Integration Points

Service Connection Method Purpose
Prowlarr API (http://prowlarr:9696) via media-network Indexer search
NZBGet API (http://nzbget:6789) via media-network Download client
Bazarr API (Bazarr polls Radarr) Subtitle fetching
Pulsarr Radarr webhook / API Watchlist sync
Seerr API Receives movie requests

Notes / Gotchas

  • Radarr root folder must be set to the path inside the container that maps to /mnt/Multimedia/Movies on the host.
  • Hardlinking between /downloads and /media requires both paths to be on the same filesystem. The current setup has downloads on Ceph OSD and the final library on NFS — hardlinking is not possible across these. Radarr performs a copy+delete instead. This is slower but correct.
  • Quality profiles are managed via Profilarr — avoid manual edits in Radarr UI.
