How to Install Radarr on Fedora Server Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Radarr on a Fedora Server Latest. Radarr is an open-source application that automatically downloads movies via BitTorrent or Usenet. It can monitor multiple torrent trackers, anime or TV shows, and sends you a notification when a new episode or movie is available.

Prerequisites

Before installing Radarr on a Fedora Server Latest, you need to have the following prerequisites:

• A Fedora Server Latest with root access (sudo privileges).
• A stable internet connection.
• A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and Mono installed on your server.
• A text editor to modify configuration files.
• A BitTorrent client or Usenet backend for downloading movies or TV shows.

Step 1: Install Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

Open the terminal and run the following command to install the Java Development Kit (JDK) for Fedora:

sudo dnf install java-11-openjdk-devel

Verify the Java version:

java -version

The output should display 11 as the version.

Step 2: Install Mono

Run the following command to install Mono:

sudo dnf install mono-core mono-devel

Verify Mono installation:

mono --version

The output should display the version.

Step 3: Install BitTorrent client/Usenet backend

You can use any of the BitTorrent clients such as Transmission or qBittorrent which are available in Fedora's official repositories. To install qBittorrent, run the following command:

sudo dnf install qbittorrent

Alternatively, you can use an Usenet backend like Sabnzbd. To install Sabnzbd, check out How to install Sabnzbd on Fedora Server Latest.

Step 4: Download and Install Radarr

Create a directory for Radarr:

sudo mkdir /opt/Radarr

Download the Radarr tarball from the official website. At the time of writing, the latest version is 3.2.2.

wget -P /opt/Radarr https://github.com/Radarr/Radarr/releases/download/v3.2.2.5080/Radarr.master.3.2.2.5080.linux-core-x64.tar.gz

Extract the files from the tarball:

sudo tar -xzf /opt/Radarr/Radarr.master.3.2.2.5080.linux-core-x64.tar.gz -C /opt/Radarr/

Step 5: Create a Radarr systemd Service

Create a Radarr systemd unit file:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/radarr.service

Copy and paste the following configuration:

[Unit]
Description=Radarr Daemon
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
User=radarr
Group=radarr
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mono /opt/Radarr/Radarr.exe -nobrowser
Restart=always
TimeoutStopSec=20

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Save and close the file. Press Ctrl + X, then Y, then Enter.

Step 6: Create a Radarr User

Create a dedicated user for Radarr:

sudo useradd -r -s /sbin/nologin radarr

Change the ownership of the Radarr directory to radarr user:

sudo chown -R radarr:radarr /opt/Radarr

Step 7: Enable and Start Radarr Service

Reload the systemd configuration and start the Radarr service:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable radarr
sudo systemctl start radarr

Step 8: Configure Radarr Web Interface

You can access the web interface of Radarr by visiting http://[server-ip]:7878/. By default, the username and password are both "admin". You will be redirected to the setup wizard where you can configure the settings for Radarr.

That's it! You have successfully installed and configured Radarr on a Fedora Server Latest. Happy media streaming!

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
