Start sonarr in new jail ‘service sonarr start’.ĭelete old jail when you test that the new jail works correctly. Use the Add - Torznab option, use any name you like (I always add '- jackett' just to make sure I can see any problems easier), then for the URL, go back to Jackett and click on 'Copy Torznab Feed' which will automatically copy the URL, then just paste it into the URL field in Sonarr.
SONARR SETUP ARCHIVE
Extract your backup archive to /usr/local/sonarr. Once you have that setup you can add them to Sonarr. Start sonarr ‘service sonarr start’ and then stop it ‘service sonarr stop’. In my case I used tar to create an archive in /media called sonarr-data.tar. Go back in to old jail, stop sonarr (‘service sonarr stop’) and backup /usr/local/sonarr. In my case I have a dataset called Media that I mount as /media in the sonarr jail.įollow the above installation instructions This is not necessary for sonarr, NZBHydra, or other similar services because they do not interact with media on the filesystem at all. Change the UID of the daemon user for other service(s) in the your jails to have the same UID as the media user (or another user you create), that way Sonarr can do what it needs to with the files it is owned by a UID and GID readable and writable by all required services. If you have other jails or services which need to be able to access the downloaded files (such as Sonarr, Plex, etc) then I advise the following. sonarr is now ready to use and you can navigate to it with this URL. Verify the IP address with ifconfig or if this is a jail in FreeNAS you can view your jail IP address in the Jails tab under the IPv4 address column. If media folders remote then setup access to samba shares. The IP address will depend upon the DHCP assigned address or whichever static address you have assigned it if you did so. Next, start sonarr with the following command:.The end result is a Sonarr Server running on FreeBSD or in a jail, either one you will end up with an awesome way to provide API Support for your favorite torrent trackers to use with Sonarr, sonarr, Headphones, etc.

This guide also will also apply to FreeNAS FreeNAS 9.x jails.
