Doplarr

General Information

Doplarr is a Radarr, Sonarr, and Overseerr request bot for Discord. Doplarr can perform requests with either Radarr/Sonarr or Overseerr using your Discord bot application.

Initial Setup Requirements

  • Discord account and private server for the bot application
  • SSH access for installing the Doplarr application
  • If using the Radarr/Sonarr request method, then Radarr and/or Sonarr will need to be already installed and with their respective Media Root Folders already configured
  • If using the Overseerr request method, then Overseerr will need to be already installed with Radarr and/or Sonarr already configured within Overseerr

Setting Up Your Discord Bot Application

  • Create a new Discord Application and name it accordingly
  • Click the Bot link in the left side menu and then Add Bot
    • It is strongly suggested to DISABLE the Public Bot option, otherwise other Discord users will have the ability to add your bot to their servers and add requests to your applications
  • Retrieve your bot token by clicking the Reset Token button.
    • Make sure to save your bot token somewhere safe as you will not be able to retrieve it again without resetting the token.
  • Click the OAuth2 link in the left side menu and then the sub menu URL Generator
  • In the SCOPES section select the bot and applications.commands scopes then scroll down to find the GENERATED URL link. Copy and paste your bot’s GENERATED URL to a new browser/tab to then invite your Discord Application bot your Discord server.
    • If your Discord handle is in multiple servers, make sure to select your server from the ADD TO SERVER: dropdown list and then click the blue Authorize button to invite your bot to your preferred Discord server
  • Once you have invited your Discord Application bot to your server you will see it in your member list, however it will be in the offline state until you install Doplarr using your bot’s token

    • An example SSH command to install Doplarr for use with both Radarr and Sonarr requests would be:
