unpackerr

Overview

RAR download extractor for Sonarr, Radarr and Lidarr! Mount /downloads on all 3 or 4 containers to the same path on your host. This application will automatically poll all of the apps (Lidarr, Sonarr, Radarr) to check for downloads. When a completed download contains a rar file, this application will extract the file and move the extracted contents back into the download location. Files will be extracted recursively in an attempt to get all subtitles. [b]If you don't use one of Lidarr, Sonarr or Radarr, simply empty those two fields for that app and it wont be polled.[/b] If you put all your containers on the same custom bridge you may not need to expose any ports, and you can use DNS to reach other containers. It's a very convenient configuration!

About

Unpackerr runs as a daemon on your download host or seedbox. It checks for completed downloads and extracts them so Lidarr, Radarr, Readarr, and Sonarr may import them. If your problem is rar files getting stuck in your activity queue, then this is your solution.

Not a starr app user, and just need to extract files? We do that too. This application can run standalone and extract files found in a "watch" folder. In other words, you can configure this application to watch your download folder, and it will happily extract everything you download.

What's it extract?

The absolute basics, just ask STaRDoGG. It also extracts recursively, meaning deep within folders, and archives within archives. Tars, Rars, Zips, 7-Zips, Gzips, Tarred gzips and bzips; encrypted rars and 7zips. And ISO disc images. Need something else? Ask. Does it do too much? Let me know what knobs you need.
