Lidarr in Autopirate Docker Swarm stack

Skip the setup and get Lidarr "ElfHosted"! πŸ₯³

Want to skip the self-assembly, and have Lidarr INSTANTLY "Just Workβ„’"?

ElfHosted is an open-source app hosting platform (geek-cookbook-as-a-service), crafted with love by @funkypenguin - get your ElfHosted 🧝 instance of Lidarr now!

Warning

This is not a complete recipe - it's a component of the autopirate "uber-recipe", but has been split into its own page to reduce complexity.

Lidarr is an automated music downloader for NZB and Torrent. It performs the same function as Headphones, but is written using the same(ish) codebase as Radarr and Sonarr. It's blazingly fast, and includes beautiful album/artist art. Lidarr supports SABnzbd, NZBGet, Transmission, Β΅Torrent, Deluge and Blackhole (just like Sonarr / Radarr)

Inclusion into AutoPirate

To include Lidarr in your AutoPirate stack, include something like the following example in your autopirate.yml docker-compose stack definition file:

  lidarr:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/lidarr:latest
    env_file: /var/data/config/lidarr/lidarr.env
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /var/data/media:/media
      - /var/data/lidarr:/config
    deploy:
      replicas: 1
      labels:
        # traefik
        - traefik.enable=true
        - traefik.docker.network=traefik_public

        # traefikv1
        - traefik.frontend.rule=Host:lidarr.example.com
        - traefik.port=8686
        - traefik.frontend.auth.forward.address=http://traefik-forward-auth:4181
        - traefik.frontend.auth.forward.authResponseHeaders=X-Forwarded-User
        - traefik.frontend.auth.forward.trustForwardHeader=true        

        # traefikv2
        - "traefik.http.routers.lidarr.rule=Host(`lidarr.example.com`)"
        - "traefik.http.routers.lidarr.entrypoints=https"
        - "traefik.http.services.lidarr.loadbalancer.server.port=8686"
        - "traefik.http.routers.lidarr.middlewares=forward-auth"

Fast-track with premix! πŸš€

"Premix" is a git repository which includes necessary docker-compose and env files for all published recipes. This means that you can launch any recipe with just a git pull and a docker stack deploy πŸ‘.

πŸš€ Update: Premix now includes an ansible playbook, enabling you to deploy an entire stack + recipes, with a single ansible command! (more here)

Assemble more tools..

Continue through the list of tools below, adding whichever tools your want to use, and finishing with the end section:

Lidarr vs Headphones

Lidarr and Headphones perform the same basic function. The primary difference, from what I can tell, is that Lidarr is build on the Arr stack, and so plays nicely with Prowlarr.

Integrate Lidarr with Beets

I've not tried this yet, but it seems that it's possible to integrate Lidarr with Beets

Chef's notes πŸ““

  1. In many cases, tools will integrate with each other. I.e., Radarr needs to talk to SABnzbd and NZBHydra, Ombi needs to talk to Radarr, etc. Since each tool runs within the stack under its own name, just refer to each tool by name (i.e. "radarr"), and docker swarm will resolve the name to the appropriate container. You can identify the tool-specific port by looking at the docker-compose service definition. ↩
