Radarr
Automated movie download manager. Monitors release feeds, applies quality profiles, and sends downloads to your download client. The movie equivalent of Sonarr
Quick Start
docker run -d -p 7878:7878 -v /path/to/config:/config -v /path/to/movies:/movies lscr.io/linuxserver/radarr Overview
Radarr is to movies what Sonarr is to TV shows. It monitors Usenet and torrent release feeds, applies your quality profile rules to find matching releases, and sends them to your download client automatically. When a better-quality version of something already in your library becomes available, Radarr can grab it and replace the existing file.
The quality profile system lets you define minimum acceptable quality, preferred quality, and the point at which you will stop upgrading. A typical setup targets 1080p Blu-ray remux and upgrades from lower-quality copies when the proper release appears, without needing to check manually.
Radarr is one component in a wider arr stack. It needs Prowlarr (or Jackett) to know where to search for releases, and a download client like qBittorrent, SABnzbd, or NZBGet to handle the actual download. Add a media server like Jellyfin or Plex and the full chain from “movie released” to “available to watch” becomes automatic.
The medium difficulty rating reflects the initial setup. Once the stack is running (Prowlarr configured with indexers, download client connected, root folder set), Radarr needs almost no maintenance. A calendar view shows upcoming releases, and the movie search history makes it easy to see why a particular release was grabbed or ignored.
