Overseerr

Overseerr is a free and open source software application for managing requests for your media library. It integrates with your existing services, such as Sonarr, Radarr, and Plex.

It provides your users with a way to make requests for your media server and automatically (or with your approval) sends the request to Sonarr or Radarr.

Installation

You can install Overseerr on various platforms. I recommend the docker container for installation. If you need another installation method they can be found here:

Overseer Installations

Docker Compose

---
version: '3'

services:
  overseerr:
    image: sctx/overseerr:latest
    container_name: overseerr
    environment:
      - LOG_LEVEL=debug
      - TZ=Asia/Tokyo
      - PORT=5055 #optional
    ports:
      - 5055:5055
    volumes:
      - /path/to/appdata/config:/app/config
    restart: unless-stopped

Be sure to replace /path/to/appdata/config in the examples with a valid host directory path. If this volume mount is not configured correctly, your Overseerr settings/data will not be persisted when the container is recreated (e.g., when updating the image or rebooting your machine).

The TZ environment variable value should also be set to the TZ database name of your timezone!

CLI

docker run -d \
  --name overseerr \
  -e LOG_LEVEL=debug \
  -e TZ=Asia/Tokyo \
  -e PORT=5055 `#optional` \
  -p 5055:5055 \
  -v /path/to/appdata/config:/app/config \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  sctx/overseerr

To run the container as a specific user/group, you may optionally add --user=[ user | user:group | uid | uid:gid | user:gid | uid:group ] to the above command.

Updating

Stop and remove the existing container:

docker stop overseerr && docker rm overseerr

Pull the latest image:

docker pull sctx/overseerr

Finally, run the container with the same parameters originally used to create the container:

docker run -d ...

You may alternatively use a third-party updating mechanism, such as Watchtower or Ouroboros to keep Overseerr up-to-date automatically.
