Package: buildarr
Welcome to Buildarr!This is Buildarr, a solution to automating deployment and configuration of your *Arr stack.Have you spent many hours getting your setup for one or more linked Sonarr/Radarr/Prowlarr instances just right, only to have no way to reproduce this setup apart from UI screenshots and database backups?Buildarr aims to alleviate those concerns by using a static configuration file to store settings for all your *Arr applications, and automatically configure them as defined. It can just once using an ad-hoc user command, or as a service to keep your application configurations up to date. Buildarr runs idempotently, only making changes to your instance if they are required.It can also automatically retrieve optimal configuration values from TRaSH-Guides for many things such as quality definitions and release profiles, so not only is there no need to manually input them into your configuration, Buildarr will also continually keep them up to date for you.The full documentation for Buildarr is availablehere.Similar projectsBuildarr attempts to fulfill some of the needs of users of the following projects.Bobarr- An all-in-one package containing Sonarr, Radarr, Jackett etcStill requires manual configuration of many components, and there is no way to store the configuration as code.Flemmarr- Uses API parameters stored in YAML configuration files to push configuration changes to Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr etcRequires users to comprehensively learn how the APIs of each application work, going through often poor documentation.Since the values are machine-oriented, configuration files are difficult to write and understand.Does not support idempotent updates (at this time).Recyclarr- Automatically syncs recommended TRaSH-Guides settings to Sonarr/Radarr instancesBuildarr has support for this built-in, and in the case of Sonarr release profiles, supports the same filtering syntax.InstallationBuildarr is available on Docker Hub as a Docker image.$dockerpullcallum027/buildarr:latestAll available pluginsat the time of release are bundled into the official Docker container for Buildarr, so you can manage instances of those types right away.Buildarr can also be installed usingpip. Python 3.8 or later is required. Windows is natively supported.As of version 0.4.0, the Python package for Buildarr no longer includes plugins for applications. In order to use Buildarr to manage an application instance, you will also need to install its corresponding plugin.$python3-mvenvbuildarr-venv
$.buildarr-venv/bin/activate
$python3-mpipinstallbuildarrYou can deploy Buildarr as a service within aDocker Composeenvironment, or use configuration management tools such asAnsibleto automatically deploy it.For more information, check theinstallation instructions.PluginsBuildarr supports external plugins to allow additional applications to be supported.At the time of this release the following plugins are available:buildarr-sonarr-SonarrPVR for TV showsbuildarr-radarr-RadarrPVR for moviesbuildarr-prowlarr-Prowlarrindexer manager for Arr applicationsbuildarr-jellyseerr-Jellyseerrmedia request manager for Jellyfin, Sonarr and RadarrFor more information on installing plugins, check theplugin documentation.ConfigurationBuildarr uses YAML as its configuration file format. By default, Buildarr looks forbuildarr.ymlin the current directory.It contains not only the settings for Buildarr itself, but also the application instances to be managed. Multiple instances of the same application type can be defined (for example, a common use case would be separate Sonarr instances for HD TV shows, 4K TV shows, and anime).Any configuration on the remote instance not explicitly defined in the Buildarr configuration is not modified.For more information on how Buildarr uses configuration and how to configure Buildarr itself, check theconfiguration documentation.Here is an example of a simple Buildarr configuration that changes some settings on a Sonarr instance:---# buildarr.yml# Buildarr example configuration file.# Buildarr configuration (all settings have sane default values)buildarr:watch_config:trueupdate_days:-"monday"-"tuesday"-"wednesday"-"thursday"-"friday"-"saturday"-"sunday"update_times:-"03:00"# Sonarr instance configurationsonarr:hostname:"localhost"port:8989protocol:"http"settings:# General settings (all options supported except for changing the API key)general:host:instance_name:"Sonarr(BuildarrExample)"If you have an already configured application instance, its configuration can be dumped. For example, to get the configuration of a Sonarr instance, this can be done using the following command (Buildarr will prompt for your API key):$dockerrun-it--rmcallum027/buildarr:latestsonarrdump-confighttp://sonarr.example.com:8989Once you have this configuration, you can insert it intobuildarr.ymland ensure this configuration is maintained.Running BuildarrOnce you have a valid configuration file, you can try Buildarr on your local machine using the Docker image.The following command will mount the current folder into the Docker container sobuildarr.ymlcan be read, and start Buildarr in daemon mode.$dockerrun-d--namebuildarr-v$(pwd):/config-ePUID=$(id-u)-ePGID=$(id-g)callum027/buildarr:latestIf installed usingpip, simply run thebuildarrCLI command.$buildarrdaemonOn startup, Buildarr daemon will do an initial sync with the defined instances, updating their configuration immediately.
After this initial run, Buildarr will wake up at the scheduled times to periodically run updates as required.2023-11-12 10:00:29,220 buildarr:1 buildarr.cli.daemon [INFO] Buildarr version 0.7.0 (log level: INFO)

There are so many possible configurations to cover that I simply cannot feasibly test every feature at this time.If you encounter an issue or error while using Buildarr, please do a Buildarr ad-hoc run with verbose log output by executingbuildarr --log-level DEBUG runand making an issue onour GitHub repositoryexplaining the issue and attaching the output.

Documentation of the internal APIs is still in the works, so for now, the best way to learn how Buildarr works is to clone the project and have a look at the comments and docstrings.Pre-commit hooks are configured for this project. In this pre-commit hook,Black,RuffandMypyare run to automatically format source files, ensure grammatical correctness and variable type consistency.To enable them, ensure thepre-commitPython package is installed in your local environment and run the following command:$pre-commitinstallPoetry is used to manage the Python package definition and dependencies in this project.If you're looking to develop a new plugin for adding support for a new application, please develop it as a new package and configure entry points in your Python package definitions to allow Buildarr to load your plugin.Setuptoolssetup.pyentry point definition example:fromsetuptoolsimportsetupsetup(# ...,entry_points={"buildarr.plugins":["example = buildarr_example.plugin:ExamplePlugin",],},)Setuptoolssetup.cfgentry point definition example:[options.entry_points]buildarr.plugins=example=buildarr_example.plugin:ExamplePluginSetuptoolspyproject.tomlentry point definition example:[project.entry-points."buildarr.plugins"]"example"="buildarr_example.plugin:ExamplePlugin"Poetry plugin definition example:[tool.poetry.plugins."buildarr.plugins"]"example"="buildarr_example.plugin:ExamplePlugin"
