{class="tab-icon"} What is Bazarr?

Bazarr is a companion application to Sonarr and Radarr. It can manage and download subtitles based on your requirements. You define your preferences by TV show or movie and Bazarr takes care of everything for you.

1 · Deploy Bazarr

{.tabset}

TrueNAS

  1. Change the Timezone. For east coast time, use America/New_York.
  2. Change the Storage Configuration. The Bazarr Config Storage Type should be set to Host Path as described in the Folder-Structure guide.
  3. Change the WebUI Port to 6767 as that is the default used in all the documentation. 

Docker Compose

services:
  bazarr:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/bazarr:latest
    container_name: bazarr
    environment:
      - PUID=568
      - PGID=568
      - TZ=America/New_York
    volumes:
      - /mnt/tank/configs/bazarr:/config
      - /mnt/tank/media:/media
    ports:
      - 6767:6767
    restart: unless-stopped

Permissions & Folder Structure

  • PUID / PGID: Ensure you use a user/group with the correct permissions for accessing media folders. TrueNAS SCALE defaults to 568:568 for apps.
  • Volumes: The container structure follows a common-sense naming convention, storing configurations under /mnt/tank/configs/bazarr
  • 📌 Refer to the Folder-Structure guide for more details.

2 · Bazarr Configuration

The wiki for Bazarr is very good. Once you have the container running, follow the instructions here and then set the profile for all of your existing content (if you have any). 

Before you do, you will probably want free account in these two places which will be used during the setup configuration:

  1. For Providers I used opensubtitles.com.
  2. For my anti-captcha I used anti-captcha.com. ( ← If you stick to opensubtitles only, you won't need this but it is generally recommended to use more than one provider.)
