Installing Sonarr

About this article

This article covers the installation of Sonarr within the QuickBox environment. If you are unsure about what Sonarr is, or if you are not sure it fits your needs, please refer to the Sonarr Quick Reference article for links and more about what Sonarr aims to achieve. 

It is worth noting that QuickBox currently offers versions 2 and 3 of Sonarr for install. Coming soon we will be deprecating the ability to install version 2 as version 3 is now the preferred version to install. So do please install version 3 of Sonarr if you are considering installing.

Install Sonarr from the Dashboard

  1. Login to your Dashboard at https://SERVERIP(or)DOMAIN/login.php
  2. Navigate to your Apps Dashboard and click on the Application Management tab.
  3. Click on the Install button dropdown for Sonarr ().
  4. Select Install Sonarr v3
  5. You’re done! Once the install completes the page will reload with the relevant entries on your Dashboard.

Install Sonarr from CLI

  1. Login to your server via ssh.
  2. Once logged into your server type sudo su - or sudo -i followed by hitting enter on your keyboard. This properly elevates your bash environment for running qb commands.
  3. Once your bash is elevated you can now type qb install sonarr 3 USERNAME (where USERNAME is your actual username within your QuickBox install).
  4. You’re done! On completion the relevant information for ports and access link will be posted.

After installing Sonarr

It is advised as best practice to set up the built-in Authentication within any applications that offer them. As a courtesy, the QuickBox install will stage standard browser based authentication until this is done, once an applications provided Authentication is setup the provided browser authentication by QuickBox can be easily disabled.

Set up Authentication

Once you have Sonarr installed you will want to login and set up the provided Authentication for added security.

  1. Login to your Sonarr install and navigate to Settings > General.
  2. In the Security section select from the Authentication dropdown Forms (Login Page)
  3. Enter your desired username and password (these details do not have to be the same as your QuickBox credentials, however, best practice is to at least make the password different)
  4. Hit the Save Changes icon in the top left to save.

Certificate Validation

In the same Security section as posted above, opt to change the Certificate Validation dropdown from Enabled to Disabled for Local Addresses. This will ensure any other applications on the server will have no issues communicating with Sonarr over SSL([https://][:443]) on the localhost.
