Docker

This guide expects some previous docker knowledge and an already working environment.

docker compose

docker compose for autobrr. Modify if running with unRAID or setting up with Portainer.

• Logging is optional
• Host port mapping might need to be changed to not collide with other apps
• Change BASE_DOCKER_DATA_PATH to match your setup. Can be simply ./data
• Set custom network if needed
• Set the user: 1000:1000 to correct ID of your user.

docker-compose.yml

services:
  autobrr:
    container_name: autobrr
    image: ghcr.io/autobrr/autobrr:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    #logging:
    #  driver: json-file
    #  options:
    #    max-file: ${DOCKERLOGGING_MAXFILE}
    #    max-size: ${DOCKERLOGGING_MAXSIZE}
    user: 1000:1000
    environment:
      - TZ=${TZ}
    volumes:
      - ${BASE_DOCKER_DATA_PATH}/autobrr/config:/config
    ports:
      - 7474:7474

Environment variables

We support the following environment variables to override the config file:

docker-compose.yml

services:
  autobrr:
    environment:
      - AUTOBRR__HOST=string
      - AUTOBRR__PORT=string
      - AUTOBRR__BASE_URL=string
      - AUTOBRR__LOG_LEVEL=string
      - AUTOBRR__LOG_PATH=string
      - AUTOBRR__LOG_MAX_SIZE=string/int without MB
      - AUTOBRR__LOG_MAX_BACKUPS=string/int
      - AUTOBRR__SESSION_SECRET=string
      - AUTOBRR__CUSTOM_DEFINITIONS=string
      - AUTOBRR__CHECK_FOR_UPDATES=bool
      - AUTOBRR__DATABASE_TYPE=sqlite/postgres
      - AUTOBRR__POSTGRES_HOST=string
      - AUTOBRR__POSTGRES_PORT=string
      - AUTOBRR__POSTGRES_DATABASE=string
      - AUTOBRR__POSTGRES_USER=string
      - AUTOBRR__POSTGRES_PASS=string
      - AUTOBRR__POSTGRES_SSLMODE=string
      - AUTOBRR__POSTGRES_EXTRA_PARAMS=string

Manually configure autobrr (optional)

You can either let autobrr create the config itself at startup, or create one manually. For more information, please visit configuring autobrr which covers creating a user manually, configuring the default port, setting the desired log level, etc.

Start the container

docker compose up -d

Listen address

info

By default autobrr listens on 127.0.0.1 out of security considerations. Even though autobrr has built-in Docker detection and automagically adjusts the listen address, it is recommended to manually set the listen address (in config.toml) to 0.0.0.0 in case you run into problems with your setup.

Reverse proxy (recommended)

It's recommended to run it behind a reverse proxy like Caddy (very simple) or nginx (moderately simple) in order to get TLS, more robust authentication mechanisms and other similar benefits.

Please see the Reverse proxy section for reverse proxy configuration examples.

Finishing up

Now it's up and running, and you should be able to visit it at autobrr.domain.ltd or domain.ltd:7474 and login. Check out the next pages for further setup.
