What is Radarr?

Qnap Radarr for downloading movies

Radarr is an open-source application designed to track, download and manage movies. It uses an intuitive web interface to allow you to add movies to your library. Radarr then automatically searches for the best available downloads based on your preferences, such as image quality, format and language.

With Radarr you can:

  • Automatically download movies via NZB or torrent clients.
  • Filter releases based on specific criteria.
  • Update and sync libraries with media management tools like Plex or Kodi.

Why QNAP?

QNAP devices are ideal for media management due to their large storage capacity, powerful hardware, and support for diverse applications. The QTS software makes it easy to install third-party apps such as Radarr. QNAP also provides:

  • A user-friendly interface for file access.
  • Support for RAID configurations for data protection.
  • Streaming capabilities via DLNA, Plex or other media centers.

Installing Radarr on a QNAP NAS

Installing Radarr on your QNAP NAS is easy, but requires a few steps depending on which Qnap device you have. If you have Docker at your disposal, I recommend choosing this because it is free. Use the https://registry.hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/radarr/ url in Docker QNap.

If you install Radarr via Qnap Repo it will unfortunately cost you money. See below for the installation tutorial.
