Radarr is a movie collection and management tool that automates the process of adding movies to your library. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Radarr on OpenBSD using the command line interface.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Before installing Radarr, you need to install the Mono runtime and the libcurl package, which is required for Radarr to communicate with APIs.
To install Mono and libcurl, run the following command:
sudo pkg_add -v mono curl
Create a new directory for Radarr:
sudo mkdir /opt/Radarr
Navigate to the directory:
cd /opt/Radarr
Download the latest version of Radarr:
sudo fetch "https://github.com/Radarr/Radarr/releases/latest/download/Radarr.master.*.linux-core-x64.tar.gz" -o Radarr.tar.gz
Note: Replace the asterisk (*) in the URL with the latest version number.
Extract the Radarr archive:
sudo tar xf Radarr.tar.gz
Remove the Radarr archive:
sudo rm Radarr.tar.gz
Change the ownership of the Radarr directory to the user account:
sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /opt/Radarr
Note: Replace <user> and <group> with the appropriate values.
Start Radarr:
mono /opt/Radarr/Radarr.exe
Radarr will prompt you to configure its settings. Choose your language, timezone, and preferred port.
Enter your credentials for your preferred indexer or search provider.
You can also configure Radarr to use a torrent client or Usenet provider for downloading movies.
Once you have configured Radarr, it will start downloading and adding movies to your library automatically.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Radarr on OpenBSD. Now, you can easily manage and organize your movie collection with Radarr's automation features.
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!
