Radarr
Overview
Radarr is an automated movie collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It monitors your watchlist (from Trakt, IMDb, etc.), scans configured indexers for releases, and sends matches to your download client. After download, it renames and organizes files into your movie library and notifies your media server.
Project Details
- Project Repository: https://radarr.video/
- Container Image: ghcr.io/hotio/radarr
- Reverse Proxy Port:
7878
Getting Started
Open http://localhost:7878 in your browser and complete the initial setup wizard:
- Choose your UI language
- Add a download client — select qBittorrent, enter its host/port/credentials
- Add an indexer — or connect to Prowlarr for automatic indexer sync
Once the wizard finishes, you'll see an empty library. To populate it:
- Go to Settings → Media Management and add a Root Folder (e.g.,
/movies) — this is where your organized movie library will live - Click Add Movie and search by title — Radarr fetches metadata, posters, and available releases
- Optionally connect a List (Trakt, IMDb, etc.) to auto-import movies from your watchlists
Download flow
qBittorrent downloads to its own directory → Radarr picks it up, renames the file, and moves it into <Root Folder>/Movie Name (Year)/
