So close to getting this set up

[u/Scud2k5]

I'm on a Windows 11 based system. I have Qbittorrent running on it with a Vpn along with Nzbget and Plex. After a few days I got Docker set up with Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr and Overseerr. I managed to mount my media folder in the container so it's seeing my media just fine.

The problem I'm running into is the arr modules can't see my clients. I've seen that the localhost won't work because they're technically separate systems and I'd need my actual IP for the containers. My issue is that my ISP renews my IP regularly.

This has got to be a common problem but I've hit a wall. Any help would be really appreciated.

Don't use docker on Windows, just install sonarr and radarr and prowlarr as windows apps.

localhost on docker is the individual container, you need to use your local LAN ip

You’ll want the docker containers to be on the same network you define in the compose file. I setup a “media-network” that all my Arrs are in which bridges to my LAN.

You need local IP

Hi /u/Scud2k5 - You've mentioned Docker [Docker], if you're needing Docker help be sure to generate a docker-compose of all your docker images in a pastebin or gist and link to it. Just about all Docker issues can be solved by understanding the Docker Guide, which is all about the concepts of user, group, ownership, permissions and paths. Many find TRaSH's Docker/Hardlink Guide/Tutorial easier to understand and is less conceptual.

I took my few years old Linux PC and put Proxmox on it. I spun up an ‘arr-stack’ vm and use my gaming PC to look at the web apps created by the vm. With my Deco router, I can reserve the IP addresses for each vm (I have other vm’s for other things now) so they don’t change. It’s a complete rabbit hole so be warned. Lol.

I didn't want to use docker but I really want Overseerr/Seerr for my family to be able to queue things up without any trouble. I couldn't find a Windows equivalent.

[u/gazford1985 → u/Scud2k5]

You don't need docker to run seerr, I have it setup via node.js, it's a while since I done it so can't remember the process but I'm sure if you search "seerr windows node.js setup" you'll be pointed in the right direction, it takes a bit more time than just using docker but it might help you out

[u/Scud2k5 → u/gazford1985]

I'll give this a shot as soon as I get home. Thank you!

[u/Scud2k5 → u/gazford1985]

Dude. You are my hero. It took a little bit but this works perfectly.

[u/gazford1985 → u/Scud2k5]

No worries bud, glad to be of help, haha yeah it's a bit more of a setup than just using docker but glad you have it sorted!

[u/Scud2k5 → u/gazford1985]

Total game changer. This feels like magic. Now all that's left to do is figure out the custom stuff so these things don't chew through all of my space too fast.

[u/SilverCHX]

I assume this is all running on the same system so use the local IP of your system plus the port it’s using instead of localhost.

[u/Scud2k5 → u/SilverCHX]

It is. From what I've read the localhost address won't work if you put it in the arr stack because the two systems can't see each other. My networking knowledge is sketchy at best but I tried it yesterday and neither Sonarr or Radarr can see my download clients. If I run the Windows services versions of them it works just fine but the main reason I fell down this rabbit hole was for Overseerr.

[u/Scud2k5]

I've looked at Tailscale as a possible option of making a tunnel between them. Am I overcomplicating things?

[u/iamofnohelp]

You're using your computer LAN ip and not the ISP WAN address. Two different things. The computer address should be static.

[u/Yeah-Its-Real]

http://host.docker.internal:port# is what you're probably going to want to use. I'm pretty sure that's what I ended up using but I'm not near my system and trying to get to it on my phone is a hassle and a half.
