QuestarrNG

QuestarrNG

Docker app from questarrng's Repository

Overview

Standalone NG fork of Questarr for PC game discovery and acquisition, with optional SeerrNG integration.

Questarr

Snapetech QuestarrNG fork

This fork adds the SeerrNG catalog and acquisition contract. Use ghcr.io/snapetech/questarrng:latest or the Compose file in this repository; the upstream Questarr image does not contain the SeerrNG integration routes. The fork image is published for linux/amd64 from main.

G4U.to Same as Newznab

SeerrNG integration

QuestarrNG provides SeerrNG with an IGDB catalog and request-scoped PC-game acquisition through a versioned, authenticated integration API. The contract keeps SeerrNG's request ID and selected OS/architecture attached to Questarr's tracked game and download records. See docs/API.md for the catalog, status, retry, cancellation, and imported-file streaming routes. Cancellation stops only downloads safely correlated to the SeerrNG request; completed files remain on disk, and ambiguous active downloads are refused. If Questarr restarts during a handoff before recording its download, it pauses the request for a duplicate-download check before retrying or cancelling. The retry or cancel endpoint returns 409 with confirmationRequired until the caller checks the download queue/history and sends confirmNoExistingDownload: true.

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.

Supported architectures: released Docker images are published for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64, so Questarr runs on a Raspberry Pi 4/5 with a 64-bit OS, other 64-bit ARM SBCs, and ARM-based NAS boxes as well as on x86 hardware. Docker selects the right architecture automatically — the commands below are identical on every platform. (32-bit ARM, e.g. armv7/a 32-bit OS on Raspberry Pi 3 and earlier, is not supported. The Home Assistant add-on is amd64-only.)

Option 1: One-liner (Simplest but minimal)

docker run -d -p 5000:5000 -v ./data:/app/data --name questarrng ghcr.io/snapetech/questarrng:latest

Option 2: Docker Compose (more detailed)

  1. Use the docker-compose.yml file from the repo or create a minimal one:

    services:
      app:
        image: ghcr.io/snapetech/questarrng:latest
        ports:
          - "5000:5000"
        volumes:
          - ./data:/app/data
        environment:
          - SQLITE_DB_PATH=/app/data/sqlite.db
        restart: unless-stopped
    
  2. Start the application:

    docker compose up -d
    
  3. Access the application: Open your browser to http://localhost:5000

Proxmox VE (LXC)

Deploy as a Proxmox LXC container — no Docker

Run this on your Proxmox VE host, as root, to create an LXC container with Questarr installed and running as a systemd service:

bash -c "$(curl --fail --silent --show-error --location --proto '=https' --proto-redir '=https' https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Doezer/Questarr/main/scripts/proxmox/questarr-lxc.sh)"

The script picks the next free container ID, downloads a Debian template if needed, creates an unprivileged container, builds Questarr from source, and prints the URL to open. Every prompt has a default, so you can accept them all and be done in a few minutes.

Update later with pct exec <ctid> -- update.

See docs/PROXMOX.md for non-interactive installs, sizing guidance, configuration, and troubleshooting.

UNRAID

Install via Community Applications

The upstream Questarr Community Apps entry uses the upstream image and does not include this fork's SeerrNG integration routes. Use the QuestarrNG fork template for ghcr.io/snapetech/questarrng:latest. QuestarrNG works as a standalone game manager; SeerrNG integration is optional. For package or integration support, use the SeerrNG issue tracker.

  1. Install the QuestarrNG template rather than the upstream Questarr template.
  2. Set your Data Path (default /mnt/user/appdata/questarrng), PUID/PGID, and HTTP port (default 5000).
  3. Set the Game Library and Downloads paths to the folders shared with your download client. The game library is mounted at /data inside the container; add a matching entry under Settings → Path Mappings when the download client reports a different path.
  4. Apply, then open http://<unraid-host>:5000 to access the UI.

CasaOS

Install via Custom Install (AppFile)
  1. Open the App Store and click Custom Install.
  2. Click the import icon (top right) and paste this URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Doezer/Questarr/main/casaos/docker-compose.yml
  3. Review the mounts — by default /DATA/AppData/questarr holds Questarr's data and /DATA/Downloads is mounted at /data so Questarr can import finished downloads. If you keep that second mount, add a matching entry under Settings → Path Mappings.
  4. Click Install, then open Questarr from the CasaOS dashboard (port 5000).

Umbrel

Install via Community App Store
  1. In umbrelOS, open the App Store.
  2. Click the ā‹® menu (top right) → Community App Stores.
  3. Add this repository URL: https://github.com/Doezer/Questarr
  4. Open the Doezer store and install Questarr (app ID doezer-questarr), then open it from your dashboard (http://umbrel.local:5000).

Cosmos Cloud

Install as a ServApp
  1. Open Market Place → Custom Install (or Servapps → Add).
  2. Paste this URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Doezer/Questarr/main/cosmos/questarr.cosmos-compose.json
  3. Fill in the install form: Data folder, optional Library folder (the root your download client writes into, mounted at /data), and PUID/PGID.
  4. Install. Cosmos creates the route questarr.<your-server-hostname> and handles HTTPS for you.

Kubernetes (Helm)

Install with the bundled Helm chart

A Helm chart lives in charts/questarr. It is not published to a Helm repository yet, so install it from a clone:

git clone https://github.com/Doezer/Questarr.git
cd Questarr
helm install questarr charts/questarr --namespace questarr --create-namespace

Then port-forward (or enable the Ingress) and open the UI:

kubectl port-forward -n questarr svc/questarr 5000:5000

Questarr keeps its state in a single SQLite database on a ReadWriteOnce volume, so the chart never runs more than one replica. See charts/questarr/README.md for the full option reference — persistence, media mounts, secrets, Ingress and subdirectory deployments.

Home Assistant Add-on

Install as a Home Assistant add-on

You can install Questarr as a Home Assistant add-on from this repository:

  1. In Home Assistant, open Settings → Add-ons → Add-on Store.
  2. Click the menu (ā‹®) and choose Repositories.
  3. Add this repository URL: https://github.com/Doezer/Questarr
  4. Install the Questarr add-on and start it.
  5. Open http://<home-assistant-host>:5000 to access the UI.

All platform definitions live in the repository and share the same mounts and ports — see docs/HOME_SERVER_APPS.md for details.

  7. Add them to your .env file
Upgrading from v1.0 (PostgreSQL)

If you are upgrading from an older version that used PostgreSQL, you need to migrate your data.

The migration tooling was removed in v1.5.0 and is now run from the archived v1.4.2 release. Follow docs/MIGRATION.md, which inlines the pinned compose file and links the sources by tag permalink.

This is only for pre-v1.1 PostgreSQL installations. Running Questarr on PostgreSQL as an opt-in backend is a separate feature — see docs/DATABASE.md.

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.

  1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Doezer/Questarr.git
cd Questarr
  1. Configure the application: Edit docker-compose.yml directly if you need to setup a specific environment.

  2. Build and start the containers:

docker-compose up -d
  1. 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:

  • āœ… 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: āœ… Playnite extension shipped (library sync, request-to-download); RomM, Gameyfin, and a generic webhook for anything not explicitly supported are still planned.
  • 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.
