linuxserver/lidarr

Lidarr is a music collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new tracks from your favorite artists and will grab, sort and rename them. It can also be configured to automatically upgrade the quality of files already downloaded when a better quality format becomes available.

Supported Architectures

Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling linuxserver/lidarr should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

Architecture	Tag
x86-64	amd64-latest
arm64	arm64v8-latest
armhf	arm32v7-latest

Version Tags

This image provides various versions that are available via tags. latest tag usually provides the latest stable version. Others are considered under development and caution must be exercised when using them.

Tag	Description
latest	Stable Lidarr releases.
preview	Nightly Lidarr Releases.

Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.

docker

docker create \
  --name=lidarr \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -e UMASK_SET=022 `#optional` \
  -p 8686:8686 \
  -v </path/to/appdata/config>:/config \
  -v </path/to/music>:/music \
  -v </path/to/downloads>:/downloads \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/lidarr

docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

---
version: "2"
services:
  lidarr:
    image: linuxserver/lidarr
    container_name: lidarr
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/London
      - UMASK_SET=022 #optional
    volumes:
      - </path/to/appdata/config>:/config
      - </path/to/music>:/music
      - </path/to/downloads>:/downloads
    ports:
      - 8686:8686
    restart: unless-stopped

Parameters

Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

Parameter	Function
`-p 8686`	Application WebUI
`-e PUID=1000`	for UserID - see below for explanation
`-e PGID=1000`	for GroupID - see below for explanation
`-e TZ=Europe/London`	Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London.
`-e UMASK_SET=022`	control permissions of files and directories created by Sonarr
`-v /config`	Configuration files for Lidarr.
`-v /music`	Music files.
`-v /downloads`	Path to your download folder for music.

User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

Application Setup

Access the webui at <your-ip>:8686, for more information check out Lidarr.

Support Info

Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it lidarr /bin/bash
To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: docker logs -f lidarr
container version number
- docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lidarr
image version number
- docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/lidarr

Updating Info

Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.

Below are the instructions for updating containers:

Via Docker Run/Create

Update the image: docker pull linuxserver/lidarr
Stop the running container: docker stop lidarr
Delete the container: docker rm lidarr
Recreate a new container with the same docker create parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your /config folder and settings will be preserved)
Start the new container: docker start lidarr
You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

Via Docker Compose

Update all images: docker-compose pull
- or update a single image: docker-compose pull lidarr
Let compose update all containers as necessary: docker-compose up -d
- or update a single container: docker-compose up -d lidarr
You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

Via Watchtower auto-updater (especially useful if you don't remember the original parameters)

Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one run:

docker run --rm \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
containrrr/watchtower \
--run-once lidarr

Note: We do not endorse the use of Watchtower as a solution to automated updates of existing Docker containers. In fact we generally discourage automated updates. However, this is a useful tool for one-time manual updates of containers where you have forgotten the original parameters. In the long term, we highly recommend using Docker Compose.

You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

Building locally

If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:

git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-lidarr.git
cd docker-lidarr
docker build \
  --no-cache \
  --pull \
  -t linuxserver/lidarr:latest .

The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static

docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset

Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64.
