Bazarr

Bazarr is a companion application to Sonarr and Radarr. It manages and downloads subtitles based on your requirements. You define your preferences by TV show or movie and Bazarr takes care of everything for you.

Initial Setup​

First you must connect to your slot via ssh. If you need help connecting to the server, please read the help article here.

Installing Bazarr is easy. Simply issue the following command:

box install bazarr

This command will configure bazarr for your user.

How to Access​

On initial launch it is critical that you use the same login credentials AND set authentication to "Forms based" logins when asked to setup credentials!

Once setup, bazarr will be available at the link https://<hostname.io>/bazarr

Service Management​

Like all box configured applications, you can manage Bazarr via SSH with box with start, stop, restart, enable and disable commands.

box start bazarr

Configuration​

You'll need to do a bit of configuration to setup Bazarr with your subtitle providers; however, if you installed Sonarr and/or Radarr prior to installing Bazarr, we've done our best to streamline the configuration process by pre-configuring the connections to these apps for you.

First run​

If you've already got Sonarr or Radarr installed, you'll skip the setup wizard. Nifty!

You'll still need to setup your subtitles provider. Go to Settings > Subtitles. Select a provider, enter your credentials. Scroll down the page to Subtitle Languages and add your preferred languages. Click Save. Bazarr should now be ready to go!

If you haven't installed Sonarr or Radarr yet, you'll be greeted by a setup wizard. You shouldn't need to edit any details on the General page; however, if the URL Base field is empty, make sure you enter: /bazarr/ (note the leading and trailing slashes). Click Next.

On the Subtitles page, choose a provider and set at least one language. You won't be able to proceed with the wizard until you've set these basics.

Connect to *darr apps​

If Sonarr or Radarr weren't setup when you installed, you can still manually configure the connection to these apps. To add a media client, go to Settings > Sonarr or Settings > Radarr.

Sonarr​

Tip

To get your subnet IP, SSH into your server and run:

Tip

Forgot your API key or port? No worries, here are oneliners you can submit from SSH:

cat ~/.config/Sonarr/config.xml | grep -e \<Api -e \<Port

Radarr:

cat ~/.config/Radarr/config.xml | grep -e \<Api -e \<Port
