonarr/Radarr. Rclone cloud mounts should not be used directly with any application. MergerFS should be used. - Have you been into the system settings of Radarr recently and use a password manager? Your password manager may have auto-filled the Port. The ports should not be modified as they are just the internal docker ports, and SSL is handled via nginx. Please check the ports in the applications config.xml with the following command:
cat .apps/radarr/config.xml | grep PortRadarr port should output the following.
support@server:~$ cat .apps/radarr/config.xml | grep Port
<Port>7878</Port>
<SslPort>9898</SslPort>If they report other values, then use a text editor on config.xml and change to the Port displayed above.
