Getting started

Radarr is a movie collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new movies and will interface with clients and indexers to grab, sort and rename them.

  1. Install

    Run the install script for Debian-based systems:

    Terminal window
    curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huffmanks/code-share/main/src/files/scripts/radarr.sh | sudo bash

  2. Add user to groups

    Give your user and Radarr permission to access the media group and each other’s files:

    Terminal window
    sudo usermod -aG media {{USERNAME_VAR}}
    sudo usermod -aG media radarr

  3. Set folder group and permissions

    Change group ownership of your Videos directory and restrict access so only members of the group can read/write:

    Terminal window
    sudo chgrp -R media /home/{{USERNAME_VAR}}/Videos
    sudo chmod -R 775 /home/{{USERNAME_VAR}}/Videos

  4. Make directories inherit group

    Ensures that any new folders created under Videos will automatically use the media group:

    Terminal window
    sudo find /home/{{USERNAME_VAR}}/Videos -type d -exec chmod g+s {} +

  5. Open web ui

    http://localhost:7878 or http://{{SERVER_IP_VAR}}:7878
