How to Setup an Arr Stack
The Arr stack refers to a group of apps like Sonarr, Radarr and Lidarr that automate downloading and managing TV shows, movies and music. They work together to find and organise your media without you having to lift a finger, making binge-watching a breeze!
This guide includes the following services...
- Sonarr (TV Shows)
- Radarr (Movies)
- Lidarr (Music)
- Deluge (Downloads)
- Prowlarr (Index Manager)
- Watchtower (Keeps these containers up to date)
System Requirements
I run this on a Debian VM with 4 cores, 4GB of RAM and a 32GB disk. My NAS is mounted at the path /srv
Docker Install
sudo apt update
sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose
Docker Compose
To get started, create a file called docker-compose.yaml...
nano docker-compose.yaml
In this file, paste the following...
version: "3.8"
services:
sonarr:
environment:
- PUID=0
- PGID=0
- TZ=Europe/London
image: linuxserver/sonarr:latest
ports:
- 8989:8989/tcp
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- /srv/Downloads:/downloads
- /srv/TV Shows:/tvshows
- /docker/sonarr:/config
radarr:
environment:
- PUID=0
- PGID=0
- TZ=Europe/London
image: linuxserver/radarr:latest
ports:
- 7878:7878/tcp
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- /docker/radarr:/config
- /srv/Downloads:/downloads
- /srv/Movies:/movies
lidarr:
image: linuxserver/lidarr:latest
environment:
- PUID=0
- PGID=0
- TZ=Europe/London
volumes:
- /docker/lidarr/config:/config
- /srv/Music:/music
- /srv/Downloads:/downloads

deluge:
environment:

- TZ=Europe/London
image: linuxserver/deluge:latest
ports:
- 6881:6881/tcp
- 6881:6881/udp
- 8112:8112/tcp
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- /srv/Downloads:/downloads
- /docker/deluge:/config
prowlarr:
environment:
- PUID=0
- PGID=0
- TZ=Europe/London
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/prowlarr:nightly
ports:
- 9696:9696/tcp
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- /srv/:/media
- /docker/prowlarr:/config
watchtower:
image: containrrr/watchtower:latest
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
Feel free to remove any containers that you don't require.
Once complete, run this command to bring up the stack...
docker-compose up -d
Once the images have been downloaded and the containers are up, you can start checking out the containers. Each container will be accessible using http://serverip:port - change port for each service following the list below...
- Sonarr - 8989
- Radarr - 7878
- Lidarr - 8686
- Deluge - 8112
- Prowlarr - 9696
The first step I would recommend is adding a login page onto each of these systems. They all have this built in so you'll just need to enable it and create a username and password from the web interface.
That's it, if you'd like me to go into any further detail or get stuck with anything feel free to leave a comment.
