Radarr
Radarr is a movie collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users.
You'll need to execute some commands via SSH to use this software. There is a separate guide on how to connect to your slot via SSH. Commands are kept as simple as possible and in most cases will simply need to be copied and pasted into the terminal window (then executed by pressing the Enter key).

Installation
Install Radarr by logging in via SSH, then copying and pasting the following script:
wget -O ~/install.radarr.sh https://bitbucket.org/feralio/wiki/raw/HEAD/src/wiki/software/radarr.install.sh && bash ~/install.radarr.sh
This script will output a success message alongside the URL to access Radarr. Radarr will take about five minutes to start up and then present a "Authentication Required" form.
You must complete the "Authentication Required" form immediately to secure Radarr.
Starting, stopping and restarting
This section covers the Radarr process—starting, stopping and restarting it. It also covers checking if the main process is running, in case that becomes necessary.
- start
- You cannot start Radarr manually. Wait five minutes for it to auto-restart.
- check running
- pgrep -af Radarr
- stop
- pkill -fe Radarr
- kill (force stop)
- pkill -9 -fe Radarr
- restart
- pkill -fe Radarr Then wait five minutes for it to auto-restart.
Updating Radarr
The executable and associated files to run Radarr can be found under ~/.config/feral/ns/containers/docs-radarr/app. If this folder is missing the latest version will be downloaded and Radarr will be restarted.
You can use an SFTP client to delete the folder. Or alternatively you can run the SSH command: rm -r ~/.config/feral/ns/containers/docs-radarr/app
If you find this folder doesn't exist but Radarr is definitely running then you likely installed Radarr using a previous version of this guide. To address this, first ensure Radarr's auto-restart is disabled (usually done via ~/.cronscript.sh) and then run the install script to get the newer set up.
