Recyclarr

Recyclarr will help you to automate the configuring Radarr/Sonarr qualities.

You'll find here the following instructions to be able to download files in that specific quality:

• MULTi (Original version + Truefrench (in my case))
• 1080p
• h264
• and no HDR or 10 bits (for the last one, refer to the custom script part)

For more detailed instructions and additional configurations, please refer to the Recyclarr wiki.

Installation

To install Recyclarr, follow these steps:

1. Ensure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system.
2. Create necessary directories and change directory to recyclarr:

   mkdir -p recyclarr/config
   cd recyclarr

3. Download the provided docker-compose.yaml:

   curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/garnajee/home-server/master/recyclarr-setup/docker-compose.yaml

Warning

This docker-compose is associated with the net-chill docker subnet. Recyclarr needs to be on the same subnet as radarr and sonarr.

4. Download the provided .env-example file (the command renamed it to .env). Modify the .env file according to your environment:

   curl -o .env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/garnajee/home-server/master/recyclarr-setup/.env-example

Setup

Throughout the process you must be in the recyclarr folder

First-time Launch of Recyclarr

Run the following command to initialize Recyclarr:

docker-compose run --rm recyclarr config create

This will also create a starter configuration file (config/recyclarr.yml), but we won't use this one.

Downloading Configuration Files

After launching the first-time setup, download my predefined Radarr and Sonarr configuration files:

curl -o config/configs/radarr.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/garnajee/home-server/master/recyclarr-setup/radarr.yml
curl -o config/configs/sonarr.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/garnajee/home-server/master/recyclarr-setup/sonarr.yml

Second Launch

Modify the configuration of radarr.yml and sonarr.yml (located in config/config/) and especially the base_url and api_key fields.

Then, launch Recyclarr again:

docker-compose up -d

Then, enter the Recyclarr container shell:

docker-compose exec -it recyclarr bash

Inside the container shell, execute the following commands:

• List local config files: # recyclarr config list local
• Sync Radarr: # recyclarr sync --config radarr.yml
• Sync Sonarr: # recyclarr sync --config sonarr.yml

Additional Configuration

After setting up the Recyclarr configurations, there are a few additional configurations you need to do:

Change The Quality Profile Language in Radarr/Sonarr

1. Open your Radarr or Sonarr web interface.
2. Navigate to Settings > Profiles.
3. Click on your newly created profile ("Any")
4. Locate the "Language" option and set it to "Any" to ensure maximum compatibility

Remove Default Profile in Radarr/Sonarr

1. In your Radarr or Sonarr web interface, go to Settings > Profiles.
2. Find the default profile and remove it, as it may conflict with Recyclarr's custom profiles imported.

Custom Script

I created a Python script for importing custom formats.

If you have specific requirements, you can use my script to import your custom format into Radarr/Sonarr. You'll have to modify the "json_file_path" value in the script.

In order to use the import-cf.py script, follow these steps:

• install the requests lib: pip install requests
• download the script and custom format:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/garnajee/home-server/master/recyclarr-setup/10bits.json 
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/garnajee/home-server/master/recyclarr-setup/import-cf.py

• modify the script: Change the value of base_url and api_key with your Radarr/Sonarr corresponding values.
• run the script: python3 impor-cf.py
