Installation
Docker is the easiest way to deploy Questarr with all dependencies included. Questarr uses a SQLite database which is self-contained in the application container.
Option 1: One-liner (Simplest but minimal)
docker run -d -p 5000:5000 -v ./data:/app/data --name questarr ghcr.io/doezer/questarr:latest
Option 2: Docker Compose (more detailed)
Use the
docker-compose.ymlfile from the repo or create a minimal one:services: app: image: ghcr.io/doezer/questarr:latest ports: - "5000:5000" volumes: - ./data:/app/data environment: - SQLITE_DB_PATH=/app/data/sqlite.db restart: unless-stoppedStart the application:
docker compose up -dAccess the application: Open your browser to
http://localhost:5000
UNRAID
Install via Community Applications
Questarr is available in the Unraid Apps tab via Community Applications:
- Open the Apps tab and search for Questarr, then click Install.
- Set your Data Path (default
/mnt/user/appdata/questarr), PUID/PGID, and ports (default5000HTTP,9898HTTPS if using it). - Optionally set Library Path to the same root your download client(s) write into (e.g.
/mnt/user/data) if you want Questarr to move completed downloads into your game library. This host path is mounted at/datainside the container, so add a mapping under Settings → Path Mappings with Local Path set to/dataand Remote Path set to the exact path your download client reports for that root. Leave Library Path blank if you manage imports manually. - Apply, then open
http://<unraid-host>:5000to access the UI.
Home Assistant Add-on
Install as a Home Assistant add-on
You can install Questarr as a Home Assistant add-on from this repository:
- In Home Assistant, open Settings → Add-ons → Add-on Store.
- Click the menu (⋮) and choose Repositories.
- Add this repository URL:
https://github.com/Doezer/Questarr - Install the Questarr add-on and start it.
- Open
http://<home-assistant-host>:5000to access the UI.

Tech Stack
- APIs: IGDB (game metadata), Torznab/Newznab (indexer search), PCGamingWiki, NexusMods, xREL.to
- AIs usage:
- Claude and Github Copilot are used for AI-Assisted coding, internal code reviews, PR cleanup. Eventually automated coding and troubleshooting for small tasks and bug reports.
- Gemini & Codex are used for automated code reviews, and brainstorming from time to time (as well as Perplexity for this usage).
- Google Jules is used for light periodical refactoring.
Configuration
- First-time setup:
- Create your admin account
- Configure the IGDB credentials
Once logged-in:
- Configure indexers
- Add downloaders
- Add games!
See Configuration on the Wiki for more detailed info.
Getting IGDB API Credentials
IGDB provides game metadata (covers, descriptions, ratings, release dates, etc.).
- Go to Twitch Developer Console
- Log in with your Twitch account (create one if needed)
- Click "Register Your Application"
- Fill in:
- Name: Questarr (or any name)
- OAuth Redirect URLs:
http://localhost(not used, but required) - Category: Application Integration
- Click "Create"
- Copy your Client ID and Client Secret
- Add them to your
.envfile
Upgrading from v1.0 (PostgreSQL)
If you are upgrading from an older version that used PostgreSQL, you need to migrate your data.
Stop your current application:
docker compose downGet the migration tools: Download the
docker-compose.migrate.ymlfile to your directory.Run the migration: This command spins up your old database and converts the data to the new format automatically.
docker compose -f docker-compose.migrate.yml up --abort-on-container-exitUpdate your deployment: Replace your
docker-compose.ymlwith the new version (see "Fresh Install" above).Start the new version:
docker compose up -d
See docs/MIGRATION.md for more details.
Advanced usage
Docker compose
This is mainly for users who want the latest commit (e.g when trying out fixes for an issue) or contributing users.
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Doezer/Questarr.git
cd Questarr
Configure the application: Edit
docker-compose.ymldirectly if you need to setup a specific environment.Build and start the containers:
docker-compose up -d
- Access the application:
Open your browser to
http://localhost:5000
Update to latest version for Docker
Your database content will be kept.
git pull
docker-compose down
docker-compose build --no-cache
docker-compose up -d
Reverse proxy / subdirectory deployment
Want to serve Questarr from a path like https://xxx.domain.com/Questarr
instead of its own subdomain? Set QUESTARR_BASE_PATH=/Questarr on the
container (or in .env for npm installs) and point your reverse proxy at it
— no rebuild required. See docs/REVERSE_PROXY.md for
full setup instructions (nginx, Traefik, Caddy).
Roadmap
Based on the Product Requirements Document, here's what's planned over the next 6 months, in priority order:
- ✅ P0 — Post-Processing Pipeline : Move/copy completed downloads to a destination path, extract archives — closing the "set it and forget it" loop.
- P1 — Smart Game Backlog: Track the version of each downloaded game and notify (or auto-download) when a newer release shows up on indexers.
- P2 — Direct Download Support: Add debrid services (Real-Debrid and similar) as a downloader option, no seeding required.
- P3 — External Library Sync: Import owned games from Steam/GOG libraries and local filesystem scans, not just wishlists.
- P4 — Integrations with External Tools: Playnite, RomM, Gameyfin, and a generic webhook for anything not explicitly supported.
- P5 — Indexer Page Links: A "View on indexer" link on search results and downloads.
- P6 — PostgreSQL Support: Re-introduce PostgreSQL as an optional backend, with SQLite remaining the zero-config default.
Ongoing: mobile responsiveness, search UX, performance, and security improvements.
