Prerequisites

Before deploying, ensure your host environment is ready. See the Quick Start Guide for host setup instructions.

Deployment

Podman Compose

services:
  radarr:
    image: "ghcr.io/daemonless/radarr:latest"
    container_name: radarr
    environment:
      - PUID=1000  # User ID for the application process
      - PGID=1000  # Group ID for the application process
      - TZ=UTC  # Timezone for the container
    volumes:
      - "/path/to/containers/radarr:/config"
      - "/path/to/movies:/movies" # optional
      - "/path/to/downloads:/downloads" # optional
    ports:
      - "7878:7878"
    annotations:
      org.freebsd.jail.allow.mlock: "true"
    # always (not unless-stopped) so FreeBSD's podman rc.d auto-starts it at boot
    restart: always

Save as compose.yaml, then run podman-compose up -d.

AppJail Director

.env:

# .env

DIRECTOR_PROJECT=radarr
PUID=1000
PGID=1000
TZ=UTC

appjail-director.yml:

# appjail-director.yml

options:
  - virtualnet: ':<random> default'
  - nat:
services:
  radarr:
    name: radarr
    options:
      - container: 'boot args:--pull'
      - expose: '7878:7878 proto:tcp'
    oci:
      user: root
      environment:
        - PUID: !ENV '${PUID}'
        - PGID: !ENV '${PGID}'
        - TZ: !ENV '${TZ}'
    volumes:
      - radarr: /config
      - movies: /movies
      - downloads: /downloads
volumes:
  radarr:
    device: '/path/to/containers/radarr'
  movies:
    device: 'movies'
  downloads:
    device: 'downloads'

Makejail:

# Makejail

ARG tag=latest

OPTION overwrite=force
OPTION from=ghcr.io/daemonless/radarr:${tag}
SET allow.mlock=1

Save the files above, then run appjail-director up.

Note: Exposing ports in AppJail means that your service can be reached from remote hosts. If that is not your intention, do not expose the ports and communicate with the service using the IPv4 address assigned by the virtual network.

Podman CLI

podman run -d --name radarr \
  -p 7878:7878 \
  --annotation 'org.freebsd.jail.allow.mlock=true' \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=UTC \
  -v /path/to/containers/radarr:/config \
  -v /path/to/movies:/movies # optional \
  -v /path/to/downloads:/downloads # optional \
  ghcr.io/daemonless/radarr:latest

Save as run.sh, then run sh run.sh.

AppJail

appjail oci run -Pd \
  -o overwrite=force \
  -o container="args:--pull" \
  -o virtualnet=":<random> default" \
  -o nat \
  -o expose="7878:7878 proto:tcp" \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=UTC \
  -o fstab="/path/to/containers/radarr /config <pseudofs>" \
  -o fstab="/path/to/movies /movies <pseudofs>" \ # optional
  -o fstab="/path/to/downloads /downloads <pseudofs>" \ # optional
  ghcr.io/daemonless/radarr:latest radarr

Save as run.sh, then run sh run.sh.

Note: Exposing ports in AppJail means that your service can be reached from remote hosts. If that is not your intention, do not expose the ports and communicate with the service using the IPv4 address assigned by the virtual network.

Bastille

Warning

Bastille's OCI support is experimental. It requires buildah, shares the host network stack (inherit), and persists image-declared volumes under --data-path.

services:
  radarr:
    image: "ghcr.io/daemonless/radarr:latest"
    container_name: radarr
    network_mode: host  # jail shares host networking
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=UTC

Save as podman-compose.yml, then run bastille up. Or via CLI:

bastille create -O \
  --env PUID=1000 \
  --env PGID=1000 \
  --env TZ=UTC \
  --data-path /path/to/containers/radarr \
  radarr ghcr.io/daemonless/radarr:latest inherit
