Sonarr
Sonarr is a smart PVR for newsgroup 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 Sonarr by logging in via SSH, then copying and pasting the following script:
wget -O ~/install.sonarr.sh https://bitbucket.org/feralio/wiki/raw/HEAD/src/wiki/software/sonarr.install.sh && bash ~/install.sonarr.sh
This script will output a success message alongside the URL to access Sonarr. Sonarr 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 Sonarr.
Starting, stopping and restarting
This section covers the Sonarr 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 Sonarr manually. Wait five minutes for it to auto-restart.
- check running
- pgrep -af Sonarr
- stop
- pkill -fe Sonarr
- kill (force stop)
- pkill -9 -fe Sonarr
- restart
- pkill -fe Sonarr Then wait five minutes for it to auto-restart.
Updating Sonarr
The executable and associated files to run Sonarr can be found under ~/.config/feral/ns/containers/docs-sonarr/app. If this folder is missing the latest version will be downloaded and Sonarr 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-sonarr/app
If you find this folder doesn't exist but Sonarr is definitely running then you likely installed Sonarr using a previous version of this guide. To address this, first ensure Sonarr's auto-restart is disabled (usually done via ~/.cronscript.sh) and then run the install script to get the newer set up.
Download clients
