FreeBSD

The Radarr team only provides builds for FreeBSD. Plugins and Ports are maintained and created by the FreeBSD community.

Instructions for FreeBSD installations are also maintained by the FreeBSD community and anyone with a GitHub account may update the wiki as needed.

Jail Setup Using TrueNAS GUI

  1. From the main screen select Jails

  2. Click ADD

  3. Click Advanced Jail Creation

  4. Name (any name will work): Radarr

  5. Jail Type: Default (Clone Jail)

  6. Release: 12.2-Release (or newer)

  7. Configure Basic Properties to your liking

  8. Configure Jail Properties to your liking but add

  • allow_mlock

  • allow_raw_sockets

allow_raw_sockets is helpful for troubleshooting (e.g. ping, traceroute) but is not a requirement. {.is-info}

  1. Configure Network Properties to your liking

  2. Configure Custom Properties to your liking

  3. Click Save

  4. After the jail is created it will start automatically. One more property is required to be set in order for Radarr to see the storage space of your mounted media locations. Open a root shell on the server and enter these commands:

iocage stop <jailname>
iocage set enforce_statfs=1 <jailname>
iocage start <jailname>

Radarr Installation

Back on the jails list find your newly created jail for radarr and click Shell

To install Radarr

* Ensure your pkg repo is configured to get packages from /latest and not /quarterly * Check /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf * If that does not exist, copy over /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf to that location, open it, and replace quarterly with latest {.is-warning}

pkg install radarr

Don't close the shell out yet we still have a few more things!

Configuring Radarr

Now that we have it installed a few more steps are required.

Service Setup

Time to enable the service but before we do, a note:

The updater is disabled by default. The pkg-message gives instructions on how to enable the updater but keep in mind: this can break things like pkg check -s and pkg remove for Radarr when the built-in updater replaces files.

To enable the service:

sysrc radarr_enable=TRUE

If you do not want to use user/group radarr you will need to tell the service file what user/group it should be running under

sysrc radarr_user="USER_YOU_WANT"
sysrc radarr_group="GROUP_YOU_WANT"

radarr stores its data, config, logs, and PID files in /usr/local/radarr by default. The service file will create this and take ownership of it IF AND ONLY IF IT DOES NOT EXIST. If you want to store these files in a different place (e.g., a dataset mounted into the jail for easier snapshots) then you will need to change it using sysrc

sysrc radarr_data_dir="DIR_YOU_WANT"

Reminder: If you are using an existing location then you will manually need to either: change the ownership to the UID/GID radarr uses AND/OR add radarr to a GID that has write access.

Almost done, let's start the service:

service radarr start

If everything went according to plan then radarr should be up and running on the IP of the jail (port 7878)!

You can now safely close the shell

Troubleshooting

  • The service appears to be running but the UI is not loading or the page is timing out

    • Double check that allow_mlock is enabled in the jail

  • System.NET.Sockets.SocketException (43): Protocol not supported

    • Make sure you have VNET turned on for your jail, ip6=inherit, or ip6=new

The service script should now work around the lack of VNET and/or IP6 thus removing the requirement for VNET or ip6=inherit {.is-info}
