Running Usenet Stack as Docker Containers

In Running Usenet Stack on Kubernetes, I covered how to deploy a Usenet stack onto Kubernetes.

As it turned out, Kubernetes has won the race as the orchestrator of choice but not everyone is running it in their home lab just yet. I received multiple requests how to translate my YAML files into Docker run commands.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is text256.png

sudo docker run -d –name=radarr -e PUID=1000 -e PGID=1000 -e TZ=America/New_York -p 7878:7878 -v change_me:/config -v change_me:/movies -v change_me:/downloads –restart unless-stopped linuxserver/radarr

The above command will launch a docker container from the linuxserver/radarr image and publish the application on port 7878.
Before you just run the above command, please make sure to change following paths:

/config
stores the configuration files

/movies
location of the downloaded movies after it has been moved from the /downloads folder

/downloads
download folder where your NZBGet or SABnzbd app will store the downloads

sudo docker run -d –name=sonarr -e PUID=1000 -e PGID=1000 -e TZ=America/New_York -p 8989:8989 -v change_me:/config -v change_me:/tv -v change_me:/downloads –restart unless-stopped linuxserver/sonarr

This is basically doing the same as the container for Radarr, except this application will be launched on port 8989. As with Radarr, Sonarr all needs some paths updated before launching the above command:

/config
stores the configuration files

/tv
location of the downloaded tv shows after they have been moved from the /downloads folder

/downloads
download folder where your NZBGet or SABnzbd app will store the downloads

Image result for nzbget

sudo docker run -d –name=nzbget -e PUID=1000 -e PGID=1000 -e TZ=America/New_York -p 6789:6789 -v change_me:/config -v change_me:/downloads –restart unless-stopped linuxserver/nzbget

In my other post, I covered SABnzbd but I’ve recently chosen to go with NZBGet on Docker as it has been more reliant in my lab. NZBGet’s default port is 6789 and if you don’t have a good reason, I would just keep it on the default port. NZBGet has one configuration less than Sonarr and Radarr:

/config
stores the configuration files

/downloads
download folder where your NZBGet is going to store all downloads. This folder needs to be accessible by Sonarr and Radarr.
