binhex-movarr

Docker app from Binhex's Repository

Overview

movarr is an automated movie torrent acquisition daemon. It polls Jackett or Prowlarr for movie torrents, filters results against IMDb metadata (rating, votes, year, runtime, language, genres, certification), and adds matching torrents to qBittorrent. Once a torrent completes, movarr can post-process it by copying the file to your media library. All key settings can be defined via the environment variables below, or in the movarr.yml configuration file mounted at /config.

Requirements

Requires a running qBittorrent instance (binhex-qbittorrent recommended). Set MOVARR_QBT_HOST/PORT/USERNAME/PASSWORD to match.

Requires either Jackett or Prowlarr as an index proxy. Set MOVARR_INDEX_PROXY to 'jackett' or 'prowlarr' and fill in the corresponding host, port, and API key variables.

For post-processing (copying completed downloads to a media library), map your library path into this container and set MOVARR_LIBRARY_PATH_LIST to the container path(s).

IMPORTANT - Please ensure you edit /config/movarr/config/movarr.yml after the initial startup.

Template configuration

Path: /configPathrw

Container path for movarr configuration file (movarr.yml), database, and logs.

Target
/config
Default
/mnt/user/appdata/binhex-movarr
Path: /mediaPathrw

Container path to your media library root. movarr copies completed movies here during post-processing. Set MOVARR_LIBRARY_PATH_LIST to the relevant sub-path(s) inside this mount (e.g. /media/Movies).

Target
/media
Default
/mnt/user
Path: /dataPathrw

Container path to the qBittorrent completed downloads directory. movarr reads source files from here during post-processing before calling qBittorrent to remove the torrent.

Target
/data
